Hello, getting banded on october 17!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and i am wondering if anyone on here was banded by dr. sheldon Randall. thanks lauren cannon

I was wondering if anyone wanted to go and walk with me around elm bank...i usually take my dogs, which are the biggest...loves in the world. I own a mastiff, great dane and a belgian malinios. If anyone is intersted in walking with me please let me know. It is hard to motivate just yourself, if you have to meet someone it is easier!

please email me at Lshelley21@aol.com!!!! I would love to talk to you more about this!!!

hello, i haven't been on in a while. I ended up breaking my foot, which completely set me off track of loosing any weight at all...now i am ready to get going again and my other ankle is having a HUGE issue...it almost looks like elephantitis...but anyway...i just got my third fill, and i seem to be having a lot of trouble with it....well not really i guess, but i seem to be able to thow up anything i want to...I am not going balemic or anything like that, but if i put my neck down, i can push up the food like it is in my espophagus. Ther is definitly restriction now, my dr. said to go on fluids only for 3 days...and boy oh boy is he right. I ate salad and chicken the other day and it felt like road rash in my espophagus...there is lots of saliva that seems to keep coming up again, although the band isn't too tight or anything...perhaps it is just me. I am a little disappointed as i have only lost 30 pounds in almost a year...put perhaps if i didn't have my set backs it would be different.

Is it a bad idea to also do weight watchers while having the lap band? I have no restriction yet, not until after thanksgiving.....but i can eat anything. Could also combining weight watchers help?

ok so i know that the band gets tighter when that time of month comes around. although i have not been able to eat anything today, my band only has 6cc in 10cc band. Not only that, but i have had KILLER KILLER cramps, to the point of crying and bedrest all day. I didn't know what i could take, as when i called the dr. and they were not there. I found the meds from my surgury and i took 2 of them as directed (oxycodone) It has worked wonders, although now.. my temperature SPIKED wayyyy high, then it went low, and now it is normal. when it spiked, i had to change all of my clothes two times because i sweat soo much, you could wring out the clothes. I have thrown up several times today, although it was heaving because i haven't been able to eat, and Now i am just nausious. I was able to eat some pretzels which tasted SOOOOOOO good, never tasted so good. It almost soaked up all the stomach juices in my stomach. What can i take for cramps? Tylonal does not work for me, i do not want to go this route tommorow at all...so please help!!!!!

i feel like i want a historectomy...i want this gone, i hate this...it has always been bad with cramps, but why keep intact per se if my husband can not have kids to begin with? I just want to neuter myself! lol. I know we can do a donor or whatever, although if that doesn't happen with in the next 2 years, i am going to dye of pain and suffering. I am only 27, and for the past 4 years the pain has gotten so much worst. I was on birthcontrol the Yaz one, but my period would not stop....for over a month!!! so they took me off of it. I am so at a loss....the feeling of puking is horrible, no matter what i do.....i know the band actually isn't all that tight normally, although now drinking is a problem....i am so tired...no energy at all, can't keep anything down, and i want my insides to be taken out!!!

4-6 weeks here too!!

Hello everyone...i am in need of some recipes for deserts that are ok for me to have. I would like to make a sugar free triffle, well i am making that. BUT...what else can i make? Is there any low fat/low sugar cookies i can make? Please give recipes!! I am in dire need

OK...so i despise running...at least in high school. So today i cleared off the treadmill and started to walk...then i got influenced to run...and i did for a whole....minute...sigh....1 minute? that is all i could do? Please does anyone have any tips for first time runners? I will only go on the treadmill until i can breath properly. How do you breath properly so you don't run out of breath so fast? please help!!

Why is my husband continuously trying to sabatage my success so far with the lap band? why? What have i done wrong for him not to help and support me? He offers me pizza and cookies, and ice cream...purchases my fav candy for me too....what is the deal??? He has changed huge, he only visited me for 10 minutes in the hospital. 10 minutes...if it was him i would have been there all night for him. ALL NIGHT... (i have 3 dogs) i woke up this morning to the smell of poop in the house. I got out of bed to see what the deal was...i walk into the kitchen smell stronger...i look at the dog who is in her crate and poop is everywhere...EVERYWHERE....NOW..if it just happened..i understand mistakes happen...but when i went to clean it up, it was COLD...COLD i tell you so that means it happened last night...and he didn't notice? so now i have a poop covred dog...AAAHHHH why is he doing this to me? why is he purposely makeing me mad and trying to sabatage me? WHY? We go grocery shopping and he purchases food for his lunches....fine...he then asks me like a little boy if he can get chips, sure..if you want them and need them then sure. Then we come home and he is shocked i said yes....then he eats them when we come home from shopping....and says well you said yes so they must be healthy...he is 35, he is a big boy now, and he can make his own decisions right???? do i have to be a mom to him??? AAAAAHHHHH i wish i was lesbian:cursing:

Thank you for the chewable Fiber advise!! My dr. never said anything about those, nor did i think of them. Perhaps the OP is a forum troll...on other forums there are quite a few of them on other sites. Internet Troll / Forum Troll "Netiquette Guidelines" What is an Internet Troll/ Forum troll? An "Internet troll" or "Forum Troll" or "Message Board Troll" is a person who posts outrageous message to bait people to answer. Forum Troll delights in sowing discord on the forums. A troll is someone who inspires flaming rhetoric, someone who is purposely provoking and pulling people into flaming discussion. Flaming discussions usually end with name calling and a flame war.

My dr. said that he will not sedate anyone if they are the once bit sick. It is too much of a risk and liability to do that. If you have congestion of any sort, it will get a lot worse and it is not worth it. Good luck!

apparently people on here are rude at times, as i saw from reply's to my post. My dr. told me to reduce the amount of fiber, because it is more apt. to get stuck...for instance....asperigus (spelling sorry) or things like that. So before you jump down someone's throat, perhaps you should ask more questions. I WAS TOLD NO>....i never said NEVER...i said my dr. said no. If you are going to cop an attitude, please do it else where, as some people here are honestly here to learn, and not from the know it alls.

i believe you can talk to your dr. about it...i do know that some insurences take it into consideration.

I AM IN!!! I am starting tommorow...i will do this...i am determined

Oh that website is WONDERFUL!!! I will try it again tommorow...i am determined to run, when i lasted the whole pathetic 1 minute...it felt good...to move. I told the hubby and he laughed at me "only a minute?" hey....he couldn't do 30 seconds! So that shut him up!!! (whatever i am doing it for me anyway) I just hate how he creates competition with me. ANYway...thank you!

i believe if you search for this topic in the search button you will find a ton of information on it!

swelling is normal after a fill, that is why my dr. said do 2 days of liquid only, 2 day mushies, and then solids again

That is great! when i went in for my first fill last week to my surprise, he only filled me with 1 cc..i was shocked...then after i stood up he said that i already had 4 cc in there!!! So now i have 5 cc...and still no restriction...

They had a thing on the news that dr's are prescribing it and insurences are paying for it because it helps with rehab and it does help people loose weight too...and since obesity is a disease they can prescribe it

hello! I have also heard you can get your dr. to prescribe it, so you can get the wii for free!!!

the hardest thing is that i was just banded in october...i just don't understand....i am at a loss....i asked him last night before bed what the deal was and he said he doesn't have one. I continued to push and push and he said that i have changed and i am always angry at him. (DUH) SO...we talked about it. I hate how he is using excuses and then saying it isn't an excuse....i truely was not born yesterday.

He is pushing me away! I find that i just don't want to do anything with him, i find that i am irritated more than ever all the time and i seem to always start fights. I would like to loose the weight, and he says he does too...(as he is shoving a donut down his throat, and telling me he can't have coffee because there is sugar in it...)

ChILDISH..that is it exactly...that is exactly how he acts around me...never elsewhere though...That is very interesting because that is him exactly
