How can the "fault" be determined ? Mindy

Oh that is AWESOME , I hope they are discussing your case that's even better. ! Just let me know if you need anything! I keep thinking your in class this week ! OH im registering for the LiveStrong 5K Walk Run in Honor of YOU this October:biggrin:. My goal is to RUN it but im going to be happy if i Walk it LOL Just saw the details today on the LAF.org Site. Hope your well ! Mindy

OH no not a NORBIT !!! LMAO Sad thing funniest part of that movie for me was that cause i could relate :drool: Mindy

OH its SO NICE here , probably 75 might be 80 breezy . I SHOULD be outside ! Yep doing plastics. Breast aug with Lift, TT , and my arms if i cant work them out ! mindy

:drool::tt2::tongue2::tt2::tt2::tt2::tt2: (Daddy in a speedo ! Im going to in the am , something is wrong with my hip . Another bandster told me its cause my a$$ is boney now and im sitting on my butt different , basically no more padding ! Which actually makes sense, But it hurts, and feels like it wants to give out certain times. So im going to go tomorrow to get it checked out anyway ! I'll walk tonight just to be safe then see what they say , I look 75 pds THEN my hip starts hurting GO Figure ! Mindy

Now Im not saying you should have these in the house all the time , I dont . I dont by crap and keep in the house, because i have boys too. Sodas are not allowed in my house EVER AGAIN. But I will admit I have not been a "Binge" eater per say . I guess I was a grazer if that makes sense ? for instance if there is a CAKE in the house, I am good with one piece , and then a few hours later another piece , and then another , or another bit then another. THAT not good with the band, the band typically does not stop that . SO What i do is out of sight out of mind. food is put it AS SOON as plates are made in my house. Left overs are not kept . Ect. But I dont "Binge" in the typical sense so in that way I can control it IF I want a candy bar I go get ONE ! The closest thing to chip i keep are toritalla chips . everyone is different. Try to find what works. In general what works for me is not depriving , if i want a burger I eat a burger ( No bun) . I DO MISS Bread on occasions though . Mindy

OHHH ROFLMAO OHHHH ROFLMAO I thought you said BIKINI !!! I about peed myself !!!!!Not sure what your SMOKING My dear BIKINI and ME dont/ wont mix until BOOBIE and TUMMY TUCK are in front of it LMAO :drool::tongue2::tt2::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol: I think im going to do Yoga between runs . I bought some new Shorts and T shirt today at the finish line to run in . Mindy

I do think that some people might not be able to do this . However I do think you can for instance, Chocolate , Say you want some ,, you can find a "healthier" alternative to satisfy your craving, the band is not going to let you eat an entire bag of chips . Even for chips, if you crave that salty crunch , get some healthier version of your favorite chips they are all over now. Also what I do , just so its not as hard, If i have a bag of chips, I will take it and get those snack size zip lock bags, (This goes for anything thats not individually packaged) and say 12 chips is one serving, I break the WHOLE BAG up into this snack bags so each bag has 1 serving, that way if i want chips i grab one LITTLE BAG and not the WHOLE bag, it helps to trick your eyes. You think " OH Ok bags done " It works, for me its less tempting to just keep eating. I do it for my kids too so they dont sit there and eat a whole bag of something. Also you can get chocolates, Like the ghiradeli ( Spelling) Chocolates that are individually wrapped one serving! HTH Mindy

I have crave chocolate i eat it , If i want some ice cream I eat it . Why ? If not your depriving yourself , which IMHO is not different than a diet which lets face it obviously did not work for any of us . I feel if you deprive yourself then you are more opt to go over board. So if you crave something then have a small portion of it . HTH MIndy

Ok im gonna do IT THIS TIME !!! I GOTTA my weight is STALLING . Im RESTARTING WEEK ONE TODAY !!! KICK MY LAZY A$$ Back IN GEAR YA"LL !!!!! DOING IT !!! Mindy:scared2:

Honestly this could be ANYTHING. If you want to know what it is go to the court house and ask for the file , its public record, hence it being in the paper. Seriously good docs get sued more often than you think (that's why medical cots are so high , a reason at least) people bring frivolous law suits against them all the time. NOT that this is one , i have no idea. Your best bet is to go to the court house ask to see the filing and make your own judgement . OR Ask the doc about it himself ! Mindy

I know you will stop on top of it , your good about that stuff. Of course it would be so easy to do it while your out of school. But people cant make things easy on anyone can they ? I hope you hear some news soon ! MIndy

Honestly I after thinking about this some more myself. I would tell her since she IS A nursing student to go to one of her professors and ask THEM more about the Lap Band ! Ask her to educate herself a little bit more ( Most nursing students love to learn about new medical issues) about the LBS and then form an opinion ! Tell her she is NOT informed enough now , does not know enough and after she's been properly educated by either yourself or a professor you will listen to what she has to say . MIndy

This is YOUR Life not hers ! Do what YOU Feel is best. Frankly this is none of her business. I would tell her " thank you for your concern when i want your opinion i'll ASK you for it " Mindy

Keep up your strength and Call your doc back again tomorrow ! Make sure they Know you have not heard from MD A . Heck you might want to call the Lance Armstrong Foundation they might be able to help get you in there. Let me know if you want me to make calls for you while your in school I willdo that im good at making things happen cause im PUSHY! Mindy

I just re read this and sort of laughed. If he's never heard of this before how does he know its going to pass ??? Mindy

Good luck let us know how it turns out ! Mindy

how long ago did you talk to him ? If you talked to him a week ago and its still going on you should call again . After I had my surgery I would have the urge to pee but then would i would go sit down to go I could not go or it took a lot of effort. That lasted about a week . HTH Mindy

I would call your doc . you may have had a cath. But you might have a UTI or something ? call your doc about it . Mindy

I am not 100% sure but I THINK Dr LaMonaco MIGHT do the new procedure. My thinking is you might have to have a "certain" type of need to have it done ? It looks like to me that you would need a lift of sorts but not skin removal for this to work ? I dont know though ? Mindy

Your welcome ! I hope things go well. Sorry i might have missed it when do you see your surgeon ? Mindy

The scar is why i dont want the arm surgery , I saw a girl at my docs office and did the same thing ! About the time i got up the nerve to ask her how bad was the surgery she got called back . As for the scars , there are some i have seen that are ok. Ya GOTTA pick a good surgeon , Also i have seen there is a new procedure ( I dont know how new it is ) where the scar is under the arm pit ? Mindy

I would think so ? But you never know with insurance companies . good luck let us know how it goes. Also maybe the report is incomplete ? your surgeon might have the complete report ? Mindy

Then its probably safe to say you do not have sleep apnea . If you have sleep apnea they will come in at night and put the CPAP on you , adjust the pressures and let you sleep more. that is how they find out what pressures ect to have your CPAP on. Good luck i hope your approval goes well. do you have any other co morbidities ? mindy

did you have the cpap put on you at all during the night ? mindy
