Hey Amy, How have you been doing after surgery? HOw much have you lost so far? -
I'm sorry about your insurance telling you to reapply. That must suck! Maybe this is a miracle in disguise. Maybe this was meant to be for a reason. I was supposed to get my first fill 2 weeks ago, but my surgeons office cancelled on me with no reason. I had to reschedule after my docs vacation is over which will be in another week 04-11-09. That's 7 weeks! I was supposed to get my fill at 4 weeks. I am finally over it now, and think maybe this was meant to be for a reason. They say if you have a fill to fast that might not be good for us. So, I let it go. You will get over it too. I wish you luck, I hope your surgeon and insurance respond quickly so you can get your fill. :thumbdown:

It sounds to me like he's afraid to lose his eating buddy and possibly lose you period. I know with my boyfriend, he was feeling a bit insecure at one point. He said he accepted me for who I am either way but he wanted me to be happy so he finally gave in. He said that if I left him in the end, after I lost the weight, then as long as I was happy that is ok with him. I don't know how much of this is true. I am hearing a lot of women that leave their husbands and boyfriends after the weight loss, only because they felt that they settled for a person that accepted them being overweight. I don't know, I maybe one of those women myself. I guess we will see in time.

Hey girl, That is so great you lost so much weight already! Are you eating right and exercising?

Yeah my friend lives in San Diego with her kids now, her husband is in the Marines, so they move a lot. She wants to move back to Round Lake though. They own a home there. Yes, I need to have more patience and start to eat healthier and work out more. Good luck with your fill, mine is in 2 weeks. I can feel the port underneth my skin. If I touch it I can feel it. Sometimes when I get up fast, kinda like a sit up, I can feel it and sometimes it kinda pinces or hurts if I make a fast move like that. Sometimes I don't feel like I had surgery either, except for when I ate bread today and it got stuck in my chest, it went down with time though, had to drink sips of Water. I haven't even had my first fill, and its strange how I'm getting stuck like that, but I guess that means I should not be having it.

Cool thanks. I will check it out.

Sounds like a good deal with you and your hubby on teh same bandwagon. I wish my boyfriend would try to eat healthy with me. Its so hard when we eat, he brings the unhealthy stuff and I kinda follow. I have been bad lately, but I can't blame him, it's my fault.

Need a Dr in the Los Angeles area (long)
POMA replied to muiritelove's topic in Weight Loss Surgeons & Hospitals
I went to Dr. Sergey Lyass in Los Angeles CA. I have had friends that went to Dr. Paya in Glendale and Dr. Davtyan in Glendale CA as well. They are all pretty good docs. My doc is not very friendly, and somewhat rude, so I don't know if I want to recommend him. The surgery went well, so that is the positive about it. -
Hey there,
When did you get your surgery and congrats on losing so much weight already! I too have been a bit lazy lately with working out and eating right. I feel guilty but it's so hard, when my boyfriend is a bad influence and lets me eat what I want. I know I should control it. It's hard sometimes.
When did you get banded? I was banded 02-24-09. First fill 04-11-09.
-
Hey there Sommer. I was banded on 02-24-09. Wow, you lost 23 lbs already! That is great! What is your secret? I only lost 10 lbs so far. ARe you working out and eating right? I kinda fell off the wagon. Have been eating not so great foods.

Hello all, I wanted to join a support group of some kind for my new lap band journey. I will be banded in about 2 weeks, I start my liquid diet next tuesday and I am not looking forward to it. :confused: I have been overweight for mostly all my life, I am at my highest now, 255 lbs and am 31 years old. It's time for a change, it's time for me to start living my life with joy and good health. It's just time. I am feeling a lot of different emotions, such as excitement, sadness, anxious, depressed, all kinds of emotions. I am scared of how all the changes will effect me mentally. I'm so emotional. Anyways, nice to meet ya all.

For me, I am going through a lot of ups and downs. I was depressed right after the band, and now I am ok. Everyone experiences different things ya know. I can't wait for my first fill to see a difference. I wish you luck on your new endeavor. Keep in touch. -
Yeah I think your right, thanks for the support and I don't feel like I'm alone now. Yes, patience, something I have to work on because I feel I don't have any. lol I wish you luck too and I am 31 from Los Angeles CA. My friend just moved back to L.A. from Illinois, she lived in Round Lake IL and my boyfriends family moved out here last year from Moline IL (I think it was). Which part are you from?

Wow, you look great! Inspirational. Can't wait to get to where your at. -
Hello,
I am 5 '1, 248 lbs, just got banded 02-24-09. I just wanted to know. I know it's common sense, but I think I just need a little nudge in my behind from someone other than my boyfriend. I lost 10 lbs and have not lose any more for the last 3 weeks now. My first fill is in 2 weeks. I have only been working out about 1-2x a week on my Wii Fit and my boyfriend keeps telling me I have to work out more than that to lose.
Is it true that you lose more once you have your fill? Should I start really kicking ass and working out hard already 4 weeks out? Well 5 weeks on tuesday? Thank you.
