Nov 10th 2008 Bandsters
pebbles1970 replied to mljalways's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had my surgery on 11-11-08, I have lost 30 pounds. I have had 3 fills for a total of 4cc's in my 10cc band. I am starting to get a little frustrated by my own food choices. Best of luck to you. -
My doc has you do 24 hours liquid, than back to normal.

Need to Poop - constipation

MIRALAX works like a charm. Add it to something hot, and you'll never know you had it...till you go to the bathroom of course -
Any problems with cpap machines
pebbles1970 replied to Banditto's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm going to my Dr tomorrow, and am going to ask him again why he is against using the cpap. It scares me how all doctors seem to have different thoughts on this. Who is right? I wish I could still use mine, I'd grown attached to it NOT! -

Like I said, every Dr is different. You would think all things would be the same. Look at all the different diets the dr's have people doing. It seems no 2 are alike. -

Check with your Dr. I was banded on 11-11-08, and was told NOT to use it because it fills your stomach up with air. Good luck! -

I Got My Surgery Date...Where Are The November Bandsters?
pebbles1970 replied to Cappy's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was banded on 11-11, and have been taking immodium every other day. It is driving me nuts. Tomorrow, I get to have soft foods, hopefully it will stop.:thumbup: -
I live in Sunny South Florida, and was banded on 11-11-08. I am also sleeping with socks and extra blankets. Not sure why. I see you are still using your cpap machine. I was told by my Dr DO NOT use the cpap after surgery anymore because it fills the stomach up with gas. Just curious what your doc told you. They are all different. Good luck to you.

Need Help-PCP says 30's are too young for WLS

Sounds like his pcp needs mental help. I agree with everyone else, find a new doc. -

I am 2 days out also, and not hungry at all. Matter of fact I have such a full feeling I'm having a hard time putting liquids in my mouth. I did drink 50 ounces of Water throughout the day today. I don't want to get dehydrated. I don't like feeling this full. :thumbdown: -
I am a huge gulper too. I had my surgery on Tuesday 11-11-08. Today I was able to sip my way through 50 ounces of water. It took all day, and I'm so full. HA! Who would have thought I would be soooooo stuffed from water. I love it!

Congrats! I was banded on Tuesday 11-11-08. I feel pretty good, but so full. I feel like I'm going to explode. I'm assuming this is normal. I've had 1 protein shake-100calories, and 50 oz of water. I am trying to have some broth with a laxative in it but having a hard time. Best of luck to you and everyone else.

Lap Band and Bi-Polar

I don't see why being bipolar would have any effect on getting a lap-band. -

Hello from Jupiter Florida
pebbles1970 replied to Florida Pete's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
I do not have any co-morbitities, and I already spoke to my insurance company. They are firm about not covering any wls. Dr Vaughan's office quoted me approx $17,000. -

Hello from Jupiter Florida
pebbles1970 replied to Florida Pete's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
I checked into Dr Rittersbach at Martin Memorial, but he has only performed 2 surgeries. I know 2 people who had Dr Larson from J.F.K do theirs. Other than that, I have been on this website trying to learn as much as I can. My insurance will not cover the procedure so I will be a self pay. -
