  1. ok so 2 Saturdays ago I had a fill and it has been tight ever since.. Having trouble eating and drinking. I thought I could tough it out because I am cash pay. But Now I'm starting to seriously think I am going to have to go back in and have some taken out. I'm pretty miserable.:biggrin:

  2. 4th Fill

    · Bumblebee · 06/30/2008 22:10

    Ok so I just had my 4th fill, the last one was about 5wks ago and I dont think that it was a very aggressive fill. I only lost 2lbs. But this fill that I had on Saturday.... Wow I am definately restricted. I can't wait to see how much I lose this time. 2lbs for $265.00 just isn't enough. That is what I'm paying to have a band fill you would think I would be losing a lot more...Sorry for complaining, I'm just venting a little here. God Bless to All...

  3. 4/11/08 Exercise

    · Bumblebee · 04/15/2008 02:36

    ok so Friday 4/11/08 I decided to get with the program and exersice. So my 14yr old and I went to the gyme and got on the treadmill, well that was fine but she was realy walking fast so I was trying to keep up with her and then I decided that I would do it for 45 min. Well let me tell you, I got a blister on my foot and the next moring my back hurt so bad I could not get out of bed. I had to take a muscle relaxer and go back to bed. My legs and hips and butte hurt but nothing I couldn't handle. It was the back ache. Was going to walk today "Monday" but I had some business that I had to take care of that was realy important and by the time I got home I was really tired and didn't get around to doing it...but tomorrow is another day...

    ok as of todat I have lost 38lbs thing are slowing down, but I have not started to exersise. I need to get motovated some how. I have noticed that when I go to the stores I am not as tired and my legs and back are not in pain like before. I go for my next fill in about a week and a half. I am still eating small portions but I can eat about a cup of food instead of only a half of a cup..

    GREAT NEWS My Sister is getting ready to also get her lap band. She has been over weight all her life and she does exercise. I'm so happy for her. She wanted to do the sleave but Tri Care will not approve it. So they are going to try to submit for the lap band..

    I hope all of you out there are well GOD BLESS ALL OF YOU..

  6. Banded 1/28/2008

    · Bumblebee · 03/16/2008 03:51

    I'm a 35 yr old female that had to have Lap Band sx. because I have Steatohepatitis "Fatty Liver" and am 1 stage away from Cirrhosis Of the Liver Because I am Obese. With the weight loss the hope is that what is left of my Liver can start repairing itself. I have already lost 30 lbs since the pre-sx. diet in December. and 20 lbs. since sx. on 1/28/08. Today I had my first band fill. And am having some pain/discomefort. But other then that I feel great, and clothes are starting to fit loser.

  7. 5/24/08 my 3rd fill

    · Bumblebee · 05/27/2008 03:07

    Ok so this last Saturday 5/24/08 I went in for my 3rd fill and I only lost 3 lbs in 4 weeks at the 2nd fill I was 177 lbs, so I am now at 174 lbs... That is not that much but at least I'm not gaining.

    My bigest problem is stay on an exercising routine. I exersice for a couple of days and then stop. I can't seem to stick to it..

    At least I stick to the diet for the most part. But the exercise I just dont know how to get motivated.:cursing:
