Between a size 14/16. A few more Lbs and ill be in my 14 size jeans. It's a struggle but take it one day at a time.

Is Coffee Going To Ruin My Weight Loss?
KristenC replied to Jellyfish's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I drink one 8-10oz cup of coffee a day before breakfast in the morning. I use reg sugar and reg creamer, flavored ones too. I have to have my coffee the real way. I am still losing weight doin have to say coffee hasn't affected my weight loss but I didn't cut back. I use to drink 3-4 cups a day and now I try and have 1. Once in a while I'll have 2. -
So I was banded May 2011. I have Cigna insurance and they didn't cover the assistant that helped the surgeon during my surgery. They also had to repair a paraesophageal hernia during my surgery, which they never mentioned to me anytime after. I only knew I had the hernia because I got charged for that as well on my hospital bill. Do I have to pay for these? Is there anyway I can fight these charges?

Has anyone been slacking like I have been for the last 3 months? I have been slipping back into my old habits and I need to get out of it. I'm also trying to start a family as well, but I think it's smart if I lose 40 more lbs before I do that. I have had no motivation recently.

I've had 5 fills since May. I snack in between meals. I haven't been drinking water like I should' I've been drinking lots of coffee. I eat more than I should per meal. I've stayed the same weight and I know it's my fault. I don't go to the gym as often as I should, but when I do go I workout for min of 30 minutes. I would love to lose 40 lbs by the summer time which is very doable and I know I can do it. Plus it will be good for trying to conceive.

How many CC is your Lap Band Filled until you're not hungry?
KristenC replied to Carfigure's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Honestly I don't know how many cc's I have in my band. I just got my 5th fill 2 weeks ago and I can't say this is the first time I've really felt restriction. Two days after my fill I actually had a stuck episode. I guess I didn't fully chew either a piece of carrot or squash. I def get fuller quicker now. This also makes me realize how much I have been over eating and how much everyone else around me over eats. There are days I'm not even hungry but I eat because I know my body needs the calories. -
Where are you from?

Dover, NJ -
I had my surgery back in May. I recently got a bill for a hernia repair. Nobody ever mentioned anything to me about haveing a hernia. Has this happened to anyone? I see my surgeon tomorrow and don't know how to bring it up to him.
-
Thank you!!
-
I guess his assistant it was billed under doesn't take my insurance so it goes through out of network benefits...
-
I just can't believe the surgeon didn't tell me. Thanks!
-
I really don't really feel any different that I did before.
-
I go for my first fill tomorrow and I'm nervous. What's it feel like? Does it hurt? I can only have liquids for 24 hours after my fill...not so bad.
-
You should be fine. I have my fill on Wednesday amd they told me I can eat breakfast and lunch, but after the fill I'll be on liquids for 24 hours.
