BeenBad

Thanks Ms T Yeah I will do that. Called today to confirm receipt of the reports and they have them said they're on the doctors desk waiting for her to review them and then they will set up an appointment probably early July!! thats horrible I may go back to old doc further away and charge more but I can be filled sooner. Gonna call now to see. Let you know what happened later

Hey Ms. Trina and Zagagirl Zaga what was the talk about evaporation? I missed that one. If this is the case, I have yet another source to blame for my being baaadd! LOL. But really I would like to learn more. Mrs. T 51 lbs. in 8 months is still something to talk about. Congrats!!! I faxed my pre-op report and other stuff the new doctor needed today so I have to wait for the review and then the appointment. Hopefully I can get one sometime next week. I am stating to get really motivated again. I have an elliptical trainer in my basement that I drove my husband crazy about buying and have been on the thing only maybe three times. He's pissed I know it but he doesn't say it, hes so supportive. But if I can get my start then I will be more motivated to take my behind down stairs and work out. OH btw my hubby and son also have a home gym for total body toning, so it would be good if I used that too. Looking forward to new change of old habits. Thanks gals

Ms Trina am I reading your ticker right you lost 51 lbs since May 15th, 2008? Thats something to talk about!!!!

Thanks Beachgirl, I'm gonna do exactly that, I just have to fax over op reports to new fill doctor, hopefully I can see him as soon as next week. I see you were banded in Mexico too. Who was your surgeon? Do you think that us Mexico bandsters receive less on going support and therefore suffer more negative results. I have a girlfriend who was banded 1 year ago in the states and she goes to support groups and anniversary dinners and such, and she's doing great. I'm thinking of joining her group but it's participants have all been banded by the same doctors in a shared practice at NYU hospital. What do you thinik?

Hey thanks for the vote of confidence, I plan to make an appointment Monday for a fill. I know I defiantely need one I can drink with food and ALL fatty habits I had pre-band. How would I know if I had a slippage or stretched my pouch? I think someone called it. Would I need an xray? Thanks Again

Hi zaga, I just registered here today, not sure how long ago you posted comment. Well, you have a friend in me sounds just about like my situation. I was banded in Nov. 2004 and it was the best decision I ever made. I lost the weight WAS a success story and now almost 4 years later I'm inching or rather running back up, I'm about 203 now. I came here to find support from others like me and looking for the initial support I received from these type of online chats. I have been eating terribly drinking soda wine basically anything; I have restriction sometime I know I can use a fill so thats my first step and them I'm gonna start new. Looking for a support partner. Could this be you? Oh btw I'm changing doctors too. Yeah somewhat from embarrassment but also I moved and its a little far.
