    Slimming & PB's

    warriors_journey posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    :smile: Tell me the truth....how bad is it with the "stuck?" Pain, pressure of just uncomfortable? Are there any remedies other then a PB? (I think I read pineapple juice somewhere) And what the heck does slimming mean? I don't like the sound of that.......

    Congrats to you both, jennykay and Junibug. I will be banded on Monday as well. I've had a hell of a time on the pre-op diet and pray post-op diet will be easier. See you guys on the other side!!!

    You know what I'm NOT going to miss?!

    warriors_journey replied to iJenny's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums

    OMG....light bulb moment!!! I thought the main reason for being hot all the time was that I was peri-menopausal!! I knew some from weight but......wow.....

    What softener did you find that works best, so I can add that to my pre-op shopping list? For immediate relief, suppository or enema (fleet, can be found from walmart, cvs, walgreens, grocery stores...basically anywhere execpt toys-r-us). I've used benefiber but it wasn't immediate for me but it did help so after using it everyday. You want to add the activa yogurt to you diet for long term. Hope u get some relief soon.

    Well damn! That was one of the things I was so looking forward too was having my legs back!! When I was thin (but didn't know I was thin-psych issue) I did not have any dips, dimples, cellulite just smooth toned long legs & a tad bit on my backside, but now..... I know it's super super vain but I pray I get them back. Somebody give me some hope, did anybody not have it b/f and it went away after...plz plz (fingers crossed)?!?!?

    I just cried....

    warriors_journey replied to ToLoveMyself's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    I'm sorry, that does suck!! How long have u been doing the supervised diet? Have you considered another surgeon or called to ask if someone else has the same requirement? You will loose some on ur pre-op diet.....

    I just cried....

    warriors_journey replied to ToLoveMyself's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    Is this the person conducting your mandatory physician supervised diet? Was this person selected or a part of ur surgeons team?

    I'm on the 28th in Houston!! Who's ur doc?
  22. warriors_journey
    Have mercy what an ordeal!!! I'm not banded yet.....but already scared of what "stuck" may really feel like - I have some issues not b/c of a hernia but I bet it's nothing like a true banded "stuck!" As thinks stand right now - I'm still willing to go forward w/& take my chances w/stuck instead of fat.

    hiatal hernia

    warriors_journey replied to karmaandkismet's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    My word!!! I have fibro and already have shoulder pain!!! The hernia pain is worse after the EGD (upper GI deal). Is it possible that the EGD agitated the hernia and I'm having "pain displacement/transference" now? My head is spinning - oh Lord.
