Where are the Lex Park Losers???

Hi there, Diane here, I am looking for the support group called the Lexington Park Losers. Do you exist?? I am 5 days out from my lap band surgery at John Hopkins. I am mildly surprised that I had such distressful reactions after the surgery. I became constipated, 100 degree fever, gained weight instead of losing it, had infection at the site of incision, then had awful diaherra every since. I am hanging in there by my nails. Over the Thankgiving weekend is not the time for surgery. No one is there to really help. They wanted me to come back to the hospital 12 hours after checking out. Poor hubby, and doggie were at emergency room from 2pm to 12:30 am on Turkey day. I still have some of the problems like not losing any weight (I am sticking to the liquid diet), diaherra and bloating. Can anyone help?? Thanks Maybe I was clueless!!!

Hi Diane! Sounds as if your having a rough road. I'm not familiar with the lapband, but here is the website to the Lexington Park Losers - http://groups.yahoo.com/group/SO_MD_WLS/ There is also a lapband forum here on OH. Keep the faith and do as the Doc says. I'm sure that things will fall into place. Please keep us updated. TraciL

I'm sorry for your difficulties following surgery. Keep in touch. This group is the best. I have gotten so much support here. Aime

Thanks for the response. I am anixious to meet the group. I will try to make it on the 3rd week in December. I joined the Lex Losers on the website but I am having difficulty clicking on the menu. It say that I am registered? Do you know who I could email about this problem????? Thanks again. I did go on to the alternative website and saw pics from picnics and such. Looking forward Diane H PS. feeling like I am going to live one week after surgery. Thanks again.
