  1. I have my doctor do it only, tell him you only want him to do it
  2. only covered if its medically necessary, like mastectomy or something, not just from losing weight
  3. I also get nauseaous, but mostly early in the morning when my stomach is empty, or right before bed. The doctor did say you could be nauseous on and off sometimes and also, maybe you are drinking too much protein at once, should just sip over an hour, dont drink it too fast, it may also be what you are drinking. I know when i drink a muscle milk i get nauseous sometimes. hope this helps
  4. i was banded on 8/28/08 and have not had a fill yet and have lost 11lbs.
  5. congrats keep up the good work. I am glad you are using them, they are a little more expensive, but when you are dealing with something like this, I think a few thouseand dollars is worth it. I have lost 11 pounds so far, i am getting impatient and want this fat off quickly lol. Keep up the good work, your surgery date will be here before you know it.
  6. I couldn't resist. There is alot more to worry about than that. LOL
  7. I heard they do the train on you while your asleep. LOL KIDDING!!!!
  8. feeling fine on mushies now. felt bad on sunday but then I thought I had no protein drink so i hurried and drank one. have you had those test tube protein drinks? muscle milk? I tried the muscle milk and its really good i needed something other than isopure or isosure. mushies is good. I am trying to figure out how to get my ticker tape thingy to go on this thing. lol frustrating
  9. hey restless hows it goin? how you feeling since surgery?
  10. do you take a couple of sips of water while eating? I feel like i will choke if i don't drink water just a few sips
  11. sux, really sux
  12. Hi, I live in biloxi, miss not very far from you. Just kinda looking for friends here, just getting the hang of all this. just got banded on 8/28/08
  13. cheaper is not always better. Dr. Avara is the best, very very knowledgeable. I am also a nurse and we see a good bit of patients that are also using Avara. Think it over first. He is not that much more.
  14. Hi I have been banded by dr avara and he is great, him and his staff are wonderful. He knows what he is doing.
  15. Hi I'm from biloxi miss, glad to see mississippi people here. Dr Avara did my band
