Hey Sweet Spot, I have been reading your blogs and I love them, They always make me smile!! I was wondering how you were doing with your lapband? Have you had any Problems? I had mine done in April and everything was going so well till my last fill, when i went in i told the Dr. I needed it tightned cause i could eat alot more then i had been able to,so she put a little over 2cc in,the first time i had a fill it was only 1 cc, any way I now have a problem eating chicken, and today i had a bad experience with a hard boiled egg!!!!I go back to the doctor next week and we will see what they say, but I was just wondering how you were doing.

I was just wondering if anyone knows how long we have to wait after surgery to be able to return to the gym to exercise? I was banded 8 days ago and everything is going great and I don't return to my Dr. till next week. I figured I would ask him then but it seems like such a long wait and besides walking I was wondering what else I might be able to do?any suggestions or ideas?

I to have pain under my rib cage but that is where i have an incision. I actually i have 5 incisions. i know the doc fixed my hyedial hernia.I also have pain in the back of my neck and shoulders.hope you feel better soon. I started with the gas-x shortly after i got home,and that was yesterday. but other than that i feel pretty darn good!

Does anyone have any suggestions on a good protein shake mix for the "liquids only days" after surgery? :smile2:

I was told my headache was due to carb and caffiene and sugar withdrawl!! I have had a headache now for 2 weeks and tylenol does not phase it!! So I do sympathize with you!I go tuesday for my surgery

When did you get banded? Have you had any problems? Dr. Spaw will be doing my band at Baptist. I understand he is really good. Any suggestions you can give me, Tuesday is my big day!

:smile:I would love to join Bunny Bandsters. I am having a little trouble trying to navigate on here but with continued determination to find the right way i just might suceed!!! So please let me know how to sign up. I am to be banded April 7th. So its count down time!!!!!

Is there anyone from nashville,tn on here?????

oh I do know what you mean!! My mother in-law is having afit!!!! she says i look great but i don't feel great and i know i have to do this for myself. My husband is my greatest supporter, he's even going on a diet too! But without his major support i would really be teetering on wheather to continue on. I have my band put on next tuesday the 7th and i am excited!!! i really never thought of not telling anyone cause I was proud of the fact that i have made up my mind to do something about it. Hopefully i will be leaving behind several meds i am on now! But good luck. Susan

Hi There, I am going to a newbee a seek from today!!! Excited and a little nervous! Wasn't to nervous until i started reading some of these blogs and stories!!! But i always believe positively and that I go into this with my eyes wide open.I am on my solid liquid diet(pre-op) and so far it hasn't bothered me too much. I did start my diet early cause i know i needed to adjust my body and boy i am glad i did. I had some of the awfulest headaches from carb withdrawal and sweets you can imagine!!!! i am very excited cause the people that i know that have had this done have had such great results and i only hope i can too! any suggestions on the post op liquids? do we still do our protiene shakes during the fluids only time? I am in Nashville,Tn and my doctor is Dr. Albert Spaw. he seems to be a fantastic dr!!
