Topic: Follow-up Lab Results
Hi Everyone! I had my follow-up lab work done on Feb. 13th and got the results yesterday. They are sending me to a hematologist because my platelet count is low. Anyone have ANY IDEA what the heck that means??? Has anyone had this same type of issue? I'm reeeally hoping its nothing, but wanted to see if anyone else has had this same type of issue and it turned out to be something or not.
Thanks!

He never said anything about it. I do know it was put off once for about a month because he had an ulcer. But, from what I understand they called him about 2 weeks prior and told him he was scheduled for surgery on the 25th and that's when he had it.
Topic: 6 months post op Lap Band...need diet ideas!
Hi everyone!! I am 6 months post op Lap Band. I am having the most difficulty eating things. I chew, chew, chew..etc. But after several bites, it gets stuck. So, in 20 mins, I wanna eat again. I need some diet ideas. I work in the ER as a RN at night. So, I have little time to eat. My clinician suggested Lunchables...but they are getting stuck as well. I am not drinking with my meals or 1 hours after. (matter of fact, after this last adjustment, I had to have IV fluids from not drinking, BAD I KNOW. But I am sip, sip,sipping!) I have a 9 month old that I stay at home with except the two (2) nights a week that I work. So, my life is exciting and controlled. I have a hubby who is skinny and eats 4 meals a day. So, I have to stay up on my cooking game. But I don't like many proteins--I don't eat steak, roast, hamburger meat much, or ham. But the chicken and turkey that I will eat is dry and white meat Otherwise I will not eat it. Any IDEAS?? I eat seafood tons!!!!! Please help!

My surgeon is 3 hours away from me as well. I was a bit nervous about being so far away from him at first. It really wasn't that bad. The ride home was the worst, I was ready to get hoem but we had to stop every hour for me to gte out and walk around for about 15 minutes. So, it took foooooooooooorever to get home.

A friend of mine just had WLS, pretty sure it was lap-band, in Oxford on Monday. He's on Medicare.

Thank you for your response. I called Dr. Avara's office yesterday and the earliest I could get an appointment was March 7. Again, thanks for the information.
