What are the guidelines on lifting after the surgery?

I take several medications and supplements for blood pressure, sugar control, high cholesterol & other supplements. I am really concerned about how I will take this medication after my surgery. I also take 1 tablepsoon of coconut oil which has really helped my hair loss from the blood pressure medication.

Here is my supplement regimen. How do I modify this for the lap band? I would like to start the modification now so I can be sure that I can do it.

labetalol (2 tablets) 300mg 2 x per day

simivastatin 1 tablet 20mg 1 x per day

dbcare 2 capsules 2 x per day

Cinnergen capsule 1 small capsule 2 x per day (cinnamon)

Chromium Picolinate 1 x per day

folic acid

1 tablespoon coconut oil (melted in coffee)

1 teaspoon wheat germ oil (vitamin e)

1 teaspoon fish oil

liquid vitamin 1 x per day

Hi,

I am scheduled for lap band surgery on 8/1. But today, July 6, I really hurt my lower back while picking up my 2 year old. I am going to chiropractor in the morning. Does this have an impact on my surgery date? Will I be able to take any pain medications for my back after I get the lapband?

How do I change my screen name?

I fly in on 7/31 and have surgery on 8/1!!!

Hi,

I am scheduled for banding on 8/1/2008... yippee.... Has anyone with PCOS been able to get pregnant after banding? Also,has anyone been able to get off cholesterol medication? And what about getting off high blood pressure medication after banding? How long did it take to get off the medication?

Thanks!
