I want to get a fill because I can eat what I want but I need fill info no one will help me.

My port is just above the bellybutton on the left side. I have never felt it except when it itched while it was healing. Oh and after the one fill I had:)

Well I am ready and now I know I have to go to TJ to get my second fill. I have no experience there and I am kind of scared. From what I have been reading it seems as if Dr Kuri is my guy. Could someone please give me his number to get an appointment. I would like to go on the 20th of Dec. And I don't know how to get intouch or how to get there. So thanks for the info in advance.

Great News! I am so glad to hear it Penni!!!!

Hey everyone...wow I have been mesmorised with the drama of this post...it reads like a whacky novel. I am never going to be sick again.... I miss to much. I must admit though Margret seems a little loopy. She talks about random things but I just couldn't turn away it was like watching a train wreck!

I am soooooo sorry for all the drama and pain all of you are going through... and I ditto what the previous person said I am glad I did not have the misfortune to use that DR.

I don't have any hanging skinn and I was 299 when I started this journey. I hope it stays that way since I am only down 1/3 of my weightloss goal.

undefined :eek: My Dad called me yesterday about his test results. It seems like there is a non agressive form of lukemea and he has it. He will still need to be watched but he says he is going to out live me. I cried for the first time when I heard this. And I don't mean sniffs and one little tear. I thought I was being brave, but I realize I was just avoiding the fear of loosing him. But I know it's the love and support of all of you that made this possible along with all the prayers. Thanks to everyone.

Thanks again everyone...blessings and good wishes!

My insurance would only pay for gastric bypass soo I up the 10,000 and flew away to MX... I do wish I had a closer dr... but I have had no problems. I would of had a $5 co pay if I had gone through Kasier

Hey yall I see that a few of us are on line if you want to chat tonight I am going into the chat room at 9:50

Ditto to what paula said...if you had anorexia no one would bother you and get in your buisness they would just want you to get help...I had the same problem and now that I have begun to take off the weight the same people say things like "wow you look great" and they seem to forgoten that they were not supportive. The truth is that most people just care about results. Next time cut her off and realize that all of us are standing behind you...You can't see us but we are there. And smile and tell her it's really none of her buisness. ANd if she continues on give her my number 1(800) shut the hell up!

I checked bedfore I went to my dr in Mex an they only cover gastric bypass

I love it I love it I love it!!!!

So my sister calls me Friday and half crying says that I need to call my father. Well of course I ask her what is wrong, my father is 76 and many things ail him but nothing serious ... that is until now. So I get off the phone and call my dad who is trying to be his ussual chipper self. He tells me after a few pleasantries that he has been diagnosed with lukemia. Now I am scared to death, but I didn't think he needed to hysterical daugters. SO I remined him that our family is strong and we beat cancer...only thing is, I don't really believe it. My Aunt just died last year after fighting breast cancer for 5 years...and while I am fine I had the baby of cancer. They took it out and I had no residual effects. What the hell is lukemia anyway... I know we have a few nurses on this board and I would appriciate the information. I am not freaking out... but I haven't done any reasearch on the net yet... I guess I am too scared about what I will find out. Hell I don't even know how a person fights it. Radiation...sucks, but kemo sucks more.... Thanks in advance for the help. :think

Pam, Kathy, Delarla and Marie, You must realize what an extreem support you are being right now. Thank you. I am stronger today because of your thoughts and prayers. I know that I can get through this. It's not me that I am most concerned for, nor is it my father really. My sister has such a bad relationship with him I know that she is goint to peices. I wish that she and I were closer, but we have never been. She is a little manic and I always got on her nerves. Well maybe through this she and I can learn to get along. If only for my dad.

I have "NO" thyroid... had it removed and my Dr. did not care...

Spoke to my Dad today... He is in very good spirits. He went through his blood test yesterday and so I will soon know what we are dealing with. I am glad to here though that we are the same blood type o-. I don't know if that will mean anything, but it makes me feel better. Thanks Jodi and blossom for your encouraging words.... I love all of you! :knockedou

If I drink with a meal my meal comes right back up.

Jodie, I have no advice... I only have love and prayers for you. I hope that all goes well and your husband keeps his word. Def see a lawyer asap!

I take glucosimine and the pills are huge... I have no problem.

Thanks everyone....(tears) I feel like this the one place that I can share my tears. I am trying to be strong for my dad and family. They have always thought of me as the strong one. I don't know what kind of lukemia it is yet, but I am hopeful. If he needs a little marrow he has a lot of children and one of us is bound to match (crossing fingers) Right? It's funny how one day you can be "Gosh I wish I would lose this next 10lbs" and the next realize how unimportant it all is. Don't get me wrong this band has saved my life, but I would trade it in a moment for the health of my dad... (sniff, sniff) Thanks for all the support I have been given and all the information. You have given me more hope... I will be positive! I will stay strong! I am just so damn scared!

Katie and Betty thanks for the support!

So I decided to step up the excersize. The band is doing it's job and now it's time for me to do mine. I have re-habbed the knee to the point that I can yes jog! I can't believe it. I ran 1/2 mile today. I know it does not sound like much... but when you consider just 4 mothes ago I was having trouble walking and had to take anti inflams. Today after my workout, I ended up walking the rest of the mile, I did not have any swelling or pain and this my second workout. I had been sticking to the eliptical machine. Don't worry I am not going to over do it I just wanted to see how it felt. So for the majority I am going to stick to the eliptical machine, but now that I know I can I am going to some jog/walking around the track on the grass. I was just so excited I had to share! :laugh :laugh :laugh :laugh :laugh :laugh :laugh :laugh :laugh :laugh :laugh :laugh :laugh :laugh :laugh :laugh :laugh :laugh :laugh :laugh :laugh :laugh

Good I am glad to hear you are doing well. Keep it up you can do it!
