I'm in killeen tx.

I'm excited. I have been at a plateau for almost a year. I am 25 pounds from goals. He finally gave me another fill today. I hope it makes me feel tight not too tight but I do love the feeling of being tight so I know I won't over eat. I have absolutely no will power up but if I'm feeling sick I will stop eating. I depend on my band a lot. I absolutely love my band. It was worth every dime to me. If I could do it all over I would and get the band again.

The wedding pics are great! Congrats!

Thanks that gives me something to go on, anyone else?

I am with ya all. Lost 30+ and losing VERY SLOW. At 5.5cc now just had a full on Jan 9 and lost 2 lbs since. I walk every day zumba sometimes. Jawbone helps track movement but other then that... idk. No idea how many calories to eat a day or how many times. 5 small or 3 reg? I need to lose about 35 more, at least. Hoping by summer!. If you use Janine I am ibsoldout@gmail.com. please friend me

I was named on the 9th. How ya feeling? I haven't experienced any gas or pain fortunately. Bad bruising and a huge knot near port sit but no pain. Doc said I am healing well so I guess all that is normal. Was banned in Killeen tx just seconds away from fort hood, the largest military post in the free world.

Where are you on long island? I grew up in mt. sinai went to hs in port Jefferson and graduated in mattituck, lived in east north port for 1,5 years then joined the army got married in Germany. Spent seven years in Kansas and currently live in tx

How long do these things take? I am nearly two weeks post and those suckers are still on tight

Another silly question. Chocolate ifs my favorite flavor EVERYTHING. I have heard some say it won't be after surgery. Have you found your taste has changed? Should I be saying good bye to my chocolate?

Pretty severe bruising started today near port. It's this normal? [ATTACH]27893[/ATTACH]

I am 5 days out

The only difference is my stomach is sore. Eating the same as before, liquid diet, no gas pains stomach seems to have already gone down can't tell I had surgery except I am cautious in movement. Have a post opappointment on this coming thursday the 19th. Well see what he says.

Getting banned tomorrow 9/9 and Dr is keeping to do barium swallow. Anyone else? Is this that charcoal stuff? Is it gross? I think this has me more nervous then the surgery.lol

So glad I probably won't need to say good bye to chocolate! Surgery today reopen at 10!

I hope ya all are right that it isn't too bad. Tuck I am not one for tasting new things and this stuff bothers me all the time. Thanks ya all! Hospital is expecting me in 4.5 hours.

We are in ft hood and the hospital here does fills. Why wouldn't they be able to in Japan? -send that some surgeons would have the training to do fills. Did you you ask your pcp?

I am having surgery in a few hours and understand completely. Then the few people I did tell want to share horror stories of the hospital I'll be in. That's why most people don't know. Well have to keep in touch

I report to the hospital. Surgery is at,1230 tx time. Numb right now thought I would be nervous or something but nothing.

Thanks I think I may sleep a little knowing this... I may be fast but very picky Eater.

Omg! Second thoughts, nervous, what if this doesn't work? All this for nothing?!?! Tomorrow I have pre op with hospital! Surgery on the 9th. I did learn that he fills by the band 2-3 cc.at time of surgery. And my folks are free after the first one, that's good right???

Hi I am also tricare prime. I am 44 and have a bmi of 36'. It went very quick. I saw my pcp in May he put paper work in for a surgeon. Had my appointment June 26. He waited 3 weeks before he submitted his paper work. It came back approved in 3 days. Then I had to eight for the nutritionist and psych evail. Finished them on August 12 had my date by the 16th. I live near fort hood so the nutritionist there spotted it up by doing one on one. Push the fact you need for medical reasons. It made them move faster as opposed to I just want to lose the weight. I am diabetic out of control sugar, high blood pressure and had a stroke. Praying for you... good luck!

Wow! I am z hexulex for september 9 and def understand the liquid diet thing! Where in TX are you. I am near ft. Hood.
