  2. Worried

    in Gastric Band Support & Discussion

    Posted

    Put your little worried head at rest, you cannot feel the band around your stomach, unless you are able to palpate it...You cannot feel the port either. It will be a bit sensitive right after surgery, but I cannot feel my port and I sleep on my tummy!

    Good luck on your surgery..You won't ever regret it!!!!

  3. Upset, Petrified, Let-down

    in Gastric Band Support & Discussion

    From a nurses point of view, I am not a OR nurse, a ER nurse so surgery is not my specialty, my first question is why general anasthesia? (can't spell that word)...Why can't they do a local a big local, or use moderate sedation with a local? Moderate sedation puts you in lalala land and you don't remember it, and the local would make it so that you wouldn't feel it.? The only reason I could see them wanting you out, is to be totally still, so they can do what they want effectively, and in case they see something else that needs fixing. But ask about the moderate sedation... :lol::angry::unsure::wacko:

    I would rather want something in my body that will be there forever to be working properly...I would have the surgery...But that is me...You have to decide for you, and do what is right in your body and mind, then accept that decision and move on with life.!

  6. I think I had food poisening

    I don't have any words of wisdom except to see your dr and get a RX for Zofran or Phenergan so that you don't EVER heave over and over again. I think if you told them you had the band and the reasons why, they should give you an RX...I keep some on hand all the time. No need to barf....In a pinch benedryl can work to stop nausea too!

  12. Dr. Nyte

    in Plastic Surgery

    Posted

    Ok update...I am back to work in the ER as a nurse....Everyone is saying..."Wow you look so good" what did you have done....And when I tell them they want to know who this Dr. Nyte fellow is...Of course I have to tell them about Dr. Ortiz and how I started on this journey. I have given Dr. ortiz's information out to a few people, and I have given Dr. Nytes info out. I hope I get a kickback or something.

    I have been using Mederma on my breast, and I think I am allergic to the brand without SPF in it. My boobs broke out in hives at work...Oh felt so lovely...trying to not scratch my boobs in front of everyone. I have shown my breasts to a few select folks at work and they are soooo impressed with how they turned out. I of course think they look great. and the flat tummy is price less... :wub:

    One very satisfied post surgical client of Dr. Nyte....and Dr. Ortiz...Of course I want to reach my goal weight, then I will be one hot hot hot mama!

  17. Relationship issues and the band

    in Gastric Band Support & Discussion

    Posted

    The more I think about what you posted the more pissed off I get. Does your x not want to be in competition with your band and the attention you give it? Would he have dated you at your pre band weight? Probable not.... As we all know relationships there are give and take. Maybe you can do a better job with not vomiting so much, if he would support you more. Each person could better themselves. BUT getting a life altering break up over your band....childish....Now perhaps he does not want to see you "hurt yourself" my cont to vomit. don't know.

    Your band is part of you, if he does not accept you, and every part of you, then he is not for you!...

  19. Fill and Food Sticking Advice

    in Gastric Band Support & Discussion

    Posted

    DITTO DITTO DITTO DITTO--MORE FILL IS NOT ALWAYS BETTER. I HAD TO MUCH OF A FILL AND WASN'T LOOSING AT ALL. TOOK SOME OUT AND WHAMMO, STARTED LOOSING. I WOULD NOT GET A FILL YET. WHEN YOU CAN EAT AND NOT GET THINGS STUCK ALL THE TIME, AND YOUR NOT LOOSING THEN THINK ABOUT A FILL. YOU STILL HAVE TO DO YOUR PART. EXERCISE, EAT RIGHT..ETC THE BAND IS A TOOL, SAID SOO WELL BY DR. ORTIZ....

    HE HAS A BOOK, DID YOU BUY IT? IT IS A GREAT REFERNCE WHEN YOU FORGET THINGS. I WOULD BUY IT IF YOU DON'T HAVE IT...
