So, if you do have a slippage and they want to do surgery or a revision, Does insurance pay for any of that. Or does it just depend on your insurance???

I have a makeup question,.........Has anyone ever used BARE MINERALS?? IS it all they claim it is????? Am not as young as I used to be, something to cover up spots and what not, thats easy to use, or foolproof ?

Pamela, I have not had any problems. When i had my fill he only put 1.0 I usually have 1.6 or 1.8 We are taking it slow but all has been well !!! Keep me posted.

Hey Pamela I have had my band for over 3 years, couple of months ago started having reflux bad at night. Ended up going to my Dr. because i had not been in a while. Dr had me do a barium swallow. My band had slipped. He did an un-fill. Dr had me do liquids for a week, mushies a week then regular food. I went back in last week, had another barium swallow, all looks good. Had a slight fill have nto had any problems So, you probably should go to the DR...........

LARINSHINE, tell me about this jalepeno soup sounds DELISH!!! homemade?? store-bought or what?????? tell me more !!!!!!!!

I had to get unfilled today, had some swelling and slight slippage have to start all over............liquids, then mushies, then slowly real food, then come in for another fill...............if all is back to normal ANYONE been here and done that???? Did it all work out?????

I had surgery in 2005, and am in my 40's have done well Trying to get my hubby to get lapband, He will be 61 in august, not planning on retiring until 65ish I am pretty sure his insurance would cover him NOW, but he is worried about will Medicare pay for fills or what not after he retires?!?!? Does anyone know, how Medicare is with LapBAnd:confused:????

I hiccup from jalepeno's .........too much black pepper will even get them started !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :confused2:

I had my lap band surgery in July 2005; I have lost around 60 pounds, had an endoscopy in 2007, everything okie dokie. I have not been back to the lap band doctor in ONE YEAR 5/17/07 was the last time. I am not having any problems, still have restriction; do I need to go to the DR, just because I haven’t in a year????

Mason natural No Burp Omega-3 Fish oil I ordered mine off of Amazon but I just found this site on line http://www.omegapure.com/ This site says they dissolve within 10 minutes ?!? Do I need a disclaimer stating i do not work for said companies or promote said items blah blah blah :smile:

I found some fish BURPLESS fish oil capsules not too bad

Well it has now been almost 3 weeks WOW the surgery itself was kind of freaky, but the after effects are well worth it 20/20 in both eyes down from 20/40 and 20/35 amazing !!!!! :thumbup:

I have never had a problem with oatmeal. I have just discovered McCanns "steel-cut oatmeal" pretty good stuff !!!:bounce:

Hello, my name is Sue and I am an overeater, fast eater, sweet lover, food lover, & stress eater. I have had my band for over 2 years still struggle with those things. I am constantly trying to stop my little inner voice that says OMG - GOOD - EAT MORE-YUM. I am not even sure it’s the inner voice I think it might be 40 + years of loving and eating way too much good food and breaking the bad habit, addiction, or whatever it may be.

Besides being a binger, I am a super fast eater. A super fast Overeater BINGER. Has been 2 years since I got my band. I will still revert back to something being JUST SO GOOD I got to eat some more and a little bit more and a little bit more. PLUS I have taken 6 months off from exercise.... I have finally got off my butt back and started walking/running ............has seemed to help my binging.

I like cottage cheese with sliced peaches, or crushed pineapple or.....cherry tomatoes & green onions;)

years and years ago when i had done the WW thing for the upteenth time one of the leaders used to say "be sure and count your BLT's Bites, Licks & Tastes)

Thanks for the help I am not keeping a log. I figure roughly I am eating 1500 calorie a day. Not that time of month. Getting my Water in for sure, One coworker said that it could be the fact that I started a new exercise regime and could be some swelling in the muscles?!?!???? My mom always said inches before pounds - Maybe dear mom is right???!

I had got out of my exercise regimen, a while back, but in the last 4 weeks had got back into walking and last 2 weeks incorporated a little running. (kind of the couch to 5K approach but less running time 10 - 15 seconds every minute for 20-25 minutes) Have even cut back on my eating. Got on the scales this morning and up like 3 pounds??????? No heavy salt intake yesterday. This scale thing has got me just a lil down, was expecting a little loss, for sure not a gain??? Anyone have any thoughts on this?????????????:help:

How many sessions did you have all together??

Has anyone heard of this or had it done????

F Y I Fill Center goes by the BRAND name of your fill, so yes they will take anyone, initial visit is 299.00 any additional fills will be 155.00 EACH

How does the Fill Center work? Can anyone that has had lapband go to the fill center? How much does it cost in the Houston area??? ANYONE KNOW THIS STUFF???? :faint:
