Guest guest Posted June 20, 2005 Report Share Posted June 20, 2005 Thanks Mariya, I do think I will try to wait it out a couple more weeks. Besides the office would probably just say, sorry you can't get another fill yet. I was able to get those 2 lbs off again, just hope they don't creep back on.

Guest guest Posted June 21, 2005 Report Share Posted June 21, 2005 Sounds as if you'll need to be a very good advocate for yourself! You have the right to have your doctor answer all questions to your satisfaction, and explain what he is doing clearly. Both you and he will need to be very knowledgeable about banding for you to do well. You may even need to help teach him things, like the special needs of the VG band, if he is pretty inexperienced with it, as it seems. You should not be bending over to " help things along. " Just eat a bit less, eat slowly, and allow it to go through at it's own rate. It is dangerous to bend over and put all that back-pressure on the stomach and band. It also hurts the sphincter at the junction of the stomach and esophagus, which is already weakened in most obese people, and can lead to reflux. The band is to be installed in a VERY specific location and angle so that it works well. There is little room for error, or the pouch is too big and ineffective. The band surgeons are all taught this in the Inamed training, so there should be no variation. Many ports heal a bit tilted, but as long as they are accessible for fills, " tilted " is fine. If they are not accessible, another small outpatient surgery is needed to re-position the port and suture it down again. Please ask any question that you may have! There is no such thing as a " dumb " question - we are all learning more every day. The more you learn and know, the better chance you have to lose good weight, and to keep your band safe and healthy. You might want to print out the following information I got from Don Mills, the Inamed rep, when i asked about the VG band 15 months ago: (reposted from previous posts on Bandsters, SmartBandsters, and several other band sites) SAndy R ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Don Mills <don.mills@...> wrote: Subject: RE: new INAMED VG band Date: Wed, 14 Apr 2004 16:22:29 -0700 From: " Don Mills " " SAndy R " MoonshadowRN@... Hello Sandy, I'm afraid that some of the confusion was created by INAMED itself with regard to the name of this band. The Vanguard band is the old name for the LAP-BAND VG System. Same band. " Vanguard " had some negative implications. So our marketing dept gave the band the name LAP-BAND VG System. Turns out that is not a very good name either because it can be confused with the VBG procedure. The VG band is being sold in Europe and now in Mexico too, and soon in the US. However, the VG band is quite different from the 11 cm band that has been sold in Europe and Mexico. The 11 cm band continues to be available in those locations. We don't quote the circumference for the VG band as it depends how the band is measured. It cannot correctly be called either an 11 cm or a 12 cm band. The band is different enough that we really do not want to measure it in the way we measure the 9.75 cm and 10.0 cm bands. In any case the band is longer (when open) than 12 cm. But please do not refer to it as either an 11cm or a 12 cm band! The VG band has been misquoted by surgeons and others as a 11 cm band. This is incorrect and probably comes from confusion with the 11 cm band sold internationally but not in the US. The LAP-BAND VG is available in the US to all band surgeons and also now in Mexico. Several have already been installed in both the US and in Mexico. The fill capacity is 10 cc. The first 3.5 cc only fills the band tubing and do not increase restriction or inflate the band at all. Therefore, fist fills are generally in the 4.0 - 5.0 range. The indications for the LAP-BAND VG are generally for patients with BMIs larger than 45, OR patients with larger anatomy (i.e. thicker gastric walls and/or substantial omentum), patients that may have more fat in the immediate band area and for the pars flaccida procedure when the additional tissues that are enclosed within the band are larger than usual. The surgeon will make the decision as to which band is appropriate for a particular patient. The above indications do not mean that patients with the 10 cm band or the 11 cm band have an incorrect band. It also does not mean that a surgeon might choose to use the LAP-BAND VG System when he/she could have chosen the 10 cm band.

Guest guest Posted June 21, 2005 Report Share Posted June 21, 2005 It's so interesting how doctors do fills differently. My doctor says that if after a fill you don't notice restriction after 5 days, its not going to change much, and to come back in for more fill. I'm currently waiting out a really big fill (from 5 to 8) to see if I need a smidge of unfill - I've had reflux twice in four days since my fill, but both times were when I took my pills really close to bed time.

Guest guest Posted June 21, 2005 Report Share Posted June 21, 2005 We have often seen that a fill can take 1-2 weeks to kick in. all the very busy, longterm docs have seen this phernomina, althoughy there is no reasonable explanation we have come up with. There have also been reports on every boards for years of people getting a tiny fill more within a week or two of a first one, and then having a major OVERfill, resulting in needing to have the entire fill removed for a good perios of time. It's is suspected then that both fills seemed to " take effect " at once, and it was far too much. Sure wish we could figure all this out! Band knowledge continues to improve and evolve, and we are far from knowing everything! I always suggest procedding cautiously with fills, and Inamed teaches that a wait of 4 weeks or so between fills is very wise. Also, the point of the band is NOT " feeling restriction " - it is weight loss. It is the weight loss that determines if you need another fill, and you cannot see progress in this area for at least 2-3-4 weeks after a fill. Many lose fine simply by getting fill sooner, and do not FEEL any " restiction. " at all. Most of my own clients are this way, and many I talk with. It's good to never take any meds, eat, or drink ANYthing within an hour (at the least) of bedtime, especually with a tight fill. Many need to stop solids 2-3 hours or more before bedtime to avoid reflux, which is dangerous in a number of ways. Hope this fill turns out to be great!

Guest guest Posted August 4, 2005 Report Share Posted August 4, 2005 Well, you could be too tight - hard to tell at the moment. Can you swallow fluids, at least? One episode of foaming doesn't tell us much. The stoma swells within an hour or so of the fill, so there is not a great way to tell how a fill will be. The best test is to have 1/2 cup of yogurt or applesauce aftere the fill. Water alone is not a good test, as it should always go through. thr only thing water can tell is if you are totally blocked off. " Sliming " is when you have eaten too much or forgottten another of the rules, and your pouch and stoma are unhappy. Your salivary glands start pouring out thick saliva to try to " lubricate " the problem through, but this is the LAST thing a Bandster needs, as the saliva has nowhere to go if you are full or your stoma is blocked with food, and all the saliva will come back up, with or without a barf. Have only fluids for a day or so and see how you are. If you cannot get in at least 64 oz a day, or cannot advance to solid foods over the next few days, then you are too tight and need a bit out. You always want to have as little stress (fill) on the stomach as you can have to still lose slowly - never the largest fill you can try to get away with. Sandy R > I just got my 3rd fill.

Guest guest Posted August 4, 2005 Report Share Posted August 4, 2005 Mariya, Put a warm heating pad on your chest for 20 mi at a time, several times tonight. Try to sip warm fluids, as you are getting dehydrated by now, and this can cause further swelling. Try like 1/2 tsp at a time. Hot tea with lemon is ideal. I'm betting you do need an unfill, and please get it tomorrow - don't try to get thru the weekend. After the unfill, have fluis only for 24 hrs so your stoma can rest and heal. Trying solids will only further irritate it and delay healing. Overfills are not fun, but they are only a small, temporary glitch easily taken care of (if you don't wait too long) . You'll be right back on track soon. SAndy r > > Well, you could be too tight - hard to tell at the moment. Can you > > swallow fluids, at least?

Guest guest Posted August 5, 2005 Report Share Posted August 5, 2005 Thank you to everyone for your advice. I had a sleepless nigth that I would not wish upon my worst enemy. Went to the Dr.'s office for an unfil. This was not my Dr. but his associate. When he took out what was in the band, which was supposed to be about 6.5cc - it turned out that it was more like 8cc! So now I'm back down to just under 6cc and seem to be feeling much better - at least for now. Gonna try to get some sleep. But the lesson learned is that you should always make sure you know how much is in the band and that your Dr. is careful in measuring that... Thanks again.

Guest guest Posted October 13, 2005 Report Share Posted October 13, 2005 My boys with implants still get ear infections just like any other kid on the street. I'm not sure if they're more apt to get them because of the implant or not. BUT, I have noticed that one of my boys has thinner skin over his internal part, and his skin is more easily irritated. Even though he falls asleep with his CI on, I make sure to take it off at night to give the skin a chance to " rest " , too. A very few times, moreso in the beginning, I've put topical antibiotic on his implant site, just to help his skin when irritated. Hope your ear infection gets better quickly! --Karin, mom to (CII 11/01), and Tommy (90K 5/04) www.bionicboys.blogspot.com BEA Volunteer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 13, 2005 Report Share Posted October 13, 2005 Although I do not have an implant, (my daughter will soon be receiving one) I know how scary it is to HAVE to take antibiotics when you are pregnant. What antibiotic did they prescribe? Doctors are very good about prescribing low dosage antibiotics (or whatever the correct terminology would be) as long as they know that you are pregnant or nursing. They don't want something to happen as much as you don't. When I was pregnant with both of my children, I had upper respiratory infections with both pregnancies that didn't go away until after they were born! I think I had two rounds of antibiotics with my second child and she turned out fine. I also took antibiotics with my first child. Although she was born deaf, I was assured that the antibiotics that I took did not cause the deafness. I always made sure that the doctor knew I was pregnant and I always asked just to be sure that we both knew that whatever was prescribed would not hurt the baby. They should tell you that it will take longer for the infection to stop since you are pregnant, but that is because your resistance is down and you can't take the " good stuff " to kill the infection, so don't be alarmed if it seems like it is taking forever to start feeling better. I am sure that those who currently have CI's can reassure you that your CI is fine. And don't worry about the antibiotics. Your baby will be fine, your CI will be fine and you will feel better in no time too! Congratulations on your baby! ________________________________ From: [mailto: ] On Behalf Of sdee244 Sent: Wednesday, October 12, 2005 8:19 PM Subject: HELP HI, I am new to this group and I have question for all of you.

Guest guest Posted October 13, 2005 Report Share Posted October 13, 2005 It sounds like you have a very mild infection and it will probably go away with the antibiotics you are taking. If the infection can be contained and not spread to the implant, it will likely not need to be explanted. Be extra careful and keep a close watch for any adverse changes to the infected area. If you observe any - contact your surgeon immediately - do not dalay and allow it to become staph infected. Has your doctor taken a sample of the infected area and sent it to a lab? Insist that he does this. I am speaking from experience. It happened to me a just over a year ago - and they had to remove the implant and subsequently implanted in my other ear. Please take care of this - it can become very serious. > > HI, I am new to this group and I have question for all of you. I > recently was diagnosed with an ear infection..

I don’t know how the discharge upgrade system works, but there’s a three-year statute of limitations for those petitioning boards for correction of military records.

You’re correct about the possibility of waiving the three-year window. I was of the impression that they only did it in years when the Cubs won the Series. My concern is that the BCMRs and related boards seem to epitomize the credit card commercial where the people answer unconditionally “NO!” to every request, no matter the merit of the plaintiff’s petition. I’ve been “behind the door” on such rulings while concentrating on my own litigation, and wasn’t aware that the Federal Judiciary has come down on the side of Veterans so often as it evidently has. It’s nice to have “friends” with the requisite clout to force the DoD to actually do the correct things, rather than its putting its institutional interests before those of servicemembers. ÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷ ‘‘I have never killed a man, but I have read many obituaries with great pleasure.’’ —Clarence Darrow ÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷ •> •> •> •> •> •> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 26, 2005 Report Share Posted October 26, 2005 I got my records changed from " General Under Honorable " to " Honorable " through the BCMR. This was granted, six years ago. There has been another instance where a former marine just got his upgraded to honorable, approx. 2-3 months ago. I believe posted this information. To my knowledge, if this attempt fails (BCMR), the only recourse a person has is to hire an attorney - one may as well jump on the suit with Mark Zaid, considering it's a class action of either 250.00 or 500.00 to participate, which will be far cheaper then obtaining a personal lawyer. (IMHO).

Guest guest Posted January 13, 2006 Report Share Posted January 13, 2006 Dear Usha, The only suggestion I now have is that you and your son start a local group. I'm not sure how you would go about this, but I know in California that Susie Linquist has been teaching immunics in the street, and manages to draw a small crowd for each class. The classes are 20 minutes long. It doesn't have a have to be happening for you in order to teach it, though I know it is happening for your son anyway. Best wishes and good luck. Let us know how it goes. At 09:25 PM 1/11/2006 +0800, you wrote: >Dear Bayard, >I am not feeling well and I want to do immunics to cure my cancer.

Guest guest Posted January 17, 2006 Report Share Posted January 17, 2006 As for side affects, I am not sure how you and Kayden communicate, sign language, etc. But try hand and body sign, i.e. take a bananna and bite it, then rub your tummy and make a happy face and say mmm.... Take a bite of a pickle and make a sour face, etc. That might help, ask your physician, books with pictures are a BIG HELP!!! Your local public library should have some information for you and Kayden to look at. Keep us posted on how things are going!!!

Guest guest Posted February 17, 2006 Report Share Posted February 17, 2006 My husband was/is against it. He thought I was doing it for vanity, and that he loved me the way I was. I said if he loved me he'd realize I'm doing this for my health, and support me trying to make myself healthy. It comes down to you; what do you think you should do, what do you need to do? I came to this decision after trying everything under the sun. I know I'm not going to be a model when this is all said and done. BUT I will be able to run and play with my kids, get on rollercoasters again, go to Hawaii and not have to pay for 2 airplane seats! Maybe he is afraid that with the new you, you won't want him anymore; that you will see things about him you never noticed before. Maybe he is just insecure about your relationship? Ask him.Kim Kim Clatworthy "You leave smoke in your footprints and heads reeling. Torment their heart and soul, just by being in the room--You're not the type of girl to sit back and just take it." On Fri Feb 17 17:18 , 'sunshinepca' <sunshinepca@...> sent: I HAVE BEEN LOOKING INTO THIS FOR A WHILE. AND WHEN IFOUND DR.A I WAS SO EXCITED. I FINALLY GOT APPROVED FOR THE LOAN. I TOLD MY FIANCE WHAT I WANTED TO DO AND HE GOT UPSET, HE SAID I LOVE YOU THE WAY YOU ARE AND I DON'T WANT YOU TO DO THIS. HE SAID IF YOU CAN'T LOOSE IT NATURALLY THEN IT IS NOT MENT TO BE.HE DOSEN'T WANT ANYTHING BAD TO HAPPEN TO ME PLUS HE HAS READ OF STORIES WHERE THE BAND SLIPS AND HE THEN SAID YOUR GONNA SPEND 8,000 ON THIS AND THEN IT SLPIS THEN WHAT, OR HE SAYS WE LIVE IN WASHINGTON STATE AND HE IS IN MEXICO WHAT ABOUT THESE FILL HOW OFTEN DO YOU DO THEM, CAUSE YOU HAVE TO FIGURE IN A PLANETICKET EVERYTIME. I WAS SOOOOO EXCITED, BUT NOW I DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO. HE IS SO AGAINST IT. I UNDERSTAND HE IS WORRIED ABOUT ME,BUT I GUESS I THOUGHT HE WOULD BE AS EXCITED AS I AM. HE SAID IF I DO GO HE WILL NOT BE HAPPY AND HE REFUSES TO GO WITH ME. SO ANYBODY HAVE ANY HELPFULL THOUGHTS? CRISSY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
