my doc told me bread would be fine but for me personally it is not-it causes such a problem its not worth it-it seems to act as a plug and just doesnt go thru-sad too since I LOVE fresh bread-used my bread machine every week at least 1x but now Im going to just make them suffer with me-lol.

movie night at bubless's house near dallas
-
so have we decided on the movie?like I said that "Be Cool" movie with John Travolta looks funny
-
you have done a great job and you deserve this-DO IT!!!Dont beat yourself up about not hitting goal at the time you set-you have done GREAT!
-
Im jealous youve lost so many inches-I havent lost any that I know of-have also only lost 20 pounds-am hoping this fill will be the nudge to kick it in gear
-
Im excited cause I was banded 4/27 and can basicly eat anything as long as I chew which I had trouble doing but am learning.Anyway I hope this causes some restriction since Ive only lost 16 pounds and all that was done in the first 10 days. Few questions....does it hurt?am I not supposed to eat beforehand?will i know immediately if fill "took"?
-
plus dont forget the $150 fare to his office-eeks.oh and its a 4cc-so how are you doing so far?
-
I was banded in tijuana-I have a 10 Inamed and I got my fill here in Houston for $200-I am not about to go to Tijuana for fills-the flight and such would be way more than $200 plus you still have to pay the $70 they say they are free but they arent-you have to pay lab fee or whatever it is-he explains this to you when I had the consulatation right b4 surgery.
-
thanks everyone-I do feel restriction I guess-pretty much everythign I eat today gets stuck and I cough it back up but Im sure it was the bread now-I had half sanwich for lunch-came back up mostly then had some paneras soup and bread for dinner-most came back up-I haaaaaaaaaate nnot being able to have bread-Im a bread girl-love fresh bread.sigh

mine are 46dd right now and it sucks but they are 38dd when Im not overweight so was going to have them reduced after I lose the weight my gyno will mark it off as a medical necessity because of the back problems it cause but i have to lose 50 pounds first but then she can write it off and insurance will cover it.
