Hi I have had my band since 2006 in live in louisiana. If you are hurting on the rt side do you still have your gallbladder?? People who have a quick wt. loss usually have problems with the gallbladder after having lap band surgery. Thank goodness mine was gone before. If you would like to chat let me know. I have lost 90lbs, I had reflux and my band was too tight and had to open back up. I gained back 15lbs. Trying to get back down where I was. You can email me mjcassisa@yahoo.com

yes I have the same thing not acid reflux. mucus and whatever last drank makes me cough and if i lay on my side or stomach it comes out my nose like a water fountain. Tried not eating or drinking after 6pm and it still happens. I don't know what to do my band is fine. I have to stay on sinus meds and antibiotics so i don't produce the mucus in my stomach.

I was banded by dr. bellanger at vista hosp in baton rouge

I am very tight in am only able to drink coffee and can eat some yogourt at 10am or so better by lunch and ok by p.m. so I can get some protien down.

hello I'm from the Baton Rouge area

I had to pay cash for my surgery. I was denied by both my insurance. Baton Rouge, La Dr. Drake Bellanger at vista Hospital. $12900.00 for everything including your f/u visits for 1 year. Great f/u support his office is in the same place as the hospital.

Hey x-ray chic, Ultrasound chic here to tell you for the first 4-5 days on the liquid wasn't so bad because you have just had surgery but after that it got kinda rough i was pretty hungry on that liquid diet. I had to do it post-op for 10 days. But I made it throught it and it was all worth it.

I felt the same way was I doing the right thing could I live w/out bread pasta. YES I CAN !!! And the results out weigh the alternitive of being fat. I was banded 10/2006 and 47lbs lighter and feel great.

Sorry to here that your nutritionist was such a bitch. Mine only deals with lap band/bypass patients and she was great and she was a little chunky and understood the struggle.

you probably need to stay on liquids and soup and jello to let you esphagus relax for a few days

it is a liquid

if you cant get your doctor today go get some extra strength gaviscon antacid it is great
