No Restriction At All!
fire_bellydancer replied to fire_bellydancer's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
The reason why I think my surgeon was so conservative with the fills is because I am a self-pay. Once I start using my insurance, he will not get the $150 that I was paying. He will definitely get much less. So, I was thinking that as long as I was self-pay, he didn't have a reason to fill me up. I'm sure my fills will change once I start using my insurance. It's a business... -

Well, I always heard how you are not supposed to eat bread and certain foods because they have a tendency to get stuck. For example, I just ate a burger with the bun cheese, lettuce and tomatoes and didn't have anything to drink..I was able to eat the whole thing....Let's see when I get hungry again...Thanks.. I plan on getting a fill and asking the surgeon to not be too conservative. -

I do regret getting the lap band. I wish I would have done either the sleeve or the bypass...If there is an issue with the band, I plan on getting it removed and paying for the sleeve. But I will give the band a try until the end of the year if there are no issues with it. -

I plan on making an appointment next week for as soon as possible. I feel frustrated because I hear all these people with their issues of vomiting, heartburn, cannot eat this or that, too full, etc and I have nothing. I know that it is a tool but I feel like I went thru surgery TWICE for nothing. I am also hoping that the surgeon will order a fill thru fluoro so that we can make sure that the band is where it should be. -
Anyone from Jacksonville???
fire_bellydancer replied to kimkimmie's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I live in Jacksonville currently and was banded on the 30th of December. Dr. Deperi was my surgeon and he is great. I am on day post-op day four which means I just started my full liquid diet. Let me know if you could use the support, I know I could...
