Hey!!!How are you doing??I finally got my second fill! so happy, not much difference but its getting better and im doing good, down 30lbs since 8-11 so cant complain. I pack my lunches and been going to the gym. Did you get snow too? I just bought candy and hope to give it all away tomorrow. lol Did you join a gym? i did before my surgery and feel soo much better. Love it! TTYS

Hi Sarah! i just went on Friday..altho I dont see a diff. He gave me .5 and I begged him for more, so then he gave me another 1. He said I am losing and dont need much, I said I am starving all the time so he realized I needed more. LOL I am down 30lbs since August so i am very happy but of course wanna lose more. How have you been?Are you getting ready? Are you starting to lose or going wild? lol

How are you doing?? Getting ready? I was supposed to go for a fill tonight and they cancelled...waiting for next week. Hope all is well Cara

ps the sleep anea was the worst part by far, I hated it and its a sleep over in Lynbrook. Terrible but after all is done it was just another hurdle to jump for getting the band. Did you complete all your other testing??

I had the same issue with my insurance too...I had to pay the deductible and it almost seemed to good to be true but once my deductable was paid...i pay nothing now, no co pays and no money for fills. The lap band meetings are on wed at south nassau not sure whats going on Thurs.

HELLOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!! how have you been??? Hope the school year is going well and im sure keeping you busy. Im doing great and getting my second fill on Monday, Im looking forward to it LOL Hows banded life? ttys cara

the binder had all papers, doctors I visited, questions to ask my lapband dr and all the specialist that I saw. It is so important to ask questions along the way. Stay on Lapbandtalk and write it all down. I also attend my dr's group meetings every month and have a support group fromo family and friends that have had the procedure..Im here to help too!!! whatever you need! Good Luck and ttys

Hey Sarah!! Sounds good, Im in!!!! I have been on/off and go very well and follow all the rules...then I go off and get back on the path. I dont regret the band and use it as a tool to help me..Im down about 30lbs in 2 months..Im very happy with my progress but its not easy and I put in a lot of work!! Definitly get prepared and write everythihng down, I am a teacher and I had a binder...

Hey Skinny Mini! I did like dr. Vohra and the whole staff. I feel they want to get you on the table but as far as educating you for the surgery or what to eat after..well that is up to you and what you make of it. I feel I can talk openly with dr vohra about anything so I ask a lot of questions. There is a meeting on Wed at South Nassau, I always go to the mtgs, let me know if you are goin...

when do you go for a fill? I definitly need another. I dont have much restriction and try and use my best judgement but I have noticed this week there is nothing I cant eat, I even had a slice pizza last night, hadnt had pizza since the week before my surgery. I have 5.5 but wonder what will be my sweet spot. How have you been? I always run out of room on this post to wall thing

Hi Dawn!! doing great! I went for my fill on Friday, i was hoping for more restriction but will go back next month. I have 5 1/2 cc. Ive been making good food choices and stop myself when I start to feel full. Ive lost 22lbs and am very happy with the way its going. How about you? Hows school? How have you been with weight lost and restriction? talk soon!! :-)

I keep running out of space on here I had to cut most and post grrrr its late and going to bed..had a handful of goldfish..bad girl!! lol

I cant wait for my fill on the 16th. Went to the movies with my daughter today and wanted to test myself and took some popcorn, it went down fine, that fill cant come soon enough LOL schools is good and just trying to finish lesson plans..never ending and as always back to school is insane! I know when I get my fill I will be unable to get some stuff down. Chili has been my firend hehe ttys

Hi Dawn!!! I just got these messages. I replied under band buddies but I lost power for almost a week with "Irene" it was a nightmare....How have you been doing?? How is it back at work? Im finding it day to day, i am starting to eat again and feel I can get most stuff down..unfortunatly!! I did take a bite of spaghetti but spit it out, wasnt going to go down lol Miss you!!! talk soon!!
