Oh, Mrgrta, I am so happy for you!!!! Can't wait for pictures. Keep up the great work and heal fast. Mimi

Thanks, KK, yes I qualify for Prime, but I get the majority of my health care from the VA for no charge so until this band I didn't need Prime. Now the majority of my expenditures are behind me so I don't want to change. Mimi

I really think you are either a tad too full or you haven't adjusted to restriction yet and need to adjust your bite's size downward and chew a little more. Being overfilled is miserable and ultimately unhealthy, even with fast weightloss as a quick pay off. Best wishes. Mimi

I have Tricare Standard Southeast and they are now saying they won't pay for fills except every 91 days. Has this happened to anyone else? If not restricted to every 91 days, can you tell me what code your claims are being paid under? Thanks so much, Mimi

You have probably not changed your eating habits. Slow way down and cut ALL of your food into pieces the size of a pencil eraser. It makes a huge amount of difference. Mimi

I saw the shows last week and thought they were wonderful and inspirational. I hope they continue with this series. Mimi

When you are in trouble, an unfill is sweet relief!!!! Mimi

Yes, PV, well said. Periodic review is a GOOD thing!!!! Congrats on your breakthrough. Mimi

The last 2 fills have resulted in unfills....the day and evening of the fill I am fine then the next morning I am completely blocked. Very bad feeling and by the time I got in for an unfill this time I was dehydrated and had lost 4 pounds of fluid weight. Flouro may be in my future!!! Mimi

YAY, Mrgrta, congratulations!!! Sorry you fainted, glad you didn't pull anything when you fell!!!. Mimi

LOL, unbelievable, huh? Sure tasted good, though. I am losing a pound a week since I did the math on that disaster!!!! Mimi

You should easily find a cute capris outfit in your new size....congratulations. Sorry about the drain. Maybe it will work out. Mimi

Misty, good for you for breaking through your plateau. I HATE plateaus...they are demoralizing and depressing!!! Mimi

Josie, without the "befores" the afters won't be at staggering. GET BRAVE!!!!! Mimi

Congratulations!!! 50 pounds is a huge amount, yes reward yourself with a mani/pedi!!! I used to use pedi's as a reward, but they quickly became a necessity for my self esteem, lol!!!

Congratulations on hitting your sweet spot, Mim. What a wonderful feeling it must be!!!! Mimi

Gosh, Jacqui, you just wore me out reading what you do. I bet you could crack walnuts with those thighs!!!!!! Mimi

Mrgrta, my thoughts and prayers will be with you tomorrow. Best wishes. Mimi

YAY, KarenK, congratulations!!!! Mimi

I noticed that, "In a bubble" thing the other day. I am glad to know it isn't just me!!!! I HATE sliming!!! Mimi

I am eager to see your progress, thanks for caring enough about the rest of us to post pictures. Mimi

Congratulations, Jodi, you did a great job!!!! Mimi

That's what I was wondering, Stephanie. Mimi

I hope everything turns out fine, glad it's not a clot. Happy Birthday. Mimi

Lapband hell for me lasted until the 3rd fill. I gained many pounds and had to fight to get them off. This was demoralizing and frustrating. Best of luck. Mimi
