Yeah, I think I got mine at walmart, I know it had her picture on it. I love it, I'm getting another.

I love the cacique bras! But since surgery the underwire bothers me and my incisions. Not comfy. So I found a great bra, I think it's Queen Latifah's line, no underwire and the support is amazing! I was very suprised.

Can you not switch hospitals and surgeon?? That price seems aweful high! Sorry to hear your bad news!

I was in the same boat about 2 yrs ago. My insurance wouldn't cover me, didn't find that out until I tried to go for my sleep test. And I couldn't get financed and couldn't afford it. I was soooo sad! So I just prayed about it, and put it on the back burner. In the meantime I worked on my credit score, got a couples raises at work... Year and a half later I got focused and looked high and low for the right surgeon, the right price, and the right financing. And thank goodness I finally I had my surgery! I guess I'm saying HANG IN THERE! You never know when things might turn around and it could happen for you. Don't give up if it's really what you want!! Good luck to you!

Waiting a possible 12 months for surgery?! Vent
amberstar replied to hadc's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
What area are you in? I would def try to find another hospital and surgeon. I was self pay, but I had a surgery date within two weeks. Good luck -
I am feeling better! I talked to my nurse today, she is super sweet & one of those people that just makes you feel better ya know?! She calmed my nerves. But I'm still meeting with surgeon on 30th. But my restriction is great today! Getting fuller faster!
Well I hope your doc appts went ok today, they are usually no fun, lol. I'm getting ready to pack for my trip to NM. I'm leaving on Sun. So I've been tanning and I"m getting my hair done on Fri. Gotta look hot for my hubby! haha
When do you get to start on solid foods?

how to move forward without insurance
amberstar replied to msde83's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I also used surgeryloans.com for part of mine and the other part I went through care credit. My surgeon required payment in full one week in advance. It was really easy and I'm so glad I did it -
Lifting restrictions and surgeon not at appt....
amberstar replied to christymarie's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
The physicians assistant does my fills. I've only seen the surgeon once since surgery and i'll see him again jan.30 for another checkup. I'm not sure about the weight restrictions tho... But if your uncomfortable with the nurse or whoever, I would request the surgeon also -
Can you take birth control pills?
amberstar replied to Pink101's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
You shouldn't have any problems with pills unless they're really really big! I take all my vitamins and medications with no problem. As long as it's one at a time. -

I saw those too! I want one! -
I've been so sad today, I'm stressing a little. He thinks if it is a leak it's small and he doesn't want to do surgery. I dunno, I was just talking to the physicians assistant. I'll talk to the surgeon on the 30th. BUT I am filled to 7.2cc today, and I really feel restriction so far with just my liquids! So I'm trying to stay hopeful, maybe it was just en error in paperwork and they wrote down my cc's wrong. ugh
Thanks for caring, I needed some love today!

Good Luck Amber! Dont be scared! I hope it all works out for you! *Hey, you're close to me! I'm in Texarkana :thumbup: -
Sorry to hear about your doggies! That's so sad! I would be freakin out.
Yeah it's really cold here today. I've felt so bad today... I'm cramping. So I've stayed in my p.j.'s and put up my Christmas decorations
Gotta get up early and head to the big D tomorrow for my fill! I need some more cc's!! haha
Have a great night!

Aw your mom sounds fun!
I can't believe you stayed up until 5!! Ah I miss the days sleeping in till noon, now I have a pesky chihuahua waking me up at 8:30 wanting to go potty, lol.
My legs are sore today! That is so pitiful! I only did 30 min of cardio, shows how out of shape I am, hehe

Bye girlie!

Hey! Well your mom must be a smart lady, hehe. Those games are awesome.
My bacon was wonderful!
I forget you just had surgery, the mushy stage was so much better than liquids! But really the turkey bacon is good, I can't really tell a difference. I just had some tuna and crackers for lunch, def not my fav! But it'll do in a pinch! lolI'm not doing anything today! I took a shower, put on some comfy clothes, and I'm watching Dog Whisperer now, lol.
Do you have big plans today? When do you have to go back to school?
Talk at cha later lady!
