Thank you(: -
yeah, the nausea was way gone, since dec. but i wont be getting a fill till after i get my gallblader removed, its been causing me pain here and there and i've had two attacks and the most recent one was the worst so far, so the doc said itd be best to get it removed now b/c the next one could be even worse

well long ish story made short, i woke up around 4am yesturday cause my cat woke me up, so i went to the bathroom and came to lay back down. not even a few minutes later i started having this pain right under my left rib at the bottom so i tried laying on my left side. i thought it was a gas bubble or something but it didnt go away when i layed on my side so i tried laying on my stomach and it hurt so bad, it felt so hard and felt sort of warm it was a sharp pain so i got up and it still hurt, i walked in the living room where my mom was(my neice stays the night on fridays and she sleeps on the couch so my mom stays in there so she doesnt fall off of the couch)to tell her i was having pain there. so we all thought it was just gas pain but it was hurting more and more so i tried 3 gas-x's and it was hurting a little more, i sat down..i thought the gas-x was gonna work but nope it didnt, it got to the point where i couldnt lay, sit or stand, it hurt so bad it put me in tears so finally 25-30 mins later decided to go to the hospital. got there at 5am left at 10am...but anyways they couldnt get blood so finally at the 4th IV needle, they got it. got the results and they came back fine. when the dr came back in i told him i was having pain on my right side now and in my back so i got an ultrasound done. the results came back with gall stones. i really hope i dont have to have surgery, i should be finding out tomorrow. is anything you guys suggest?
-
first time ever having them
-
thats awesome well i kinda not all happy about it, been through hell with it, its really doing nothing for me right now, i have no fills and i wasnt able to get any because i had severe nausea for 2 and a half months, its going to be one year july 31st and didnt even lose much, 28-40 pounds, and now im gaining some back..ugh
-
you're welcome lol it will go by faster than you know it, oh no, what classes? no way to pass it? i would not want to go to summer school
-
Welcome to Facebook | Facebook hopefully that worked haha, oh if you have any questions about the lapband or anything about the band can you message me instead of writing on my wall cause i dont want anyone to know i got the surgery, its almost been a year and no one knows and i like to keep it like that (: and yes it was a very bad idea, from my ankles to half way to the middle of my leg hurt and i got blisters ew, they were deffinitely not the right pair, they were a pair i had for around 2 years from victoria secret
-
its okay, atleast youre getting somewhere, even if it is turttle slow lol, the stress will pass, block it out as much as you can (:
-
yes, it's awesome! i wasn't expecting that at all!!

hey, so i am getting so lost and i cant find my way back. i've been lost for ahwile. i am not doing well with this band, i feel hungry all the time and the worst part is that im hungry RIGHT after i ate. i need a fill so badly but i have no insurance still, to pay for it and i have no money in my pocket..i keep forgetting to chew slowly and then getting the productive burp i think...i feel like i'm falling apart on everything. if anything i gained 3 pounds and i'm getting discouraged pretty badly, i am also very stressed with school, i feel like i have to get all my grades above 95 (i am already a high honor roll student), and i'm stressing that i'm going to fail, i'm stressing that i'm going to forget to hand something in on time, and one of my classes is really frustrating to me, the teacher is moving to colorado this summer to teach at a college and she misses fridays and mondays and i cant learn that stuff unless someone teaches me, i have hard time reading directions like those (this is an advanced computer applications). i dont know, im just really stressed and have no time to really think about what im doing. but i'm really hating the fact that i feel so hungry right after i eat. and i looked at some clothes yesturday that i liked and im like "i'll never fit in those" and i saw myself in the mirror today and GOD i looked horrible in the new top i got which i love, i hate how my body is, it's discusting, i feel the most discouraged/upset by the fact that i didnt try hard enough because by now i should've been 20-30 pounds away from my goal weight and im deffinitely nowhere near close, i didnt try hard enough, theres so many temptations that need to be thrown away or something and everyone should start eating healthier in this house. i wanted to be at or close to goal weight by graduation(june 26th 2010) and that got blown up, i feel super sad about that =/, i like..hate myself for not focussing better. and this head of mine..ughhhh! i'd like a new mind please, it feels like its getting to full of things to remember, to do, and things like that arghhh , i dont know what to do, people say to make it a daily routine but it doesnt seem like itll happen...i have plans for the summer for fun exercises so i hope that happens, hope to be down to goal by the end of the year =/
-
no problem, and thats good-it will help! it's okay, relax, and take a deep breath! try again, start slowly, don't try to do everrything at once because that will make you stressed. let your body know it's okay, just relax and breathe. get yourself started the same way you started it before
[it's okay (:]
-
that is awesome! (:i could have done way better than i have, i should be half way to goal by now, but im not, my one year out is on july 31st =$. i like walking, mainly with my two best friends it's a lot more fun that way and it keeps me wanting to walk more, i would have done 6 miles one day but i walked in flipflops and i couldnt walk anymore haha. i haven't been to a support group for a long time =/ i dont even know when they are anymore. haha thats awesome , i do have a facebook (:
-
thanks (: and its okay, being banded in the begining was hell,then i turned 19 and wasnt able to stay on the insurance i had, so i hit a rock in the road, but i finally got insurance so i will be getting my first fill soon(i havent had my first fill due to severe nausea then when i got better lost my insurance) but i managed to lose 33-36 pounds, i was down 42 pounds but gained a little back cause i feel hungry all the time and i hate it. i feel bad about that, ohwell i guess, i will get there (: it is a good way to get to know people on here
-
thanks! ^^
-
Oh my god!!!!! I now have insurance!!!!! I will be getting a fill sometime soon ahhh im so excited!!!
-
awh that stinkg, but whatever you need help with in school i can try my best to help you
you should start telling yourself positive things like "i can do this and when i am finished i will look awesome!) just keep positive, dont let anything stop you!! yes youre gonna have to lol -
called today, it's 200$ for a fill PLUS $66 for the office visit. i can not post pone my dentist appointment, i NEED this tooth filling. we are making payments. and i didnt mean just one fill. i'm pretty sure my band is getting rotten, cause its been there for ahwile and hasnt done much. it seemed that my docotor isnt all that concerned cause he never checked up on me after i got my surgery, and still doesn't. i was dry heaving at the begining and they didnt check to see if it went out of place or whatever(if it can with dry heaving). im pretty sure all they want was their money. to me it works in its own way eventhough i have no fill...if i eat too fast it lets me know..to slow down or throw the food away.. but i have told my doctor when i use to go for the monthly checkups whats going on and every thing. november 11th was my last vist before i no longer had insurance. that was the ending month of my nausea, i would have gotten my first fill that day if i wasnt so nauseated, but now thats gone and yes i desperately need a fill.. there is no other doctor around here, the closest is vermont and it stills costs $$ to go over there, the next one i heard of is NYC and thats 6 hours away dont call me a failure cause you dont think im giving it my all, you should be giving me props cause im in my last year of high school and trying to do everything right and dealing with a bunch of crap..i should get props for losing 36 pounds and not gaining more that 2 and then losing that 2 i like what BetsyB said "ETA: A final thought: If you really aren't willing or able to make a fill (or, more likely, series of fills) a priority, there is NO reason why you can't eat as though you have restriction. Many of us who are not yet at our sweet spots eat as though we were. We choose lean Proteins, nonstarchy veggies, fruit, heart-healthy fats--all in moderation. We weigh and measure our portions, and when they're gone, we stop. Even if we are still hungry. Even if the person across from us is eating something that looks good to us, and that we want to share."

oh haha, i get out a day before lol. i did that one year, i think it was my freshman year through my junior year. i bet it is, i hate when teachers do then and then you have to do the final and dont really know about it cause they didnt teach it long enough then you get it wrong buttt! its their fault lol. me either, i might not have to take the economics final well i know i wont cause if you get a 90 both quarter you dont have to take it and i had a 92 the first and so far for 2nd i have a 98 so yay im high honor roll student and i feel like tutoring people lol i know i cant wait, its been forever it seems. same here, im here for you if you need me as well
you will do fine, if you keep doing what you have been doing, by the time you go for your surgery, you will lose around 50, just keep at it and you will get there !! yes, if you have to, trick your mind (: -
1. im not sure if i heard it right but the fills might be 180$ 2. i'm going to ask my mom to call while im in school tomorrow cause i forgot what time they close 3. he does his fills in the office 4. this is the place i got my band surgery and is the only place around here that i know of that has lapband surgery 5. i seriously do need this fill or two, i need to get my teeth bill out of the way first 6. maybe my mom and i can come up with a plan 7.i do have a job, right now i'm saving up for something ive wanted for awhile, i probably wont be getting one untill after graduation 8.i have a lot of things i want to save up for, yes this is one of them 9.the school does have a counceling service i think, but i just dont feel comfortable and when i talk face to face i mess up my words and i feel embarrassed so yeah, if it really is 180, thats not bad, i know we can definitely come up with a plan for that, i will see if my mom will call them up. my mom really wants to get back on track too and i think shes going to start buying better foods since we got this helpful book to help us, but god...thanks (:

hey, so someone told me about this website that calculates your calories or something like that a few time before on here, if you know what i'm talking about please send the website url this way please. but first, if you use this site, do think it helps you with your weightloss better than writing it down on paper? is it free to join? does it give you any other tips?
