Does anyone know of a doctor, physician assistant, nurse practitioner etc. who is willing to do fills for patients banded in Mexico. We use the Allergan Lap-Band and provide all patients with copies of their post op barium swallow films as well as operative report. Would appreciate any information anyone can give me to pass on to my patients.
Thank you...
Just wondering if anyone else had problems with the Boost in terms of not having constipation and going the other way? As soon I start moving around, my stomach starts churning and I'm in the bathroom. Even immodium isn't doing a whole lot. I'm wondering if it's because the boost isn't 100% lactose free.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Other than that I don't feel too bad, down 8 lbs in 3 days. Think hubby has finally gotten the hint that I am a little testy and not into teasing about food.

Hi ladies
There is a secret group that was set up on Facebook for the people on this forum. It's WLS - Friendly Manitoba. Since it's secret, you have to be invited to join...maybe one of the admins of the site will read this & let you know what to do to join. Sorry, I belong to the group, but I don't remember what I did to join! There aren't many posts there, but if you wanted to be active on the site, you could. This way the rest of the world can't read your posts, only those of us who are members.

Karen, this is Claudia (gone for good) and I am trying to add you on Facebook and typed in your name but I can't seem to find you. My Facebook name is Claudia Klausen. find me and friend me!
I am very sorry to hear that you are going through such tough times Michelle. I would agree that it is early days yet, you just had surgery and have probably been on medications that may affect your body. Focus on regaining your health and hopfully the weight loss will follow.
Take it easy when you go back to work and get lots of rest. I'll be thinking about you.

Oh Michelle, that's awful! Just when life is going so well, BANG! another friggin hurtle. You have such a beautiful spirit and such fantastic energy about you that I know you will overcome this setback. As far as the weight loss/gain goes, I'm sure not have a thyroid at all must mess with that. it seems pretty early in the game for levels to be all evened out. Just don't beat yourself up and focus on getting better. Hugs to you and your family.
