Help- I was banded 11-9-07 and have only lost 24 lbs...I need about 50-60 more to be really healthy! I have not lost any more since first of year. I am getting a 3rd fill this week and am hoping it will control me. You would think at 53 I would be in control! I need to get back on the bandwagon with both feet! I think I'll start back on this site, and will do a journal. Wish me luck!

How the Lap-Band actually works, fills and refills
neen7171 replied to Wendell Edwards's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Wonderful & helpful!! I was a 11-9 band, with a 1cc fil 4 weeks later. I feel more hunger than I expected even still. Maybe it's mental obsession! -
I had 11-9 surgery date, out of town, so I feel "out of the loop!" I had a fill 12-10, but only 1cc. I get full sooner, but hungry too soon. What are you eating. I'm confused by all the food lists! Isnt it common "Diet sence"?
-
I will be looking for fills near St.Louis. Fill USA has one in southern Missouri (1.5 hrs away), and they run this referral group. Anyone had any good or bad success with them?

I am scheduled with Dr.Weiner at Harper Nov 9th. He called twice from his cell phone to talk "Pre-Surgery" I was SO IMPRESSED!!! i AM sooooo EXCITED. hOW YOU DOING??? -
Is the RX included in the cost of the surgery? I'm self-pay.

I am scheduled Nov 9th for surgery-self pay. My husband will have no car, many places around the area he can eat at...or excercise? How bad will I feel following days after?

I am schueled for Detroit Harper Nov 9th. I read several Belite complaints here then went directly to Harper for questions. Belite got back to me then!! Tell me everything about Harper! I am looking for St.Louis fills...look like there is a professional "Fill company coordinator" that works thru docs call "Fills America". Anyone know anything? -
I'm set. Nov 9th in Detroit from St.Louis! I need to find a protein drink I can abide for only 1 week pre-op. Surgery is on a Friday...plan on going back to work Monday...hope it works!
-
Why nervous? Helloo....how many of us eat in social situations (everyone)? How many of us love that high calorie celebration food? How many of us used those situations to reward ourselves? Here will be one of the most challenging for anyone re-working their life/eating habits! I go Nov 8-11 in Detroit.

I am presently going thru paperwork for surgery Nov 9 at Harper. I assume I get assigned a doctor when I get there? I live in St. Louis so I will be going to Kansas for refills. Anyone been to the persons in Shawnee Mission or Topeka? How hard is it to go get refills from the person who did not do the surgery. I will have to get established good with a re-fill Doc! -
OK-So the Harper Hospital group is great...it's just the Belite group that lacks good followup?
-
Thanks- you just made me very confident about my decision. I'm coming from St.Louis (for the price-self pay & afraid of Mexico) and will always have to fly. No extra doctor fees 1st year? Thanks I'm so excited!!!
-
Belite is not getting good comments thru this forum. If they only get paid to schedule, who needs them once surgery has gone thru? The really important stuff has to do with the Bariatric Center at Harper. Right?
-
I am scheduled at Harper thru Beliteweight (which has not received good comments). Their intro price of 11,700 was great. My primary wants all the info I can gather (can't believe I'm scheduling surgery thru the internet & phone). Thanks for everything you can tell me!
-
I am scheduled for Harper Hospital from St.Louis. Sounds great...but how are they on fills?
