  1. I just finished the 30 day challange today on Easy mode. For the first few days my legs hurt so bad I sat down like I was having a baby every day got so much easier that I stopped feeling any pain. I am going to take a rest for a week before starting another 30 day challange on a higher level. Good Luck :thumbdown:
  2. Wow this is the first time I can say that I am happy with an insurance company's decision. Do you think 50lbs is worth going to mexico putting yourself in debt and maybe having complications that cause even bigger problems than you have being 50lbs overweight? Even though death is unlikely it could happen on the operating room table. Give this great thought before you leave for Mexico. Good Luck
  3. So your problem was with the surgeon not the band!

    Had 1st fill, and I'm bummed!

    6 weeks without bread is nothing. Try 7 months! I don't think I will ever be able to eat bread again.
  5. I am 7 months post op and am only losing 1lb a week so I know how depressing it can be but I am trying to stay positive. Hope you can do the same.
  6. The only thing I don't like about the Wii Active is that the band is way to week for me. I had to go to walmart and buy a stronger one. Other than that I love it!

    Pre-Op Tests??

    All I had to have was a chest xray, ekg, and lab work.

    to fill or not to fill?

    If you have good restriction then maybe you should cancel the appt and let it go until July when you might not have as much restriction. I went today for my fourth fill and they wouldn't give it to me becasue I lost 14lbs in 5 weeks.

    Best Compliment

    I was at the gym and a lady came over to me and said that we joined the gym at the same time and that I was doing really well and she could tell a difference in me.

    Banded on November 11, 2008 by Dr. Newlin. How has the first month been for you?

    Don't cry and think that you made the wrong decision. The first five days are hard but after that it's a piece of cake!

    Back to work Post band

    I'm a Nurse Aide on a heart bypass/trauma unit and my Doctor made me take off two weeks so that I didn't get a hernia from lifting patients.
  13. Happy 6 month bandiversary!!!

    6 months,60 lbs down & losing steam....

    I have the same exact problem, one day it's so tight that water hurts going down and other days I can eat pizza. I haven't lost anything in 2 weeks but I know I can't take another fill. I think I need a kick in the butt!

    Introduction

    When I had my first appt with the surgeon I went in and said "I am here for the lapband and the lapband only don't even talk to me about the bypass because I don't want it" I am so happy that I had the lapband and didn't let him try to talk me into the bypass.

    Hit my 1/2 way mark!!

    Good Luck with the other half!

    Exercise

    I wish I could help you. I am in the same boat as you! All I do is walk/run on the treadmill for 60 min 3-4 times a week.

    Am I making the biggest mistake of my life?

    I'm sure there are millions of people out there that feel the same way you do and in six months you will say to yourself "I'm so stupid why did I feel that way." Good luck and be scared it's natural!
  20. Good Pizza sounds so good now! Call your Dr tell them you want a fill right away!

    Wow great job! Keep up the good work

    Maybe I need a therapist....

    You might be able to eat 1/4 cup of food for a bout 1 week after the surgery but not forever. I eat 1 to 1 1/2 cups of food 3 times a day with a snack. The thing I like most about the band is I can try just about anything with no problem so maybe you will be the same way. Good Luck!

    I need a kick in the butt!

    I eat soup 5 days a week but I always have some sort of protein with it and It sticks with me for a long time. Maybe you need to change your work out. Don't do the same thing every day. Also maybe you need to eat foods with more calories, your body needs food to burn so if you get a small unfill like .5 cc it will help. Good Luck

    Jogging and pain in port area

    I noticed the same pain last week when I started running for the first time EVER. I thought maybe I just needed bike pants under my gym pants to hold my stomach down. I wonder if it would help? :welldoneclap:
  25. Did your Insurance pay for the reband?
