need a little advise from experienced bansters

My last fill was about a month ago. It was the first time I actually felt like I got a fill. It was also the first time I had a major stuck episode. It scared me and I am afraid of having another one. It took me about 2 weeks before I could eat anything other than mushies. I can eat now except sometimes in the morning I cant even get down scrambled eggs. I have a 10cc band and I think I have about 4.75 cc in there now. I have an appointment on Wednesday for another fill, and I cant make up my mi

First Post Op Dr Visit

Went to my first post op appointment today. Dr. said whatever I am doing to keep doing it, because I doing so well. I go back in 3 weeks for my first fill, if I feel like I need it. with the plication, I dont seem to have problems with my portion control, although I do get pretty hungry, I get full real fast too. So far so good.

Banded.... Three Days Out,and Feeling Good!!

Got my lapband/plication on Thurs. I guess I did really good. My RN told me he was surprised, people dont usually do as well as i did. I just basically woke up walked to get the xray thing done and went to the restroom ( wished I had went in opposite order lol). Then I got dressed and went home. The gas has been terrible and the port site is extremely tender, but getting better everyday. Planning on going to work on Tues., I can sit around up there just as easy as here. So here I go. Start of ne

Day 2 Of Liquid Diet

Omgsh, I am only on day 2 of my liquid diet. I am sooooooo hungry. This is so hard, but I know I can do it. I saw a poster of a big steaming pizza. I wanted to lick that thing so bad. lol. I mean, heck road kill is starting to look good!!!!! I am eating 2 shakes and one soup a day. I also have some sugar free fat free pudding I nibble on some, and I hope I am not messing up but I have been putting a couple of whole wheat ritz crackers in my soup. I guess I am lucky because I only have to do a 5

Back On

Following the advice of one of my replies, I called Melissa Jenson at true results and she reffered me to a different Dr. She was great. The other Dr office called me the very next morning. (Dr.Snow). And she already had my insurance co change to him. She already had me a surgery date, Aug 9. and the best thing is they are only charging me half the co pay that Dr carter was charging, and they take my credit card, and no money up front. It will be longer before my surgery,but this just seems lik

Whats The Stinkin Point

Well I had it all figured out.... I thought. after months of driving 40 miles one way for nutritionist appoints, phyc appoints dr. visits, and finally my pre op oppointment. I had my surgery scheduled for this friday. When we get down to the business part of it they say, that will be 2000.00 please, I whipped out my carecredit card and they say.... Sorry we dont take that card. Since I havent got the crapping money thing down pat yet, Its all off. All of this for nothing. I am going to go outsid

Almost There!!!!

Well, I finally got the call yesterday, that I have been waiting on. The insurance approved my surgery, and I have my consult with the surgeon on July 9. I am very excited, cant wait.I went to my lap band consultation on June 6. Got my ekg and pulmonary test. They told me how to eat and what I can expect. The next day I called my Dr and got him to call me in some chantix. My last cigarette was June 15 at 8:30 pm. I highly recommend chantix. After a week of taking it I barely had any desire to sm
