Maryland Lap-Band Support Group



Recommended Posts

Hello Group,

I know that it has been a long time since anyone has heard from me. I have been going through my own stuff! But I will try to regroup and invite everyone back into my world. LOL I will be attending the May-2006 Lap-Band Support Group meeting today at 1 PM and I will speak there about my progress. I have been making much improvements and loving it. I have had much support from a lot of you. Mostly from a group member by the name of Teresita. She is awesome. I hope to see a lot of you there today. But if you are not able to attend... Look forward to the next meet. From what I know we will be having our first Pico-Nick meeting at one of our local parks. Take care and know that you are a part of one of the best support groups ever.

From Your Maryland Lap-Band Support Group Leader LOL Karen

Kisses and Hug's to you all. M&F God Bless

NO WAY .....DAG....THAT WAS LICKITY SPLIT......wow you have shopping to do.....gasxx, chewable......protein shakes......broth......breat mints....fiber pills, Vitamins, Calcium pills, all chewable of course, enema so you won't get the gas pain in your shoulder.....:clap2::clap2::clap2:

You Go Girl on your Water, be sure to drink plenty the day before surgery because you won't be able to drink after midnight. You don't want to be dehydrated. Have you have all your pre op test yet?

My Pre-Op is on the 27th... and I meet with my doc (Dr. Singh) one more time on the 27th as well...

I have a meeting tomorrow with the nurse (another requirement!)

and what about that enema? that's not cool! ahh I have pretty much all the Protein drinks... I found out that I am lactosant(sp) tolerant so I have to make my drinks with the powder and Water. And my mom and I have been taking chewable vitamins/pills now for awhile! :cool:

I know about the breath mints and throat spray but what else should I take to the hospital?

You go girl you are rolling. I hear that if you clean yourself out it my lessen the gas problem. I think you need anything for the hospital, in one day and out the next. Ask your dr if they will give a little pillow for the ride home for your tummy.
