Almost forgot to post this week. After not losing last week, I finally got over the hump. It's so nice to be out of the 230's. (even if it's not much) Haven't had that happen for at least 6 yrs! Hopefully I'll reach my goal of 225 soon! Good job Nymphs.

Feeling really depressed. It has been 8 weeks since surgery and no fill yet. The first fill has to be done at hospital under xray and my surgeon is so busy they are having trouble scheduling the time. The last few days I have been eating way more than I ever have and feeling really down. I gained 2 pounds....Is this bandster hell???? I have kept up with my exercise and spent a hour at the gym today and burned 650 calories in an hour. I hope I get my fill soon and get back on track...I hope it won't take too long. On the bright side.. Congrats to all the November Nymphs. Keep up the grat work friends!

PLEASE... Be assertive about your health care and well being. This surgeon is not just another medical guy your trying to get in on his schedule... He is YOUR surgeon. There are special scheduling situations a LapBand doc puts himself in when he starts doing that Sx. I think your surgeon needs to get his priorities in order and realize he needs to offer a little better "customer service". It is INEXCUSABLE for a lap band doc to be "too busy" for his patients. Why on earth has he made you wait 8 weeks for yor first fill? That is just not right!

If I were in your shoes... I would be calling his office manager and DEMANDING he set aside 30 min. and get my fill done! This is all part of the bariatric program. If he cant service his bariatric patients... maybe a call needs to go into the hospital administrator! Go to the head honco... maybe then this surgeon will service his patients!

I'm going to make it to my first mini goal. Although I think it was a little to mini, I might just make it to 199 for valentines day. That's a much better gift than roses or candy could ever be.
