Smoking,// can u use the patch 2 Quite?
maharet111 replied to kokomoshell's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I quit in December got my February Surgery. With the coughing I did after the tube came out and clearing my lungs after surgery I don't know how I would have done it if I still smoked. I used the level three patches for two weeks to get me over the hump and then stopped. Three months smoke free..I wanted the sleeve more. -
Hi everyone, I have reviewed this site for a while now and am in the early stages of the whole process. I am awaiting the initial approval from my insurance company to get the consult with the surgeon. I am really excited but nervous too. I have Blue Cross of California. I was told by the insurance company that I should get an answer by tomorrow. I'm hoping they approve me although I am in good health just really fat! This waiting game is horrible! I've only been waiting for a week, it seems like forever though. I will keep you all posted. This forum is great!

I was baned June 30,09 so I am still early in the game. I listened and understood that life would be diffrent, but I emotionaly I am still riding the rollacoster with ups and downs. I have suffered with depression since childhood. I am socialable person in a unbalanced body with a unbalnced brain. This past winter 08-09 I was missreble. I was seeing a proffesional theropist, my pastor, and a friend. Spring came and I came closer to being band. I was happy. I grinned 24/7 from the day I got my approval from insurane. I was so excited to have my surgery. The day came still filling good. I went home felling ok (sore and tired) a week went by and my energystarted to come back started to feel like my self again. Then two days before going from liquids to mushies I stared to get nervous. Then a lot of sad things have happened in my community some directly related to me some not. One that is our pastor and his family have resined from our church (serious health problems).Then there are other things less about me though. But I am just so sad. I just can't seem to focus on anything good just the sad stuff.:bored:

was banded on Oct 20, 2009 and so far have lost 74lbs (including 30+ pre op) This past week I caught a nasty stomach virus and had some major nausea and pretty violent throwing up. I took anti nausea meds.. but man I threw up alot! anyway... I'm feeling better today, except I hurt! I mean really hurt! I can't even gently press my upper stomach, I can't slouch, or take a deep breath without pain. I'm hoping I just really made it mad and bruised it, but in the back of my mind, I'm worried I messed up my band! I can drink and eat altho I'm being very very careful. any insight?

Does (Did) Anyone Else Feel This Way?
BJGOODY replied to BJGOODY's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Thanks ladies! I just don't want to starve my body. So far the eggs have gone down good. At what week were you able to eat anything without the pain of it hitting your stomach? -
Does (Did) Anyone Else Feel This Way?
Spatters3 replied to BJGOODY's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
It has only been a couple of weeks and your stomach was traumatized. If you are getting in enough fluids and protein (via protein shakes?) then just count your blessings :-) You will eventually be able to eat more than a spoonful. No problem. -

Interesting Article About Emotions Surrounding Weight
Vsglass replied to WhoozisAnyway's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I don't know if this link will work or if this is the place to post it but thought, as my fellow "April Sleever Buddies" and I are on the cusp of major changes, I would show you a documentary that was shown here in Scotland a couple of weeks ago that I found interesting and encouraging. It is about a surgeon who investigates what makes some people fat and she starts from her personal view that we should eat-less-and-move-more and by the end her views have changed about what makes some people overweight and how they can be helped. It deals with Gastric By-Pass but the principles hold true for us "Sleevers" too I think. Interesting, particularly the sections on hunger hormones and stress. I found it encouraging, I hope you do too... www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b01dzfgb (If you can't get this link it might be on Youtube. It's a called Horizon: The Truth about Fat) Quote MultiQuote Edit -
Quite common I think. The articles referenced here might help. http://www.verticalsleevetalk.com/topic/91424-this-is-a-public-service-announcement-concerning-stalls-plateaus/page__hl__%2Bpublic+%2Bservice

I am still vomiting up just about everything. Seems the only thing I can handle is water and that even comes up eventually. Any advice? I'm suppose to start vitamins and protein today but I don't see that happening.

I was told that it is grease in your tummy that seaps out. Mine stopped after about 1 week and it would start up mostly after taking a shower. You are fine, don't worry its all part of the process.

Greeting fellow bandsters! I am 6 months post op and just had my 2nd fill. I had to search for another Doc. due to my surgeon having terrible aftercare services. Anyway, I just got my fill last week, and have been having SEVERE SALIVATING PROBLEMS AND GURGLING NOISES! These can be so embarrassing, as I have to go and spit in the sink or outside, or carry a cup to spit in. I can have 3-4 bites before filling full. Is this normal? Dont get me wrong... I am thrilled with my new weightloss, since losing 10 lbs in the last week. I was stuck and 40 lbs, and felt like a real failure for only losing this amount over 6 months. I am now at 50 and happy. Can anyone give me advice about my new symptoms? Are these abnormal, or will they just be a part of my new life? Thanks for your response! Take care ~ Bullit

Muscle pain/nausea after activities post op
mdhender87 replied to Emily Jane's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I have had the same issues and I am 3 weeks out at this point. Both get better. If I was too active as far as doing things around the house or doing things that required bending I would get really bad muscle pain, if that happens I just try to relax the muscle for a day and then it’s usually better. As far as with the nausea and dizziness in the shower, I kind of assumed it was low blood sugar due to my body adjusting to this new way of life. I would just try to sit for a few minutes and took zofran and drank a bit of apple juice and it seemed to do the trick every time. Both of these problems are becoming much less common the longer out I am though -
August All Stars Easter Challenge! Final Weigh In!
heartfire replied to heartfire's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Thanks, y'all! I'm doing pretty good now. I'm really sore from all of the trauma but that's okay. Taking it easy and going slow. I'm whooped but that's to be expected. Lellow, thanks for letting me know how you did un-filled. It is so scary to me! I'm not too interested in food right now, I do get hungry but I fill up fast. I know that will change once the swelling all goes down! I've got my next appt w/him on the 30th. Hopefully he'll be re-filling me starting then. I'm sure he'll want to go slow. Thanks again! I :wub: you guys!! Welcome! Congrats on your numbers! Great job! We just finished up an 8 week challenge. We just picked a number of lbs that we thought we could lose (all individual) and worked on trying to lose it by Easter! If you just click on one of our banners, it will take you to the site to make one. Then you put the code into your signature. I can't exactly remember how to do it tho. I think there is a thread somewhere on the site that tells you how it works. Take care and keep posting! -
August All Stars Easter Challenge! Final Weigh In!
krtork replied to heartfire's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Well, I didn't even come close. The scale is not budging - very frustrating! I am thankful that it is not going up. It is hard to not get so frustrated when the scale won't move - it has been weeks! However, my back is feeling better, I am able to start moving and exercising again. That is a plus for me, I have found exercise to be good for the mood! I am hoping as I am able to get back to pre-injury exercise my weight will respond! WTG to all that met their goal! Keep up the good work! -

The foray back to food.
kay.jones@gmail.com commented on kay.jones@gmail.com's blog entry in Blog 75800
This morning was one week since I was banded. Hooray! While I have had a hunger twinge now and then, I honestly have not been hungry, and I think a good bit of that is fear. Fear of what it'll be like when I try to eat again. I've gone into this with attitude that if I'm going to spend this kind of money, time, family time, etc, then I'm going to do it right. I'm going to try to do it by the book. So, today I tried that with my foray back to solid foods. This morning I had one packet of instant oatmeal (with splenda and a bit of cinnamon!) and one boiled egg. I took an hour to eat it, and never once felt any food coming back at all. In fact, I didn't feel full either. I just considered it over and that was that. At about 11am, I got hungry. It was not crazy hungry, but just the feeling. For lunch, I had 3/4 cup of black-eyed peas (left over from new Year's.) and about 2 oz of ham. This time I took about 25 mins to eat it (mindfully chewing every step of the way). Again, no problems. None. I'll have to see how supper goes, but I'd say so far so good! :-) -
Just got my APPROVAL from INS. YAY!!!
AKessler731 posted a topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am SOO excited!!! I just called to check the status of my insurance approval and was told I was approved and they gave me my approval number! Whoo Hoo! lol I called my surgeons office but they were out to lunch. Now, I just have to get it scheduled. I have a "dummy" date of Nov. 16th which is what they gave my insurance company but the girl at the dr's office said that could change. So I will be calling later on today to find out if I can get a "in stone" date! My paperwork was submitted last thursday, exactly one week ago. So 5 business days and I'm approved. I feel like I've won the lottery because as long as I can get it done before Dec 31st, then I wont have to pay anything for this surgery, it will be covered 100%! Anyways, thanks for listening, I just got so excited!! :wink2: -
I hadn't had a fill since 6/30/08, but since that fill I had a LOT of restriction and was having reflux problem and throwing up occasionally. I thought it would loosen up, but it didn't. Last week I felt like I was having a heart attack. Went to dr and he took all the saline out of my band. I haven't had any restriction in almost two weeks now, and I HATE IT - especially at Thanksgiving. My question is - I got back to the dr on Thursday, do you think he will be aggressive with the fill or should I expect no restriction for several months again? He said he thought I had no slippage if the symptoms all went away, and they did immediately. I just don't want to have to start over again. Any thoughts?

I had surgery on Jan 28 and lost 12 lbs post surgery from 296 to 284. I have lost no more weight. I have had my port flip and before they figured that out I went through 4 "B horror movie" fills one lasting 45 minutes while they stabbed at my tummy in seach of the port. I finally got my first real fill when they did the surgery to flip the port. 1cc and I just got a 1/2 again last week. I feel no change and am so disappointed. My surgery center and doctor have NO support what so ever on this process. Should I worry or should I get another fill? What is an average fill amount? I hate to sound so blue but it has become a nightmare. Thanks for listening.

pain go away :(
LeticiaHuggins replied to adri6873's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hang in there... It gets much much better. What will happen is one day you'll wake up and the psin will just be gone. I noticed when my tummy was wrapped tight it relieved sins of the pain. I used a panty girdle that went up right below my breast and it didn't push on the areas my staples were in. Having my stomach bonded helped tremendously during my walks.. I was actually super fast power walking at the end of week 2 and jogging be week 5..

Congratulations on getting a date. My surgery date for the lap band is also Wednesday, February 13. Do you have a pre-op diet? We will have to keep in touch. There are about three other people that are having their lap band surgery on Feb. 13.
