Does everyone get the lidocaine shot before a fill??
Laptastic replied to mommakatx2's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
My doctor doesn't give a shot before a fill. I'm a pain-wimp, and to me, it didn't hurt at all...tiny pin prick. -
Considering gastric band
Laptastic replied to Crash220's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Good luck with whatever you decide. -
You don't want to drink while or right after eating because it will flush the food through. You want the full feeling as long as possible, so don't flush the food.

I'm down three pounds for the week. -
Just the image that's stuck in my head.

How about "should of" instead of "should have".

Laptastic replied to gabi311b's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My fill went fine...no problems at all. It didn't hurt either. While I immediately had some restriction with the fill, I think it really kicked in last night (a week later). I've read that other people sometimes experience that. Not complaining. Still able to eat, but not much. -
OMG that is hilarious and a little disturbing because that's how I pictured her when I saw her preaching in another thread!

I'm a March 19th-er too. I had my first fill last week. Go to your User CP and find "edit avitar" to change your picture. Click on anyone's ticker and it will take you to the website you need, to create your own. Good luck. -

New to the site and just banded
Laptastic replied to dianesue99's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Welcome Diane! Congratulations on getting the band. Good luck! -
I'm sure I will spend too much money trying to feed you two. I have to eat too. How about, "wear, were, where". They are not interchangable. Ooh, I hate, "I have three brother-in-laws." It's brothers-in-law. I thought I was the only pain in the ass that was annoyed by this.

Longtime lurker finally posts........will prob be self-pay.
Laptastic replied to amlus's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Hi Amlus. I was a self-pay. Jump on a cheap Southwest Airlines flight to Denver and you can pay $9950 which includes everything, including your first three fills. After that, fills are only $15. -
Just got my first fill today! I'm happy to have some restriction.

I LOVE that stuff. I mix it with Water, a scoop of Fiber, and ice in a magic bullet and it's delicious. I've only tried the banana, but I plan on trying the strawberry next. Also, GNC has a very generous return policy. If you don't like the Protein powder, they'll take it back and give you a full refund.

I went to Disneyland and ate like a normal person. +1 for me, but I get my first fill tomorrow. I think the only reason I didn't gain more is because of all the walking I did. -

You could be a motivational speaker! Or one of those coaches at half-time you see in the movies, where the team pulls it together for the win. -

Hi Rannah. I used to live in Grand Junction. My family owned the McDonald's that used to be on North Ave across from Wienerschnitzel. Hey, we owned a McDonald's...I'm beginning to sense a connection as to why I needed the band. Hmmm lol -

Check out my hot new avitar! I thought the old one was too frumpy. This is what I hope to end up looking like. -

Laptastic replied to Shesha's topic in Weight Loss Surgeons & Hospitals
It's alright. I'm eating lots of protein and fruits and veggies. Being very good. I'm not hungry because of all the protein. I'm at a stand-still with the weight loss, but I know this is temporary. Looking forward to my fill. -

I'm going to Disneyland on Wednesday. This will be my first Disney experience, besides visits to the Disney Store. I'm hoping I fit on all the rides. Wish me luck.
