I was afraid this would happen...

So Sorry Scorpio Girl that you had the issues that you have had with your Band and that your Post Got High-jacked :huh:

​I'm pretty sure the only thing SG was doing here was Sharing HER experience. When Actually, if anyone has ever read the Allergan Complications lists they will see that In DEED Esophageal issues are a complication with a band.

Esophageal Dilation, Delayed Esophageal Emptying GI perforation, Dysphagia. I'm not saying just because they list it everyone is going to experience it, But they have to list it in order for the FDA to had approved it.

And sounds like SC had a few of these problems AND she had a Band ;)

And we all know the LB only causes %5 of the complications the other complications are from Non- compliance....lol (YEAH RIGHT)

.A LB after 2007 NOT high pressure? I'd love to see that proof.

NO one will argue that AFTERCARE is important, But I'd have to agree that almost everything you said to SC was a personal attack, because unless your her Surgeon how do you know what she went through? Scar tissue is a FACT with any surgery, it happens, unfortunately they can't determine the severity until they open you up to view the abdominal cavity.

QUOTE:Scar tissue forms around the lap band anyway because it helps hold it in place long term along with the sutures.

​I'd love to see the Study on this as well, because if that's the case why bother to suture? We can all just pray that the scar tissue hold the band in place apposed to causing problems.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
