80 lbs is great!!!!!!!!!!!! Congrats... i would so chose working out over surgery if its an option!! Congrats GF!!

After my 2nd fill i was kinda howTina said, i couldnt eat NOTHING!! Im like 10 weeks out now from the 2nd fill and i still have a hard time eating, i lost like 30 pnds since the 2nd fill. What did they say about you getting upset about the OV fee?? I wrote her a letter and told her how upset i was. I also kinda did what u did... i refused to make another visit cuz i told them i would have to wait til i could afford to, you cant just suprise people with $110, when they expected the fills to be covered like you were told!!!!!!!! How much weight have you lost? Once you are tight... and your lose weight... you lose weight around your stomach so the band will get loose... but it sucks that they make you wait 6 weeks for another fill... and in our case that we have to pay when we were told its free... when i make my next appt i plan on saying something to him.... he needs to know that his patients arent happy and feel like they are being lied to!!

Awww i just missed your birthday!! How was it??? You were so right about the NKOTB concert... i loveeeeeeeeeed it LOL Thanks for the picture comment... i just barely saw it... Im so not sure how to navigate around on here yet haha I got my 2nd fill and feel restriction finally...

Congrats!! Half way to your goal at 3 months is sooooo awesome!! I bet you feel so much better! I cant wait!!

Did you have surgery? No i didnt blog... i had my surgery 6 weeks after giving birth to my 1st child... so i was so busy with him so much i didnt start a blog! Thanks for calling me an inspiration...

Did you have to have an unfill?? I had my 3rd fill today and he said im at 7 cc's.... he has me all freaked out that i might be too filled... i thought i needed a fill... he didnt think so... so frusterating!! im doing fine on liquids so far....i can only eat like 3 oz's or i throw up... do you eat really slow? My dr is saying i might be eating too fast... cuz i can barely eat... but im hungry like 1-2 hrs later...

Good luck tomorrow!!

Hahaha You go girl!!

Hey i got your message just now... im so not sure how to navigate around on here!! Have you had surgery??? I had mine july 18th... and i just had my 2nd fill and im finally feel restriction... i hope i start to lose weight now!!

Hey Shanya!! Im also from Vegas... I was banded in July 2008 and i have lost 100 pnds now... If you have any questions... or need someone to talk to let me know! What part of town are you in??

Hi DeAnn How is your weightloss coming??

Hi!! Im Michelle... i was just banded a week ago... where in Vegas are you??

How are you doing with it?? My first 3 months were hard... i didnt have any restriction til my 2nd fill... so i was always hungry!! I could eat anything really... now i can only eat about 2-3 oz's... I have another Dr appt on monday... i think i might need a fill... we will see... im almost at goal tho... so thats exciting... i just need to start working out more!!!!!!!!!!

How are you doing?? How often do you go see Dr. Teng? I was there the other day... and i got in a fight with him this time... about weather or not i needed a fill... so upsetting!! I went in and told him how i felt... and was like do i need a fill?? And he was like you tell me??? WTF... i thought he was the DR???

How long have you been banded?

How was your surgery?? I just saw you left me a message in July... i had no idea this section exisited... LOL Sorry!!

How you feeling??? The first few months are the hardest!! Hang in there!!

I actually didnt start losing weight til my 2nd fill... so about 4 months after my surgery date.... i will i could give advice but i feel confused still almost 1 yr later...i only lose weight when im so tight i cant eat at all... i have lived on soups for almost 1 yr.... i have lost 121 pnds in this year... but it hasnt been easy... i was banded 6 weeks after having a baby... so that didnt help my struggle... i have to say tho i lost all that weight without working out... i just started working out now that my son is 1 yr's old and i can take him to the baby daycare and not worry about him! From what i read alot of girls eat alot... i am finally at my goal so im gonna get an unfil and just diet and workout... it sucks living on soup... but thats what i had to do to get the weight off!

I actually have alot of marks on my stomach but the tan hides them some... i had my gallbladder out too so i have like 10 little holes and 2 cuts... 1 for my port and 1 when they took my gallbladder out....

I financed it... and it was 17,500 where i live... I know its cheaper in mexico and a few doctors in the states are cheaper...

I got implants like 10 yrs ago... so they dont look that great now cuz i gained alot of weight and then lost it... and i breast fed with them... so i need new ones... im gonna wait a few more years tho... they dont last forever....

I had my surgery the day b4 yours... in Las Vegas... how are you doing?? How much have you lost?? I didnt see you left me a message til just now... sorry!!

I had no pre- op... and the surgery was so easy!

I just saw you posted me a message back in July LOL I also didnt know i had messages LOL Dr. Teng was good... i dont like his staff tho... they didnt tell me about all the hidden cost so im upset about that... they said the fills were covered for 1 yr... well you still have to pay the OV of $110... so that isnt FREE to me... so im a bit mad at them... How are you???

I just saw your message... i didnt know i had any!! Sorry im so slow!!! So whats your story?? Have you had surgery? I had lapband in July... Im in SW Vegas...
