Do you have to be at goal before consult with the PS?
Mimilou2004 replied to tcbgirl's topic in Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery
My PS wanted my wt stable for "a few months" but many don't insist on 6 months. I think now would be a great time for your consult. I went several months before goal and it helped me know what I wanted done and the order it would be done as well as the costs. It also gave me incentive to get to goal. Congratulations on your very excellent weight loss. You have done so well. Please let us know as your plans firm up. Mimi -
down 2 more pounds

Congratulations, SG, on your 2 pound wt loss. You may gain a half pound when you go back on solids, but it should be temporary. Continued success, Mimi -

I am glad you took your picture for that AHA moment, Non Scale Victory!!! I thought my face was not slimming down til I, too, compared pictures, what a revelation!!! Best wishes for continued success. Mimi -
Elfiepoo, I thought your post was spot on and had a friend read it to understand better what I am going through. I am also enjoying the replies. Mimi

BarbBee, you have lost an amazing amount of weight!!!! Congratulations!!! I hope you get you blood levels to stay up so you can have your surgery. I will be watching for your posts. Good luck, Mimi

I agree, you absolutely must call your surgeon's office. You can't live like that for the weekend. If no answer the ER is the place to go. Good luck. Mimi

It is any time between being banded and finally arriving at restriction, a time when the band is not yet doing its job to control hunger and you are very hungry. Mimi

Tricare specifically excludes plastic surgery. Mimi

It's Allie's turn for plastics!

Allie, I am sorry you caught kid krud and wish you a speedy recovery for your next PS. That is so cool that you can pick up a craft and make practical things!!! Keep those hands busy. Mimi -
No restriction whatsoever!
Mimilou2004 replied to SwanGal's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I gained about 10-12 pounds between surgery and my 2nd fill. It stands to reason if we go off the pre-op diet and have no restriction we are going to eat as usual. It is often referred to as Bandster Hell. You have lots of time to lose wt, so relax and just do the best you can. Your doc has seen the pattern before many times, I am sure, so don't put off going for your fill just because you gained. Good luck, Mimi -
Gorgeous, congratulations on taking such great care of yourself. Mimi

It's Allie's turn for plastics!
Mimilou2004 replied to allielee's topic in Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery
Allie, I am sorry about your nips not having feeling. I hope it returns as the weeks go by. I am so in sync with you about being 300 pounds w/o the band. I have had no restriction for 3 wks and don't have an appt til 1/14 and have already gained 11 pounds. Luckily I have no desire to cook, LOL. Best wishes, Mimi -

Urgent Fill Opinions Needed - Please
Mimilou2004 replied to phlphan's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I agree with the other poster's. If you can't even keep liquids down it is not good, dehydration happens fairly quickly. Please post your progress. Mimi -
Nope, no wake up issues. The breathing tube is almost always gone by the time you remember waking up. Mimi
