Hi from Houston Tx =)

you guys are correct; I only saw the nurse. Weighed in (no change, ugh), flashed her my scars and left. Was there for maybe 10 min total. Don't get me wrong, they're very nice and professional, just didn't see Felix himself. Oh, and I got the go ahead for a fill in a few weeks @ the surgicenter. She said since I'm a cash patient, I should get filled for free for the first year. BTW, nothing is free-- just prepaid!

So Karen was your 1st fill free.. when you went cause i was cash patient too???

Brat-

nurse just gave me the ok to make an appt in a few weeks for a fill-- haven't had one yet. I haven't asked the s/center yet if it's free or not. I'll do that when I make the appt.

I'm on my daughter's site set up this morning so she can have support. We're out near Beltway 8 and Memorial. Perhaps we could get some type of support group out here. I imagine those I see on here banned 9/1 were the same I saw in recovery. Ashley is doing fine. Has lost 10 pounds and headed to gym for first trip on treadmill to walk.

Keep us posted. Just learning site

Ash's mom,

We're a nutty bunch, but welcome to our tree.

Carlene, that would put you somewhere in the neighborhood of Leona?

[Carlene 12]

No....North Richland Hills - never heard of Leona.

My surgeon was Dr Adam Smith, one of the best in my book. He has a great personality/bedside manner AND he's one of us - a BANDSTER.

Oh, duh, my bad. I read it wrong. Must have been a gray moment....

Hey Brat-

I've made the appt for my first fill-- Sept 27. I asked about the "free fills" for self pay and the answer is yes. You get free fills for the first 12 months. Hope all is well.
