Topic: Diarrhea
Hi everyone,
I was just banded on Monday, 27 April 09. I started having diarrhea on Tuesday and a churning sound in my stomach. Has anybody experience this? It's like I can hear my liquid traveling through my stomach.
Thanks,

Topic: RE: side pain
I had a similar pain, kind of a burning, on my left side, just above the waist. It puzzled me too, because it wasn't really near the incisions. If that's what you're feeling, all I can tell you is that it'll go away in a couple of weeks. I never figured out exactly what it was from, just figured they probably cut a nerve somewhere that affected that spot. If you're still concerned, call your doctor. I'm sure they've dealt with this before and can put your mind at ease. Best wishes to you in your recovery!

Topic: VBG vs VSG
For those of you who were considering both of these surgeries and decided on VBG, how did you come to that conclusion?
I have been banded since 2001. In 2006 I had my band replaced after slippage and I've been very unhappy with all the problems I've had since then (I'm quite certain the 2006 band was placed too high). I am going for a revision (self pay) and I am not certain which option would be better for me. I would love to hear what you have to say about your VBG.
Thank you for your time!

Topic: Xpost Poor service from a suppliment site
I am hooked on Whey Gourmet's Artic Cappuccino Frappe.
So when the site I normally order was sold out, I went hunting.
I found MySupplimentStore.com
They had a reasonable price so I placed an order. Yea, that was the 11th. On the 16th I realized that I hadn't received a shipping confirmation. So I looked it up and noticed I had given them the wrong email address for me. I contacted the company and let them know my correct address.
That's when they told me that they were out of one of the flavors I had ordered and told me it wouldn't be in stock for 7-10 days and THEN it would ship. They said they could make a substitution. I wrote back and told them that I couldn't wait that long because I have a medical need for it and told them to substitute another flavor. They wrote back and said it would be midweek this week when I got it.
So I didn't get it. I emailed yesterday and asked about it. They actually wrote me back and said "Good news" UPS says your order will be there on Tuesday!!!!!!!
Tuesday?????!!!!!!! In what world is it ok to choose UPS ground 2-3 day shipping and it take over 17 days to get an order????
So I wrote them back and let them know it's not ok and they've lost a customer and that I would be letting others know NOT to order from them as well.
Feel free to order from these people if it doesn't matter if or when you get your product.
