Holidays And Fills

[nightingale2u 42]

Hiya Spud... PB stands for productive burp... it's different than actually throwing up... if we push it and eat more than our pouch will hold we often start producing copious amounts of saliva... have discomfort in the chest region and sometimes couph up a slime covered chunk o food. Now... I know that sounds completely disgusting... but it is something that makes a person think twice before overeating. This can also occur with the gastric bypass... I've seen it happen to my sister numerous times.

The complications that can occur during and after surgery are far less with the Lap Band. THe Lap Banding is usually a 23 hour admission in place of several days with the bypass. I guess I personally just wanted my GI tract to function as it was meant to... just wanted a tool to help me eat less and that's exactly what I got.

As far as fills go... I am really glad I got a fill on December 3rd... It is really just now kicking in and I have great hopes that I can enjoy the holiday without the added guilt that comes from stuffing myself. I'm hoping that this will be my first binge free Christmas!

Happy Holidays!

My suggestion on answering your questions about lap band surgery is to searc the internet there are hundreds of websites that detail everything you need to know. That is where I got my information before I decided to go ahead with this procedure. Go to Google and just type in lap band surgery in the search field. Unfortunately, there is way too much information for any one of us to write to you about. Good luck.

Well, the holidays are now in the rear-view mirror, and I did have my fill at the end of November.

I am so pleased that I went through with it. I was able to continue losing weight through the holidays, suffered no guilt by over-eating, and the fill provided the help that it is supposed to.

We are all different, but I am one example of it being a good thing.
