Hell yes every ounce of it is worth it. It's so little to give up all the crap that was killing us. I often think what I really saw in all those greasy fast foods I was eating and how much I hate that these places are killing the public. It is worth it 150% It is worth the few years I spent getting to goal to look in the mirror and love myself not feel like a disgrace. Yes it is totally worth it.

You have to see which of the things you need the most. Of course wellness visits and sick visits. I wouldnt weigh in too much on emergency room visits because in all reality unless you are a sickly person how many times do you patronize the ER. In the event you should have to go to the ER and you are admitted the out of pocket cost is usually waived. We have a 200 dollar copay for the ER which I have only used once and was admitted so it was a benefit. I dont go to the ER unless I am really that sick and can't get to my doctor which is usually never. Most insurance carriers cover minute clinics which are becoming very well in need so they are just as good as the ER if you get sick. If they think its serious enough then they will send you to the ER.

You will be on your way as soon as they correct the problem. Anytime you go to surgery your labs have to be ok or they will cancel them. That is why I always ask for a copy before I have any procedures done. Then I know what I am facing. Good luck in the future.

Its no more then a pin prick. In the time they numb you, you could have already gotten the fill. Lidocaine hurts more then the actual fill does. I would say go for it without the numbing.

Usually the 0 one is the most expensive. You have to look at each plan and choose the one that will cover your needs. Which one pays the most if that is what you need or if you can afford more out of pocket then go with a cheaper one. Each plan should out line what it covers.

Of course you have every right to know how much is in your band. You should always know that number. What if something happens and they need to take it out? You won't even know if they have taken out the proper amount. What if you decide to change doctors and you won't even be able to tell the other one how much is in your band. I would tell him I want to know how much is in there and how much you are putting in there. You have every right to know how much fluid is in your band.

Sorry about your losses it must have been difficult. Stay true to yourself now and come here for support. Most bandsters who fall off the wagon leave the site then regain. Keep us informed of your progress its the only way you can get to your goal by having support.

I dont think I will have to worry about getting to a 34 lol. I went from a 52 DD to a 42 D so I think my girls are done for now lol

All I can say is you have to want this. Pre op and post op diets are not forever. Just remember that.

Your body for one is going through a major calorie deficit. Even in normal dieting you will experience no energy with lack of food. You also had major surgery and it takes a while to get back to your old self. Your body is adjusting to less calories and other major upsets. Blood sugar ups and downs right now. It will happen.

I never spent a lot of money on bras as I was losing. I would go buy cheap ones from walmart until now. I love Lane Bryants bras they are very supportive.

Protein shakes are just liquid calories that do not keep you full. After you start eating regular food there is no need for shakes. Even at breakfast with a tight band you can manage some greek yogurt. The only time I would drink shakes is after a fill when I had to depend on liquids for the first 24 hours. Other then that heck no to the shakes.

I decided to buy this because I wanted something to cook everything in at one time. I havent been able to eat meat because it is such a hard time swallowing it. I just cooked a whole chicken in 40 minutes frozen. I got a perdue oven ready chicken and it was already seasoned. I tell ya it was so moist and juicy I ate it with no problems. I see lots of meals being cooked in here and all the fat settles at the bottom so you won't be eating it. Can't wait to cook a prime rib soon maybe for Christmas.

Getting mine out dec 11th its out patient nothing to worry about. 40% of weight loss surgery pts end up with gallbladder issues due to rspid weight loss you will be fine

I seriously dont see why she cares who post in the threads. Start your own! Who cares who hogs up the threads you don't have to read it. Seriously you think that people care that we/you/they hog up the threads? Such a sad life you must have Rikimom.

Big difference. Great job

Never put peroxide on an open wound. In past years its what we used. Now they know it breaks down body tissue. Does not help with anything. Clean something with it lol

I lost over Thanksgiving. Didn't eat all that crap. Was happy about my decision.

I go with prime rib if I want beef. It is usually more doable then steak.

174 this morning. Im under my goal whoop whoop

You have to be mentally ready for this. Go read my blog Real Talk from a Veteran bander. Get yourself back on track by not eating junk. Make a conscience effort to put good healthy food in your mouth. You spent the money so dont waste it.

There will be days like this. You have to just try to do other things to keep yourself occupied. Clean, drink lots of water. Go walk, brush your teeth ( yes that helps with hunger) start exercising.

It will get better. I promise. One day you will just not feel it. Congrats on your new life.
