*slim* 2 Posted May 10, 2009 I don't know, though, it might be funny working with a surgeon who saw me naked!! HA HA!! I wondered if I was the only person who thought of that. Everytime I have to see him, I think of the fact that he knows what I looked like naked! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dwayne Bordelon 0 Posted May 11, 2009 Are any of you attending the monthly support meetings at GBI? I have been to all but one of them (on vacation in March) since I was banded. Craig By the way, the "black headed chick" is Tiffany. :-) I wasn't sure. I forget the names of the people up there. I kind of thought Tiffany was the other nurse. I like her alot(the other nurse) - I think she has a really good demeanor. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

punkster 0 Posted May 13, 2009 (edited) I thought I spotted someone handsome and remarkably intelligent while I was there. I am so excited that I have lost a total of 58 lbs. as of today. I had a fill today and had never been more ready. how is everyone else doing? Edited May 13, 2009 by punkster Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dwayne Bordelon 0 Posted May 13, 2009 I was trying to pay attention to the names of the people Brooke was calling back. What is your name punkster? When I got my fill, Brooke said on a scale of 1-10, I have a fill of three. I think it was her way of saying she put in 3 cc's. I know their policy about telling patients how much fill they have.

That is great about your fill and your weight loss. I am so ready for my fill. I went from having some restriction to being wide open. I have been starving from morning to night. The only thing that is saving me is I don't take anything extra to work with me to eat. If I did, I would be snacking all day.:thumbup: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Carrie_C 9 Posted May 13, 2009 I am really jealous of you all! I had surgery before most of you, but everyone has lost more than me! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
*slim* 2 Posted May 13, 2009 I am really jealous of you all! I had surgery before most of you, but everyone has lost more than me! You have done great! I just weighed a lot more than you at the start. Once I hit your initial BMI, the weight loss slowed down dramatically. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Carrie_C 9 Posted May 13, 2009 Yea, that's what a lot of people said. I also didn't have to do a preop diet like most of you did. I was hoping to be below 200 by now, but I have been stuck the last few weeks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
punkster 0 Posted May 14, 2009 (edited) Im sorry you are feeling bad carriec. i definitely have more than you to lose and you are only a couple of pounds away from onederland. you will be there before you know it. My pre-op diet still accounts for more than half of my current weight loss. i had been getting discouraged but I just had my 6th fill so i am hoping and am told that things should speed up a little. I will be thinking of you. Edited May 14, 2009 by punkster Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

*slim* 2 Posted May 17, 2009 I am glad that your fill is holding. I am going to ask that they check my Fluid level at my appointment this week. I feel like I don't have a band right now. I don't know what is going on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
