I dunno I think she's marching to her own drum making crap up as she goes along ! I like how she argued with Dr Phil and said "OH as a counslor WE Dont give advice " FIRST Off Ding bat YOUR not a counselor yet second off big lips Dr Phil was TRYING to educate you and say " YES YOU can its all how you deliver it " But she who know's all wouldnt shut UP long enough to hear what he was saying. that's what i got out of the interview. she KNEW tha question before it got out of his mouth and woudl talk over him. She had NO Intention of hearing a damn thing of what he said or his advice ! She was only there for her own gain ! Mindy

I dont see how the guidelines could shut a hospital down ? I think if a doc does not want to perform an abortion he should not have to . HOWEVER, he should provide information to a woman to a doctor who WILL and provide information to the woman on where she could go get one or what her other options are. I use to work for a doctor who did not believe in abortion and left it up to ME a CA to provide information to a woman on abortion . how assanine is that ? What if i was not giving her accurate information ? All i could do was give her info on where to go . But i was not a trained Nurse . It was irresponsible of him to leave that info to me . He had NO IDEA what i was giving her. I always gave her info of a doc that WOULD provide that info to her. Mindy -

AP Source: Obama to rescind Bush abortion rule Bravo !!! While i say a doc has the right to refuse to do an abortion UNLESS its under a medical emergency , I do NOT Think a doc has the right to not give a patient ALL Their options. So I say good for Obama !! Mindy -
She better hope she's got her shit together now , She's got the WHOLE WORLD's eye on her now . The hospital CAN deny releasing the babies to her if they do not think they will be in fit home. Just as if you do not have a car seat for your baby they cant tell you " SORRY cant take them until you have a car seat " So if she does not havea fit home the hospital can say " SORRY they cant leave with you UNTIL you have a fit home" I STILL Think she's made a deal somewhere. I like what some legal analyst said " LET HEr do a TV Show at least THAT WAY we can ALL Keep an eye on those babies " He's got a point ! As much as I dont liek Dr Phil sometimes. I think he's going to be keeping an eye on her ! Mindy

I think people do not want to go through what they think woudl be percieved as shame to have the baby then give it up . Abortion can be a secret, No one ever has to know . So no one has to know your "Mistake" no one has to "Judge" you if they dont know . Its easy for people to judge you if your pregnant. Everyone thinks and acts as if abortion is the"easy" way out and its not . I dont think any option is easy . Mindy -

I think that's the wrong assumption to make . Maybe THAT clinic. But the one i went to , we had to go through counseling and go over all our options . Then come back another day to schedule our procedure after we had time to think about it and they had counselors there to talk about the options if we needed it . They had pamphlets, numbers ect of adoptions agencies , ect . So , I do not think that its fair to say they were not offered choices. You do not know that . Mindy -
Can my body really become a small size?
coltonwade replied to bunnygirl's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Also one of the best ways to "SEE" Your progress is pictures. take pictures often. I did not see my progress until i looked at pictures. To this day If i buy something I go home take a picture of me in it and see if i like what i see. That's why i have some many progress pics !! ! So take pics ! If you start feeling like " I have not made any prgoress compare yourself to the before and the nows , you will change your mind ! Mindy -
Can my body really become a small size?
coltonwade replied to bunnygirl's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I was a 22/24 when i started this process. Even though in high school i was a size 2/4 I could never even imagine being that size again . I am now a size 4 but go back and forth between a 4 and a 6. I can tell you this . I do not see myself as Small though. I See myself as SmallER but not small. I no longer just recently see myself as fat . I still do not like what i see in the mirror. Most of that has to do with the hanging skin i have. But I do not feel like a fat person anymore. I can tell you this . Do not sell yourself short. If you want to be a size 4 or 140 pds and it takes you 2 yrs to get there then it takes you 2 yrs to get there. My OB Told me when i started this to expect to lose only that!. So expect to lose and your goal will come . You can do it . Will there be frustration along the way ? Sure. but its part of the process and the end results is AWESOME . The rewards far out weight the frustrations . One of THE BEST days I have had recently: Going over to my parnets house and my sister cleaning out her closet and giving me her clothes she no longer wanted. Big deal right? My sister is 17 and a size 4 !!!!! Hang in there its ALL WORTH IT In the end !! LOve Mindy -
She's getting disablitiy checks for her kids for ADD and Speech Delay ? ARE YOU KIDDING ME ? WELL I guess I need to apply for my 16 yr old who's dyslexic ! NO PLASTIC SURGERY ! What ever , And I didnt use to weight 250 pds ! Mindy

dahh Sorry just saw your message. Thanks ! yeah i bounce between a 4 and a 6 right now . But i am a 4 . Thank you for your kind words ! Your doing great. I see your in dallas . I am in Austin !

really the "brush" up appt is a good first step and probably better done in person in my opinion . And i would guess something that would not need to be done a lot ? I needed it initially just to kind of give me some ideas of what i could eat as some foods had to be eliminated. its just a good idea to kind of give you motivation. My nut is VERY motivational . She does a great job of encouraging me. So that's helpful too. But i say if your insurance pays for the visits. If you need them schedule one every fill appt . Mindy
-
Sorry i just read this a little better . I would suggest when you go in for your next fill also make an appt with your nutrionist . Its sometimes good if you need it ( I had to do this a few times ) to get a refresher with the nut. tell them you MUST get an appt with both on the same day since your so far away . I live over an hour away from my doc and i usually see the nut fist then the doc . The band is a great tool. ya just gotta use it in order for it to work. I understand about the money . I am self pay and my fills cost anywhere from $125 to $250 depending if i get flouro or not . But I look at it this way , i came all this way I do not want to go backwards. I may have to wait a little longer than I Should or need to for fills. But I get them . Good luck ! Mindy
-
I am sorry your having such a hard time. I am sort of reading between the lines here. But are you not getting fills ? It seems to me your not utilizing the tool you have , therefore not getting fills as often as you should? I could be wrong if i am please tell me . as for what I eat , suggestions. that can be an on going process . Mainly to keep things interesting. Here , on my blog are some examples of things i eat. Getting Skinny in Texas: What do you eat ? I dont measure things . But i eat until im satisfied not full. Also this blog site has some amazing band friendly food suggestions on it . You might try that ! theworldaccordingtoeggface Good luck The best part about the band is it allows us to get back on track ! Mindy

Good luck , welcome to the site, feel free to ask any questions you might have ! Mindy

The best advice i can give you is the following: 1. expect to lose . (average weight loss is 1-3 pds per week) but JUST expect to lose that's all . 2. do not compare yourself to anyone else. 3. do your research . On the band, on the doc on everything. 4. Make sure you KNOW you CAN DO This. you can follow the guidelines q required of the band. 5. Do not expect to lose a certain amount each week , or by this amount of time if you do in my opinion you are setting your self up for failure. 6. Do NOT expect to lose the first 6 weeks post op that time is for healing and healing ONLY . 7. Do this for yourself , to gain your life back and know this is something you can do for yourself ! Hope that helps. Ask away any other questions. feel free to email me if you like . PS check out my blog in my signuture that might help some too Mindy
