    Dr. C- Can't do solids til after 5pm?

    Well when I was put back in the hospital 4 days after the band was put on they checked to make usre there was no liquid in the band and it was empty, I got two days of nexium and other items via IV to get me back on track. As I said I was doing well until Ireturned to work. Ithen got a promotion and that's when I really couldnt get stuff down just liquids. So you recommend an upper GI? Would that show there is swelling - what would I be looking for??? Thanks for your help, my PCP has no clue about the band and I would be guiding him. Thanks again!
  3. Dr. C, I had my band put on 6/16/06. Had complications from swelling had to be put back in hospital 4 days later. After that doing well until 7/24. Can't have solids until the evening. Asked the doc he said it is swelling and I need to do liquids for breakfast and lunch and very light dinner. He said I am not dealing well with stress and this happens . Is this true, will this go away with time or everytime I stress will I be back to liquids. I had real bad stress wed. and had liquids all day. It has been crazy. Please leet me know .
  4. Had mine done in Acuna- border with del rio , tx for 7000. 1 night hospital, 2 nights hotel, he emails or calls when I have questions, etc. he was good- dr. j. rodriguez website: joseband.com

    well for the past week lunch has been hell. I haven't been able to swallow but 2 spoonfuls, but dinner is fine. he says I have irritated my pouch with new stress ( I returned to work 6 weeks after suregery- summer break) and that i need to have liquids for brkfst and lunch for 2 weeks and a regular dinnner. I was so sad, but I chose this- no wonder we lose weight. He said I was looser in the evenigs and food goes down easier then. Pbing was the worst. I will get through this!

    Rosacea

    I also have rosacea and did you know it is hereditary?? My mom has it and well I do too. Stress is the number one reason it acts up. I use this face wash called Rosula and it is so awesome. My face feels like silk! i love it! I also use finacea and condran for bad cases and that makes everything feel great. I use loprox shampoo for my scalp and that makes the flakiness there go away! ask your dermatologist about these items, they are great! I used the metrogel and it made it worse- dried everything out something ugly!

    Does your sweat smell different?

    From the first day I was banded I noticed my sweat smelled...well different! At first I thought it was becuase of nothing but clear liquids for three weeks and now I am on mushies and it still smells weird. Not to get to personal, but my husband says I even taste different (don't get thinking dirty- when he was kissing my neck):kiss2: He also says I have a different ododr. I thought well is this like ketone breath- had that for a while then I have gotten over that but I went to sea world yesterday and I was shocked how different I smell. What could this be? Am I the only one? Please dont be shy! I really am interested! Thanks!:rolleyes

    I was on liquids for 18 days and yesterday introduced potatoes. I know it wasnt thebest choice, but warm-they feel so good going down. i also realized I cant have cold anything first thing in the morning, I get like a huge cramp. Very painful. I lost 34lbs, but got on the scale today and it said I gained 3 back so I bet the body is holding on to whatever it can get. I am so nervous about what wont settle well as pbing and vomitting hurt a ton!

    well it has been 2 weeks and 1 day since I got into this whole deal and I have lost 34lbs and am very weak but slowly doing more. I am still breastfeeding and trying to care for everyone including myself. I am -today- missing food. Last week I missed chewing so ice has been my friend! I start full liquids tomorrow as I had the complications and had to start over. I am so excited about yogurt, applesauce, etc. Today I must admit I did chew and spit some food as I missed the whole chewing business, but you know what- not really worth it and hard to not swallow! Oh well I hope you all are well.

    I am getting nervous as Friday is creeping up on me! I have a rash on my fac and my bottom is sore! I have been drinking the unury for a week everyday for breakfast with one piece of fruit and ice in the blender and it is pretty good. i also put it inmy jello and pudding, no flavor! I highly recommend it to you all! I just cant believe I am really doing this!

    Poodles did the ice help on the incision where the port is? Have you tried heat? which is better?
