I can't eat lettuce at all. I instantly get stuck. But I try other greens. Sometimes I'm good other times its a no go. It's a learning process for all of us.

Ok going to call them tomorrow. Thank you!

Just moved to the area. Need a doc for fills.

Thank you for the info. I will look into that doc.

I am relocating to Tampa Florida. Need a doc down there for fills. Any suggestions ?

I agree with all of the responses. As a nurse I would have reported her immediately. She is not there to judge you, she is there as a support system. Chalk it up to her being an ass. Request not to see her ever again. Maybe the doctor will get the hint when all his patients are declining her. Keep positive it was a small road block. We can all do this together.

What's your secret to success.

To all my fellow bandsters: Wishing you all a Merry Christmas. May God keep you all safe and heathly. Much love! Jackie

Hey I am in northwestern NJ. I could use a buddy too.

I am a Registered Nurse working as an RNAC (registered nurse assessment coordinator) for a Catholic diocese run long term care/ rehab facility. I am also a licensed Real estate salesperson and cosmetologist. I am back in school for my masters degree too. Maybe one day I will decide what I want to be when I grow up.

I smell a LAW SUIT!! As a Nurse can I tell you what a HIPPA violation your insurance company has commited. Your medical information is private and whomever had direct contact with the hospital records at the insurance company should be fired. Plus those discussing it should lose their jobs also. If I were you, I would have a nice long talk with the person in charge of the company and make it known the violations they committed. There is a reason for confidentialty and if you want the town and your family to know you would have told them. Not some unprofessional gossip queen at the insurance company. I can't begin to express the trouble they would be in if you reported the company. I am so sorry you are going through this. Those asking about your weight you can either ignore them or say nothing special. Don't let them make you feel uncomfortable. I so wish I could deal with that insurance company and their employees!

I meant nobody , but we are all buddies on here.

Thanks for the support Jen! The old saying don't judge unless you have walked a mile in their shoes. We people we have walked that mile and will continue to do so for the rest of our lives. Skinny doesn't come easy for any of us. We will have to take it one day at a time until our time is over. So those who preach to those who slip up, remember you too wanted that chocolate bar or Big Mac. Give them it's an ok tomorrow is another day to get back on that wagon. No buddy is perfect!

I feel a lot of those who were banded and lost forget where they began. Some post seem to be so disheartening when it comes to beginners. We are supposed to support one another. Not judge them and make snide remarks about things they may not be doing correctly. Remember the fat person who was constantly judged by others before you place judgement on people.

The first fill fear. I was expecting the worst, but was pleasantly surprised. Good luck with the fill!
