Sad couldn't get my fill today
littlerockbandster replied to Determinedtd's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had this happen on my very first fill. I went back in a couple of days later and they checked it under x-ray. It was flipped so they went ahead and put me to sleep to flip it back where if needed to be. The surgery wasn't bad, and I haven't had any more issues with it. -
I finally made it. It seems like it took forever. I had my lapband surgery in April of 2012. I lost 60 pounds within the first few months and got down to exactly 200 lbs. Then I found out I was pregnant. I gained 40 lbs back during my pregnancy. Now I finally lost the 40 I gained and made it to ONEDERLAND.

I have one at home that I use everyday. It's perfect for making shakes or frappe's. Keep in mind it is way more powerful than a blender. I like mixing a scoop of protein powder with coffee, creamer, Splenda, and ice. Delicious.

Are You A Arkansas Bander?
littlerockbandster replied to loseit's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I also had my surgery in Arkansas. I was banded April 30, 2012 by Dr. Mark Gibbs. I've lost 55 lbs so far. Please do your research on all of these surgeons because I have heard that one of them has many malpractice suits against him. Good luck. -
Yes. I actually have the Realize band. So far I love it. It took me around 9 months to go get through the insurance approval requirements. It's all worth it though. I'm buying clothes sizes that I haven't worn in probably ten years.

Yes. Dr. Gibbs is a great surgeon. I was banded on April 30 and have already lost about 40 lbs. you will love his nurse Carrie too. She helped me out so much on getting my approval. Good luck!
