Lapband causing Teeth and Gum problems?
TrishC replied to kookaburra's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Hi There I have had really bad relux prior to Christmas, and was vomitign way too much...this has given me pretty bad teeth.... I am constantly brushing them but they arent too great...Need alot of work Prior to Christmas my reflux was that bad that I was vomiting constantly and ended up wuite dehydrated... I ended up in hospital getting all of my fill taken out and have had to start from the begining again All I can say is make sure your looking after your teeth and if you have any sort of reflux consult your doctor about it, I wouldnt wish what I went through to my worst enemy. At the moment all is great though and the weight is starting to come back off Big Hi Fives to everyone Trish xx -

Hi everyone Its been ages since Ive been on here, hope everyone is doing well....sorry I missed the lunch, did it end up happening? I guess a little updat on whats been happening with me.... Ummm I know we all love a good story :cursing: but...... A few weeks before Christmas my band started to feel so tight (Dr says something just triggered it off) and I had reflux like you wouldnt believe.....Anyways I was feeling crap so the doctor took out 1.5ml out of my band on the Thursday, I was feelign great will the friday night and then it all started.....I was vomiting every other minute, Saturday it got so bad that we called emergency number for Dr Anderson, who in turn told me to meet him at hospital URGENTLY, He took ALL my saline out of my band leaving me empty (OMG what a feeling that is, when it comes out) I had to go almost 3 weeks with no fill :thumbup: Needless to say the weight starting coming on.....I was naughty Anyway so a couple of weeks ago I got 5ml put back into my band, still no restriction.... I got down to 110kg (I was 147kg) though the Doc said not to pay any attention to it cause I was so dehydrated.... well today I weigh 117kg and Im so upset about it , I feel I have let my self down so badly.....But you know I have an appointment tomorrow, so its back to the old Trish Gym junkie again.... Im gonna bet this Enough of all my babble, I promise to come on here more often and check on everyone else. Its so nice to have people going through the same things that you can complain to :cursing: Big Hi Fives to everyone MWAH Trish x

Hey Tarob, The other doctor (Dr Yaega) is lovely too, he works with my hubby, this is how I found out about Dr Anderson. I have never had any problems with all the people that work there....Your in great hands thats for sure :tongue2: Bet your getting exciting about your op!!! Im done 28 almost 29kg now :wub: its getting so exciting now :eek: Cheers Trish

I have told evryone that asks how i lost weight that Ive had a little help in the lap band, but at the end of the day I havent lost 28kg overnight, its taken a lot of hard work.....I still have a good 60kg to lose and Id be damned if I couldve done it without the lap band........ I dont think a lap band is cheating at all, we have been given an opportunity to help us get us on our way. What would be cheating is not taking that opportunity!! I hope everyone is doing well!! Cheers Trish Big Hi Fives to Everyone MWAH!!!

Hey Tarob Have you met Dr Sabine yet???? I love him he is wonderful, I was so scared to have my op until I met him. He made me feel comfortable....so now I make sure I book all my appointments with him. Off to see him tomorrow :thumbup:

I stopped losing weight for some time but I am finally almost at my sweet spot where the kilos are dropping off. Its so exciting to be seeing it come off...... I have a hard time sometimes staying away from the wrong foods but Im getting there. Just think the better you eat the quicker youll see results. Ive lost to date 27kg and Im so excited that Im pumped to lose more :thumbup: You can do it, I know you can, In fact we can all do keep us posted on how your going Cheers Trish :sneaky:

HI everyone I had my surgery on May 14th 09 and have lost a total of 23kg since the end of March, though weight lose has really slowed down, but the cm's are coming off, which is a little more exciting at the moment For the last couple of weeks, I have had rapid hair loss, Is this normal?? I have quite healthy hair but its coming out at an alarming rate....getting a bit worried. Anybody got any good ideas to help this????? Hope everyone is doing well.....big hi fives for all of us Trish

I seen my surgeon on Thursday, he suggested I am lacking in Zinc he suggests that I take zinc tablets twice a day for a month on top of my multi vitains I guess Im lucky I have very fine hair but a lot of it, So far its all OK Thanks to everyone for your help Trish x

Hi everyone Just popping in to say I got my second fill yesterday 2ml, at the moment still dont feel any changes, have to go back in two weeks for another fill, Doctor told me I have quite a large band so Im not even sure how many mls it will take. 7ml so far I hope the restriction kicks in soon

I went through Dr Anderson at Ashford he charges only $2600 as a facitlity fee, no other charges for appointments etc I paid $50 excess on my medical insurance for the hospital stay.... I would recomment Dr Anderson and all his assistant surgeons, I thin they are wonderful and always willing to answer any questions you may have :thumbup:
