What I Hate About The Band

[Rojasanoll 920]

WE don't have all the answers for ALL questions. Sometimes it's common sense and other times, you must see your doctor. But we do have lots of people here who have been in similar situations as you and they our giving their story on what worked for them. We can all take their advice or not, some works and some not. Sometimes, advice given can help us not run or call our doctor all the time. I use this forum and enjoy all the hard work people have given me in what worked for them.

Best wishes

As the other poster said being banded is not a joke. What we all typed was a clarification that the band doesn't move around that way. There have been times I wasn't sure about some things when I was newly banded and reading the forums helped me immensely. Sure there is a lot of wrong info posted and some members will be kind enough to correct us. I'm grateful to those more experienced bandsters, especially when this was so new to me. So if they are weird, including myself so be it, I'm appreciative of the advice and clarifications.

Signed, a weird one!

The part where people correct you and give you good information is cool. But the part where people insist on telling you the same thing over and over while ignoring your previous response to the issue is the weird part. It's like people just want to say something without even listening or hearing what was just said.

I know for me sometimes my page on my iPad doesn't refresh before I post and realize it was just said. Good luck to you!

Not quite sure where

" people insist on telling you the same thing over and over while ignoring your previous response to the issue"....

You posted that your band was" sliding". This is a sign of a serious complication.

If you wake up with a Migraine and can't swallow your medication, get a liquid painkiller.

From your statistics, it looks like you are an "experienced bandster", so the issue of band "sliding " and not being able to swallow pills at this point is surprising.

Sounds like you might need an "un-fill".

If you are waiting until 4PM to be able to swallow solids, that is a problem.
