  1. ur results is what im hoping for bc i am a 38DD but they r saggy & i dont want to be small i just hope after they lift me & remove the excess skin ill look about the same except the girls will be sitting up on their own to like a 36C/D?
  2. I had a friend get 2 lifts through insurance. All u need is documentation have ur dr refer u to physical therapy, go to a chiropractor & some type of spine dr. Have them all write letters & that should do it. I found 2 drs here in atl that are so familiar w/ working w/ ins. To get it done. They will pretty much know what to tell the ins co. To get u approved. Im in the process now

  5. Thank u guys. Im am a little better now that ive talked to my dr & nutritionist. I think im eating an ok portion since the fill i just have to take everyones advice and slow down i am on solids so the puree is not a problem anymore. I know this it a tool not a quick fix i just need to get it together but i am going to buy some small utensils. The band doesnt change my mindset & its a slow process but im learning.

  9. Dont worry about the weight loss right now it will come. Ive heard alot of ppl going through the same thing. I lost 10lbs on week 1 by wk 3 i gained 4lbs back. Focus on getting well & be honest w/ urself about where u need to improve. My dr said the 1st 3 mnth are the "tweaking phaze" fills are not 1 size fits all. If after u get ur 3rd fill ur still having issues then worry.
  10. Ok i cheated bad in my 3rd wk bc i was so loose it felt like i didnt even have the band. I got my first fill 2 days ago. ive been throwing up everything i eat since then. i cant stand anything of puree consistency in my mouth. Im so used to scarfing my food down like a pig that im having a hard time taking small enough bites or eating slow enough. Im doing so bad & cant imagine how im gonna make it. I tried to puree some soup it was sooo gross i wanted to throw up just looking at it.
  11. Me too. See u on the other side today, congrats!
  12. Ok im having surgery in a few hrs. Im not nervous at all instead all i can think is about food . & how did i not realize how strong my emotional ties are to food until now. So i guess my jitters are about bring scared i cant make it. I cant fail this is the last chance to make myself happy w/ something besides food again
  13. Im getting a reduction when i lose weight too so i talked to my dr & He said a good rule of thumb is at least 6-1yr after u reach your goal & have maintained it for a while bc your body will be doing too much reshaping
