How does your doc decide how much to fill?
Louisianagirl replied to homew6kids's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I usually only get .2cc at a time. Mine varies certain times of the month. One day I can eat a lot and the next I will throw up. -
What to Look For when choosing your Doctor?
Louisianagirl replied to Hebber's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
You need to find out how much the fills aren going to be if you are cash pay. My Dr charges 40.00 a fill but for someone who went elsewhere for surgery (like Mexico) they will charge around 250.00 or better. Make sure to check into all that. -
Before and After pictures of plastic surgery
Louisianagirl posted a topic in Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery
I am interested in having a tummy tuck, arm lift, and breast lift. I thought it would be interesting if we start a before and after plastic surgery thread for pictures. -
Spouse not supporting the new you?
Louisianagirl replied to Boo Boo Kitty's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
Well I think he is starting to come around and see what I am talking about. I think he just thinks i will leave him or something but I love him and have too much to lose. I just want to stop feeling shy about getting undress in the front of my own husband that I have been with for 12 years. I think it would also spunk things up again like when we were younger...lol. -
Beginning of Abdominalplasty/Breast surgery
Louisianagirl replied to foodstampchamp's topic in Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery
I know you said you wanted a lift but how are they looking without the lift? Do you find you still need a lift with the implants? I have a consultation in Nov and I wanted a lift with implants and tummy tuck at the same time. I also want my arms done but I think I will wait longer on that. -
Just was dropping by to say HELLO to all the January Bandsters. Hope everyone is doing great! I had another fill and think I am back on track again.

Your most embarrassing fat moment (sad, funny, pathetic, turning points)
Louisianagirl replied to chameleon's topic in The Lounge
Last Summer my father told me to jump in the pool and make him a big title wave, that hurt so much. Thats when I decided to do something. It took me to lose 50lbs before he could tell I lost weight. It always hurted more when your family member said something about your weight, especialy the ones who don't have a weight problem. No one knows what it is like to have a weight problem if you don't have one. The other day my 7 year old daughter made my day, she said mom you are getting skinny. That felt so good!!! -
Should I Tell my Young Children about the Surgery?
Louisianagirl replied to cahollin's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I told my 7 year old daughter and she proberly told the whole school. She also trys to act like me when I eat, sometimes when things get stuck you grab your chest and she does the same thing. She says oh my chest hurts too and grabs her chest which she are I never done before being banded. It is really cute but you may just want to keep it to yourself that you are having surgery. -
How often do you weigh yourself?
Louisianagirl replied to lizster2007's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions

Struggling - How do you do it!?!?!
Louisianagirl replied to ragdollx19's topic in Fitness & Exercise
I was having the same problem. I work shift work, 2 weeks days and 2 weeks nights. I don't have a problem when I work nights but it is almost impossiable during the day cause I work 12 hrs a day. I have a small child that is in 2nd grade. She has homework and I need to fix Dinner. I will just have to get up with the (4:20ish) people. Thanks I didn't even think of that! -
I defintly needs some support right now. I have been on a plateau for about 6 weeks now. I have started walking 30 min a day and still nothing. I have slacked off on water, which I need to start getting my water in again. I am going for a fill tomorrow so I hope that does the trick.

POLL Should I have them redone to make them perfect... Breast pictures
Louisianagirl replied to princess_n_thep's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
You paid for them... the Dr. should have to fix them for you but, they really are not that bad. I just understand that you paid that kind of money for them the Dr should have to fix them. -
DOn't worry after surgery and after the healing, you will forget you even had surgery. Sometimes I forget about it until I take too big of a bite and then I remember. You really feel normal after, you can't tell that you have something in your body. Don't be scared. Just do what they tell you to do. Good Luck to everyone!
