Erosion & loss of restriction



Recommended Posts

Lisa, I'm so sorry that you've had such a nightmare time! Surely all of this will play out soon and give you a break! I'm so glad that you have an appt. with the gastrologist. You need to know what's going on. At least, this will be done locally and with your insurance!

I know this is the least of your worries right now. But I was reading "Smartbandsters". (I just read occasionally, no posts.) Post #60045 was by a new banded person by Dr. Kuri. She said a U.S. dr. was there to support her sister. The U.S. dr. was allowed to go in and observe the surgery. She said the hospital was as clean as any U.S. hospital, and that some of the equipment was better than in the U.S. "Kuri has beautiful hands and worked with great precision." She was very impressed w/ his technique and the procedure. So when you do get your port replaced, hopefully this will give you some peace of mind.

Although I'm several hundred miles away, please know that I'm thinking about you and hoping things will settle down. I would say "and get back to normal". But I gave up on "normal" a long time ago. Hang in there, girl! Hey, you've done great on your weight loss!

Teresa your crying is normal...I have told Lisa on several occassions that my emotions are out of control. My therapist warned me of this...

I guess I used to eat instead of cry before the band. So now that I do'nt eat...I cry. It's just my emotions coming out instead of me hiding them with food. makes sense right? I now longer eat for comfort or emotional reasons..so my emotions are all coming to the surface. It does get better as time passes... for me it was mainly the first 2.5 months. I seem to be doing much better these days except my PMS week and then WATCH OUT!

It's normal...

You are not driving anyone crazy either...you are to sweet to do that.

We should just have a crying, screaming, ranting, hitting (bring nerf bats), raving mad, fits when we are all in Vegas in October. Hey Lisa know anyone on the police force there. I am sure we will get calls. We have to forewarn them of our ritualistic dances so we won't get arrested.

We can have a ball. Take all our frustrations out. Get our emotions out. LOL!!!!

Then go home and do it all again next month. LOL!!!!

I just love all you guys.

I'm all weepy and I love you guys too.. crying,, laughing... wondering when my birds will SHUT THE F UP. I forgot to cover them last night, so they woke me up before my time. Boo hoo, I love you, hahahah. Feelin' a little crazy.

Penni, stop worrying about getting arrested. Who needs a police contact when I work in a law firm? Duh, 24 hour representation here! Party on, Garth.

Why the F are tears running down my face? Seriously? I'm not even in a bad mood. Just feelin' the love, babies, feelin' the love.

Penni, we could sit around making "your mamma" or "your daddy" insults at each other. I'll start: I called your daddy a homo and he threw his purse at me!

Hey, I can say that cuz 2 of my best friends are gay and they taught me that one.

Well I wasn't weepy, but now I feel like crying......... except when I wrote that I cracked up and started laughing... You all want to know something I do that is hilarious............

When I am in the grocery store and one of those snooty bitches that look like she just bought her stuff at some fancy store is pushing her basket like it has cooties on it, ya know the type right? Well I fart on her isle............yep........... then I double back to see how she reacts........It is so damn funny. I walk up and down the isle after that kinda looking around and you should see how funny it is... I laugh my way through the store. My daughter won't walk with me. I don't do this all the time, I am not always crude, in fact you would never know I do this to look at me.. That is why it is so funny.

My daughter said, I share toooooo much... Oh well... that me.

Home sweet home... dying from laughing. Husband has me stressed out (what's new?) Wound leaking. dinner burning, dog dying to go swimming, phone ringing... typical. So I come here to get away and pee my pants again. Gotta go change. Glad I'm not the only 12 year old around here. I take my neighbor's kid out who is 14 and my best friend. Me & Mekha walk around playing "you sat in something." Just tell people as you walk by "hey, yous at in something" then hide and watch them chase their tails. Party on, Wayne.

      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.
