Hi there, long time no speak. How are things going with you? I finally was able to get a fill 2 weeks ago and am down 8#. Drop a line when you can...

once they got the surgery date and submitted everything to my insurance company, everything went fine. They already submitted preliminary paperwork when you first visited Dr. B so I wouldn't worry about it. Good luck with your surgery and keep in touch.

been better, still struggling with these same 5# that come and go. I know I need a fill, but these 5# won't stay off long enough for me to get one. The doc won't do it until I am back down to 370# or less. It is getting very discouraging. On a positive note, I actually got off my butt yesterday and walked to a friends house. Granted, it was just down the street and around the corner a little ways, but it was something. Nice to hear from you.

Just wanted to say hi and see how you have been doing, I haven't been online much and really need to get myself involved back into the swing of things on this journey of weight loss. Hope to hear from you soon.

Just wondering how you have been. I haven't been online much and am trying to get myself involved back into my programs. Hope to hear from you soon.

I am so sorry it takes me so long to respond to your messages. I am so out of control right now, I can eat anything I want without a problem. I bought my egg beaters and have my chicken for lunches so I can get myself back on track starting tomorrow morning. Hope you are doing well. Keep in touch.

i've never heard of myfitnesspal, i'll have to check it out. I really need to get back to the basics again. I haven't been keeping a journal like I used to and I can tell that is not helping. I need to get this weight loss going again so I can get a much needed fill. How have you been doing since your fill?

thanks for the quote, loved it....

I am almost afraid of going to the doctors office on the 23d, I feel like the band isn't even there any longer. I can eat just as much as I did before, eat way too fast and making bad food choices again. Not sure what the heck is wrong with me lately. I think I need to get my educational packets back out and read over things again and make myself believe that i'm just begining again.

I go for a fill on Mondy, the 23rd and am hoping that will help kick start the weight loss again, i've been struggling big time lately and really need to get back on the wagon. I also need to start to slow down when I eat, I definitely eat too much. Congrats on the weight 21# loss in a month. I have lost 17# since my surgery 7 weeks ago.

Hi Lisa,

All is well, how long have you been banded?
