    Are administrative fees a norm?

    My doctor didnt charge any additional fees. The only out of pocket expense I incurred was the $100 deductible for being hospitalized.

  13. Hi, liteweighttrina

     

    I was viewing the blogs and I noticed you said you were having issues losing weight 'cause your band was beat up. How did you know? I have been trying to lose and its been really hard even though I exercise and dont eat much. What symptoms did you have? What was the process to correct the problem? Any info you can share will help.

     

    Again congratulations on your progress.

    Hi, Rosa0120 I was where you are right now. Don't let this get you down? Just take it one day at a time. Some some simple things to see if it helps: - don't eat or drink 1/2 hour before or after meals - eat from a saucer - try to get 15-20 minutes of exercise daily I questioned if I made the wrong decision with getting the surgery. But then I had to remember that the "Band" is not the magic tool to losing weight, just an assistant agent. These are some of the changes I made that assisted with my weight loss. I was banded in June '08 and I had a steady weight loss after the changes. Stay positive and everything will work out!! Fitfalife91
  17. Hi, Mercedes77

     

    I totally understand you not telling people, I was banded in June, 08 and right now only my husband and niece knows. I decided not to tell more people because I dont want to hear "you dont need the band, have you tried to lose weight on your own?" Especially when I have tried for 15 years to lose weight very unsuccessfully.Please feel free to blog anytime with questions. I hope I can offer some assistance.

  18. Hi, musicfrommyheart

    Congratulations on your 43 lbs weight loss. When were you banded? How much exercise do you incorporate into yourself day? I've heard protein shakes are good, however, I haven't found one that taste good. Any suggestions???

  20. What's up, Bucktober

    Just noticed you on the blog. You look fabulous. I have something to look forward to. When were you banded? How much weight have you lost? How much exercise do you incorporate into your daily routine? I am asking these questions because I seem to have hit a plateau. I was banded last june, 08 and I have lost about 40 lbs. I am stuck and need some guidance. Hope you can offer some advise.

How many pounds did you lose on an average monthly? And last but not least, how much exercise played a part in your success??? fitfalife91

    Can someone help me?

    julie.ann You indicated that you have dropped 90 lbs. When did you get banded and what is the average monthly weight loss? fitfalife91

    Congrat!! This is only the beginning. Make sure you take it slow and take one day at a time so that you dont get overwhelmed. The biggest thing to remember is not to eat and drink at the same time. Once you start eating, wait about 1/2 hour before you drink something. Keep us posted.

    Angry at the Band or the Doctor??

    Hi, Bio - when I read your comments I felt like dejavu. I felt exactly the same way you are feeling. As Cheryl said, this is not the magic tool. Do me a favor? When you eat out, when your food is brought to the table, automatically ask for a doggie bag and remove 1/2 your food. You can drink before you eat, but once you start eating, wait 1/2 hour after eating before you drink again. Those were two adjustments I had to make that assisted with my weight lost. I got my surgery in June, 08 and I have lost a total of about 40 lbs. When I hear other people talk about 75-10o lbs weight lost, I get frustrated, but then I have to remember that it's not going to leave overnight. Just be patient and take it one day at a time. I would love to hear about your progress. Fitfalife91
