First of all - I lost a total of (60 on, 63 off) 123 pounds - second, when you throw up for 3 years, the acid eats away the enamel to the back of your teeth, if you're throwing up on a daily basis, then you NEED to see your dentist - third, the ONLY food that I did not throw up was the cheetos, chocolate and the ice cream (I did not say I subsided on those only).......how did I figure that out? I didn't, I read the posts in this forum and others, that's how I found out these are the three foods you don't throw up.
You people need to READ some of the other posts in this forum - are you blind?!
Oh - and the reason I didn't reply right away??? Since I've had the lapband removed - I HAVE A LIFE -
There are 100s if not 1000s of posts, just in this forum ALONE, from people who are miserable and trying to figure out why, and trying to get help, for their vomiting, spastic stomachs, lack of sleep, port pain, bad reactions to the lidocane shots for the fills, bands that have slipped, bands that have deteriorated, bands that have failed, ports that are in the wrong place, ports that have leaked, ports that have traveled abcesses in their stomachs, bands that have worn through their stomachs - people who've been taking protien for their hair loss, and it doesn't work, people who have rashes, people who's social life is zero because of vomiting, people who carry 'vomit cans' around the house - and ad nauseum!!
Before you question my experience, drag me through the dirt, call me names - take a good look at whats going on - just in this forum - and if the lapband is SO "JOYFUL" (yeah, right) why are SO many people having them removed? Why are there SO many miserable people? The complaints outweigh the non complaints by over 100 to one - it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure it out folks.
We've been sold a 'bill of goods' - and we're swallowing it - and chewing, chewing, chewing and STILL throwing up.
There is no one so blind as they who will not 'see'
If just ONE person doesn't get a lapband, because of this post - thank you GOD!
