here is my email address Bumblebreemomma@gmail.com Id love to hear from u both! I get my fill tomorow ( I made my appt today) Im soo excited to start fresh !!

Hello.. I am a 24 y/o female banded June 24th 2008..Ive lost about 40 lbs but then started putting it back on. I have had 3 fills I believe..I am in nursing school and I have a limit of how much class I can miss..My Dr. only does fills on certain days..so here I am..my last fill was Jan. I am trying to get an appt for a fill this week since I am on spring break. I do really well when I get my fill but as soon as my band gets a lil looser Im back to eating bad :smile:.. I graduate from nursing school Aug. 7th and would love to walk across the stage as a much smaller nurse I am looking for a buddy who's trying to get back on the wagon or even someone encouraging or needs encouragement to. I would love to feel helped as much as help someone to. I would be so greatful for any time we could dedicate to each other. I have been so discouraged latley but I woke up today feeling motivated to change my bad ways. Thanks!! Also my current weight is 246

Hi! I just moved from Mi to WV (beckley) anyone in the area?? Well I was banded june 24th 08..Ive had one fill so far but lost my ins and with moving havent gotten a fill again..however I have an appointment with Dr. ROssi in charleston next week...does anyone have Dr. Rossi and what do u think..I am nervous because my first fill was with my surgeon. I cant wait to get the fill tho cus I havent lost any weight recently and I can eat what I want...not good...so I have been maintaing the 30 I lost...anywho...let me know if anyone got any info! thanks!!

Thanks u all for ur encouragement..it really does help.. One day..I will be thin lol :cursing: just not today

:cursing: I was banded June 24th..I know this is a time to heal..but..I lost 15lbs..Im staying busy and active ...and I havent lost 1 lb in about a week now..grrr...anyone else having this problem..I know I should be glad I lost the 15lbs and I know I should be just thinking about healing..but I cant help it I feel so discouraged

Ive read that lack of protein will contribute to excess loose skin..so Im trying to get all the protein plus some..but that is hard..Im just gonna get mine cut if it ends up to bad...

Thanks! yea I started picking him up some yesterday. fortunatley I have my mom here to help me out with that but I am still trying to take it slow. Thanks again for the input

I would just flat out tell him. If hes any kind of real decent man he would admire u for taking a huge step in your life to better urself and your health! If hes any think like that loser guy u mentioned you'll know by his reaction and then u get rid of him to. lol And..as far as ur ex..hes so F'in lame he has to use the excuse u had a wls..o lord...or maybe he likes fat chicks lol..

I would sooo never go to her again! its ur choice..she obviously wants to push u to gastric bypass because thast what she does and she wants the money from being ur Dr. and operating. I dont like that at all,,,and by the way do u have tricare standard or prime..cus u can always go to another Dr. if u have prime tell ur pcm u want a referal to another surgeon because u dont think she has ur best interest in mind ..and if u have standard just go to another Dr.. My Dh just got out of the military and I had prime the whole time..well I switched to standard after he got out ( with that 6 month transitional ins.) and I just got my surgery done 2 weeks ago...go figure my tricare ends in a wks lol..crazy.. Anywho..dont let someone push u into anything u are unsure of or dont want just because SHE is the surgeon its ur body and ur life..she can go to hell if shes more comfortable doing bypass..F her... Sorry if Im bitchy I just hate the fact she is trying to presude u. makes me mad! And for me bypass was never an option..I dont like all the scary stuff that goes with rerouting thats huge risk and VERY dangerous to reverse. and the fact u can actually gain all the weight back in a few yrs when your "new stomach" regenerates cells which will then absorb ur fat intake.Which I've personally seen happen to a friend. Im sure u will make the right decision for yourself.

well I didnt follow to a T...however my post op diet was 2 wks liquid and then 2 weeks full liquid ( which the full starts tommorow). now this being said.,.every surgeon has different post op diets so..I didnt eat solids..but during my clears I did have some things consider more of a full liquid..o yea..my Dr. also had me on milk and yogurt during clear liquids..and thats not clear..so I occasionally had some other liquids eqivalent to yogurt and milk...I didnt eat burgers and stuff tho lol..so I followed the rules..but kind of cheated a lil...not so much tho.

This is kind of silly but..here goes...is not being allowed to use a drinking straw just a post op thing or is it forever and always thing?

Tommorow is my two wk mark for post op.. I had a 2 week restriction on lifting anything heavier then 20 lbs..my kid is 22 lbs.. Im wondering if I should start slinging him around on my hip again or if its to early..Esp. since he fights me...and thast like 50 lbs lol Any tips or suggestions?

To the steri strips..for days now Ive had blisters itching all around my incisions I called my Dr. and he told me to put neosporin on it..but it seems not to be helping..Im gonna call again tommorow , but I'm wondering how many people had this problem.. ekkk it itches
