Sinus drainage filling the band.
Elizabeth36 replied to celticbanded's topic in Gastric Band Support & Discussion
Sounds like you have allergies- probably seasonal due to the high pollen count this time of year. If you have colored drainage you probably need an antibiotic for sinusitis. I also would suggest a prescription nasal spray like nasonex or flonase to decrease the inflammation affecting the lining the inside of your nose. It takes 2 weeks for the full effect of th nasal spray. I also would suggest clariten or allegra for allergies more so than Benadryl. Benadryl can make you sleepy and does not work as well as the newer allergy meds. Sorry if i have errors...i cant see what i am typing. the nasal spray -

I'm doing ok...just a lot of mental hunger..I just dont like gatorades and juices so it makes it even harder. I got confused with these post op thing and ate some yogurt and few bites of sugar free pudding....the thought of broth makes me want to hurl...I do have some port pain, but I'm not laid up or anything..the gas..oh the gas.

My advice is to call the OCC clinic. One of the MD'S will be able to advise you of the best thing to do.

Thanks Amy for talking with me! You were such a big help.I really appreciate it.

Thanks so much for your post. I have 22 days until I go for surgery ( just think by then you will be done with liquid phase yippie). I found it so informative. You answered questions that I was unsure of & gave me a sence of relief. I was thinking I needed to take bottled water, broth, etc but if there is a store that close I am not fooling with it. I hope things are going well and you are pain free. Let me know how you are doing.

Way to go girl! You still feeling ok? I hope I can stick to this like you are. I get so wrapped up in work all day long...all week long..just try to keep my head above water. I can't focus on anything else. I'm getting so aggervated.

Way to go! Your doing great. I only hope I can do this well.

You have came to the right place. Everyone on here is very helpful. I am a nurse and live in East Tn. I am scheduled for April 15th. I have researched it and feel more than comfortable. I wouldn't change my plans if I could.

I am glad to hear things are going better for you. Hope you catch a great wave tomorrow!

Exactly! I've told several myself, but I still have been all but told I was stupid...even though I know they are thinking that & probably saying behind my back. I have just stood strong. Funny, I am the most undecisive person I know. Not with this. I made up my mind & nothing can change it. I would love to read that book, but I tried to order and it says they are unavailable

Merry Christmas to you. Again i can't see what i am typing. I just hate to see anyone go through what I did. Life can be soooo much better. I thought I would never "love" anyone like i loved my first husband...what a joke. Bogiesmom you will find someone and he will be great. You are to thoughtful...compassionate...caring..and don't seem to care at all to tell someone what you think..hehehe. Those are awesome qualities to have!
-
Well I am glad to hear I still got it...lol..I have'nt done direct patient care for 2 years. I miss it. I do get to guide the nurses in the field, but It ain't the same..Plus I've got terrible allergies in the spring too. I may call you in a few days if thats ok. I will let you recoupe. i just got 26 days left. whoo hoo!
-
oooh I HATE those! Hope you feel better soon. Take lots of drugs! Antibiotics, steriods, mucinex, sudafed and some kind of nose spray (nasonex or nasacort something like that).

OOPS LOOK OVER MY SPELLING ERRORS
-
ok here I go.....I can't even see what i am typing so forgive me if it is a mess. First would it make you feel better If i said your husbands an asshole? Sorry, i don't like to be opinunated about others spouses, but I had a real jerk for my first husband and put up with some shit for 8 years. I have been remarried for 3 and let me say that life is so much BETTER! I am not saying it's perfect...we have our issues as we are suppose to. I can't expect perfect, but 80-90% is great. My first husband stayed out late..all night...always said he was with "friends" boy he was alright..need I say more..I am not insinuating he is lying or doing something he shouldn't I just always say "where there is smoke there is fire". He should have never defied your trust by telling ANYONE period. Also, your step daughter is a person with her own opinions and beliefs. Surely she can understand that you are an adult, and can make your own decisions. Surely she will not judge you by NOT seeing the PERSON you ARE and always HAVE BEEN! Sorry, I get a little mouthy sometimes.

I would be afraid to drink a glass of wine myself...knowing myself as I do....I would end up drinking the whole bottle! I'd be having a fiesta instead of siesta!
