Yasmina

I quess I have been just lucky, but they have so far always got back to me the same day or the next morning. Nancy and Jill have been great ! :smile2:

It was pretty good ! I must admit I really liked some of the soup recipies on that site... pumpkin sausage soupwas really good... I did make it light... skipped the sour cream and the cream, used milk instead. I had a fill three weeks ago and it is so weird, sometimes I have trouble drinking water wihil other times I am fine to eat food... I am going to Toronto on Thursday and talk to them about a possible 1/4 cc defill...

I travel back anf forth from Thunder bay for fills and boy do I wish I had the DVD! There was a Dr that did have one but he will not do it. I had a fill about 2 weeks ago, everything was go until I came back and boom too tight. Horrible could barely drink water. Now that I changed my plane ticket and I am going to Toronto, Things seem better. I was able to eat a little last night. I will ask for a dvd when I am there on Thursday...Nancy fron TLBC gave me some good advice

I had a fill - 1/2 cc and everything was good for a few days and as soon as I was back in my own city bang ! could not eat solid foos and only small amounts of liquid. I had to be so careful. So I changed my ticket to go to N>S so I could stop in Toronto for a small defill . Well last noght I was able to eat a small dinner !!! So weird, Hope ypu are feeling better soon, I know when I get stresed by band is sooo tight, I can only do liquids

I felt it was only my business, no one at work knows and only 2 close friends

Had a fill in Toronto On Thursday all was well untul saturday when I could not even drink water.. It was awful, I was flying back on Sunday so was relieved when I was able to drink a little... I went to a down town hospital but they did not want to touch me !!! I later found out that I should have gone to Scarbourgh Grace,, oh well I hope I never have to do that again.

I was slow too, or should I say I am slow to lose. I was told to eat my protein first, vegies next and last carbs... I can't eat any bread , wraps or very little pasta... here is the kicker, I can eat a cookie !!!!!:smile2:

I have to fly to Toronto to get fills so I sure hope that it keeps going good. I really don't want to have to fly back.

I was in Toronto to get a fill on Thursday. Everything went well, but on Saturday I started not being able to eat yogurt, then it became juice and water. A little tea was ok. On Sunday morning things were the same so I called the clinic knowing it was closed, but hoped there was instructions if you need help.Nothing. Sooo I went to a hospital down town Toronto, I think it was Mount...... ( something , Well they would not touch me because of the band and said that I should wait until Monday... I was flying bacl on Sunday night...... As things go, It settled down so I left Toronto. What should I have done ? I am a little concerned, what if it flares up... what caused it ? Pretty scary not feeling that you can swallow water ! :biggrin:

Me too ! Considering I was from out of town, I expected something ! Well now that I am back at home things are better. I am able to eat thick soup, protein shake and crackers. I am so taking it slow. I will ask the clinic what I should do if that ever happens again. :biggrin:

CONGRATS !!! I had just hit that myself, such a wonderful feeling . Keep going , you are going strong !!!

I SO WOULD LOVE TO BE ABLE TO ATTEND ALL THE BOOT CAMPE AND SUPPORT GROUPS ! I WILL BE THERE NEXT WED !!!!! OPS caps lock was on... heheheh

It is going pretty good, I find if I write down what I eat, I am much better and try not to snack on food that goes down easy. Those protein drinks with a banana work great for me as I can't eat a banana any othey way. They are filling ! I so need to hit the gym more !!!

See another doctor, Look into everything. I have the lap band , my friend the gastric by pass, both of us are happy with our decision. She has lost more weight then I have ,but I will lose the rest of the weight. Don't give up !

When it happened to me I was about 5 months after surgery ! I has not happened since.

My port has flipped and was told that it can be fixed and relocated once I have lost all my weight. Where would they put it ? ( I really don't mind where it is but it does stick out . ) Is it doen the same way as when you have the surgery ? If I want a tt should I do it first or can I have it both done at the same time ? Does this mean that I should have a tt at the TLBC ? I do have a fill apt in two weeks there. thanks for any advice ! :tongue2:

I do know that in was not stitched in place. I quess whene I am in Toronto in two weeks I will have to ask them. Thanks

I was the same way with the gas, gas x was my best friend for about 5 days. Walking helped too ! Hang in there, it will get better each day !

My friends's Dr told her the same thing that the by pass is less dangerious then the band. :cool: I gave her this site to go on.

It was about 4 nights before I was back to sleeping good. The 2 & 3 were the worst for me. The shoulder pain killed me. I was tender to move around for about a week or so. I had my surgery on a fFriday and went back to work on Monday. I have a desk job :cool: Rest & take some time to heal, it will be much better soon

I love that site, there is lots of good stuff !

Hey Green, how are you doing ? Been think about you !:cool:

Please go see your doctor ASAP ! keep us posted:thumbs_up:

Well I know for be that I belly dance 5 times a week so I do think that I was using my stomach muscles too much. Fills are still good.

I got a phone call to my hotel, bit that is it. My port has flipped but fills are ok. It does stick out ? How do they fix it ? are you awake for it ?:cool:
