November Bandsters!

I have been worried about my band for the last couple of days. I am worried it slipped.

I quit my diet cokes when I got banded and have not regretted it...but I never found out why coke is band for you when you're banded. Why is that?

prbrooksie,

What makes you think that it slipped? What kind of symtoms are you having?

I have had a couple of bad nights when I have eaten the wrong thing and it sure feels like something is wrong. Have you tried going to just liquids?

Hi everyone, Thank you all for the great insightful postings. I am not having luck finding a chewable Vitamin for adults. The thought of Flintstones just isn't doing it for me. Any other recommendations?

Hi CJ I'm KJ (Karen)

If you go to the website www.coastalcenterforobesity.com then click on coastal e store, they sell Bariatric Advantage Vitamins and supplements, they taste great and they are priced lower there than anywhere else.

anyway good luck

coke can disolve a nail to absolutely nothing in 3 days!! Imagine what it could do to your band!!

Don't risk it!!

Hope that helps!

I just called the doctor and they don't think I had a slip. They said that if it slipped I wouldn't be able to keep anything down, not even Water.

The reason I thought something happened was that I had a coughing fit and plus at the same time I was trying to raise my blood sugar with a sandwich. I started having severe pain and throwing it up. then the next day I had pain.

The office said that if this happens again to remember to always go back to liquids the next.

Hi November Bandsters and Bandsterettes!!

Today I had my first fill 5cc! I just love my Doctor! He made me drink Water after he filled it, said if I belched, he would have to take some out! Of course I did not belch, (yes I did have to) I really wanted the 5cc fill! I am so okay with being on liquids or mushies for a while!

I feel great and there is no pain or discomfort when drinking water, so I am not worried about the rest!

Being a part of this group has helped me immeasureably!! What a wealth of information and experience to draw from!

Thankyou everyone for sharing !!

I feel pretty tight right now when I eat regular foods, but they said they would get me to the point that I would only want to eat 2 to 3 times a day.
