I don't know if its just me or what.I haven't really gave my lapband a second thought.My frame of mind has changed from do I live to eat or do I eat to live.i chose to eat to live.once you break that live to eat mentality you'll be alright.You can still have your fun with foods after you've healed.The feeling you get after you are used to the change is enlightening.

New Trader Joe's opening up in the Ft,Worth area.

Read the article about POSE.Seems like a pretty slick procedure.The doctors also do something similar when a patient stretches out their pouch with the roux n y procedure.That corrective procedure I believe is called The ROSE procedure.Whereby doctors go through the mouth and down the esophagous to the pouch and tighten it up

Dumb here..what is Trader Joes?

Bullet mixer.make you some protein smoothie w a little p'nut butter or fruit.fits in your bag or purse

Nope...Dont do soft foods just yet.Let your innerds heal.Otherwise you could jeopardize all your health.get some sugar free Popsicles and munch and let that melt in your mouth.protein shakes

I think my doc anchored my band with iron chains.He knows I'm tough on appliances.

I'm just filing my new partials so that they don't rub my gums to the bone..it's workingCant talk straight yet but I'm trying.

You need to be stronger than what you are experiencing.Quit watching those trashy vh1 reruns..lol..Thats depressing enough.

God Bless to all that are going to have surgery.I must say.The Anastesia was awesome.I never slept so good.It was lights out then I was waking up in recovery

Hard to say what all you might have to do prior to surgery.Thats up to your insurance company.you have to qualify first.Good luck in your endeavors

Initially I lost almost 75lbs my first year.Then I coasted my second year.January of the second year I recd a fill up to 6.5cc of a 10cc realize band.I just got a fill Friday 10/12/2012.My doc put 1.cc in.I told her that I kinda fell off the wagon but I had started back and I cut out all the things that I don't need.im feeling that full sensation again..Stupid me

I think your band is too tight...naw..you've done wonderful so far.congrats

Congratulations.im waiting on approval.I cancelled the RNY thing.I feel more comfy on the lapband.

Im not banded as of yet.I had a RNY set up.I cancelled.I did alot of research reading.

You can try dr.wade barker.really??I have aetna also.I thought fills were priced like 175 or plus dollars

You can sprinkle protein in your soups.like the stuff you make protein shakes with.try vanilla.there might be some neutral tasting protein at GNC.just something to think about.makes your soups thicker

If the numbers are true at the gbo or gao.we the people as a whole cannot support free healthcare for everyone.there is only so much of the money to go around.way too massive of a program.if I wish everyone could have free healthcare?yes id go for it.no matter what party you support.we have to be realistic.come down to earth.we dont need anymore programs.its like the saftey belt law.yes and no it can save lives.but by the nature of us being humans.eventually someone is going to die.

So you can actually drink a diet carbonated drink??I read in an post that someone tried diet coke or whatever the diet drink was.and it didn't make them feel well.

Im also happy to hear you're okay.I meant to say that in my text.I heard that once you're banded.you cant have carbonated beverages for how long?not that im addicted to cokes,pepsi etc..just wanted info

Wow...guess you mightve been allergic to the materials in the band.or the placement of the band wasn't correct.im not banded but I've read alot of posts.more slippage related to vomiting and nausea.I believe the band can make you sick if it slips or its not positioned right.

You're doing what you feel is good for you.if you dont look after your own health.who will?right?...knock yourself out.keep looking to each day.keep looking forward.I cant believe I cancelled my RNY surgury.no outside pressure.just thought I know me better than a doctor.so I opted for you're wanting to get.good luck on your journey.im waiting for approval.

Life sux sometimes.we all go through hard times.im sorry about your grandma.be strong.pick yourself up off the ground.try to be postive.surround yourself with positivity.smile.laugh.have fun.dont take all things too seriously.move on.learn from your downfalls.we are not perfect.accept it.have faith.grab the bull by the horns.dont let it control you.you control your own world.we all love you.on this website and across this big world.dont close yourself out.be a part of.live love and laugh.be an inspiration to someone.be yourself.dont worry about others and what you think they think of you.you're number1.you love you.

I had very good results from EAS myoplex protein drink in the bottle.was shrinking my liver for RNY.but I reconsidered for the lapband.the myoplex was good for getting your nutrition plus protein curbed my hungriness

well,dont feel bad.you did what you felt like doing.I had the RNY scheduled but after more thought and research.I felt that it was too radical for all I wanted.now im waiting on approval for the lapband.im a big guy.this I know.I felt since im in no big hurry to reduce my fat percentages.plus my vitals are fine.I can walk and exercise.I feel good and im happy.I figured the lapband would be a useful tool for me.I can lose the fat slowly.learn to eat properly.plus eat healthier.my regular medical doctor said that I eat good but I eat too much of it.discipline.plus my resting metabolic rate is 2500 calories a day.which I feel is good.I dont have sleep apnea.my ekg,and electrocardiogram turned out fine.I passed the stress test.
