I have not been banded yet, but if your doc doesn't have a emergency number I say go to the Emergency room.....my first thought was low blood sugar but the pain?

Please don't wait go to the ER even if they are not familiar with the band they can still evaluate by doing tests and you will have peace of mind, worrying can make things worse.

Good luck, keep us posted and I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.

I would have one of your daughters take you to the ER. At this stage in the game you shouldn't be feeling like this. Have you been getting your 64oz. of Water in? I really hope that you feel better.

You should call your doctor. The shakes--dizzy--you may be dehydrated, but you may have an infection. Any fever?

      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.
