3rd fill and restriction gone....
Mimilou2004 replied to pookiemp's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Pookie, I am sorry that you have an ultraconservative fill doc. I wouldn't expect you to feel restriction til 5 or 6 cc. Can you go in sooner for more? My doc's are ultraconservative and I have been working on getting the right fill for a year now. Best wishes, Mimi -

Kate, why so far to have your drains out? Is that where your doc it? Might be a silly question, if so, I apologize. Mimi -

New to a life changing experience
Mimilou2004 replied to nicoleperry12's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Congratulations, Nicole. Read LBT daily and your questions will be answered. Mimi -
You are fortunate that your doc will do fills this soon. My practice made me wait 7 weeks post op then 6-7 weeks between fills. Long drawn out road to restriction. You are losing well, congratulations. Mimi

Shalee, I just realized when I reread your post that you are succeeding at maintenance with no restriction....way to go, but what up with your band? Mimi
-
I think .25 would be good, the 0.5 might be too much. I hope you get what you need!!!! Best wishes, Mimi

It sounds like you are doing really great, Kate, and I hope you enjoy driving the cart at the store, LOL. Mimi -
Tell us how great it is to reach goal!
Mimilou2004 replied to maryrose's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Kelin, I am so with you. I know how to gain and I know how to lose but I don't know how to maintain. I am scared!!! I hope you are doing well at maintenance. Maryrose, the closer you get to goal the harder it is to lose, don't worry about how long it takes, because the time will pass no matter what you do. Jachut....LOL your arse wobbling!!!!! Mimi -
Why are our bodies so complicated!!!!
Mimilou2004 replied to reneek's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Renee, I agree with all the other posters so I mainly wanted to comfort you and say hang in there you are doing well and next week even better. Best wishes, Mimi -
You have no restriction so everything is slider food, LOL. Someday it may cause you an issue but that is several fills in the future. Enjoy as long as you can, I think!!!! Congratulations on losing wt now w/o restriction. Mimi

I missed a few minutes of the show and apparantly that includes the $1000 a pound. WOW, what incentive!!!! Lucky girl. Mimi

Do you have restriction generally? How many CC's in how big a band do you have? Mimi
-
Sterski, since you are already exercising 3 times a week, do you think it would help to journal your food by calorie count and not just the total amount? Best wishes, Mimi

Skinnyjeans turn for a flat tummy
Mimilou2004 replied to skinnyjeans's topic in Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery
SJ, whoo hoo for the swelling going down!!! Sounds like your stamina is increasing, too. Time for more pictures!!!! Mimi -
WOW! Ask and you shall receive...
Mimilou2004 replied to Cherishthepast's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
That is a huge amount so I am happy you can drink, etc. I applaud you for being your own advocate, but I will be watching for your posts in hopes that he didn't overfill you in retaliation. Best of luck, Mimi -
New Whey Liquid Protein Shots!
Mimilou2004 replied to SwanGal's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Mixing them with Crystal Light in a matching flavor really helps, too. You are smart to break it into 2 servings so the body can absorb the protein. Mimi -
How long did it take for a Tricare approval?
Mimilou2004 replied to brat7169's topic in Insurance & Financing
I knew in 2 days, something sounds strange because they can't book your surgery date w/o the approval. I think maybe you need to talk to someone at Tricare higher up the food chain!!! Good Luck, Mimi -
