Cool. I would be scared to get something permanent. But I bet it probably works better than the band. At least you wouldn't have to worry about fills.

:lol:

I don't know what the sleeve is.

So sorry, please excuse me. I forgot how serious and straight laced everyone is here. :thumbdown:

I also go to the one on Gunbarrel Rd.

I prefer the sad ones. They go down better.

I have worked in 2 doctor's office and I don't see how they get away with certain ways that they bill. But that's just my opinion.

I haven't seen a new commercial either. They also charge my insurance company $400. I think it is a huge rip off. Especially when they don't use flouro. It looks like that would be some type of insurance fraud if they are billing for it but didn't use it.

Whenever I eat I start off really tight, then loosen all the way after several bites

I would just get a small fill. Whenever I have this problem, I just get a small fill and it seems to help. If you get a big one, you may end up too tight. -
Clowns? Someone say clowns?? I didn't think we were allowed clowns with the band? Isn't that a carb?
-
I am not sure either how much they will charge you. I am one of the lucky ones, I have really good insurance and I only have to pay $30 for a fill. I have had a fill and a lot of unfills without flouro. Funny thing is, it is the same price for me either way. Even when they don't use the flouro, GBI still bills my insurance like they did. :thumbup:

I see it as just about everything we eat has something artificial in it. Even fresh fruit you buy. Did you know it has artificial color on it to make it look more appealing? So that red apple you buy has been painted with more red color to make you buy it!!

I use splenda. The other stuff may be more natural but it's also way more expensive.
-
But HOW do you do a PB????
-
slim, I took hydrocodone after surgery. It helped a little but not a lot. But I am feeling much better. Funny thing is, I broke out in a rash after taking the meds. I have taken it many times before and not had any reaction, so I don't know what was up with that.

I am doing good. I was afraid to weigh because I have been eating a lot more lately, but I got on the scale and I have only gained 2 pounds. I thought it would be more. I was afraid I had gotten back up to 200 but I haven't. I never want to see that number again!! I have my 2 week followup with my surgeon tomorrow and I will ask him if it's ok to start exercising again.

How dare you call us names? Now I have to start some hate threads about you. As for your question, you'll have to ask PG because we don't do such disgusting things as oral.

Good luck to you both. I have the same feeling about being put to sleep. It can almost cause an anxiety attack for me. But it will all be worth it. You won't regret it. See you in band land!

Carrie_C replied to coolchick's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Yea, it probably did loosen. That's how I am right now too, once I get the first few bites down I can eat the rest. It sucks. But I know it's time for a fill when I get that way. -
I didn't have to have 2-5 years of medical records either. I don't think it is required anymore as long as you have a letter of medical necessity from your PCP. Just FYI, Cigna will probably mail you the letter first informing you if it has been approved before they let the doctor's office know. That's how it worked with me anyway.
-
:glare: Can someone please show me how to do a PB?? Please?? Anyone??
-
I think I had to do a pb and I don't know how. Boo I guess none of you care. SERIOUSLY, HOW DID THIS GIRL PASS THE PSYCH EVAL??????

I feel like I was punched in my stomach
Carrie_C replied to Erin18's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
You really need to see a doctor about your anxiety issues. You won't be able to live a happy normal life with the band if you don't get your anxiety under control. It's consuming you and it's not healthy at all. Did you have to have a psych eval before you got approved for a band? -
HELLO?? Why are you eating SF????
-
If you're so weak and hungry why don't you eat some chicken drum sticks?
