    Shaved?

    My stomache is pretty hairy and they did not shave it at all.

    Stress and anxiety medicine

    Make sure that you take in earlier in the day and that you drink enough Water to get it past the band. It is probably sitting in your pouch. I am on Zoloft also and had this happen 2 times before I figured it out. Good Luck Chuck

    How do you PB????

    Bend over in front of the toilet and burp and let what ever comes up come out. It seems to work for me. Good luck.
  7. Very Unlikely, but possible silicon poisoning. Your body might be absorbing the Band. Do a search on google. It would be the same from breast implants because I do believe they are made of the same material. Chuck

    Bile Reflux or Too tight of restriction???

    My Guess is that everything is irritated and a little swollen in your abdomen and caused you band to be a little tight for a while. Once the swelling went down it probably went away. Chuck

    SAG quick close fills

    This is essentially the realize band and it is filled with normal saline.
  10. Are you on Blood Pressure meds or a water pill?

    how long..

    I am over a month post op and still have not given in. I am not going to start again. If I where it would be atleast 4-6 weeks after everything is healed. Nicotine inhibits your healing ability.

    Any June Bandsters?

    I was banded on the 9th and am actually feeling pretty good. No gas pains, just alot of rumbling. I got the Realize Band. It is hard getting used to the liquid diet as I did not have a pre-op diet. Chuck

    Emotional

    This can be a side effect of the anesthesia. Not sure how long it can last, but I would definitely say that is the cause. Good Luck. Chuck

    Pre-op EKG question

    Well something is going wrong with your ticker. I don't think that it would prevent you from getting the band. It may delay it until you get your heart taken care of, whatever that may be. Your heart could be skipping a beat, have an extra beat, not squeezing enough blood or many things. I wish you the best. Keep us updated. Chuck
