  1. Hi Cassie! Congrats on your weight loss! I expect to be 18/20 by March. I'm in Utah. Are your clothes still available? Thanks.
  2. I'm in Utah. Willing to ship if COD or paid up front. It's a huge hefty bag of stuff, prolly expensive to ship. If you're in Utah, I'm in Salt Lake and you're welcome to pick it up. To the gal with the 18/20 Land's End swimsuit? I'm so interested!
  3. Hi all, Can anyone tell me about how I know I've hit the 'sweet spot'? Also, how many oz. of food should I be able to eat at one meal without feeling sick or stuck? Thanks!
  4. Does anyone know of good fill docs in Utah? Or even Vegas? The Fill Center doc requires flouroscopy and charges and additional 99.00 bucks for it.
  5. Hey all, If you're familiar with Fill Centers USA, I'd like your feedback regarding their fill policy. They say if you get an overfill, you can come back within 72 hours and get it emptied at no additional charge. However, for underfills, there is no protection and you're charged an additional 165.00!! This doesn't seem fair. My doctor (the only Fill Center doc in Utah) is conservative, and I got a fill yesterday and I'm still feeling no restriction. Any comments or suggestions? Also, when I signed up for their services a couple of years ago, they promised me 150.00 for fills. Then they upped their rate despite their statement that fills would always be 150.00. This also seems shady to me. But they stood their ground.
  6. Hello all! I was banded in 2004 and lost 80 lbs. Then I developed bulimia, had the band emptied and gained it back and more. :thumbup: I was just refilled yesterday and I'm a bit nervous. I'm in counseling for the bulimia and I've been in recovery for over a year now. Has anyone had experience with starting and stopping the weight loss process this severely? Any success? Any tips or encouragement? Thanks!
  7. Exercise, exercise, exercise. Especially with free weights and sit ups for your arms and tummy, where lots of excess weight lingers. Depending on your starting weight, you may need cosmetic surgery to sew up the excess despite exercise. I started at roughly 260 and exercise alone worked for me! Good luck!
