I just went into the doctor yesterday and instead of taking out 3 ccs he was only able to drain 2.5 ccs. He gave me the injection of the fix the flat stuff. So far it is holding its own at 3 ccs again. Back in action.

You are doing beautifully. I just passed my 7 month mark. Isn't band life wonderful!?

Fabulous news. Keep up the good work.

Welcome to lapbandtalk forum. You will do great. Its such an exciting time for you. I remember how it was for me. I was banded in June and so far I'm down 37 lbs. I feel really good. The weight is really coming off now that I have a good fill level. You'll learn all about that.

I use GNC protein shakes. I like the choclate. It has 25 grams of protein in a serving. Good luck.

Kelsey, congrats on your life changing decision. That is wonderful. Great job. Best of luck.

Just eat your liquids if that is what you are on. Drink plenty of protein shakes and that will keep you fuller. Good luck.

I would push them. It sounds like they are too busy or don't know what to do. Getting the run a round is not fun. I would call them and ask them to schedule it and tell them your insurance company is just waiting for that. Good luck.

Debbie, that is fabulous news. You will love your band. I love mine.

My weight seems to be coming off of my stomach the most. My butt is also shrinking. My arms are too flabby to tell.

Nancy, congrats on making a life changing decision. I can't believe I am down 39 lbs since June. I haven't even tried to lose weight. With the band it just happens. I wouldn't want it any other way. I hope your journey is successful. Keep the faith. The band is a great tool. Good luck.

Mark me down for current weight 245 -3 7 more to go. Thanks!

Good luck with your decision and Mexico. I love my lapband.

deckedout, I know how you feel. I have always been the obese one in the family. Yesterday my sister paid me a compliment and I thought she was crazy. I don't feel good about myself. I've lost 70 lbs but still feel like crap. I really hope and pray that my self esteem will improve through this process.

vlynnfogg, what you are experiencing is norma given you don't have a fill. If you feel like you are eating too much and/or you are not losing weight it is time for a fill.

Sushi is hit and miss for you. Typically I can get down one tuna roll but this week I tried another type of roll and PB'd it up. I would try it but eat it very slowly.

Jina, that is fabulous news. I wish I had someone to go through the surgery with. Congrats on your impending surgery. I hope everything goes smoothly for you guys.

Cheri, congrats on your impending surgery. You will love your band.

Hi, welcome to lapband talk. Congrats on your impending surgery. You will love your band.

Your doing beautifully. Keep up the good work.

Its not what they said, its what he didn't say. I haven't spoken to a friend of mine but once in 7 months. There was no reason given to me as to why we don't talk anymore. I would have preferred a reason. What a jerk.

Its rare but it does happen. I hope you feel better soon.

Congrats on attending the weight loss seminar. Hope you do well with your surgery.

Congrats on your surgery. Hope your recovery goes well.

Very interesting indeed. Rosie should shut your fat mouth, literally. It just seems like she is out for people these days. WLS was one of the biggest decisions of my life. If I could have taken the 82 lbs off after losing 40 myself I would have. I tried for 2 years. That is why I chose WLS. Too bad they have to say stuff like that on TV.
