Did I read right?!! You went back TWO DAYS LATER??

"Weight Police" lmaooooo!! Your family sounds fun!

July 3rd was your last fill??

I'm a July BANDit also, and have "only" lost 40. Great job.

Awww, honey, I'm so sorry about your friend. Can you at least tolerate liquids? Keep hydrated. (((HUG)))

carolinagirl..... What a TRAVESTY: a well-done FILET MIGNON...?!?!?!?!?! NoooOoooOooo!!

Nana, I will forever sing your praises.... You've shared literary GOLD. LoL

This is an article shared by one of the members here, her name is Nana.... Be prepared to have your eyes opened. This is a gem of an article. Hope this helps! http://www.lapbandtalk.com/topic/177913-must-read-how-the-lap-band-should-work-green-zone-in-fills/

My sister had one... But she got the sleeve, not ybs band.

Aquarian, your surgeon SHOULD respect your opinion about how aggressive your fills should be. I say you call them and put your feet down and don't allow him to do as he pleases with you.

LoL. Bandista, KILL ME NOW... All this time I thought you were a MAN. Forgive your fellow BANDit, would ya?? (Funny post, btw)

Our terms aren't exactly the safest. Follow the lead of your surgeon. You'll be happy you did. I recently posted about MY experience last week. It wasn't pretty.

You're welcome, Nana Lenna, I think it's a combination of poor education AND patients not doing their homework in conjunction with total disregard & abuse of the band. Frankly, I don't think my original bariatric team was very educational. The nutritionist didn't really go into detail of all the things that could go wrong if you abuse it. Almost all I know is from my own research and reading lots of success & failure stories. The phycologist didn't discuss that the band wasn't gonna "keep" me from eating and that it was a large percentage gonna still be a mental battle. The three group meeting i attended barely discussed life after the band- they focused on the pre op diet. But thank God I ended up having my surgery with the best team in NY at NYU.

LmAo

YIKES!!

*holds collegeboi's hand through the whole process* LoL. It's normal to be worried, after all, it IS mayor surgery... You'll be fine!

Terrydumont, HUSH!! (LoL)

Damn! You guys are warriors! I'm not working and couldn't phantom going back to "work" if I had to, before the two week mark.

That's great for you B-52! I'm looking forward to rewarding myself with LASIK when I reach goal as well. (35 going on 21)

Ha! I hope we are ALL adults here, even if some behave like 6th graders (not anyone in THIS thread particularly)

That's it ^^^^ that's my post!!!! Well, do I?? (LoL)

Not for ME, thank God!

The genie appears promptly... No rubbing required Ok.... Maybe A LIL RUBBING
