Guest guest Posted March 23, 2000 Report Share Posted March 23, 2000 Boy, I feel your pain !! I too have enough gas to fly the Hindenburg !! I throw up almost daily. Doc says it should wear off soon. My date was Feb 3rd. I know I eat too fast. Trying to use a timer in front of me. Also trying to count my " chews " to at least 50 to slow down.

Guest guest Posted March 23, 2000 Report Share Posted March 23, 2000 Hello Theresa, I miss you too. I hear you are going to the gym with Lyssa, That's Great!!! I think you will really enjoy it. Plus it's another step in keeping the weight off, for good. You will lose the weight. The chest pain thing, Maybe you are eating to fast?? I do get that but only when I eat to fast. I know it's hard to eat slow. I still have to remind myself to slow down. When I feel myself getting that way I actually have to look at the clock and time myself for chewing and swallowing. It works for me. You should give it a try, it wouldn't hurt. I can't eat that wonton soup because of the same thing I will throw up. For me, it's the pork or beef, it's the meat in the wonton that does it to me. so I will get the egg drop soup. I've tried making it at home and it's just not the same. But don't forget just because you can't eat something this month dosen't mean next month or even a couple months you won't. I can eat lots of different stuff now that I couldn't before. Although I would rather die than to eat rice again.LOL I have some beautiful picture's of you in the hospital.LOL Hopefully I will see you soon to give them to you. And call me anytime if you need anything. I hope everything is going good otherwise. Pam ________________________________________________________________ YOU'RE PAYING TOO MUCH FOR THE INTERNET!

Guest guest Posted March 23, 2000 Report Share Posted March 23, 2000 Wow almost daily? Thats too bad but hope you do " outgrow " or it " wears " off soon for you. I can't even imagine. Another tip for people eating too fast is try putting down your utensil between bites. Lyssa Re: hi all From: mediadir4@... Boy, I feel your pain !! I too have enough gas to fly the Hindenburg !!

Guest guest Posted March 24, 2000 Report Share Posted March 24, 2000 You have the two pointers to stop the vomiting, you just have to use them! Try reading between bites. Take a bite, savor by chew, chew, chew, then read a couple of pages then take a bite, savor by, etc., etc., etc. Hugz, Sandy in MA From: mediadir4@... Boy, I feel your pain !!

Guest guest Posted March 25, 2000 Report Share Posted March 25, 2000 You just went through a major life changing surgery -- on your stomach, not your mind...at first it is very tough to slow down and CHEEEEWWW.

Guest guest Posted March 25, 2000 Report Share Posted March 25, 2000 Thanks for the kind words. I had a good day today and didn't throw anything. I know I need to chew more. I'm trying to count and put my fork down in between and all of those things. It will just take time I guess. No matter what I still think that this surgery was the best thing I have ever down for myself. Casual acquaintences like the gas station attendant are commenting on my weight loss. It's so nice to see the look on their faces. It's only been 7 1/2 weeks and I've lost about 40 - 45 pounds. Luckily the throwing does not make me sick. The food just comes back up and I'm fine. My diabetes is so much better. I don't use insulin injections at all and my pills have been cut in half. Also, the arthritis in my knees that had me so crippled is amazingly better. No more coming home from work in tears becvasue of teh pain. I feel like I've been to one of those " faith healers " .. I've been SAVED ha....glory be... can I have an AMEN??? hehehehe Seriously, I am very grateful for the changes in my life and it can only get better!!!

Dawn Hi all well, today I go to my DR. to talk about scheduling pre-op test and as usual I am scared, I had the test scheduled once and canceled them as I felt I wasn't ready, because I am disabled and have Medicaid and Medicare, I don't need approval, they just do the surgery, so from the time, I saw the DR. the first time it was feasible that I could have had surgery in a month from then, I think things went to fast for me, so I panicked, so I hope this time I can go through with it!

Guest guest Posted April 28, 2000 Report Share Posted April 28, 2000 Norm, I am having my surgery in Augusta, Maine. I didn't go for pre-op test I went for the test you have before you are approved, I thought they were called pre=op but found out yesterday they wasn't. I am approved really ,but I still had to have those screening test. I am not afraid of those test , I am afraid of having the surgery. But I am plugging along, hoping I can overcome the feelings, and not get to the operating room and jump off the table and run, to the nearest Chinese Restaurant. Ruthann Pre-opDR.

Guest guest Posted April 29, 2000 Report Share Posted April 29, 2000 I also had RNY. The reason I asked is that I met a woman from Maine who had the banding done and the doctor botched the job.

Guest guest Posted July 29, 2000 Report Share Posted July 29, 2000 At the age of 10 months they didn't do ABR. As we were not aware of that we didn't ask for it and the audiologist didn't recommend it to us as she thought his hearing is normal. My son had few (5) words before he had his aids on. His day care teacher was concerned about his hearing, as he was not responding when she call with his name unless she raises her voice. He is not deaf, he is hard of hearing.

We have no idea what caused his loss. He doesn't have any risk factors. He had bad ear infections when he was 8 months old and had high fevers around 105F. But the audiologist says ear infections cannot cause permanant sensorineural hearing loss. >> At 10 months old the audiologist should have done an ABR, and not tried to test in the booth. Any child at 10 months is too young to be tested in a booth. They just don't know how to respond yet. Maybe someone else out there knows more than I do about this, but I believe that ear infections and high fevers both can cause permanent sensorineural hearing loss. I'm concerned that your audiologist may be feeding you wrong information. Suzette Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 31, 2000 Report Share Posted July 31, 2000 Hi Suzette, Thank You. Your words are so encouraging. My son is wearing PHONAX programmable hearing aids since Dec 1999 and doing great with them. He already started talking and he goes to Atlanta Speech School. He is a very bight active little boy. He has moderate to severe in his right ear and severe to profound in his left ear. Now he can hear almost everything with his hearing aids on. I am very interested in some medical treatments ( like taking some pills or some surgery) and I know right now we dont have any such treatments. Thanks again, Sirisha. ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
