Dr. Miles or Dr. Schmitt patients

Jason... I'm so happy for you! I am glad everything went well. I am two months away from completing my BCBS requirements, Dr. Schmitt is my surgeon. It helps take the concerns away when I hear stories from you and others on this site. Congratulations and enjoy your new journey.

Jason, did you get something to make protein shakes? You've got to start getting your protein at this stage.

Wow Jason, sounds like you are doing great!!

Well I had my first stomach virus post banding Wednesday night/Thursday Morning! Not a pretty site. I had taken some pics of a baby on Monday who had came down with it on Tuesday. Whew that stuff travels fast! I was so scared I was going to do something to my band, I took the anti-nausea meds and they didnt help. I threw up for about 12 hours! But I did drink some fluids about noon yesterday and I kept them down and then had dinner and kept it down so I guess all is well with my band. I will pay close attention to it the next few days to be sure. But it was rough. I am more sore today than I was after the surgery....LOL!

I hope everyone else is doing well!!

That's what I mean, Jason, tomorrow, start getting your protein. Are you taking your vitamins, and do they have iron? I was very lightheaded until I realized I wasn't taking any iron. I got some chewable flinstones with iron to take along with my regular vitamins and felt better immediately.

Oh my! So sorry you had to go through that. That scares me more than anything, throwing up a lot. I would think you would feel it if it slipped, though. I guess. Wouldn't you?

Yes aprilapple, I remember you. You had on that cute little black dress. I was the blond with the blue uniform on. ( sitting in the back) I always hide out. So do you have a surgery date yet? Who is your Dr? Keep me updated.... xoxoxoxoxxoxo :-)

Gosh time is just flying by. I will be banded in 9 days. Can't wait. I am so thankful that I am getting all this done before my husband leaves. I am such a baby when I am sick. God has been so good to me .(WELL TO US ALL THAT IS) This is the best sight ever!!!!! I let everybody know about this web sight at that n. class..... Thanks for everything you guys....

i got some fat free milk today to mix it in also. and yes im taking witamins. two of them a day. just like i was told to do. they have 90% of my iron i need daily.

my wife had a bad dream last night. she dreamed i left are little girl by herself and went out to a party. i told her to stop thinking like that she knows i love her and the kids, and would never do anythink like that.

I remember you too! I remember thinking that you must work in the medical field and therefore very informed about about your surgery. I know about hiding out (black dress) I wear something black almost everyday. I will be banded 9/9 what about you? Dr. Schmtt is doing my surgery.
