Any Happy Bandsters Out There With 5 or More Years Of Banding?
-
ok.. I got my degree from Univ of North Texas... I always thought I wanted to be a band director.. because of my jr high band director... secondary was also my only choice as a wind player.... so when I did my student teaching, I realized that I was not comfortable on the podium AT ALL.... I wish I had more training in the elementary music pedogogies, etc... I would have loved to have gone in to elementary music. I spent some time teaching privately, working w/some wind sections w/some local high schools and also played in some community bands and orchestras... problem is that I am in south Florida and most of the community groups rehearse during the weekday.. when I can not be there... let's chat more, I'd love to connect w/a fellow musician and flutist... I am on yahoo messenger at bbwfluter or you can email me at untfluter@comcast.net Look forward to hearing from you.

I have a music ed degree. Was a band director 1981-83, didn't love it enough and went on to be a floral designer, which I still am today. I'm still playing my flute. I play with several different groups. Do you still play?

Do you mean that you get full quickly? -
Raw oysters anyone?
Petalpusher replied to Petalpusher's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Thanks, everyone! I do chew them, but I do understand some people thinking it's gross. This is a very reputable restaurant and they offer oysters from four different sources...none from the Gulf this time of year. I think I will try them, but yes, pb-ing an oyster would be pretty gross!! -
I am going to a nice seafood restaurant Friday and am craving raw oysters. Has anyone tried them since being banded?
-
Anybody else feel this way?

I had thrush and had to do the swish and swallow meds (which is gross!), but thank goodness, I never got a yeast infection. -
Please I need all the support I can get.

Hi all, I* had Dr. Hitchcock and he is wonderful! My surgery was in dec. and I've lost 45 lbs. Do what he says, follow the diet prescribed and you will do fine! Good luck! -
Am I just sick or has my band slipped?

QUOTE:SO...all I can say is odds are hydration plays a big role. I'm sure you'll find people it doesn't help, and I'm sure you'll find some who say that's BS, but I say try it; it can't hurt you. If it helps...who cares? Cool Beans! -

I have never heard that. Does this mean that if you stay well hydrated, you are able to eat on a more even keel, rather than the amounts varying so greatly from one day to the next? -
Anyone ever heard of a band "exploding"

DITTO!!:eek::smile2: -
I asked my doctor about this, and he says it mostly affects the newly banded people. He says there could possibly be an air bubble in the band before you have several fills and the altitude could make the air expand, therefore tightening the band. It also affects you in high altitudes, such as Colorado.

The feeling will go away. Before I went home from surgery, I had a panic attack..".OMG, what have I done? But it went away and I haven't had a single regret since then. Hang in there...it just takes time!
