Lol, it's the birthplace of imperial sugar.

Sound like you are eating too fast. Your full feeling now will be totally different than what your used to. For me its just a desire to not east anymore or the hiccups.

If you are on meds for high bp and a cpap you should qualify, unfortunately they dont consider anxiety or pcos as compenities.

Its not the same to me at all. Hard to explain but I just stop wanting to eat, but I don't have that full feeling like before.

What are your bmi 's ? They must be 40+ with no comorbities or 35+ with two, no exceptions with this insurance co. Have you had sleep studies done? Nine times out of ten a heavy person has sleep apnea (per my doc ), that could be your ticket.

Wow, such a powerful story. Contrasts on your new journey and the decision to get healthy. Who you tell and if you tell is your business . Your life is just beginning. Please keep us posted on your successes!

Congrats! I just got there yesterday! Felt so good to see that ONE.

Mine took less than a week.

I had 5cc in a 10cc band. Now I have 4.5 and I think it'll be a while before I get another one.

I just had an unfill this morning for the same thing. You're probably too tight. I tried to last through the night and was miserable. I was throwing up the plegm and foam all night. I feel better now but am so sore from hurling and hiccups .

I was at the office at 7am ready to be unfiled. They took. 5 out and I feel so much better.

I couldn't even last 24 hours being to tight. I went this morning and feel so much better!

I went in first thing this morning to get a sought unfill. I started hurling foam in the middle of the night and it was not pleasant.

Geniuos, thank you!

I'm experiencing the same thing. So do you just wait it out our did you get unfill? I'm hiccuping, gurgling, foaming, and sipping liquids but that's tough. Just got a fill today.

I just got a fill today and am having trouble with liquids. I wanted to wait and see if it loosens a little but the hiccups and foam and discomfort is becoming unbearable. I may be calling in for an unroll first thing in the morning.

I drink beer! No problems here.

I plateau too but I seem to plateau, loss, plateau, loss, etc. I'm plateauing right now but about to head in with a fill.

The only thing I've found that I couldn't eat is an Orange. I actually didn't even swallow. I chewed and chewed and realized I still had a glob of those fibers that weren't breaking down after a long chew. So I spit it out and didn't even try. Same thing happened with sausage now that I think about it. I had to spit our the casing. Nothing else has bothered me other than having to slow down. I'm still not in my green zone but I have a fill today.

Congratulations on your success! I do not find your post offensive. I am definately one that is excited to one day fit in a summer dress, although, Ive seen both my parents in their 60s still fighting obesity and many obesity related health problems and knew I was headed in the same direction. That was the primary reason I decided to get this surgery. Now my own mother has seen my journey, even though in early on and still have a ways to go, she has started considering wls to regain her health. I used to keep my surgery a secret but have realized that I would have never got to where I am today, almost 40LBS down, without hearing other people stories. So now I tell anyone who approaches me asking what I've done to lose weight.

Wait so if my oop was 1300, it's really 4300 because I have a 3000 deductible?

Wow I did not know this.. Thanks for asking... Do copays. Go towards the deductible?
