I have only had one fill and that was in Oct. It was about 5 cc. Don't want or need another one anytime soon. Thank you very much for the complement. I have been trying very hard. Lot's of exercise!! I don't have as much excess skin as I though I would but, I do have some. Lossing 75 lbs you are bound to have some excess skin. Good luck on your journey!!

How many fills have you had? I've only had one but it was 3 1/2 and it seems like alot talking to everyone else. I still dont fell much restriction? You look really good. I want to look like that in 7 months. Do you have alot of excess skin?

Hi Steph - so what dr. did you use? How many fills have you had? I have my first on Jan 15th. I started Dr.'s pre-op diet on Dec 1st at 272 and this morning I was 251! I'm doing ok without a fill thus far, but I'm sure my belly is still adjusting. I'm eating some normal food & a protein shake w/ fruit - not very much though. Still having gas after eating - it kills the shoulder blade. But all in all i'm very happy. I just want to kick some butt next year, get back to Ada's (gym) and get this weight off. Is that a pic of your and your girls?
Why are you stuck as you say? Plataeu ... spelled wrong I know..LOL

Hello Karen. I went to Dr. Bagen before I went to the doctor that did my band. Small world. I had my band done May 19th 2008. Doing wonderful. I am stuck right now but, as long as I don't gain over the holidays I will be happy. So far I have lost 72 lbs. How about you?
I go to a support group in Naples. I can give you the info on the next meeting when I get it if you would like.

Hi Stephanie - I am from Cape Coral and looking for fellow banders - I had mine done Dec 10th 08 - Dr. Bagan in Port Charlotte - how long have you had yours? Are you doing well with it?
I'd love to get to know some ppl in the same position as I and would like to join a local support group in addition to the LBT.

Almost giving up. Have not had a BMI of 40 for 5 years only 3 :(
StephanieE replied to jessicakolman's topic in Insurance & Financing
I have BCBS and they only required a BMI of 40 or greater for 3 years. You should call them. Just so you know I had to fight for them to pay for my band. But, I was banded May19th 2008 and they paid for 90% of it. So don't give up yet!! Good Luck. -
Just wanted to say hello. I'm new to this group. I was banded May 19th, 2008 in Naples. Love having a band!!

HELP!!!! Having a hard time on Pre-op diet!!
StephanieE replied to Leslee's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
What about Carnation instant breakfast, sugar-free with a scoop of protein powder? That's what I did. Ask your doctor.
