Yay! I got the Heber number through Dr. Farr's office and got the cell number from the office message. So, no worries. If anyone else ever needs this info, tho, let me know. Thanks! Angel

:help: I am trying to reach Wendy Hall in Arizona (Heber, Snowflake, Mesa) for an immediate unfill. I have been swollen almost completely shut since Thanksgiving. Blasted turkey! Anyway, I can't find her card anywhere for her cell #. I found this Snowflake number 928-536-5377 through a search, but it is ringing in like a fax. I really need to reach her. I am in a lot of pain and would like to request the day off as soon as possible, if I can get in, since my boss is an a-hole about that kind of stuff. (It ups my chances of actually getting the time off. He's such a grouch!). I just can't imagine holding out another day. I feel like there is a sword going up my esophagus on a regular basis. OUCH! Anyway, if you don't feel comfortable posting it, PLEASE PM me. I will check it all through the day. THANKS SO MUCH!

Hey turtles. Just saying hi. I haven't been on here in ages. Since my last unfill after that awful episode, I never got refilled back to where I was. And where I was wasn’t even working, so of course this isn't either. I am just a big chicken. It was pretty terrible, so I missed some work, which didn’t go over well. Anyway, I still haven't lost anything, and I don't much feel like I have a band, though I do eat considerably less even still. Yet, I think of y'all all the time and wonder how everyone is doing. I still think about just trying to start over, but I wonder if I even can. Anyway, just poking my head in to say howdy! Guess, I am off to do some reading and catching up on everyone. Hope y'all are doing great!!!

I ate dinner just fine on Tuesday. we went right after work about 5 in the evening. no pain, no problems and not much restriction. then yesterday i woke up and water and coffee went down with difiiculty. i didn't spit it back up but had some pain. now, usually I am tight in the morning and must use caution, but this was extraordinarily so and i never loosened up. i decided to do soup for lunch since i was struggling and then i started PBing horribly. this continued through the evening, and even through my sleep. i would wake up every half hour throwing up my own saliva type stuff all over myself and the sheets. this morning i am trying despartely to have some warm tea but it is not easy. at this point even my esophagus is swollen. it was a very painful nd disgusting night, so i don't want to push things, but i haven't eaten since tuesday. anyway, i have had the same fill for a couple of months and have had way less than perfect restriction. in fact, i was thinking i needed another one. what in the heck happned? i went from two months of fair restriciton to throwing up soup over night? this was so horribly painful and i am so tired from not eating and drinking. i am getting scared and don't know what is going on? and i have a midterm tonight? agh!! does anyone have advice?

Squirrels!! no way! wow, that story takes the cake!:clap2:

To fill or not fill… So I have been going back and forth on this one, and I need some objective thoughts. Sometimes I think I don’t want to get a fill because mentally I just hate the idea of eating even less. But honestly, I don’t EVER pb. Not that that is a bad thing, but I think it is weird considering how much I can eat. Now I am pretty good about chewing, and I am starting to wonder if you can feel like you never get full if the food is chewed so much that it plops right down into the big tummy right away. And man is it weird to feel it pass from one to the other! Sometimes it amazes me how clueless I still am. :scared: Anyway, Jessiebear’s post about her terrible pb on just a couple of bites of Mexican food really made me wonder why that stuff never happens to me no matter what I eat. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t want it to per se, but I just thought a fill of 3.2 seemed like so much, and maybe it really isn’t. WOW, I am totally rambling. Did I even make any sense? I think my addiction to food is making be biased. Please, ask me questions, set me straight. Just help me figure out what I am doing!

wow. that is crazy. you feeling better today? that comment about a drunk though, that's priceless. :scared:

vines in her infinite wisdom....you gotta love it. all i can say is, i concur.

Anybody ever had this done? I am sure the price is dependent on how much you get done and where it is, but any info you can pass along would be appreciated. This is my planned reward for losing the weight. And as incentive to keep working at it, I am going to get started now on saving! WEEE! :ban: Just wondering how much that will have to be. :nervous

that is great news stewartS. i am glad you were able to get it here. i hope ttbseffy has the same luck. I guess i just had a bad run of luck, because no one even wanted to discuss it with me or would return my calls. i might have faired better with even more persistence. guess i should have stressed the self pay bit!!!! :ban:

actually there is a search feature at the top of the page on the main tool bar. i did a search for low bmi for you, but i didn't come up with anything. then i just tried bmi and still didn't get anything. that doesn't make any sense to me though. maybe my computer just hates me? :ban: hopefully some folks will get on here and post. you are defintely not alone though. your stats are probably currently on the low end, but even then still you could possibly get it. i think a bmi of 30 is the cut off in some places. i will try a some more search and hopefully find something good for you.

I had a relatively low BMI, but had to go to Mexico for surgery. That is another factor you might have to weigh, because I didn't find anyone here that would talk to me about getting it because of the federal regulations on the surgery. Somewhere out there you might be able to find it, but foreign shores are an option. Try a serach on low BMI. There are others on here with similar situations. Good luck!
