Hello everyone I have been sleeved May 1 and have been doing great no pain meds needed, staying active....woke up in the middle of the night with a scratchy feeling in my throat, feeling like I need to caugh but when I did my whole mouth was filled with bitter saliva. I coughed once or twice and drank a bunch of water. (like a cup of it) No pain, the water went down without any problems, the only symptom is feeling like I'm congested (a little wheezing and rattling in my chest) and great bitterness in the back of my throat. Every time I caugh the saliva that comes up is clear and very bitter. Any thoughts or suggestions

Dr Terry Scarborough In Houston For My Gastric Sleeve Surgery
xelapaul posted a topic in Weight Loss Surgeons & Hospitals
Hello, I'm so glad I found this site ... I have a band which I would like to be revised to VSG has any one have this done by Dr Scarborough in Houston TX and what is ur opinion of this dr... Dr Spivak did my band Thank you for any info -
Hello everyone I have been banded by Dr. Spivak a little over a year ago but have lost only about 25lb (I was at about 40bmi). My question to the forum is: has anyone have had a endoscopy (upper gi) with the band??? I told my docter that it has been tightened (about2cc) and he said that its not a problem and that he has done hundreds of pts with the band and that i do not need to loosten it before hand. I'm kinds of conserned since my band is extreemly tempermental and I don't want to p**s it off any more. The reason for the gi is because I have Crohn's dz and this little band has put me pritty much in remesion:) but i have had some issues since my last gi visit (3yrs ago) and he wants to check me from one end to the other:rolleyes: So what does everyone think????

Hi everyone I have just come back from a LBT cruise (well about a monthe ago;)) and it was so great that I disided to give a gift of a transatlantic cruise for my dad's birthday. Unfortunatly my mom can't go (its a 14 day cruise and she has a bussines and can't leave it for that long:cry). This is such a wonderfull opertunity that I hate to just throw in the towl. If anyone (male or female) would be interested in sharing a cabin with an older GENTELMAN who is very clean/non smoker/very respectfull of ones space and privacy/ and has a GREAT sence of humor, please let me know. The cruise is out of Galvaston TX it is RCI's Voyager of the Seas. It is a 14 day cruise with stops in Portugal and Spain and you have to disimbark in Spain and fly home. The prices for the voyage (no airfaire) starts at $800+p/t (for inside cabin). If anyone is interested please pm me. This is a great oppertunity to go on a luxery cruise without paying an arm and a leg if you do not mind sharing a cabin which is really there only to sleep in:notagree Alexandra

Lipo and Breasts Warning: Graphic images
xelapaul replied to princess_n_thep's topic in Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery
Hey girl! WooHoo you look like a hot mama!!!!!! The surgeon did a great job besides the bruises one can't tell that you had lipo and your skin is gorgeous! Have not heard from Windy but seen Karla and her boy at Splashtown, we had a blast. Looking forward to our next year cruise (spring, summer, fall does not matter) I think it is the Voyager that comes out of Galvaston. I can't wait and Paul is excited about not being the only "ruster in the hen house":rolleyes: I wish quick and painless recovery and as always you are in my thoughts and prayers Alex -
