Toqu please let me know how the quickslim 30 works for you. Is it an appetitie supressant or is it supposed to speed up the metabolism

Mini Pearl I am here. I am hoping to start losing now that I have a new fill.

I have lost 3 lbs this week after not losing for 2 months. I am really afraid that will be all I will lose until I get another fill. The first couple of days, I could hardly eat anything. Now it feels back to normal.

I took it for the first time today and I literally had to force myself to eat lunch...Sooo it works great for me!!:clap2:

A pound a day would be sweet :)

I'm sure it won't stay this way but as long as it's steady I'll be happy.

My sister had bypass surgery 4 weeks ago and has lost 30 lbs but is sooooo unhappy because she's sick almost everytime she eats.

I havn't got sick at all and hope it stays that way. Overall I feel good.

Don't think I will be joining the gym because of work and my 11 1/2 month old that keeps me very busy but I have my elliptical and swimming pool (Florida) so I think that will work for now.

As of today I'm down 13 pounds and lovin it. Glad to here your on the same track, I expected the weight loss to be so much less because of the lower BMI.

Loosing s-l-o-w-l-y... Banded 11/30/06 started at 191.5, now 150. Hope for 20-30 more. Still a bit baggy and saggy over waistbands ect. Think 20 -30 more should help. No body has noticed the weight loss, still look overweight, so will keep loosing if I can. No loss in a couple of weeks, but several pounds 3 weeks ago so think I am just "stabilizing".

That doesn't seem so slow! My dr. says 1-2 lbs a week (but closer to 1) is expected and you have done MORE than that! Good for you--hang in there!

You were banded a month before me and you have lost twice as much as I have. I had a fill a week ago and finally lost 3 lbs after a 2 month plateau, but I havn't lost anything since then.:phanvan

well i got my second fill last thursday...under fluro, this time way too tight. after the third day of not being able to hold anything down i called the doctor (this was on a sunday) he called his nurse and they both came to the office to remove a bit of fill (about .5 of a cc) made all the difference. I lost quite a bit in those 3 days not a good way though. if anyone is interested in Costa Rica Dr. Suarez Castro is the best band Dr. here. his fees are simular to those in mexico and his after care is the best. His office calls me daily after a fill (fills are $70.00 + $50.00 for the fluro if you need it) to see how i am doing. There are other doctors here but I have seen first hand the after care or lack of i should say. If anyone would like contact numbers I will be happy to give them to you. I am so very happy to have found him. I am on my way down once again.

Do you think US doctors would band me with a BMI of 33..? I would self pay.

Yes..That is exactly what I weighed and that is how tall I am. I was banded by Dr. Spevak in Houston, Tx.

So what did you have to do? Did you have to fly there first for the consult, and then fly back for the procedure? And will a local doctor do your fills? Thank you all for the help.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
