Hippiemama

Kat- do you notice a big difference then from getting a fill? My first is coming up and I'm curious.

How is everyone doing?

You are such an inspiration to all of us!!!

Oh my thats funny! I feel the same way sometimes.

I was thinking, with so many of us going through the same stuff...sometimes it feels overwhelming (at least too me) coming to such a huge forum to check up on each other...I started a yahoo group for April bandsters so we could chat a little more privately. Address AprilBandsters : April 2008 Lap-banders

I started solids today (banded April 25). I have no idea what to eat..LOL. What are you eating?

nm..........

Water, water, water. Works for both problems :thumbup:

Banded april 25, first fill on May 28th.

If it makes you feel any better, I think the more weight you have to lose, the quicker it comes off...with you having not too much to lose, it might take a bit longer. ((hug))

List: Name: Date you were banded: Weight loss to date: How are you feeling? Name: Amanda Date you were banded: April 25th Weight loss to date: 28lbs (since pre-op diet April 11th) How are you feeling? Good!!!

((hug)) She owes you a HUGE apology..you are worth more then that.

Oops, I voted wrong. I meant to vote, yes, and I am not in the US or Australia. I am in Canada.

I should add that I was originally going to be be banded in Oct, but couldn't get all the cash, so I ended up not booking then. I called on April 11 to go ahead with booking, because I had the money at that point, and was banded exactly two weeks later. I don't know if it was because of getting info in Oct that I got 16 rather then 18. I also want to clarify something..even though I am a little irritated about the phone thing, I am 110% glad I went with TLBC. Dr. Yau was fabulous and everything was very smooth and stress free.

About an hour and a half from Toronto..why?

I was banded April 25 and I paid 16,000.

Awesome!!!

Were you able to fix it?

Same thing happened with me, I got a call from accounting telling me I owed the full balance, which was NOT what I worked out with Kathy. I called in a panic, and Kathy fixed it right away. Have they charged it? Legally you have to give permission, yes.

Yup, not covered in Ontario..I was a self-pay at TLBC on April 25th (this year). $16,000.

And, you are doing awesome, btw

I think it's the whole feast or famine thing...your body starts to hold weight if it thinks food isn't readily available..then you show it that food IS plentiful and it says ok, it's alright to drop the lbs then. My surgeon is a huge fan of that theory also.

Congrats to you both My one month isn't until the 25th, see ya then

Your certainly welcome to

I'm so sorry 50lbs is AWESOME!!!!!! You are doing so great.
