Guest guest Posted November 20, 2006 Report Share Posted November 20, 2006 Hello Wow You are doing great. I had my surgery on April 24, 2006. I have had 4 adjustments and ready to schedule another. I have lost 101 pounds and still at a large weight of 290. I can tell through my clothes I have lost weight. I was in 28 and now a 22/24, When I look in the mirror and see myself though I do not see a lot of weight gone. I am 42 and overweight my entire life and still look at myself as just as big as ever. I like you vomit alot and my dr. said the same as yours. It is my eating. I am just eating to much and should only be eating 2 or 3 bites. I stil find myself putting the same amount of food on my plate but I can not eat it all. Usually I do throw up cause I am eating to much. I do not ever taste bile, just the food and slimy stuff. I have also been sick while driving. My son absolutely will not let me eat in car because I do over eat and get sick. Your Dr. is a far drive. How many adjustments have you been able to get. I had my surgery and did not get my first fill for almost 8 weeks due to the dr. had no appointments available. Oh well. I seen we had a lot in commomn and wanted to tell you what a terrific job you have done so far. Good luck. Take care leigh ann smith > > I had my banding on June 22, 2006. I have lost 92 lbs.

Guest guest Posted November 20, 2006 Report Share Posted November 20, 2006 Hello Just wanted to say I have lost 101 pounds and had surgery April 24, 2006. My Dr. told me I am right on target. I did start at a large weight of 390. That is part of why the weight came off so fast. I am still losing fast. I have lost 24 pounds since Sept 27, 2006 when I had my last fill. I do throw up a lot and I know it is from overeating. My brain has to catch up to where my stomach and banding tool needs are. I am 42 and my thinking will change but it will not happen overnight. It took me 42 years to get where I am and it is not going to change in 6 months. I know I should not put so much food on my plate and I always ate when depressed and used food as a crutch. Sometimes I find myself still using food and eating when not hundry and overeating. I have to change these habits. The band is a tool and it is to help me lose the weight but I have to change my thinking as well. I am seeing a counselor now and hope that helps. I have to learn to not use food when sad, unhappy etc. Oh well-just wanted to comment that I have lost a large amount of weight in a short time, but my Dr said I am healthier now than I have been in years. So I guess I am doing something kind of right. Losing weight and changing eating habits are hard and it will take time. I just can not do it as fast as some can. We are all different and our bodies are all different as well. Some will lose faster, slower, vomit, not vomit, have band problems etc. Not all will succeeed, I hope all do though leigh ann > > I have to agree. It isnt normal to throw up every meal. You are eating too fast..not chewing enough and taking too big bites. Its also not normal to lose an average of 5 lbs a week without bypass surgery. I hope that you are taking a lot of vitamins and supplements for your nutrition because I cant imagine how you can be getting enough nutrition in if you are throwing up everything. Think about it..its basically the same as being bulimic and if it continues for too long you will damage your body the same as an anorexic or bulimic does. From what you said you are losing weight through starvation and that is not what the band is designed for. > > > -------------- Original message ---------------------- > From: " keefepa2 " <keefepa2@...> > > I had my banding on June 22, 2006.

Guest guest Posted November 20, 2006 Report Share Posted November 20, 2006 Hi Dan I find that I find help in your comments and was curious about something. This is not a pleasent subject but here goes anyway, I only have one or sometimes two bowel movements a week. Is this normal or should I speak with my dr. about it. I do not want to go to my dr. with it if it is something normal going on. I know if you do not put as much in as much will not come out and that is what I figured is going on but I am not sure that is it. I look forward to your reply as you seem to know alot about the band and what we go through. I have only been banded since April of this year and have lost 100 pounds, I still have a long way to go. I started at 390 and am now 290. I would like to get to 160 or 170. Heck I have been so big my entire life I would be tickled to get to 200 pounds. Do most people meet there goal within 2 years Take Care Leigh Ann > > > I still do exactly what you describe, except that most of what I > > throw up is the slimey stuff.

I don't find your bowel patterns unusual. You're eating MUCH less food, and therefore your system doesn't have nearly as much to handle. As long as you're not becoming real constipated, having pain with the movements, etc, I don't think it is a problem. I know there are people who think " if you don't have a bowel movement every day you must be sick and you must do something to make that happen " . Nonsense. > normal or should I speak with my dr. about it. I do not want to go > to my dr. with it if it is something normal going on. I know if you > do not put as much in as much will not come out and that is what I > figured is going on but I am not sure that is it. You got it. In my experience I've become a bit more frequent (maybe every other day) over the years, which may be from continuing change in eating habits, some from more exercise, some perhaps from everything in there shrinking. > I look forward to > your reply as you seem to know alot about the band and what we go > through. I have only been banded since April of this year and have > lost 100 pounds, I still have a long way to go. I started at 390 > and am now 290. I would like to get to 160 or 170. Heck I have > been so big my entire life I would be tickled to get to 200 pounds. > Do most people meet there goal within 2 years That's great. The larger you are, the faster you lose. I will say that having started at 355 a few months before banding that I know I'll never get to a " normal " BMI of 25, even if I had more plastic surgery, which I don't plan to do. For me that would be 174 (height of 5-10). My goal is 190 instead of the 199 shown below, but I'll be VERY happy to get into, and stay in, " the ones " . When you get down even lower you'll find ever more loose flab, and that will not go away without surgery. It is just like a balloon that has been stretched and will never go back to the original size. And, fat cells never go away, they just shrink, so are still there. And...keep on keeping on...and don't set yourself too low of a goal. My first goal was 222, a nice 101 below the 323 at which I was banded. But my goal keeps moving down. All too many women think they can get " back to what I was at my junior prom " (assuming they weren't overweight then). Not likely to happen, at least without a bunch of plastic surgery, etc. dan -- Dan Lester, Boise, ID honu@... www.mylapband.tk Dr. Ortiz, Tijuana, 4/28/03 323/209/199 Age 63 The road goes on forever.....

For those people who are too " dainty " to say barf, puke, vomit, heave, have a technicolor yawn, worship the porcelain god, etc, etc, they invented " productive burp " .

Guest guest Posted November 20, 2006 Report Share Posted November 20, 2006 PB means productive burp as you will know the vomiting we experience is differnt from the vomiting that we have say when we was ill. Its more of a rebound rather than vomit the food does not go down and you can feel it and like its been said the body tries to dislodge it and the salivia builds up and just add's to the weight allready in your throat when it becomes too much and refluxes out. I think the terminoligy will be differnt in the UK than it is in the US. >From: " leigh ann smith " <leighann@...> >Reply- > >Subject: Re: throwing up >Date: Mon, 20 Nov 2006 21:54:27 -0000 > > > > > > > > I was banded on December 27, 2006, I'm very > > > happy, but I am still throwing up > > > > lol Dont you mean 2005? > > > > What you discribe sounds more like a PB, Its awfull isnt it if you >try > > and stop your self throwing up the saliva just builds up and up >untill > > eventually its too heavy to stay down.

Let's get this streght on the whole the experience is universally known as a PB no matter how ya wanna dress it up. throwing ya ring up or PB. Its not so much a vomit more and its not really a burp is it!!!. Its not nice and like you say some experience it more than others and no matter how much you chew sometimes it gets stuck. Fiberus food can be dodgy and stodgy food can also be well dodgy and you may experience more PBing with fiberus and stodgy foods than you will with other texture food. lol dainty crist iv never been referred to as dainty in my intire life.

I never could understand why people came up with the darn PB anyway. It makes it seem okay to some people.

Yeah, no swearing if at all possible. Don't want to offend anyone's dainty or tender or demure or shy or whatever else. > Let's get this streght on the whole the experience is universally > known as a PB no matter how ya wanna dress it up. throwing ya ring > up or PB. Its not so much a vomit more and its not really a burp is > it!!!. Oh, nonsense. It is vomit by definition, no matter how you want to dress it up. It sure isn't a burp, as note definition of burping: Burping, also known as belching, ructus or eructation, is the release of gas from the digestive tract (mainly esophagus and stomach) through the mouth. It is often audible. Note that burp means bringing up GAS, not anything else. > Its not nice and like you say some experience it more than others > and no matter how much you chew sometimes it gets stuck. Fiberus > food can be dodgy and stodgy food can also be well dodgy and you may > experience more PBing with fiberus and stodgy foods than you will > with other texture food. Right. What some can eat, others can't, and vice versa. And for me there are foods I don't think of trying, like clams and oysters, both of which I love. dan -- Dan Lester, Boise, ID honu@... www.mylapband.tk Dr. Ortiz, Tijuana, 4/28/03 323/209/199 Age 63 The road goes on forever.....

I always chewed alot but the bites were bigger. I've gotten in trouble with big bites, which I still struggle with. One of the things that is problematic for me, especially with big bites, is jerky. I regularly eat turkey jerky. But I'm also careful to spit out any piece that doesn't chew up to nothing, as it'll get stuck. You know, gristle, tough stuff. But if I have a big bite I may forget to feel every teeny bit of it in my mouth, or think that I'm only swallowing only the " ok stuff " and let a piece that isn't ok go down. > I'm so excited > right now.

Guest guest Posted November 21, 2006 Report Share Posted November 21, 2006 <<I had my banding on June 22, 2006. I have lost 92 lbs. I'm very happy, but I am still throwing up very often. One day I'm fine and the next I will throw up the same thing that I ate yesterday. Another day, may throw up every meal that I eat. Sometimes, i just spit up slimey stuff, but there are times when I throw it all up.>> Wow, great weight loss but that's a lot of weight off in a short period of time for a bandster but you must really be feeling full of _iss and vinegar now huh? Please take it easy with what and how you're eating though, you shouldn't be slimming or throwing up. I've been lucky not to have very many " toss ups " . One thing I've learned is that you've got to pick good cuts of meat and add sauce if it's dry, especially poultry. I temporarily forgot the thing about eating only good cuts of meat last week when my hubby brought home Chinese food. I rarely eat Chinese since being banded but that beef chow mien smelled SO good! Within the first bite I knew I could not properly grind the meat to safely pass through the stoma so I spit it into my napkin and decided to pick my battle elsewhere;-) I only had a small amount on my plate so I picked through the meat and gave it to my dogs, took 2 bites of the noodles and was happy to just satisfy the craving;-) Some folks can't eat pasta, rice or potatoes so if you feel that you just have to satisfy that craving, take 1 or 2 small bites and wait several minutes to see how it's going to land;-) First sign of distress..bail out and don't eat anymore of it. There are so many good things we can eat without slimming but you might also be a bit too tight. If in doubt, go to Dallas and see your doc or find one that takes care of band fills around Tulsa area. FYI - if you feel a piece of food is stuck or you're getting that ick feeling, try making a hot cup of sweetened mint tea and slowly sip it. Once that ick feeling passes (usually quickly with the tea) then just cover your meal up and put it in the refrigerator for another time. I've ticked off my stoma a couple of times by insisting I keep eating...not a good idea because then it swelled up and I quickly found out who the boss was;-) Kem in Eugene Dr. Neal 8.6.04 <º)))>< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I'm sure we all know many terms for female genitalia. However, it isn't appropriate to list them all here. > Who are you to tell me what words i can and cant use, see i told ya > i wasn't " demure " didn't and lady like well who's messuring what > makes one woman a lady and another not. Who am I? I'm the group owner/moderator. And your gratuitious and inappropriate use of language that almost everybody on here would consider vulgar has earned you moderated status. At the moment you're the only person on here who is moderated, other than people who've not posted yet. Sorry if you don't like it, but we try to have some standards of civility, since that is what the majority desires. cheers dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 22, 2006 Report Share Posted November 22, 2006 That post with all the vulgar terms for female body parts, etc, was sent BEFORE I changed her status to MODERATED. When you join, you're moderated automatically. As long as your first is relevant, clean, decent, etc, then I change you to unmoderated at that point. And that's what was done. But now that the line of decency and appropriateness has been crossed, I changed the status to moderated. No reason to kick her off at present, as maybe she'll settle down and also learn from the posts of others. And of course if posts become more appropriate in content and language, they'll get approved. Otherwise they'll get rejected or edited (if I can simply do some VERY simple editing). It is VERY rare for me to edit anything, and as all the rest know, your posts go straight through. This is the first time in several years, and of managing over twenty groups, that I've changed anyone to moderated status. There is absolutely nothing that anyone can say, any language they can use, that will offend me. I've heard it all, and have said much of it, though not in public venues like this. But, as your grandma probalby taught you, " there's a time and place for everything " , and this isn't the place for the kind of behavior we've had. dan Re: Re: throwing up > Boy Dan I sure hope you are sending us this post to show us the reasons why you aren't going to allow her to be member any longer. > She has gone off the deep end and really isn't helping anyone on this board do you think? > Just my opinion... :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 7, 2007 Report Share Posted January 7, 2007 I think you have spent way too much time on the puke issue! I was told that pb stood for productive burp. I think of vomitting as more a projectile upchuck of liquid/food. The main object is not to do either.no matter what you call it!!! honu@... wrote: --------------------------------- Want to start your own business? Learn how on Small Business.

Guest guest Posted January 7, 2007 Report Share Posted January 7, 2007 Thank you for bringing up something that hasn't even been discussed in weeks and weeks. Of course now that you've given us another opportunity to discuss the stupid term PB in stead of the proper term of vomit, then that's ok with me. Go back to the old messages and see the definitions from assorted medical websites. cheers dan I never complain, never ask why, please don't let my dreams run dry.... www.mylapband.tk Dan Lester, Boise, Idaho, USA Dr. Ortiz, Tijuana, 4/27/03 355/323/212/190 Re: Re: throwing up >I think you have spent way too much time on the puke issue!

Guest guest Posted January 8, 2007 Report Share Posted January 8, 2007 Pat, both a vomit and a pb put a lot of pressure at the exact spot where the band is sutured - the junction of the stomach and esophagus. Both have casued slips, and both must be avoided. i can name 30 people who have had slips, some requiring band removal when they had not had ONE SINGLE vomit - only pb's. But you're sure right that we really have to avoid both - and FIX the problem causing them!! all this just encourages the esophagus problems with motility that i just addressed in another post.

Guest guest Posted February 7, 2007 Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 Get your fill DECREASED OR REMOVED. If it looks like coffee grounds it is blood....and that obviously is NOT good. YOU ARE TOO TIGHT. How do I know? Been there, done that. Get to your doctor NOW before you do more damage. And alcohol, coffee, and all sorts of other things add irritation to your system. To say nothing of the calories in alcohol.... CALL THE DOC RIGHT NOW. Please. dan Throwing Up > I haven't been active on this site, but now have a question for the group as this condition seems to be getting worse. I'm almost at my goal weight, but very restricted (which is good). The problem is that I have a lot of mucus and saliva build-up in the pouch, and many times it burns and I throw up. Sometimes this lasts for an entire day, and it look like coffee grounds when it comes up. Unfortunately, the only thing I've found that dissolves this substance is alcohol which I drink at night. I've tried hot liquids, but that usually doesn't help. > > Does anyone have a suggestion other than having my fill removed? I don't want to start over with trying to find a " sweet spot, " and I know Dr. Spiegel's office will insist on removing all the fill rather than just a couple of points. Any help?
