Wheezy 0 Posted March 21, 2007 Thanks for all the info Mandi. I found it very weird that Tammy didn't know that we should not take NSAIDs. She actually asked me why I thought that we should not take them. I told her that I thought I heard that it could cause erosion. Dr. M told me that it was OK to take it once in a while but not to use it on a regular basis. I just wanted to know if I could take the coated ones on a regular basis. I will let you know if I get a phone call tomorrow letting me know that I can't. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
green 6 Posted March 21, 2007 Oh wow, this is all really interesting info. I am quite a fan of coated aspiring. I guess I am gonna have to talk to TLBC land. Thanx. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CLOE 0 Posted March 23, 2007 Well, hopefully she'll ask the others in the office and get the facts. I don't think she should be answering questions if she dosen't really know the answers. Thats kinda scary. Ask for Sue. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wheezy 0 Posted March 25, 2007 I'm going to stay positive about Tammy. Let's say that I provided her with an opportunity to learn. As for the answer whether or not Naproxen-E is safe to take, I never got a phone call, so I presume that means it's safe. Or.....maybe she forgot to ask Dr. M........I don't like this way of communicating. I will phone the clinic tomorrow and ask for an answer. Next time I will tell her that I would appreciate a call back Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Donna D 1 Posted March 25, 2007 Hi Wheezy, I am new to lapband land and have been reading this forum for some time now. I am still in the considering stage and after having read about your early problems, I am wondering how your weight loss is now. Are you happy with your fill. Did you find your so called sweet spot?

Wheezy 0 Posted March 25, 2007 Hi Donna, no I have not found my sweet spot yet. Thought I had, but not yet. The weight loss has been extremely slow!!! I haven't given up yet. I am going on vacation but when I get back I'm going for another fill. Will keep ya posted. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lambchops 0 Posted March 26, 2007 Hi Folks, Question. I take a lot of Tylenol 3. Is that a NSAID? Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wheezy 0 Posted March 26, 2007 Donna, Dr Mumford in Mississauga did my surgery in Aug 2006. It cost $16,000. I think that rate is pretty standard in Ontario. Lambchops, Tylenol 3 is not an NSAID. It is acetaminophen with codeine and caffeine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CLOE 0 Posted April 10, 2007 Yeahhhhh, how was the vacation??? Hey Wheezy, I think I may be coming to Ottawa this summer for a few days. My husband has a conference to go to. How close to there are you???? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yoda 0 Posted April 10, 2007 WHOOO HOOOOOO....a conference!! Cloe will be Mr. Cloe's trophy date!!!! vaaa vaaa vaaa vooooooom! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wheezy 0 Posted April 10, 2007 Hi Ya'll, Finally got an internet connection. Vacation is great. I'll attach a few photos in another post. I called the clinic yesterday to set up a fill and no reply. I phoned back today and told the person answering the phone that no one called me back so she took a message and said that she would forward it. Tammy phones back today and said " Well I guess we have been playing telephone tag" I didn't know what to say, ya see because she never phoned back. Does she not know that in this day and age people have call display and call answer? Anyhooo... she told me that she would fax off the infor to the Doc in Ottawa. I phoned the Doc in Ottawa right after to book an appointment but I can't get in until April 30th. Now I'm trying to figure out if I should make the drive to Mississauga or wait until the end of April. Chloe, I live 1 hour from Ottawa. Let me know when you are going maybe we could connect. Maybe while the DH is on conference we could do some site seeing/shopping etc. Summer may be tricky to get time off so let me know the dates soon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
