  1. Super frustrated! My doctors office calls today and tells me they won't take my insurance anymore. So now if I want to see him I would have to pay out if pocket! Well I can't do that so now I have to find a new doctor! Only 6 months after surgery I am extremely uncomfortable with the entire idea of that. Has anyone else switched doctors?
  2. I am stalled for sure and have been for almost 2 months! The scale goes up 2 pounds down 2 pounds constantly. I have about 6.5 cc on my band and I am always under 1000 calories. My doctor keeps saying its just a phase and it will just start falling off again but it's very discouraging
  3. First fill today 4 cc's it didn't hurt but it was a strange sensation:) doctor said to come back in a month. Hoping I can drop as many pds as possible between now and then!
  4. I feel the same as you I keep going up and down the same 2 pounds! It's so frustrating! My first fill is 2/8 I'm hoping that helps me lose...
  5. We are all in this together! Hang in there!
  6. PBTANGO Glad somebody else said this:) I think mine feels kinda freaky as well! LOL I laid on my stomach for the first time over the weekend while I was doing yoga, not a good idea. Not major pain but it hurt.....so I won't do that again for awhile!
  7. PBTango when I try to look you up on My fit pal it says to find friend by email? Us there a way to search by name?

    Hi everyone! I am an RN and I work for a skilled nursing facility! Nice to see a group of "nurse" banders:) Just had my surgery done on 12/21/12! I am a wife and a mother of 2 wonderful little boys!
  9. Hi everyone! Banded on 12/21/12 best decision I have ever made:) Started working out yesterday nothing crazy just some cardio with wii fitness! It feels great! Is anyone else using my fit pal? I have been and I really like it to track what I am eating BUT i have to say it freaks me out a little bit to see all the nutrients I am lacking in like potassium and vitamin A. I am hoping this improves once my diet is upgraded! I am amazed at what little bit of food I eat and it satisfies me:)
