Happy 44th Birthday Belmar108!

2 years has passed since you registered at LapBandTalk! Happy 2nd Anniversary Belmar108!

Hi Joe! How are you doing? Well I went back to work this week and wish I had taken a little more time off... Oh well, I will make it. My short term disability insurance was denied because Dr. Perez and Ceron didn't get the paperwork filled out completely. Aetna is going to call them and try to get the information they need. I asked then to please have a spanish speaking person talk to the Doctor. They might get further. It was like pulling teeth to get anything filled out once I was back in the states. I have a feeling if all of this hinges on the good Doctor filling the paperwork out that I might be SOL.

Hope you are adjusting. I haven't been able to contact Kimberly . Have you heard from her? Hope she is doing ok.Are you having any problems eating mushy food? I find that I am getting hungry a couple of hours after eating but can't seem to eat much at one time! So I am still losing weight. 35 pounds so far! Yeah! Tell your sweet wife hello for me and let me know how you are doing!

Hi Joe,

I am feeling a little better everyday, able to do more and having lost a little weight it has made it easier to move around. I have actually lost 32 pounds so far but haven't updated the weight ticker. I don't know how much will actually staly off once I start eating solid foods. I hear some people gain before they get the first fill. I still am not really hungry and am satisfied with little. Hope it stays like that! I guess the band is doing what it is suppose to do.

Sounds like you are doing good! I hope that continues! Have you gone back to work yet? I go back the 20th.

Susan, how are you doing? I am doing well, I have figured out what I can and CANNOT eat! Your stats show that you are down 25 pounds, that is awesome!!!!

Joe, Good for you! I am happy you are doing so well. My maiden name is Murphy which pretty much sums it up, if something can go wrong it does! I am optimistic that in the long run I will make it through and that this was still the right thing to do. Yes I have lost 20 pounds already. I followed the pre-op diet and the pounds just fell off. I had told one of my friends if I could just stick to the pre-op diet I wouldn't need the surgery LOL. Keeping it off would have been another story though. Glad to see you joined the forum. There is a wealth of information out there and so much encouragement from lots of people going through the same thing as you. I wish you continued success with your band. Good Luck! Tell Dee Hello.

Hey Susan, This is Joe.....How are you doing? In your profile, it says you have already lost 20 pounds is that right? I am so sorry that you had a terrible experience getting home! I have had a relative good experience thus far.......I haven't been sick nor have I felt hungry!!
