December 2012 --- Band Buddies Unite!
RNMellie replied to LadyLeigh2012's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
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? -

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 -

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! -

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:)
