Advice re Gastric Balloon vs. LapBand Surgery
vita428 replied to rosedagal's topic in Gastric Balloon Forum
I had lap band. It slipped and could not go back into place. It eroded and I had to have revision too much scarring. In 2009 I was so scared and elected band. I've not had one complication after bypass and am kicking myself that I didn't do that surgery first. I was miserable w band. Never was restricted if I was too tight I would regurgitate in sleep. Sorry just my story. I went in so often to take fluid in and out regardless of what you do make sure you choose surgeon near by. Sent from my XT1254 using BariatricPal mobile app -
I couldn't get iud in due to cervical scarring. He originally said no BC pills but BC nexplanon making me bleed non stop he said to go on higher dose BC pill Sent from my XT1254 using BariatricPal mobile app

I have had period for about six months with only two to three days in between seven to twelve day periods. Calling Tom. My bariatrics surgeon said to go on higher estrogen BC pills. What are others on? Having nexplanon removed can't take this anymore Sent from my XT1254 using BariatricPal mobile app

vita428 replied to Treadmillwalker's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
That's awesome and encouraging! When did it start growing back I'm eight months post oP and hair looks stringy and scalp is out:( Sent from my XT1254 using the BariatricPal App -
I had surgery April 19, a lot of hair has fallen out. I take Biotin and use Nioxin shampoo, conditioner and leave in. It seemed to have slowed but you can see my scalp and my once long hair just looks stringy:( I'm afraid to cut but when I go on 23rd I will. Anyone have any pics to share of their new do's? My Dr said I'm doing everything right but hair loss inevitable Sent from my XT1254 using the BariatricPal App

endoscopy this friday
vita428 replied to thenewme2016's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Wow...Did not know that they performed endoscopy without sedation. I was sedated for mine and no issues after I woke up. It was also a pretty quick procedure.
