February 2006 bandsters unite!!
Hello, I got my fill today. A different doctor with more experience than my original surgeon gave me my fill. I think he fixed me good, he showed me the xray while I drank the barium, and the barium didn't move for a second, then it dripped slowly. Whenever my surgeon did it the barium flowed out fast. I will see how much restriction I have next monday as I'm on my 7th day of the master's cleanse (lost 11lbs this week) I told my lapband doctor today I was on this liquid diet, he said, he is only concerned with me not getting enough protein,and not praticing the slower chewing when doing only liquids.

Lemon Cleanse
Well there's always next time around. Today is day 5, I never knew how food is such a major part of our life. When I'm driving to work Doritos truck in front of me. Part of m yjob requires me to enter the mall, and I enter the food court area, It seemed like every mall or place I went to had a Panda Express.LOL. I'm scheduled for a fill this Tuesday, and I'm hoping this one will get to my sweet spot. I'm down 6 and 1/2 pounds today.

PacifiCare Sucks!
I have Pacificare Hmo, they covered me 100% I switched to them because they covered the surgery. I first went to my pcp and mentioned it to her, she told me to first try other methods, so I went on the appointments with the dietitician.(I think I only went on 4 or 5 visits, this seemed like a waste of time to me, sitting there listening to someone tell you how you should eat and writing up a menu, As If!) also on that visit I told my PCp about pre existing problem with a PsuedoTumor which is caused by being overweight, so then I had to start seeing the optometrist and having all these tests done. All they want is a paper trial that you have tried something else and its not working, I also went to see the gynecologist because I was having nonstop bleeding and Iwas already anemic, I was approved for surgery before I started going to see a podiatrist. My advice whatever ails you due to your weight, go to the doctor get referrals, go see the dietician, whatever it takes, because the time has got to pass by anyway. Right? and then just work on losing as much as you can before the surgery.

Iwasn't going to start until Saturday night because I was going to have company and go to a baby shower,but if you can resist at the amusement park,I guess I can show some will power also/

Lemon Cleanse
Hey I am glad you posted this,I had been searching the threads to see if anyone had already started a thread and I came upon this one. I purchased the masters cleanse book and the kit. I couldn't find a gallon of the syrup cheaper, this appears to be the best deal. I am not a doctor but I am not worried about passing out. I have done 3 day fasts(no food, just water) in the past, and I love the results I get spirtually speaking, I'm hoping this will give me a boost and clean out toxins and give a new perspective on the things I put into my body. I haven't got my order yet,but I plan to start this week when it arrives in the mail. My mom is going to try it with me but she is only going to do 5 days, I trying for the whole 10. Master Cleanse Supplies : The Master Cleanse This is what I got, I also found a bulletin board on that site, it has a lot of help and information about the cleanse. One other thing my mom sent me this article that Beyonce of the former Destiny's Child has lost a lot of weight for her Dream girls movie, with this new diet.The diet was the master's cleanse,here's the articleBV Health- beyonces-breakthrough-diet - AOL Black Voices so let's do this, I will be checking in on yah

There'a a thread on Roscea, I broke out with this 3 months after my banding. I had never had it before, check that thread out,it may be helpful, my regular doctor, and banding doctor had no idea,so I went to the Dermatologist, she diagnosed it and gave me some meds.

Piercings?
I've had my nose pierced three times and I think I'm going to go for a fourth,and I agree the earring has to be super tiny. My Dh asked me about the tongue piercing, I secretly want it anyway. But i'm scared of the pain. Does it really enhance oral sex, I saw one yes and one no, which is it?

Christmas Lovers Thread
I too Love Christmas!, I would love to be in Onederland by Christmas, according to Funny's doctor, it is possible. But I'm going to set a more conservative goal of 35lbs lost by Christmas which would put me at 241. Anything more than that would be gravy.

What do you drive?
2003 Toyota Camry and a 2004 Chevy Trailblazer and a ding on my right driver side, and a lot of dirty, and you have my Camry. I'm losing the argument with Hubby buying me a Lexus.

I probably should'n,t be sharing this, but I craved baby powder while pregnant,:preggers: the baby powder has tricalcium in it. Telly- "I ain't mad at you" BBQ " thats what happens man,that's what happens" sometimes a girl gotta have a little bbq, I know I'm so glad it's still an option, and I don't have to feel deprived of foods I love, every now and then.:love:

There's no need to be nervous about the gall bladder removal, if you already have the lap band the procedures are very similiar. I felt great once I had my gall bladder removed, no more pain. Yes!
