Nic is simply trying to keep you from posting too much on this public forum so it can't be pulled up by say the doctor's attorney somewhere down the road and be used against you by saying look what she wrote back in Mar. of 2016 about my client the doctor. This is a forum that can be accessed by anyone even someone not belonging to Obesity Help! She is trying to help not hurt you.

As far as picking apart your rape she is telling you that the fact you were married or that the doctor had ugly grey hair is irrelevant as far as a court case goes because rape has nothing to do with sexual desire it has to do with violence and what he looked like or whether you were married made no difference. He would have done it anyway because rape is an act of violence and control not sex. She is actually totally agreeing with you that you are a victim just as she was and I was when I was raped. I would bet a fair majority of us here have been raped because that can lead to us abusing food  and is the cause of many of us being overweight. In fact I would bet 8 put of every ten of us have been sexually assaulted at some point in our lives, it is far more common than many think!

Please know that we are all behind you and will pray for your healing and for the conviction of the guilty party! No one is cruel enough to minimize your pain on this forum, we support not dismiss those in pain! God bless!

Do you have an actual temperature or do you simply feel flushed and hot? Could very well be from lack of carbs as in the keto flu or it could actually be the flu it is that time of year. Either way not much you can do for it except to stay well hydrated and get in as much protein as you can thru drinks or shakes whatever your food stage is right now. Do push the water take a small sip every 10-15 min to make sure you stay hydrated it is very important at this stage, even more than protein the first several days.

Yes the doctor has me has a big drink in his rooms. I dont tent to swell until after. 

I ended up at hospital had a drip for fluid and they took out 1ml. 

In future tiny fills for me.

Hi Steven, our stories are exactly the same!  Loss, symptoms and regain, same length of time with the band.  We are twins! Lol.  I had my band out Oct 15 and had a bypass 3 weeks ago.  Smooth sailing, losing steadily, the only problem I had was scar tissue from the band which meant I was two and a half hours longer in surgery than anticipated.  But other than that there have been no issues, its lIke being back before the band started causing problems,  i am back in my happy place.  Best of all I haven't been sick and I can drink water freely.  YAY!  Good luck.

I am almost 9 years out with my lapband, and other than the occasional reflux, I do very well with it. When I overeat, my stomach hurts, but I was like that before I got the band.

I Can't  speak for the clinic you are going to, but SO FAR, and I hope it stays that way, my band teaches me everyday how much to eat.
