  1. Sandy, I agree. I normally ask but yesterday, I just wanted to get out of there. Unfortunately, I learned a good lesson.....now I go in tomorrow for an unfill. I have already spent $800 on four fills and I hope that I'm not charged for an unfill tomorrow
  2. Sandy They never told me how much was put in, but I'm assuming about 2cc because my doctor is very aggressive with the fills since they are self pay.
  3. Thank you pretty thick.
  4. Thank you Bsellis! Can't wait for relief. I probably won't be able to sleep tonight.
  5. Jim, I agree with you wholeheartedly! The problem with "nana" is not so much her "advice" but her knowing it all and condescending attitude. I am soooooo happy that people are waking up and putting her in her place. I do not understand how so many different people try to tell her about her attitude but I guess denial is denial. On a more positive note, I joined this forum because I wanted to be around people who have a band. Sometimes friends and family members can't understand us or offer advice because they don't have band experience. That's why this forum is so great. I am trying to see the positive side of everything, and with that being said and I can't believe I'm doing this, but I think that Nana was giving good advice.
  6. Hello fellow bandsters! Went in for fourth fill yesterday, was able to drink water afterwards but once I got home I couldn't drink anything without feeling pain. Today, things became worse! They even sent me home from work. I cannot drink anything. Called the doctor, and I'm going in for an unfill early tomorrow morning. The nurse told me to try ice chips. This is the worst feeling ever.
  7. Pretty thick Congratulations! I am sooooo happy for you!
  8. I started my journey on June 28th, at which time, I was wearing a size XL belt. Now, I am wearing a size medium. Woohoo!
  9. Gained 2 lbs! Going for fill number 4 on Tuesday, October 15th. Can't wait to be in the green zone. I can't stop eating! Very upset.

  11. Still at 175. My goal was 174. Not too bad considering I never did exercise because I get home too late from work. Hoping to get into the 160s in October. That would really make me happy.
  12. Hi skinny, I'm still at 175. I'm thinking I'm in the yellow zone. I have an appointment for my fourth fill on the 15th. Haven't last a pound in two weeks, but my clothes seem to fit me bigger and bigger.
  13. Nasty! I hope everyone who reads these posts SEE you for what you really ARE.
  14. I won't respond to your stupidity anymore because you are NOT worth it! Stop calling people names and go look at yourself in the mirror.
  15. You let the weight......now you need to lose the ATTITUDE..... Do research, maybe there's a band for that too. Lmao!
  16. Wow Nana! You have got to be the nastiest person on this forum!
