  1. Happy 48th Birthday trish1!

  2. Happy 47th Birthday trish1!

  3. n I think I would have lost more weight if I would not have been so focused on an object in my body but so very,very,very thankful it's out but I do know it has help others:)

  4. To answer one of your questions about has anybody regret the lap band, yes I did but my situation was different I guess. I could not handle the object in my body n it caused me very bad panic attacks. My Dr said this only happens to a certain % n I happen to be n that %. So I put up with it for ten months on anxiety med n I lost about 30 lbs n I could not take it anymore n so I had it taking out.

  5. Just curious out there. I had my lap band in July 2010. Well as soon as I had it put in I felt this strong anxiety of I need this object out of my body. Well I did not tell no one except for when I got on here for support n the people on here told me to just relax n get used to it, chill out. Well I tried so about 2 weeks later i had a major panic attack n I had to tell my husband n the reason I din't wanna tell him is because I had wanted it for years people, years. So to make a long story short, my Dr Ross whom is just wonderful person put me on Anxiety med and it did it's job for so long and fast forward to ten months later April 2011, went in and talked with him n he said he thinks I tried my best and that he will now take it out. Thank God ,Thank God. Dr Ross said there is a very few select few that cannot handle objects in there body and I'm just in that %. I know it's affective because Ive heard to many of yall being sussecefull with it. I lost about 25/30 lbs but for me it was the ten worst months of my life beside my mother passing. I was just wondering if this has happened to any one else out there. So I've had it out for 5 day's now and I could not be happier. Not sure what my direction of becoming a healthier person is but I surely no it can be done. Glad the lap band has worked for so many but so thankful I got to get mine out:)))

    P.S. Apple 4 teacher, No I din't have to be on a liquid diet. I was told to just start eating slow, so the first day I ate very lil , like some soup and he told my acid reflux woud come back gradully but as of yet it has not but if he said it would I'm sure it will evently but I'm trying still so, I no it's possible but I do know it just harder not to have the help:) but I just could not have an object in my body. It was the worst ten months n I feel 100% better. I just feel as if I can breath n no more clostphobic n no more anxiety med. whoo hooo. So thankful:))

    Yes, that's what Dr Ross told me to give it time n they put me on anxiety med n I have to say for a lil while it would work but I could be in a movie or sitting in a car and all of a sudden it would hit, like omg I have to have this out asap, so I would take my med but the med kept getting higher n I was losing very slow. I lost about 30 ponds in ten months but it wasnt about me becoming healthy anymore it was I was not healthy because of all my panic attacks I was having but that's the only problem I had with it. When I over ate the band would do it's job n it would come back up but never bothered me because it kind of taught me when to stop so I would not spit it back up but yea I did do that a few times but it really taught me to stop. So I believe the Dr's are right that your bodies have to get used to it and some times they do and you learn how to eat and what to eat n lol also not to eat. So after ten months my Dr said he feels I gave it my best shot n like I said my problem was different from others, it was almost clostiphobia for me n I HAD to get it out, even if I had to go to mexico I was getting it out but thankful I din't have to do that and when Dr Ross said ok let's do it this past monday, I just started crying so hard, I could not believe it n the last thing I said on the operating table was I Love you Dr Ross. lol, but I am truely greatful he just knew Id gving my all and it was time to take it out. So please try first n learn from the warning signs. It's teaching us ok it's time to either slowwwwwwww down or to stop. lol, I hope I have helped a lil but it's helped so many so if it's not the object in your body I would say try n try again until you learn it and the decide from there but it's just a thought but I do know if they would have taking it out that day I had it put in, I sooooo would have had it taking out but I guess they just want us to try first since it is a serious operation but I'm feeling great n I have my reject on wed. So prayers going out for yall n I sure need em also. thanks so much. Need any more questions, I'll be happy to help the best I can because I have to say I had learned to slow down n eat and to stop.lol Thanks again Trish:)

    Thank you Jake, for the info. Wow, Yes I would have really freaked out if that would have happened to me, glad your were able to get through it and it's working for you n yes My husband n my Dr were just God sent. So thankful for the both of them. I go back in to get my wounds checked and see how all is healing up but I really, really feel great. Your right though as far as taking what I did learn n I'm praying I can do just that and learn from the time that I did have it in. It's kind of funny but when I'm eating now. I still want drink my water with my food n I'm still eating smaller amounts of food. So not sure if that's gonna go away or not and I'm also eating slowly, counting in my mind as I'm chewing. lol, It's funny how that is staying with me and I really hope it stays with me. I have lost a couple of pounds now n I honestly thinks it's because I din't have the stress/anxiety with it no more. Thankful for people who try n understand n that I hear there stories helps me also. How long have you had yours in now. Ive had a few of my freind had the gastric bypass n they are doing wonderful n my brother has had it done about 2 yrs now n has lost about 55 but you know not a steady of eating always the right way. Thanks for sharing and anybody else stories would be helpful. I need all the help now that I have no band. Thank you again. Trish:)

  11. Well, I banded on July 19, it I did fine with no pain but when I got home I did start having trouble with having an objet in my boyd n I finally told my husband that I wanted it out asap. lol So my hubbie called the Lapband Dr who I might say is just the Best but he told us to call our reg Dr to get on anxiety med for it n that has helped alot. So I'm still thinking I want it out but not right now. lol I want to lose some weigh before I do something like that n as long as I can handling it then thats what I'm gonna do:) I started out weighing 256 n I'm now 238, so I'm excited about losing weight but I am now eating some solid foods, things like fish,fish, lol chicken n turkey sausage for breakfast, so I'm trying to make sure I get in my protein more than anything. Thanks everyone for sharing the lapband jouney, I no it has helped me seeing it on here.So goodluck n Godbless n keep up the good work oh n I have walked a couple of days but starting monday, I'm gonna try n do at least 3 times a week. Thanks again everyone n I'm also on facebook if any of you would like to connect. Thanks again Trisha
  12. Thanks Tiffany, The nurse practioner had me come into the office today to try n calm me down n she did. They got my Dr to call in some anxiety med n that has helped but I'm still wanting it out n If I could I would have it out now. She said that medicaid want pay for it unless there is a good reason n I think me flipping out is a good enough reason. lol, It might be phsycological but it's very real to me, so they told me to wait until monday n see how I feel n I told them if I got to go bankrupt I will get this out of me, I just feel awful because Ive wanted this for 8 yrs n I'm afraid I'm putting our family in finacial hardship if medicaid does not pay for it, so I'm just gonna give it some time n be thinking of ways I can get this out without it costing so much. Thanks so much for talking with me, it's helped to no I"m not the only one out here like this not wanting an object in my body:)
