Hey 50 & over gang We have a new spot
DANDY75 replied to IndioGirl55's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Hi all, I haven't been online all summer and need your help. I just got back from a trip back east for my sister wedding and I haven't lost a lb. in several weeks. The only good news is I didn't gain either. I have had 3 fills and think I'm at my sweet spot. Some things are easier to eat then others, meats I find hard to go down, it actually hurts sometimes and takes awhile to go down. Maybe I'm eating to fast and not chewing enough, I also catch myself having a sip of tea when I eat(bad), I started doing that when I was back in NJ. Also, is it normal to be able to eat more than 4oz at a time, depending on what I eat sometimes I can eat a lot more then just 4oz. Now that I'm back home I have been trying to get back on track, it's not easy especially since we got back my husband has been laid off and under foot all the time, I love having him around, but he is messing up my routine. I guess what I need is a few words of encouragement. Thank you all for letting me vent. -
Hi all, Just touching base, I am still not sure if I will be in town to make this months get together. I really would like to meet all of you and get your support. I could use some input on how to get past this stand still I'm at on the scale. I'm not gaining, but I'm not loosing anything either. I should know in the next few days if I'll be able to make it on the 27th.

Hi everyone, Sorry I didn't make it to the August get together at PF Changs, I got back from New Jersery the night of the 15th, had a great time, but when we got back to Henderson I found out my husband had been laid off. Needless to say I wasn't thinking about meeting up with everyone and never tought to cancel. Hope to be able to join you in September. I'll keep in touch. Carol -

Way to go Yvonne:huggie:, after my second fill I'm starting to loose again. I know my clothes are fitting better and I have a lot more energy. Can't wait to meet you guys next month, I'm really looking forward to it. Looks like everyone had a great time. -

Hi Yvonne, I will be there, the timing is perfect I get back from NJ on the night of the 15th. :tt1: I really felt bad:frown: I had to miss this weeks meeting on such short notice, I was looking forward to it, so count me in for Aug. 16th. :tongue_smilie: -
Hi beckbat, I was banded 4/21 by Dr Atkinson, all my pre-op stuff was done thru my primary care doctor and was covered by insurance. The surgery and post op with Dr. Atkinson was $16,000 total. My insurance would only cover $5000, so I had to pay $11,000, this covered the doctor and the hospital stay for one nite. Hope this helps.:thumbup:

Spread Sheet for Tracking April Avengers 08
DANDY75 replied to GiGiRN's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Hi, Just back from a long visit w/my family in NJ. I tried to add my stats to the spread sheet with no luck, not sure what I did wrong if someone can help. My 2month out is 188/21. My first fill was June 9th and I really didn't feel any restrication, I just had my second fill on 7/7, so far so good. I have a little more restriction and lost 2 more lbs. I'll check back later since I have alot of catching up to do with reading everything that has been going on for the last month or so. -
Hi, Just back from New Jersey, can't wait to meet you all, got the message from mominlv yesterday. Really need this support group after my 2 week visit to NJ. Between my mothers 80th and a graduation party, I did ok, stayed the same. No gain and No loss, had my first fill the week before I left and had absolutely no restriction. Go for my second fill tomorrow and I hope this time I feel a little restriction if not a lot.

Hi Acactusflower, Thanks for the friendship request, I was posting on another thread, glad I found this one. Meeting at the :coffee:Coffee bean at the District sounds great, but as you already know I will be back east the 18th thru the 2nd of July for my Moms 80th B'day I'll try to keep in touch with you ladies while I'm away, if not I will let you all know when I get back. And usually any day of the week is good for me, just let me know.

Hi Bobbil, I was also banded on 4/21 and down 16lbs the first 6 weeks, at first I thought it should be more but then again I didn't gain it over night. My doctor was also happy with my loss. Since my first fill I have dropped a few more and my energy level is awesome. And that does count for something.
