    Anniversary and Before/After

    You look like two different people What a change!!
  3. I have never been there and it doesn't sound like I missed anything the way people talk about that place. If this place turns sour it will be hard to come back. But Alex said he won't let that happen... PS: Looks like we posted at the same time Alex. Perfect timing!

    Surgery Monday at 11

    Made me laugh. My ride home was an adventure also. Then I had terrible back pain for a couple of days.
  5. I'm glad he is a bandster too. Puts me at ease.
  6. I have no reason not to believe Alex has our best interest at heart. But I gotta say mixing lap band with other surgeries makes me nervous too. I just know non banders are gonna come over and mock us. Maybe not at first, but ultimately they will (I think). Maybe I am just being negative though and things will be fine.

    Emotional Roller Coaster

    Well ladies it wasn't an emotional roller coaster for me at all. I was relieved I was finally doing something for my weight I could stick with. I was thrilled!
  8. So when we hit the "new content" button is it going to pull up posts about other weight loss surgeries or just lap band surgeries? Cause I really don't want to wade through posts about sleeve or rny ?

    I suspect someone will have to do this for her........
  12. For two years I have thought my high weight was 379. Well, during a trip to the doctor last week I found out it was actually 389! How could I have been so stupid? I lost ten pounds in just a moment lol! I need to update my profile with this new weight loss.

    No more lap bands in my area?

    I was thinking about the logic of docs not wanting to deal with the aftercare of a lap band patient. I don't know the answer. But I do know my doc charges my insurance about $400 for a fill. That coupled with an office visit takes about 15 minutes. That may not be good money to a surgeon but it seems okay to me.
  14. The doc didn't do it wrong I did. 389 has been in my file the whole time. For some reason I remembered it as 379 and that is what I wrote down over 2.5 years ago. Now I feel so SKINNY!!
  15. It takes me about 2 weeks for my stomach to adjust to a fill. So for me, no. But many others do as you can see.
  16. I saw a commercial for the Maury show a while back. This 29 year old woman had nine kids by nine different men. I am anti gov too mostly. But they created the welfare state and they need to fix it in my opinion.
  17. As is so often the case in America. I swear you ought to have to pass a test to have children anymore.

    Pain & no restrction

    Let us know what the pain is. I hope it is something minor for your sake.
  19. Should anybody really be eating candy anyway? Bad for your teeth, glucose levels and weight. But I agree she shouldn't be giving notes to little kids.

    Affordable Care Act

    Do you have a beard?
  21. I know this is an exciting day for you! Good luck and I hope things go well!
  22. I am just now running into this same situation and I hope I can find a new doc. I really respected my old doc but he is no longer doing the band and wants his patients to see a new partner. If I have to change docs anyway I would rather see someone closer than he.
