  1. I really really wish I didn't go through Beverly Hills Physicians originally... I just got a bill for roughly $8500. I already paid $4000 out of pocket with that original procedure and already had that band removed and replaced. Now I'm getting bills over a year later for a defective product/surgery.

  2. You're looking and doing great. Keep up the good work!

  3. Welcome to the site. You look fabulous and are going to do great on this journey.

  4. Just looked through your progress album. Great job! Keep up the good work.

  5. Just went through you're album and you're awesome! Great job. You're an inspiration to all.

  6. Wow, you've lost an amazing amount of weight. Great job!!!

  7. I gotta tell you, you look great. You did an amazing job and are an inspiration to all.

  8. Hey man, I was curious, with all your weight loss, did you have to have a tummy tuck or anything like that? Did you end up with any excess skin?

  9. You're albums are awesome. You've done amazing things and are an inspiration to all.

  10. I've been going through your albums and I must say, your transformation is amazing. You're an inspiration to all on this board. Keep up the good work

  11. So, how'd the surgery go? How's your recovery going?

  12. So, you getting excited yet? It's coming up here soon. I just got rebanded this last week. Much better! So, we can go through this adventure together. Keep me in the loop on how things go

  13. To my understanding the insurance covered the replacement. Hell, it cost me less out of pocket for the replacement than the original by A LOT. I originally got my surgery through Beverly Hills Physicians which cost me $4000 out of pocket (with insurance), and the replacement was done at Cedars Sinai which was only $300 out of pocket (with insurance). Really wish I didn't go through Beverly Hills Physicians originally!

  14. Hey! I stumbled upon your profile and I must say you've done a great job with your band. Congrats. I noticed your social lifestyle fits closer to mine than most people I've seen on here, how are you balancing your partying and drinking with your band?

  15. Holy bananas, I just went through your album and you've done an amazing job. You're an inspiration to all

  16. Yo man, I saw that you were recently banded and already losing. Good job man and keep it up. You'll be down in no time

  17. So, after all the headache I've gone through with my band, I'm losing it. After an endoscopy that came back clean, I went to get my first fill in over 6 months. When I got my fill, it hurt in the chest real bad. But then we discovered that there was a leak after we inserted 10cc but can only pull out 6cc. So, Doctor is referring me to have the band removed and possibly reinstalled :-(

  18. I'm doing, eh... I haven't lost weight in forever it seems like. It could be because I'm completely unfilled and going back to a lot of my old ways. I have an appointment tomorrow to have my band checked out and possibly refilled if there aren't any issues. Right before Thanksgiving... I'm determined to lose another 35 lbs before Christmas, and dammit, I'll do it.

  19. Hey! I just got through reading an old thread of yours about thinking your band may be a dud because of no restriction... it was a great thread. You made mention that you had temptations to eat past your full point, what will happen if you do? I haven't had restriction really since I've had the band and will be going to my doc to see if I need a major fill. Thanks for that thread!

  20. Where have you been? I haven't see anything from you in forever. I hope all is well

  21. Happy Band-iversary! How do you like your results in one year? I must say you've done a great job.

  22. Hey! Long time no chat. How have things been going for you? I haven't talked to you since you were looking for a new Dr for fills. Any success? Hope all is well!

  23. Hey! I was wondering how things are going for you. I know the holidays are coming up and this is when things get interesting. I hope you're making progress! Let me know how your are going

  24. I was just checking out your album and I must say you look stunning. Great job!

  25. Wow Chels, you're whooping everyone at this weight loss stuff. I can't believe how fast you're doing this... the weights just melting off of you. What's your secret? You're an inspiration to all!
