Hey every 1 still doing well just got my 3rd fill the other and have great restriction now. I hope you all are doing awsome!!

have you gotten any replys yet are you still wanting to have it done

lots of luck to you summer insurance takes a while sometimes

ya bcbs of new jersey covered mine 100 percent it just depends on the state ur in and all that good stuff but it took me 7 months of work to get mine approved

Hey guys I don't understand what fish and chips is I mean do you just have some fish and some doritos lol. Sorry for my illeteracy on that.

:help: Hey everyone I was banded on 1/25 of this year and I have been doing really well, but I think I'm starting to slip away from the correct way of life that the band urges you to have. I feel as if I can eat more than I am supposed to, and its really hard for me not to drink with my meals. I guess my main concern would be overstreching my pouch which scares the life out of me to even think about. I mean I just had my first feel and it seems like the restriction isn't what its supposed to be although my doctor said my pouch looked perfect. Mainly when I eat the food feels like it gets stuck for a moment once the pain is gone from those first two bites I can eat pretty good, but its almost like I could eat like I used to other than those first two bites, although I haven't tested the limits of the band I feel as if I am eatin a little more than I should at meal time, and feel like I could fit even more if that makes since, so I'm asking for advice from anyone who knows what Im goin through....

Hey everyone still doing great got my first fill yesterday and I'm down 47 lbs. yay!! 13 pounds and I'm in the 2's finally be the first time in 3 years the scales have seen that number. Hope you all are doing great!

Ive told everyone and most reactions have been pretty positive.

my pain lasted for like 2 days but walk as much as possible it helps. After the 3rd day I didn't even take any pain meds. And now I feel totaly normal

Hey everyone everything is still doing good after my surgery, I'm on soft foods this week and then solid foods starting thurday and hopefully get a fill after march 1, but so far I think I've done really good with the band, I hope this has been as easy for all of you as it has for me.

Hey everyone I'm Chris and I live here in the Chattanooga area or close by anyhow and my Dr. is Dr. Fromm, u may not have heard of him but you probably have heard of Dr. Ponce which is his partner. Any how just thought I'd see if anyone lived close by, I'm being banded on 1/25/07 wish me luck!:faint:

Hey everyone I'm back from surgery everything went great I feel great and I'm eating soups and juices and yogurt for now, I'm down 35 lbs from my highest and hey its all downhill from here!
