Guest guest Posted April 29, 2007 Report Share Posted April 29, 2007 Try removing the screws to get the battery lid off. There is a little clip that fits into the end of the battery compartment that can be filed down a tiny bit with a nail file. On some units this part of the plastic gets stuck. Call the office M-F 8-4 at 1-800-224- 0242 and we can help you fix it real fast if you need assistance!

Guest guest Posted May 13, 2007 Report Share Posted May 13, 2007 Hi Donna, everyone has a different rule on this and I am pretty Sure Dr. Aceves says 2 hours. Some other say at least an hour, and yet others say 30 min. But if you think about it logically, the longer you wait to drink, the longer you stay full so I say at least an hour (that is hard I know, but so beneficial!!) It is so easy to get back into the bad habit of drinking with your meals, I struggle with it every day. Just today I ate 2 chicken strips and then forced myself to wait an hour and a half because I have been struggling with hunger and you know what? I drank 8 oz of water when I was supposed to and I didn’t eat again for another 5 hours. So that tells you my band is still working, I just have to work my band!

Guest guest Posted June 10, 2007 Report Share Posted June 10, 2007 I would talk to your doc about Immodium Liquid vs. IBS meds. Your diarrhea isn't from IBS so it may not help. Your diarrhea is likely from the antibiotics and the fact that you are taking in only liquids right now. IBS meds work for IBS symptoms. Your symptoms are likely for a different reason.

Guest guest Posted June 25, 2007 Report Share Posted June 25, 2007 I am going to call when the Dr. gets in and cancel the fill. She is still scared from the last overfill, so I think I feel more comfortable about cancelling it. I think it varies with her and sometimes, even long periods of times she seems to need a fill and then other times she seems well restricted. She has lost 42 lbs and seems to be losing small amounts, which is fine, we are in no hurry for loss as long as it keeps going down. She slimed at the restaurant yesterday and I thought oh my gosh we are leaving for a fill tomorrow. Then when I asked her about it she says she slimes a lot, which I did not know. Do you think she is drinking enought water. It has been over 100 degrees here. Alyce Re: question Yikes!!

Guest guest Posted June 25, 2007 Report Share Posted June 25, 2007 Hi Candyce, I was busy this weekend so I didn't respond to your earlier post about the sliming so here goes now. My experience is that sliming is because something is stuck - either because I didn't chew well, took too big a bite, or am eating too fast. The latter is a particularly bad habit that resurfaces when I forget to eat and then am too hungry when I do eat. (I never thought I'd be one of those people who forget to eat but it happens now...) The sliming is my body's attempt to lubricate and move something through. I get reflux when I'm overfilled rather than excessive sliming but I know from reading the boards that some people get lots of sliming when they're too tight. Anyway, those are the possible causes that I know about. And I have to say I agree with Sandy, she needs to fix whatever is causing the frequent sliming before getting more fill. Otherwise, there's a risk of causing excessive vomiting which can lead to slipping, or severe inflammation or something else nasty and difficult. Hope this helps, Liz in Bellevue, WA banded 10/26/05 -72 lbs. Candyce s wrote: > I am going to call when the Dr. gets in and cancel the fill.

Guest guest Posted June 25, 2007 Report Share Posted June 25, 2007 Agree completely with Sandy.....no fill if you're having trouble. Sliming is possibly due to being too tight. More likely, at least for me, it is due to eating too fast, too big of bites, or eating " bad things " . For me, pasta is a bad thing. It gets stuck. Same with bananas. Same with bread. When you find what the bad things are, don't eat them. Easy. No, really it is hard, as they may well be favorite things. But it is VERY important and often VERY hard to learn to change those old habits. Sliming is a reminder.

Guest guest Posted June 25, 2007 Report Share Posted June 25, 2007 The doc isn't scheduling fills regularly, far in advance, is he? I believe we should geet fills only when needed, never on any kind of set schedule. INO, this is begging for overfils and other trouble. When out loss has stalled for a few weeks, it's always tempting to run for more fill. but, imo, more fill should be last on tyhe list of things to do. First, review all these things: - eating resonably well? Decent band foods most (maybe 75-80%) of the time? - getting decent exercise? We just will not lose well without it. If we are not getting it, and run for more fill every time we stall briefly, this is almost a guarantee of getting too tight for safety. - enough fluids? 100 oz aday is a good goal, and more if it is very hot or we are exercising heavily. This really means sipping all day long, which the band LOVES. A steady hydration level helps minimize the normal variaton in the feeling of restriciton. - having NO trouble with eating, but just able to eat too much and not staying satisfied for 3-4 hrs after a good band meal ONLY IF all these things are ok, should we consider more fill. We always want to have as little fill as we can to still do well, never as much as we can try to tolerate.

Guest guest Posted June 25, 2007 Report Share Posted June 25, 2007 No the doc is not scheduling ahead of time. When Candyce felt she could eat bread she thought that maybe she needed a fill. It has been quite a while since her fill. It is always up to her when she thinks she needs one. I did not know about the sliming until she told me. I do not think it is too bad, I think with chicken and meat it happens, which is what she eats with meals. So anyway we will take your advice and wait. Her hair has really thinned out, but it seems to be coming back. She has a ton of stubs. She does well with protein, much better than before, so I think that is all ok. If it was not for these boards I would have freaked out over this hair thing, but I now know it will come back. What is funny it her bangs are dyed blonde and pink(she has almost black hair)and she showed me her stubs and they were all black. It looked a little scary kind of like black bugs in all that blonde and pink hair lol. Alyce Re: question The doc isn't scheduling fills regularly, far in advance, is he?

Guest guest Posted July 2, 2007 Report Share Posted July 2, 2007 One woman I met at a seminar told us that she was having elevated ETG's. She started having blood alcohol levels drawn, and a breath test done immediately after she did her urine. She kept this up for a couple of months. They finally seemed to pinpoint it on her new psych med. I can't remember the name of it, but it was one I never had heard before. > > I received a call today saying I have another positive etg.

Guest guest Posted July 3, 2007 Report Share Posted July 3, 2007 Ummmmm....HELLO....I'm a EtG expert and I'm in Sacramento! Heeheehee...What a JOKESTER I am! Well, there's always Skipper's "auto-brewery protocol" that I could dig up. But it never successfully diagnosed anyone as being an endogenous ethanol producer, so I wouldn't bother with that. Looking at the 1983 article I have on determining endogenous ethanol in blood and breath, I am wondering if the methods of testing they describe are achievable by any of us. Their focus is on breath testing. The methodology is GC-MS. But they describe a "freeze-trapped sample of breath". Sounds like something only done in a test lab and not something my friendly Quest Diagnostics staff would be familiar with! Anybody else got any ideas on this one? Maybe that UCSD toxicologist would have some insight. It's over my head. Lorie question I received a call today saying I have another positive etg. This time it was 1800, my highest.

Guest guest Posted July 3, 2007 Report Share Posted July 3, 2007 I attempted that in court to get another test and they contacted the state police crime lab toxicologist of whom didn't get the samhsa report as of the time and he as my post a long time ago said it was accurate , I called him after my case was over and now he is signing a different tune . But its Too late she is gone for good now..she is ok though so I am grateful she is with family , it could have been worse and she would be going thru a system that is rally screwy as far a bouncing thru foster care ect.. still sucks though because she wont talk to me because of the erroneous test results.

Guest guest Posted July 3, 2007 Report Share Posted July 3, 2007 diane everybody produces EtG exponentially from whatever endogenous alcohol they are exposed to or make...for me a place to start would be a %CDT in concert with EtG which would probably be normal...a good non lab affiliated toxicologist can help you sort this out...if you are off all meds being careful with exposure it is not you rather the false exponential variability of this highly sensitive non specific false test...regards,rdoetta5555 <doetta5555@...> wrote: I received a call today saying I have another positive etg.
