  2. wow that is great good for you....London briches falling down is the best feeling
  3. two weeks because I kept asking the doctors then I called the insurance company and they let me know I was approved and the paperwork would be going out the next day. Call everyone connected to this weekly they will soon get on it good luck
  4. I see it with your ticker of weight loss How did u get Alex to respone? ask him to put a spell check on please I really need that help
  5. at least call I have found b12 vituims work very well for headache and I am just going to start taking them daily from no on. I get one daily let us know what the doctor says
  6. your doctors office shoudl be able to tell you as well as the insurance company...
  7. genie bra is comfy
  8. why is it always the fault of the band? This could be anything and serious you need to see the doctor I know u said not insurance but we aren't doctors and cant tell you what to do. Do liquids for a few dsys while you set up and appointment with the doctors.
  9. perfect Missy I know you would have the picture
  10. very common I switch around but M.O.M. works great with no cramps...
  11. call the doctor I could get one every 2 wks if I needed.
  12. never heard that either after 5 mos out I will sip if I am stuck and wait 30 mintues after to have something.
  13. when they put the band the opening to the stomach it creates a pouch right above it to cause the nerves ending to your brain that you are full. usally we fill our stomach up from the bottom and we can eat a lot before the nerves are touched and told the brain u have eaten. Now we are talking to the brain with the first bit that we already full which cause us to feel satisfied on a very small amount of food. At least that is my understanding. Often they have a picture of it our here,i am sure some will send it to you.

  15. the band isn't for everyone. like everything else it takes work I would think that if you could have done this on your own you would have lost weight anyway. The band isn't preventing you from losing only you can do that and it cant mske you lose the weight only you can do that also. Maybe you should think about if you are ready and really want to loss right now. Its not always the right time emotionally to do something this big. No matter what system you choose it will take the same amount of work and change of eating habits...this is not easy and I am praying that you get some peace.
  16. It makes sence that you would loss fat everywhere including around the banded area and a fill would bring you back to the restriction needed to contuine. I got confused with missy comment , it will be interesting to hear what everyone has been told.
  17. probsbly dehydrated drink more water I know its hard to do in the early days but make a real effort to increase it.
  18. u wont Its a whole stronger then that
  19. every morning I don't want to miss the one day it does down. every doctor and weight loss plan will tell you once a week for the best results. I mark it daiy on my calendar so I know how my body works ...you need to do what makes you feel the best.
  20. cool now we just need a spell checker and things would be perfect...thanks
  21. OMG what a good girl so thrilled for isn't it fun losing weight now? I love my band also so much better then chocolate..................................well let me think about that nopoe better then chocolate lol
  22. so happy for you this is going to be an exciting new life for you and your family. Teach them how to eat right now there are some great recieps.
  23. join WW online and do their program for life its easy and it works and if you change your life habits all diet work. its a life change that has to change forever that's the hard part
