Good Evening Septembies, Some of you know about my port flip problem. Today was my corrective surgery. Dr went in, repositioned it & re anchored it. Still never had a fill. Was given 1cc only to facilitate the procedure. Full food, zero restriction. Next appointment 11/19/12. Hopefully I'll get my first fill. Until l then, back to sefl discipline. :-\

Some of you are familiar with my port flip issue. Today was my procedure to correct this. Dr went back in, repositioned it & re anchored it. Still have not had my first fill. He gave me 1cc just to facilitate the procedure. Full food and still no restriction. Next appointment 11/19/12 for possible first fill...UGH.

Hello all my Septembies, Well my Band flip procedure is in a few hours and I can't sleep, after taking Ambien. Hopefully I will finally get my first fill while he's in there fixing me. I've started to misbehave in my eating habits. It's hard because i've not been able to utilize my band since I've had it...9/7/12. Weight loss has been on my own discipline. Im at 216.2 but running out of gas. I need help from my band. I ate Cheetos today and for me that is a no-no. Banded 9/7/12 231lbs, Goal 145lbs...221lbs as of 10/14/12

Definately Unjury unflavored! They also have other flavors I heard were good. I had your problem. Now I just add the unjury at every opportunity. Even to a pre made shake like a muscle milk. Just add a little extra. I mixed it into Trop 50 Orange juice and it was soooooo good. I highly recommend it.

I updated that today but it's only showing on the website. I am now 216.2 as of this morning. Friend me on MFP. I could use all the support I can get. Tell your friends try friend me. lol Just make they are sharing the diary, at least with the friends list. Banded 9/7/12 231lbs, Goal 145lbs...221lbs as of 10/14/12

You can come over to MFP and check on your September Banders. Banded 9/7/12 231lbs, Goal 145lbs...221lbs as of 10/14/12

I just emailed your request to my best friend. She is no longer in 2x. I don't think that she has gotten rid of them yet.

It happened to my best friend three years ago. She lost alot of weight but was extremely ill. Almost too late by the time they realized what was going on. Her body was rejecting it...almost killed her. This year she got the sleeve.

I hope everything went well for you today. Welcome to the family! Please come and check out My Fitness Pal. More help getting through the "post op" time. Some people call it Banding Hell. Come and look at our food diaries, curreny and past. If you like it feel free to add me. Keep us posted! Banded 9/7/12 231lbs, Goal 145lbs...221lbs as of 10/14/12

. Dannon makes a Light-n-Fit GREEK in 3 flavors (Vanilla, S'Berry, Blueberry). It's new. Good protein, low cals. I like those better than Fage. Fage does have a much better variety...sprinkle with Grape Nuts cereal on top...Sooooo Good! Please try it, compare the nutritional value, I haven't done that yet.

I say don't do it. I noticed when I do I don't really drop weight. I kinda use that number to make sure I don't gain anything...will be more like maintenance when I get to where I need to be. I think you should stay focused on you pre exercise calories and carb intake mostly. But don't stop the exercise. I love MFP!

Most Surgeons will require you to go to their q&a sessions. The two surgeons I decided to work with came highly recommended thru word of mouth. Both were "in network" with my insurance. I made my choice due to the "Center of Excellence" requirement my insurance had. I went to q&a seminars sponsored by both surgeons. Alot of hospitals now have Bariatric Departments. You can also get names there. If you don't know of anyone who had this surgery, between LBT and your insurance carrier you will find several surgeons to choose from.

@Redredreba: First, congrats on making the decision to change your life for the better. If I were where you are now I would first look at my medical insurance. They all have different qualifications for bariatric surgery, IF they cover it. Find out what the specific requirements for bariatric surgery are for your insurance. That is the most important thing at this point if you are using medical insurance to pay for it.

I have it but never did it. I'm doing TAPOUT XT...Brutal! lol Banded 9/7/12 231lbs, Goal 145lbs...221lbs as of 10/14/12
