Is my experience normal and what should I do?
losingjusme replied to Linda Hamsing Rosen's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
. absolutely 100% agree. i'm glad you spoke with your doctor. PB (or regurgitate, etc) is a learning curve... you will learn after a couple times your 'stop sign'... it shouldnt happen on a consistant basis - especially for a year or so. you're going to do great!!! -
I hate it when people post just to post.....

losingjusme replied to losingjusme's topic in Pregnancy with Weight Loss Surgery
ummm ... not much little about it ... im getting a baby belly. gaining and losing the same 3-4 pounds so not bad. i am SOOOO hungry lately (munching on apples right now). i have another OB appointment the 28th and we'll schedule my next ultrasound. im getting excited! morning sickness isnt that bad - pretty much gone away except when there is some sort of sudden movement or when DH and i are sitting on the couch and he's bouncing his leg ... grrrrrrr. -

:confused2::confused2::confused2::confused2::confused2: WHAT? i'm sorry ... regurgitating, PB'ing, throwing up, yacking, whatever is not fine. you will be in danger of losing your band due to a slip. a banded patient should be properly restricted - not too tight, not too loose. you should be able to have 3 meals a day - maybe liquids for Breakfast because a lot of people are tight in the morning, but lunch and dinner should be lean Protein (1/2 - 2/3 chicken breast maybe), small portion of veggies, and MAYBE if you have room a teaspoon or so of carbs. your diet should not be all liquids, that is in no way, shape or form healthy or balanced and you will not learn healthy eating habits that way. if you are vomitting, please consider a slight unfill. sometimes even .1-.2 cc makes a huge difference. good luck! -
hi bbtex - welcome to LBT. you may want to do a search in Hospitals & Doctor's section for that surgeon. i have not heard of him, but that doesnt mean anything. best of luck to you.

wanting to do lap band...
losingjusme replied to DMULLENIX's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
hi, welcome to LBT. it's one of the best decisions i've made - ever. i now live my life and enjoy it! my suggestion - read here, read the stories ... even the not so good ones. you want to be fully prepared. once banded, get properly restricted - not too tight, that's not healthy. best of luck to you. -

losingjusme replied to prillywilly's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
hi, welcome to LBT. it all depends on whether you are using insurance, if they have requirements, etc... my approval was quick (less than 2-3 weeks) and i was in the OR 2-3 weeks after that. best of luck to you! -
