Thank you for all of your advice I went today and had an unfill of .5 and feel so much better!!! It had gotten to the point where I was vomiting my own saliva; it was bad!

Thank you!

I got my third fill yesterday and drank the water he gave me with no problem. I got home and had broth for dinner and are about 7 or 8 spoonfuls before I was very full. I went to bed almost in tears because of the discomfort I was feeling. This morning, I woke up and drank about 2 oz of water before driving to school. I had to pull over to throw up, and then I had to throw up again as I was walking into the bldg. that was about 3 hours ago and I'm still very uncomfortable and constantly feeling like I need to throw up. I haven't even been able to drink any protein shake. Is this normal?!

You are an inspiration! You look amazing!!!!!

Gosh! I love this website!! You guys have made me feel so much better!!!!! Thank you all so much!!!

Thank you guys so much!!! I feel better ready!!!

I've lost 35 pounds since I had surgery on August 9th. I was very happy with my weight loss until I talked with a close friend who also had lapband done a few years ago. When she asked how much I had lost I said 35 lbs and she said oh ok, that's ok, someone else I know isn't really losing weight either... Now I feel like a failure... So is 35 lbs in 3 and a half months not a good weight loss? I just want to cry...

I also had 3 months of free follow ups. And now I have to pay $71. Not bad though! Small price to pay for saving my life!!!!!

Standard option plan 104

You're welcome! It's open season, so jump on it!! Good luck!!!!!!

I'm a DoDEA employee, so I'm also a DoD employee.

I have bcbs federal option 104 and they covered almost all of it. I had to submit 3 years of weights, 4 months of pre op dr visits. They don't pay well on the fills, I have to pay $71/ $330 each time I get a fill, but it's not bad. I'm so happy I had it done & I'm so happy they paid!

I need some ideas for recipes to cook for Thanksgiving!! I am totally drawing a blank after thinking of a couple.
