Avatar n tn I had lap band surgery about 2 years ago. I have lost over 100 pounds. I exercise 4-5 times a week for approximately 90 minutes. I do cardio, water aerobics, wt. training, spinning, yoga, body pump, and "boot camp" training. My biggest problems continue to be that I still use food as my drug of choice and have a problem feeling satisfied when I can't eat enough to medicate my pain.

Avatar f tn In August of 2006 I had the lap band put in and I was almost 300 lbs. I had my lap band put in and am now 189 lbs. Now that said, I had my lap band removed 2 weeks ago. I followed all the rules that should get you healthy and keep you healthy with the lap band inside you.

Avatar n tn Unlike other weight loss surgeries which are completely permanent, Lap-Band is a reversible procedure meaning the Lap-Band device can be removed any time. So what are the possible complications and risks associated with the Lap-Band system? The risk of mortality during and after the Lap-Band surgery is very rare as compared to other types of weight loss surgery that has higher risk of death.
Avatar m tn About a month and a half ago I went on a 2 day cocaine binge sniffing (then eating powder cocaine mixed with NSAID). I think I had a Transient Ischemic Attack and the left side of my body was full of tingling and pins and needles. After about 30 min to an hour the symptoms went away and I was fine until two weeks later. Two weeks later my left toes felt like it had a band around it and the tingling was out of control. The tingling moved to the back of my leg a little as well.
Avatar f tn Do not get a lap band done because it will eventually erode your stomach, plus what is the band really made of? I think the sleeve is the best way to go now, I would do that if I had the money....
Avatar n tn My daughter had lap band surgery. Two weeks later the lap band had to be removed because of infection. After the lap band was removed it came to my attention that her pre operative lab work had shown she had a UTI. My daughter is 20 years old, weighed 166 pounds with no health problems. We have heard of no one else who had to have their lap band removed this soon after surgery because of infection. It was not the incision sites that were infected but the lap band itself.

Avatar f tn I've always suffered from binge eating. 3 months ago I tried Meridia, and it was wonderful. I do not like to take medicines...therefore I stopped taking Meridia, but sometimes I take one for a few days when I believe I'm eating too much....but as soon as i stop taking it, I go back to the same old habits. Do you know of something similar that I can take w/o the same side effects...
1396756 tn?1283523477 Often binge eating is an emotional thing, we find confort in food. You hear people talk about their "comfort foods" these are things they eat when upset or sad. The Paxil IS helping you and this is why you no longer have to eat to feel better....good for you! One thing to help lose the weight is to eat every 3-4 hours, healthy snacks. Fresh fruit, handful of nuts, yogurt, chicken, vegetables, and exercise. Eating every few hours keeps your metabolism at it's peak.
Avatar f tn Try taking a 15 minute brisk walk before eating, then again about 30 minutes after eating. 5. Journal everything! What food you bought, what you drank, ate, did for exercise. By doing this, maybe you can see when youre most likely to binge eat. I'm telling you, it isn't easy... but it is doable. Track everything, journal it. If you have to have a snack, eat the healthiest, low carb thing available.

768754 tn?1373918737 Are there any known contraindications of lap band procedure with a Hep C diagnosis? I initially found out about my diagnosis by going to my doc and getting a second opinion on the Lap band procedure. My blood pressure was high and he wanted to up my atenolol. I advised my doc I am too fatigued now and would not want to up the med if possible. He looked at my past labs and noted my liver enzymes have been abnormal for some time and ordered a Hep panel. I'm certainly glad he did.
