Rockn4u 1 Posted March 16, 2007 I have a question? I have 100lbs to lose, I get banded 3/27/07 Type II Diabetic (for 5yrs) Over the past 2-3yrs. I've noticed all the Led in my Pencil hasn't been there :bandit The Doc even gave me some 100mg Viagra! I thought that would get King Kong Erect!!! But nada :faint:you believe that. I was just wondering, to you Post-Op People, did you see any improvement with that??? Thanks Guys, Rocko~~ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RowdyReptile 2 Posted March 16, 2007 Brothers of the Band, I have now officially joined you. Went in at 8Am, put on my little robe, they started an IV, next thing i know I wake up at 11AM with a sore stomach and the worst cotton mouth i've ever had. lol, apparently when I came out of anestesia (sp?) in the OR, I started going nutts yelling and hitting stuff, screaming, "stop holding my f'ing arms down". I don't remember that, but i hope i didnt say anything too nasty to the folks in the OR. overall, the worst part was when they were prepping me for surgery.. It was sort of like an alien obduction scene...freaked me out. Right now, i'm sipping a propel, taking plenty of meds, and the pain in my stomach sort of feels like a cramp you get when you're running. If i twist a certain way when i'm standing up or laying down, it really hurts like hell. taking deep breaths helps a lot. anyway, looking forward to my rowdy reptiles whipping some A$$ tonight in the first round of the NCAA tournament.

NowNotSoBigGuy 0 Posted March 17, 2007 Rocko: The ol' pencil definitely got a lead injection after I was banded. The reports from the Oprah show, while possibly a bit exaggerated, are generally correct. Things just work better when not surrounded by fat. Use the search feature on LBT to find other threads on the subject; I recall some informative and humorous ones a while back, with both male and female perspectives. To summarize, "longer" and "stronger" were the terms most commonly mentioned to describe the improvement. Good luck to you, brother. And Rowdy, welcome to Bandland brother. Get some rest and let your body recover from being banded. You just made one of the smartest moves of your life and you'll be reaping the rewards very shortly. Onward, brothers.

RowdyReptile 2 Posted March 17, 2007 Thanks Not so Big. just chilling at home for a few days. According to Dr. Phil, you gain about 1in in size for every 33pounds you lose. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brewa2000 1 Posted March 17, 2007 Wonder where they do these studies and who participates? If you gain enough do you go "in the Hole"? Hummm... Bruce Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gaffer 1 Posted March 17, 2007 For me the ole pencil did get some lead added to it. Mrs. Gaffer has confirmed that by telling me she does not know what she will do when I lose more weight. Yet another postitive side effect of the band. Andrew Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
