  4. I have a friend of mine, i admit she is nuts, she has the craziest ideas, one of them was that she wants to do her OWN FILLS by HERSELF!!!! She was reading through websites and how fills are done and now she is totally convinced that she should do it alone, because she is unhappy with her fills and her doctor wont give her more than 0.5 each visit and the doctor will stop giving her the fills because she is loosing 4lbs /month. So now she wants her fills ALONE!... I have tried convincing her that its a bad idea, if anyone of you here knows the risks, please place your message and i will let her read them! Thank you.
  5. I did mine in the middle east, and my port is located between my breasts, while my friend did hers in the states and her port is above her belly button.. Where is your port located, and what is the difference??

Please your replies will be appreciated. Thank you!
  7. I had my surgery on June 13 , 2008 Went to the hospital at 7.00 am, wore the gown, took me to the OR, had myself banded "YAY" and i woke up after the surgery CRYING from pain! it was the worse pain ever, the port pain! Anyways went to my room, and they wouldnt let me drink Water only after 4 hours, so i did have my SIP of water, and threw up, this happened for 3 times, until they gave me some Anti-nautia meds. Next day i went home, still in pain, but bearable, stayed sleeping and walking, by the way to walk its GOOD, helps the gas go. Third day i was at work, up and running :smile2: I regretted doing it when i was in pain, but now i love it! Had my first fill on July 13 , and i loved my fills
  8. another test lol sorry
  9. i think i will also test now
  10. OK, i am 26 WAS a smoker. I smoked my last cigarette the first day of my surgery, after the surgery, the doc said, i have to quit smoking , i was in shock, but my determination (also the amount of money i paid LOL) made me quit it. Now i hate it, i cant stand the smell (only when i am pissed off i really need one, but dont get one) So you should be determined to what you want and dont let a paper kill you!
  11. Hmm well its been one month for me! dropped 10 Kilos :smile2: Check my pictures All is easy, and dont worrry!!
  12. Hello! where in the middle east! I did mine in DOHA!!! Well good luck to you:D
  13. 1. I have limited time off from work and would like to have the surgery discreetly. I was informed that I could potentially have the surgery on Friday and return to work the following Tuesday. Is that possible? Had my surgery on THursday (Friday and saturday official day off) sunday was back to work 2. What are the average costs? I've seen it vary a bit. Paid 6 K (live in the gulf) 3. Can I qualify if my BMI is 37? I don't have diabetes, high cholesterol etc. (I do tend to throw out my back often. Would that help me qualify?) Yup you can! 4. Is the surgery tax deductible? I am Not in the states
  14. Banded June 12 lost 22 lbs (weighed on June 30) YUPIIII
  15. Nope, you MUST NOT vomit!! Dont drink using a straw that will cause more air in your stomach, drink slowly, dont cheat, try to rest, you will feel like vomiting but that is only burping, i vomited three times when i first had the operation the first day and thats all, they gave me some anti-nausea meds. after that i felt like vomiting but it all turned out to be gas LOL BURP, Walk, Burp, Walk, and dont stress urself! Be happy, i lost 7 Kilos in 2 weeks :embaressed_smile:
  16. In order to answer your initial question, please could you provide us with the following information: The medical necessity for this operation; Any symptoms you are experiencing.
