  2. yes its so darn cold....no one comes on and chats anymore...sigh
  3. the thing that irritates me is that if i had seen barb, she would not of given me such a big fill...she knows im very sensitive to the fills and i dont need much. which of course i tried to tell kim and she didnt listen
  4. thats what happens to me vicki...although im pretty tight from this last fill. ill prob have to call next week and have some taken out....sigh...fill...unfill...when will it stop...lol
  5. and i can hardly eat anything...i know kim gave me too much of a fill. i could barely eat any soup tonite...
  6. sorry to hear that Jenn. well i havent felt well since Christmas Eve, when my restriction kicked in.Everytime i try to eat i can only eat a few bites and then i belch for about an hour. attractive i know... i knew when she put in 2cc it was too much but im going to wait a couple more days to see if it settles down. im going to stay on liquids for now.
  7. when i get like that vicki i just try liquids...now for me my fill kicked in christmas eve, so i didnt feel good all day today and could hardly eat...lol
  8. omg vicki...vicki i had the horrible heartburn...i was up 3 nites in a row, it as so bad hoff thought i aspirated...that as hen he took the 3cc out of me...i didnt want that much out but its better than all that heartburn
  9. i feel the same way vicki and i have not been exercising...lol
  10. i did get a fill...even though i told her i didnt need much...when she checked i hardly had anything in it...so she gave me 2cc
  11. i think i saw her because i changed my appt. hoffman wasnt even there. they tried to schedule me again ith her but i said i wanted to see hoffman next time
  12. vicki, well i saw kim today. she is such a jerk. talk about rude. anyway she is arguing with me about how much he took out. i told her i asked him and he told me 3cc. she said no he didnt...wtf. i said anyway i dont need 3 cc added and she says we never add that much..now she has me pissed so i tell her im fully aware of that and by the way i only need 1 reminder phone call of my appt not 6
  13. i do know people who went to caruana and they liked them. i think its a personal issue. when i started the process they didnt do banding
  14. when i said follow up care, i meant postop. can you believe that bgh called me 6 times to confirm my appt tomorrow. i finally asked them today why so many phone calls and they laughed...wtf
  15. renee just want to say something and dont get me wrong, i am very glad hoffman did my surgery but caruana is an excellent surgeon and i think that his practice has a better follow up program than buffalo general does. i really wouldnt even call bgh program after a follow up program. it is very disorganized
  16. dr hoffman takes other things into consideration. when i was going through the process it took me a hile to get a date because i hadnt lost the weight
  17. i was wondering how you did vicki...i know i need a fill, but just a small one. i know i def dont need 3cc back...lol
  18. well we will see when i weigh myself in the am...lol
  19. my appt must be on the 18th then. im the same way he took 3cc out and there is no way i need 3cc back. last time i eighed myself i had gained a couple but i was still in onderland. i try not to weigh myself too much and now it is that time of the month and im usually always up then. i have been so busy and havent been to the gym much, but i think i will go tomorrow. im just trying to hang in there
  20. im here vicki...just have been crazy busy...i havent even made it to the gym, but im going today. i need a fill badly ...ill be seeing hoffman on the 19th, finally
  21. vicki, i feel the same way...i feel so out of control
  22. it is pita...but it is worth it...i def had to jump through many hoops..it took me along time to get approved. i went to the seminar in june 2007 and had surgery in march 2008
  23. oh my gosh rain...congrats...being off your diuretic will def make you retain water
  24. bugs i try to eat 3 meals a day and 2 snacks
