If someone wanted to PM me and tell me about major drama, I wouldn't be mad. :thumbdown:

I was there, too. And it was debilitating. But, honestly, once I lost the first 20, it didn't seem so impossible. And once I got under 70 to go, I was like "well, ok, I can do this..." Just focus on the first few. Even 5lbs is on the way to 100.

Congrats to you! I grew up in Oakland County

I did tell the kids not to say anything, it's my private business, etc, but being discreet is not one of her strong suits. The kids don't know WHAT surgery I had, I don't think, so at least I'm ahead there.

Valley View is on my side of town, but still out of my jurisdiction. I don't leave Medina. LOL
-
I can feel it if I push on it, but it definitely doesn't look different on the outside. Well, except the big honkin bruise. LOL
-
A good idea, telling her it's personal, but she's so sweet and sensitive, I know it will hurt her feelings that I don't want to open up. ARGH Damn my sister.

Well MY grandmother always said if you lie it will come back to haunt you. So, if I say I had to have gallbladder surgery, I'll end up having to have gallbladder surgery. LOL

That sounds about how mine went. I had TERRIBLE reactions to the pain meds they gave me! I couldn't even pick my head up without getting dizzy and they were trying to make me walk around. I just wanted to sleep for 40 days!!!
-
Yep, I took 3 sets. Jeans and a tshirt, exercise clothes, and bra and underwear.
-
This is from my before picture taken about 3 weeks ago that I haven't really looked at until now. I just have one question.... when did my belly button turn into an ass?
-
Good luck!!

Drink a gallon of water before your weigh in. Easy enough.

How Many Pounds Did You Lose 1st Month?
Angie4b1g replied to ovahkummer's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
That's encouraging, Seajules! You had about the same to lose as I did, and I'd be over the MOON with 21 pounds this first month!!! -
Ew, BK was your big choice? That's about the LAST burger place I'd choose. Glad they got you in!!
-
I wanted my before pictures to really show how FAT I am. Most people you can't tell because it's only a headshot (which is all the pictures I had of me, too!). I want DRAMATIC before/after shots. :cursing:
-
Not sure when mine is yet, around that time, I'd imagine. Supposed to be 4 weeks out. I'll be calling to make an appointment soonish so I can make plans, since I have to drive 3 hrs each way to get there. My dr says he does the first fill under floro so that he can be aggressive with it. I'm excited.
-
Well that was a full body bra and underwear shot, I just cropped it down to there. That was bad enough, NO ONE needs to see the full monte. :cursing:
-
Similar thing happened to me, I ordered the only brothy soup they had and it ended up being about 1/4 cup of broth and an insane amount of delicious looking rice and chicken. LOL
-
Saying 90 days of free fills is a total scam. The 90 days shouldn't even start until the first one.
-
Wow since NOVEMBER! That's fabulous! Great job!
-
I've never been so excited about the idea of eating an egg. ONE MORE WEEK!
-
That's not a very positive attitude. Did you do a lot of research before you had the surgery? Did you know they are put in EMPTY? You have to let your body heal before they can start filling it and giving you restriction. I'm sure you don't want it to slip! Hang in there!

Self Pay vs Insurance Timeline/process
Angie4b1g replied to Bozzj's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I would have gladly had it take a little longer and saved my $13k. But my insurance didn't cover it. It took about a month once I started the process until surgery date, but only because the hospital required to be paid 3 weeks prior to the date. So, one I paid, we booked it for 3 weeks from that day. -
Assuming the big incision is the port one? (I haven't pushed on them yet to find out lol) It's almost straight above my belly button and about 3" above. I have 5 incisions total.
