I too have been looking into P90x, but it's rediculously expensive! 120.00 seriously... If I knew i would stick to it 100% I would have no problems forking out the money. So my question is, where can I get a bootleg copy?

I have the same problem with constipation. I went to the dr. yesterday and he told me to take stool softeners, Milk of Magnesium and also perscribed Amitiza capsules. He said I should be ok after taking that perscription. I asked him if the lap band is the cause of me being constipated and he said no! Lets hope it's not cause this wasn't in the fine print regarding complications with the lapband.

I'm familiar with the Nike+ system, but I'm interested in joining the challenge with you and whosyadaddy, but I can't locate the specific challenge you guys are doing. Would you mind emailing me the challenge. I will send you my email address in a pm. Thanks again! Eclipse

I'm interestered in the Nike+ challenge, would you mind telling me the name of it? Or I can PM you my email address. I need some sort of motivation these days!

Tonya- I to have noticed that my band is very restricted in the mornings and then gradually opens up so by dinner time I could eat a horse if I let myself. There are times when I wake up in the middle of the night and try to drink water and I can feel it kinda of just sit there for a minute, then gradually go down. I haven't had a fill in about 6 months, it just seems very flacky if you ask me. :wink2:

I am 27 year old female, had the lap band on March 20, 2007 by Dr. Spivak. To date I have lost 98 lbs. I'm struggling hitting that 100 lbs mark, but I will get there (soon I hope). Good luck with your surgery, I know you will do great. I see your in Houston, I'm in Houston to! May I ask who is performing your surgery? Hope to hear from you soon! Jessica :biggrin2:

I purchased the ipod sensor (it's about 29.00 at Academy), you also need the ipod (not the very small one, but the nano, it needs to have a screen on it and if you do a search online you can actually purchase a little clip ($8.00) so that it attaches to your shoe laces (so you don't have to spend 100.00 on the Nike+ shoes). It works just as well! You can upload your runs and compete with others. I love it. Check out the link below for the clip I purchased. Introducing RunAway Let me know how you like it. Eclipse

Enterprise- You are doing wonderful!!! I can't wait to hear more about the outcome. I too, am experiencing the bat wings. I hope to get rid of them in the next year or so. Keep up the great work! Eclipse Banded by Dr. Spivak 3/20/07

I have the same problem. It hurts about 2 hours after I eat. I'm suppose to go to the gastro. dr. tomorrow but with this storm headed my way I think I will have to cancel. Selaine how did they find the problem? What type of test did they do? Any advice you can provide would be greatly appreciated! Eclipse

Julie your doing awesome! Sounds to me like you will reach goal by before Oct. 1st. Keep up the great work! Your pics look awesome, by the way!!

Wombat- were you self-pay?

I went the insurance route and I too was confused about the $2500 thing. I even paid 500 dollars to Dr. Beltran (his assistant surgeon) and another 400-500 dollars for anestiga (I admit I wasn't ever in a spelling bee). Why are they making us pay extra for all this other stuff, I was under the impression it was covered in the $2500.00. Was I misinformed?
