How many visits with Doc. before surgery
amberakamom replied to NJGirl32's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Before the surgery I only saw him at my consult. I see him at every post-op appointment. -
It's possible, but not probable.

Anyone else obsessed with the scale after surgery?
amberakamom replied to isabella2's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm still obsessed. It works for me. I know when I stop weighing all the time it's because I'm scared of what it might say! -
Is your port area sore?
amberakamom replied to jamiesdoingit's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My port has never been sore, but I think it is a pretty common problem. -

amberakamom replied to desertmom's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I would see a doc ASAP, your band could've slipped. Good luck! -
Me too.

newbie - how bad are the side effects?
amberakamom replied to nikki c's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I was banded 4 months ago and I have never slimed, puked, pb'd or been stuck, but I have lost 40 pounds! -
I posted some pictures on my blog today. I can finally see a difference! And, wow, that before picture looks so uncomfortable! http://imwiththeband7.blogspot.com/p/pictures.html

hehe I know! I actually tied a knot in that one so it wouldn't be so baggy. Thank you for the compliments you guys!

amberakamom replied to jennifer1's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Mine is a couple inches below my bra line, right in the middle. -
How many of you had plastic surgery covered by insurance?
amberakamom replied to blackcherry2002's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
Here is what tricare says- Panniculectomy (tummy tuck) performed in conjunction with an abdominal or pelvic surgery when medical review determines that the procedure significantly contributes to the safe and effective correction or improvement of bodily function. http://www.tricare.mil/mybenefit/jsp/Medical/IsItCovered.do?kw=Reconstructive+Surgery&topic=Women -
If you have cable check out Exercise TV on OnDemand under the free section.

That's cool! I had to google it. I had never heard of it before.

I know bread is going to be tough, but Is Pizza out of the question?
amberakamom replied to Wheeler5051's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I have 6 cc's in my 11 cc band and have no restrictions on what I can eat. I am not at my sweet spot, so I'm sure it will be different once I am. -
Good luck! The TT is the one that scares me the most, but I know I'm going to need one too!

Surgery 4-28, Camping 4-29
amberakamom replied to icinderella's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
That would be a big fat NO. I was a fast healer with not a lot of pain and there is no way I would have been ok to go camping. -
Eating without drinking
amberakamom replied to Lady Lexie's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I thought it would completely suck, but it actually came pretty easily. =D -

Is an Unfilled Band the same as no band?
amberakamom replied to SoCalAvsFan's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
For the 1st month or so I felt restriction from just the empty band, because of swelling, etc... Now I am 3 months out and have 6.1 cc's in an 11 cc band and can pretty much eat like before. The band does keep my hunger at bay though, so it is definitely still helping me! -
Sounds like harmless flirting. ???

It's really frothy, which I don't like. I love love love unjury.

How long did you stay home from work
amberakamom replied to cat lady's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am a stay at home mom, but if I worked, I think 1 week would be the perfect amount of time to take off. -
Just wanna share and see what you have to say to me.
amberakamom replied to Nykee's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
My only other advice would be to watch The Secret. -
I took a few before my pre-op diet. Not to remember where I was, but to see how far I have come.
