    Beating myself up was not justified

    you have no controll over the mechanical issues that you have had...don't beat yourself up..its a great tool when it works like it should..Until then, smile and know you are on the right road..

    Mood swing, anyone?

    l am definately more emotional.. Not sure it has any thing to do with burning fat...

    Anyone approved with BCBS NJ after first being DENIED

    perhaps you should call and ask if your plan covers the procedure..If they don't cover it, you'll never get approved. l was denied the first time around, but only bec by Insurance info wasn't complete..a totally different senerio than your

    l too, am cold all the time...right down to my core..actually have to sleep with a heated blanket still and its summer...

    Pbing all the time

    l would think the first thing you should do is call your doctor..perhaps he needs to remove some of your fill...
  13. l was banded 9/12...l have a 14cc band. l was up to 7.5 cc when l started vomiting blood. l had a hypersensitive band from the begining..they pulled out all my fluid, and now l'm back at 7.2 not sure if l need a fill or not..having some issues with eating and losing fairly well...once you get about 7 you should really notice a different.,..its a great friend when it behaves...your doc is very conservative in your fills..we start off with 4cc on our first fill and the it goes to 1 cc after that...l havean appt on Thursday and l would like .5 cc ..then l think l'll be all set....

  14. my band is 14 cc's and now I have 3 ccs after 2 fills.I have NO restriction, can basically eat anything and am hungry about 2 hrs after eating. The mornings I am less hungry than before but mid day and afternoon are the worst- I am trying to re-adjust my eating to when I am hungry and not by time of day... I am hopeful to get more fills soon.... we will see.. when were you banded? me? 4/2/09. So for me I know I have a long ways to go-

  15. who big is your band? Up here our Doctors only give 14cc bands, which makes us get a lot of fills before we get restriction...l have 7.2 cc in my 14cc band with almost no restriction yet...l go for a fill about every 10 days right now....l get full fairly fast, but lm hungry in two hours...
