  1. Help- I was banded 11-9-07 and have only lost 24 lbs...I need about 50-60 more to be really healthy! I have not lost any more since first of year. I am getting a 3rd fill this week and am hoping it will control me. You would think at 53 I would be in control! I need to get back on the bandwagon with both feet! I think I'll start back on this site, and will do a journal. Wish me luck!
  2. Wonderful & helpful!! I was a 11-9 band, with a 1cc fil 4 weeks later. I feel more hunger than I expected even still. Maybe it's mental obsession!
  3. I had 11-9 surgery date, out of town, so I feel "out of the loop!" I had a fill 12-10, but only 1cc. I get full sooner, but hungry too soon. What are you eating. I'm confused by all the food lists! Isnt it common "Diet sence"?
  4. Dr. Weiner is doing mine on Nov 9th. Tell me anything I need to know...that no one told you!!!
  5. I am at Harper for Nov 9 surgery! Dr. Weiner. I'm so excited and positive!!! Good luck!
  6. i AM SCHEDULED FOR hARPER hOSPITAL $11,700 IN DETROIT! gREAT U.S. PRICE AND THIS GETS SUPPORT FROM MY PRIMARY DOC. GOOD LUCK
  7. I am scheduled with Dr.Weiner at Harper Nov 9th. He called twice from his cell phone to talk "Pre-Surgery" I was SO IMPRESSED!!! i AM sooooo EXCITED. hOW YOU DOING???
  8. I will be looking for fills near St.Louis. Fill USA has one in southern Missouri (1.5 hrs away), and they run this referral group. Anyone had any good or bad success with them?
  9. Is the RX included in the cost of the surgery? I'm self-pay.
  10. I am scheduled Nov 9th for surgery-self pay. My husband will have no car, many places around the area he can eat at...or excercise? How bad will I feel following days after?
  11. Any of you Nov 07 bandsters going to Detroit? I know I will need to connect with you all! I am so nervous and excited!!!
  12. I am schueled for Detroit Harper Nov 9th. I read several Belite complaints here then went directly to Harper for questions. Belite got back to me then!! Tell me everything about Harper! I am looking for St.Louis fills...look like there is a professional "Fill company coordinator" that works thru docs call "Fills America". Anyone know anything?
  13. I'm set. Nov 9th in Detroit from St.Louis! I need to find a protein drink I can abide for only 1 week pre-op. Surgery is on a Friday...plan on going back to work Monday...hope it works!
  14. Why nervous? Helloo....how many of us eat in social situations (everyone)? How many of us love that high calorie celebration food? How many of us used those situations to reward ourselves? Here will be one of the most challenging for anyone re-working their life/eating habits! I go Nov 8-11 in Detroit.
  15. I am booked for Nov 9 at Harper Hospital thru Belite at The Michigan Obesity Surgery Specialists. $11,700 for self-pay fills are $150.
