It seems a lot of he said she said business going on here... I would probably get the facts straight first but of course, there are always shady characters in any business! -
Gross Question about PBing
acidic replied to adagray's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I know what your talking about! I was walking through the city and stupidly ate too fast without thinking, it got stuck real bad... all I could do was find a dark alley way behind some bins and basicially make that draw back noise like im about to spit and then work the slime from the back of my mouth and then spit it out... gawd i got some looks hehe -
Hello everyone, hope you are all getting on ok! Jacki - my hair is not falling out any more than usual... I have PCOS so I suffer from a male hair grown pattern (losing hair on my head but gaining it in unpleasant places like chest and face) due to the off balanced hormones. I do take Swisse Multivitamin for Women. It's a giant capsule but i snap it in half, and its fine - and i cant remember the exact price but i do remember thinking it was good value when I purchased it. It sucks that you have had 3 fills and still arent really feeling the effects of the band... but CONGRATS on the 18.5kg! I had my first fill last thursday and no difference, but i kind of expected that from what i have read. How do you find Dr Couch? does not say alot does he... do you know how much ml's in your band? he mentioned after the first few fills he would transfer me to another doc? has this happened to you as yet? Take care everyone x

hello... I am also from Australia and on my Europe trip discovered a UK shop called "Evans" who do very stylish shoes aswell as clothes and jewellery. www.evans.co.uk they are awesome :biggrin:

thats really good to hear! i hope so too... the fill was ok - nothing like a lot of american lap band patients seem to go through! it was quick and easy, a slight bit painful trying to find the port... i felt like i was doing pilates because he asked me to lay on my back, lift both legs and head off the bed! like a situp hehe anyway he found it, jabbed me and put in 2mls... i feel fine so far except for i got really hungrywhen i got home!! i cant explain it, but hopefully i be back to normal tomorrow

Heya Majj, hope everything is going good! I am going to my first fill tonight fingers crossed he has better luck at finding the port than I can!

Hello Majj, good to see you are recovering well :wink2: Yes, i know all about end of month issues, i also work in accounts hehe... take care!

Bio-Oil or other remedy for scars and stretch marks
acidic replied to Sandman's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I use Rosehip oil after a shower... i dont heal very quickly with cuts or bruises in general but im surprised how quickly these ones have faded. not only that but its taken away any irritation such as dry-ish skin around the scars... and feels nice when massaged in :wink2: cant hrut if you ask me, just use decent quality and make sure the scars arent still open -
Yes, I slept A LOT! I went from my bed, to the couch, to the toilet, to the couch, to the bed… did a lot of nothing for a week! And it took a good 5 or 6 days before I got any hunger back, at first I didn’t know if I was hungry or full! Sounds like you got out relatively unscathed! I tried not to weigh myself too much, once a week seems to be a good frequency… especially this close to being banded. I was so worried about gaining weight in the “bandster hell” period, so far I have managed to maintain the 15kg but still have until the 4th before my first fill. I hope everything goes good for recovery, let me know if you have any questions I may be able to help J Take care!
