My doc was EXTREMELY stingy with fills too and because of that (I think) Ive just now this year started to really lose wt....one visit I finally said how about putting 2cc in this time instead of just 1cc because it is really difficult for me to keep coming back so often due to work and he was like ok if its too much just call me...this is your body your band tell him you want a fill they cant "punish" for not coming to see them their not your freakin parents their your doc and you are PAYING them!!!!! You didnt pay for this surgery to get nothing......change docs if it continues!!! I have the 14cc band btw but I have 7.6 (somewhere along there) in mine. I have GREAT restriction! So dont give up!!

The eating is a little better. It seems that I am able to eat dinner ok now lunch some breakfast...is ify...I go back to the doc the day before we go to fl. Ive decided that if Ive thrown up once the week before we're to leave Im having him take that .2cc back out! *Pizza what'd you eat 2 bites, lol (you gotta have it every now and then) you cant completely deprive yourself!!!! I'm a salad person allll the way I LOVE salads so I tried one the other day...I was able to eat a couple of bites and then I could fill it sticking so I was like ok thats enough of that...at least I got some so that made me feel better. Im back to being tired again yesterday or say friday night I went to bed at 11pm I didnt get up sat morning until 1130am I havent slept that long since I was in highschool!!!!

I inserted a few lines see if you have space now. Good luck!!

Im not scared of getting up and talking...I want to teach someday in fact i LOVE getting up and talking to ppl but I just dont have anything to say. I'm not hiding...I just dont wanna talk at least not now :confused:

I dont talk! :thumbdown:

YAY!!! Glad to see you made it!!! But GREAT now I HAVE to go to the meeting on the 20th at 10AM HAHHA kidding. I cant wait I havent been in so long and jason arent you proud I remembered the date and time

hahaha, yeah! I told ya I done forgot since I havent been there in forever!!!

HAHA, I havent been to a meeting in so long Ive forgotten what goes on but I am not missing this next one..push pull or drag I will be there at 1030....!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Actually Ive got 2 bandsters (old friends of mine and I just found out they got banded): 1 girl is from my highschool I dont know if Ive talked to her about the meetings yet Another is an old college buddy her name is scarlett and shes really interested in the meetings. So hopefully we'll have some newbies come along!!

I know Im asking again but when is the meeting I have a new bandster who wants to come!!!

To be honest my energy level up until about January of this year was the pits...I was sleeping all the time and just felt soooo very tired. I had everything looked at, I was getting my protein but I was still just so tired...I guess my body was adjusting I dont really know but then after then I have felt GREAT....my doc gave me b12 injects to help even though my b12 level was fine and I increased my vitamins and I feel better much better now that I did before the surgery.

Thanks! Most days I dont eat much but friday evening I was hungry and actually wanted to eat and couldnt thats what makes it so frustrating but like yesterday I ate my grilled chicken NO PROBLEMS-its like each day its a completely different band. Its all good.

YAY, this challenge is starting off better for me...I havent been so lucky with eating these last few days so Ive dropped a couple of lbs!! 18 more 2 go It would be AWESOME if I could be under 200 before my trip in july !!!!

Oh you should know by now I wouldnt dare take this thing out...It just pisses me off sometimes....but then on the days when I dont have any problems I am thankful for it...I guess we have a love hate relationship...LOL Today is better...of course all I have had so far is 2 eggs....sooooo we shall see Im about to grill some chicken yum yum....I just wanna be able to eat some crab in July :thumbup:

WOW, congrats!!

I have BCBS and they made me have a pysch eval...I would call each plan is different!! On another note....I went to the doc last week and kinda wanted to get an unfill but he talked me out of it....so he started me on daily medication for the mild reflux probs that arose again and hes going to see me back the first week in july...well I had been doing great..able to eat a little and no throwing up until friday every since friday its like I cant stop getting sick....Friday I got sick with dinner like 3 times, saturday I ate a few bites for lunch ok but then dinner I got sicks like 3 times again....Im afraid to eat today........I was so upset friday night I told my husband I wanted this stupid band out.....he only put .2cc in for my last fill and talked like he couldnt go any lower than that.....so I guess in july I am having the .2cc taken back out.....hopefully I wont gain again! Well, Thanks for listening!

Ggrrrr. I just got my call schedule today and OF COURSE I am on call...I'll just get someone to cover hopefully!! I dont wanna be on the phone the whole time!

Im so JEALOUS!!!! I cant wait to see it. I REALLY REALLY REALLY wanna get another one. cant wait to see everyone.

I totally had to micromanage and make sure everything got sent in for my surgery. My doc told me I didnt have to have the psych eval because I didnt weight as much and he felt like I was stable....2 days before I completed my docs wt loss stuff I called insurance they said you HAVE to submit the psych eval, I got it done the next day and that SAME day the psych doc faxed my stuff to BCBS if I hadnt dont that I probably wouldnt have gotten banded when I did!! I called BCBS everyday after I found out they got everthing!!

You are so right I am currently at 7.20 cc in a 10cc band. I did have 7.5 I kept getting reflux he took out the .5 and I felt like I could eat the house, then he put in .2 its pretty much perfect!!! I could imagine how big a difference such a small amount could make. Dont get discourage it takes awhile to get it right look at me I am over a year out and still getting fills/unfills!!

Just trying to keep the link on the last page :drool::wub::crying:

HAHA! well, we're planning on swimming all day on sat or sunday one yall are welcome to come back!!!!
