Hi' date='

Would you share what happened to you before needing your band removed?

Thank you![/quote']

I had a bad slip. My band and I have been having disagreements since about 6 months post op. I had either little, or nothing in my band the last 2 years, even with that, if I was stressed, had PMS, didn't sleep well, my allergies were acting up, the moon was in the wrong position, etc, I wouldn't be able to eat, I

Rob ably spent 2 weeks a month on sorts or liquids. This summer I started having severe chest pain radiating into my shoulder and jaw when I ate, then I'd throw up, anything but liquids came back so I stayed on liquids, retried food a few days later, thought I was going to die, threw up (actually threw up, completely undigested, what I had eaten the evening before, nasty). Anyway a barium swallow showed. Large slip with a big portion of my stomach herniated above the band. Nothing solid could get through and liquids were starting to be a problem. I had an urgent removal the following week and was supposed to have revision to bypass but had so much nflammation and damage from the band the surgeon felt it best to send me home to heal for 6 month. I am 3 weeks and 1 day post removal and feel better than I have in 2 years, chest pain, coughing, GERD (forgot to mention that above, I was waking up at night refusing to the point I was choking), hiccups, cheat pain all gone, energy up....

It's all just dandy, now if only February would get here!

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
