Ok so they surgeon just returned my phone call and the first day they can schedule my 1st fill is July 18. I am leaving the 21st for a long weekend trip to the beach. Is this ok? I dont wanna ruin my trip. Am i gonna be feeling alright by then???

HEY,Hope ~~~ i cant believe ur in Clearwater. How long are u going to be there? We should so drive up there.Thats awesome ya'll are having such a good time!!!! Damn nasty weather. GRRRRR. Porbably have to cancel our trip any how bc of Emily. Anyways Have a great one, and I will talk to you soon!!!! Robyn~~~~~~

Thanks for the advice and well wishes!! We will see what happens with them!

I have had 2 knee surgeries. The most recent was last june and I fractured and dislocated my knee cap 2.5 inches. I have lost some weight but now i think the wire has come loose and might require more surgery. I guess genetics are genetics reguardless of weight. Good luck.

Hello. I live in Florida as well! I am near Ft Lauderdale!

So during this whole thing I havent been too nervous so why am i so scared about my 1st fill??????

Ok So i had surgery May 31. Have not been exercising enough, eating like crap. PLEASE someone kick me in the a$$. I need to eat right and exercise EVERY day!!!! SO this is MY SOLEMN PROMISE. Exercise, (walk at least 1 mile) Healthy, protein for meals, fruit! I said i was going to do this and darn it I AM!!!!!!!!!

waaahhhhh i dont wanna wait!!!! But maybe i should. They are trying to get me in the 11th so we will see.

I was banded May 31. I lost some weight prior to surgery and then some after, think i am losing inches opposed to pounds. BUT i dont feel much restriction. I am hungry all the time. They had me make an appointment for 2 months after my pre-op appt but they said I had to at least be on solids for a months before even considering adjustment. Is this the normal time frame? I am not losing weihgt, trying to eat right, BUT.......it is getting discouraging!

Well surgeon's office called this morning and scheduled my 1st fill for July 18!!!!

I agree Aileena with not giving out too much info!!! BE CAREFUL!!! Anyways, I live in Fort Lauderdale and had my surgery with a Dr. Szomstein. He was wonderful!!!! Good Luck!

Well good morning. I am replying to myself in this post. I am drinking a carnation instant breakfast with some added skim milk to add protein. Should keep me full till lunch time. I awoke this morning with a refreshed attitude. No BREAD bc it is a huge down fall for me and I CAN get it down,at least until I get a fill. So say GOOD MORNING TO THE NEW ROBYN, ON HER WAY TO A HEALTHY LIFE STYLE!!!!!

I take some pills every day by swallowing. As long as they arent HUGE, i think it is ok. Good Luck!

While disussing with my 4 year Brooke, why i wanted to lose weight, she asked how i got to be heavy. I told her well, when mommy was pregnant with u, my belly grew a whole lot and then i got pregnant with ur sister and my belly got even bigger and she thought for a sec and said, then what happened to your butt? LOL

How do i paste pics in here??????????????

I live in Florida as well, about 3 hrs south of Melblorne. My best friend lives right off Wickam and another friend lives in Palm Bay!!! Congrats!

Ok I was banded on May 31. I started out at 257 in April. Between pre-op and exercise I was 243 on day of surgery. I have gone all the way down to 231 and back to 237 after starting solids. I can eat about anything, except bread. I have been on solids for almost a week. I am not losing any more weight. I almost feel like I have had nothing done. (no band) Dr. told me I have to be on solids for a month before an adjustment, so i guess i have to be patient, but darn it, i dont wanna be! I wanna feel some restriction, I wanna see the scale drop!!! I DO know that this is time of healing and all that lol. I can eat almost anything. I have had pizza for dinner one night and a bagel for breakfast. Please send me some encouragement vibes!!!! Either make mid July come sooner or give me some restriction!!!!!!!!

La Madam!!!U made me cry. You are so awesome! Always an inspiration to this forum!!!! Thanks. I agree 200% with the saying, Just because u can doesnt mean u should!!! I try to drink a Carnation Instant breakfast and it does great for holding hunger. Been doing Boars Head Sausalito Turkey and Fat free cheese, tuna, chicken salad, yogurt.....I even started doing situps yesterday, did 20 and 10 today. 8) AND i bought a Tae Bo DVD....havent been brave enough to try that though!! I have to remember to NOT snack!!! Thanks again!!!

I will be sure to watch, thanks!!!

I also have BCBS of Illonois. Approved with very minimal requirements and was approved in a day!!! Paid 100%!!!1 Good Luck!

I was banded 5-31 and had pizza for dinner last night. So yep, it is for me. I just started solids last week, have hardly any restriction, so i went for it!

Ok So i went to the beach with my girls today, had a BLAST! It was great. But every time I bent over to pick up the football when we were playing, I could feel my port poking me, felt like it was poking my ribs. Is that ok? Happen to anyone else?

I got butterfly strips and wore them for a few extra days. This morning i noticed (what I thought was a scab) hanging out of small incision. I almost pulled it and thought, nah i better not. Well dr said today that it was part of internal stitch and if i'd have pulled it, i'd of had some troubles......8)

Mine is obvious, lol. I am the proud, very proud mom of 2 beautiful little girls. They are my world!

I hear the South Beach lunchable type thingys are great!!!
