Angie, That is nuts about the fills-- I wonder if we can file it with our insurance ourselves? I emailed Dr. Bauman's office and they told me that I had to pay my copay to them and then $199 to the hospital (who doesn't file it with the insurance). I don't know if my insurance would cover or not, but I'd sure like to try! Courtney

I didn't write anything down when I was on liquids--they asked how much Protein I was getting, how much Water and how much exercise, but I just ballparked it. NOW on the other hand, I am really having trouble keeping up with my protein numbers for some reason. I guess it is just getting back to a normal life and not really having the memory to do more than two things at once! LOL!! I started writing things down yesterday and did a lot better-- I think it is going to have to be a habit for me.

Hi everyone! I am coming out of lurker status to introduce myself finally http://www.lapbandtalk.com/images/smilies/smile.gif I am from Concord, NC and had my band done by Dr. Bauman on 9/20/05. I have 2 girls (6 and 4) and I am a stay at home mother-- I have enjoyed reading all of your messages and thank you for all of the information that you share-- it always feels great to discover that I'm not alone out here! I am still not through all of my eating plan, so I guess it is still early to start worrying, but I am CONSTANTLY hungry. I don't have any idea what restriction feels like and even though I know that this is healing time-- it sometimes becomes frustrating and I feel the worry creeping in-- I worry that the band won't work for me-- I am relying on willpower alone right now with my food choices/amounts and I know that my willpower won't last forever. I won't have a fill until sometime around the first of December-- and I must say, I am pretty anxious! Any thoughts or advice? I'd appreciate it, especially if you are going to tell me that this is normal! LOL!!! Anyway, this is my HELLO!
