I can relate too. I only had about 45lbs to lose, but that is heavy for me & my asthma acts up any time I hit 157. I was hiding in my home. I imagine most people wish they had done something before they got to the point where they could barely walk etc.

General Anesthesia or IV Sedation

General - for sure. -
Sabela- Maybe you should request a copy of your chart from you physician. Good Luck with your new band! Linda

I do not know if this is an option for you, but I have heard of people taking a loan out on their 401K/retirement accounts for the procedure.

Thanks! Your words of encouragement are greatly appreciated! Not sure why some people insist on being negative on here. But who cares anyway! We are gonna rock this band and look even better than we do now whether they like it or not! You look awesome, keep up the great work!!

How do I know when it's time for a fill?
LindaLouRN replied to crazycatlady's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
blackcherry - Yes, I am 5'1" - and 100 pounds is on the low end of the NORMAL range for my height, but it is normal, not unhealthy. You know, if you can't say something nice - why even say it at all? Seriously. fluffycat - My doc recommended the low-profile band. It was after surgery that he informed it was a 12cc capacity band. Yes, I was once a small woman, but 3 kids and 10 years later I somehow (LOL) managed to gain 60-70 pounds. After countless diets, most of which worked, but I always gained the weight back and then some, I, like many here, decided on the lap band. And, so far, so good. What about you? What made you decide to go to Mexico? How many fills have you had? Do you go to Mexico for the fills? Just wondering. Have a great day. Linda -
Hi LindaLou..I also had 72 lbs to lose. Thats why I didn't tell anyone about my little rubber band friend. I can do without the comments. Its too bad people are so mean. Why wait untill we have hundreds of pounds to lose. We all want to look good in our skinny jeans. Keep up the good work and good luck. Sandy

I am so sorry the last person to send you a message was so nasty, ugly and rude. So what you have 67 pounds to lose. I have 90 to lose and I have gotten crap from people also about why did you even get he band you didn't need it. Your insurance approved ugh and I was self pay blah blahblah. Love your avitar pic you look wonderful.

Weigh in... how much have u lost?
LindaLouRN replied to Southern Missy's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
This Wednesday will mark 3 months since I was banded. I have lost 20 pounds so far. I wish it were more, but I am grateful for what I've lost. I dream of being skinny for Christmas!! Things really seem to be working in my favor since my last fill 3 weeks ago, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed, LOL! -

I agree with Jodi, it's time for another fill. -
still cant understand slimming ... am i having it
LindaLouRN replied to luckytoloose's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
HA HA, I wondered this too when I was first banded. Did I have restriction, was this sliming, my questions and doubts went on and on... All I can say is - when it finally, really happens - you will know because there is no mistaking it, LOL! It will happen and you will say - OH this is what they meant by restriction, sliming, and so on. Good Luck!!
