Are Gas X Strips Safe After Banding
vonhelzing replied to Joy1961's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
If those don't work, look for a gas relief called Phazime. It comes in a pink or purple box. The strips didn't work for me but the Phazime was wonderful. Worked in one dose. -
i've also had "gallbladder attacks" years after it was removed.

Insurance And Reconstrutive Surgery
vonhelzing replied to jennifer1's topic in Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery
i have blue cross and they paid for a breast lift but it had to include a reduction which was fine with me. -

i'm almost 4 years out and i have a can of dr pepper every morning. they don't want you drinking the pop because it is empty calories.

So Excited! Tt Four Years After Lapband!
vonhelzing replied to blackcherry2002's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
the thing that hurt the most after my tt was the stomach muscles that were tightened. make sure you use a pillow to get up and keep on your compression garment. that really helps. -

Mt. Sinai Chicago,il Any Info Helps
vonhelzing replied to plopitmommy's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I didn't go through Mt Sinai but I did go to Day One Health which is also downtown. 900 N Michigan Av. Why are you going for eight weeks? Is it like a class? I went to one seminar and then made the appointment to meet the surgeon. -
