  1. :cursing: Hey, so glad to find ya'll? Can I pleeeeaaaase join yall? Quick version of my story. I am 5 6. I had surgery October 20, 2008. I began at 225 prior to the pre-op. I am now at 210. My goal is 140. But, I have only lost 15 lbs. I read on the main talk area that people that had surgery in October have lost on average about 30 pounds. I try to stay patient but HEEEELLLPPPP :cursing:. I do not want to be a failure. I was a cash pay and that is sooo much money. I have a 10cc band and have had 3 fills which puts me at 6.8cc's. I think last tuesday (my 3rd fill) I have maybe reached my "sweet spot" everybody talks about. Please give me yalls input.
  2. Hey!!! I got banded with TLCEdge in Dallas October 20, 2008. They are very nice. I did my whole work up in one day and then scheduled the date for my surgery. It all went very well. However, I have only lost 10 pounds total. I go for my third fill tomorrow and I am thinking this one will be it. Just call the number the website gives and they will do all the work for you. I was self-pay as well. I have received bills for the work-up from the PCP and from the surgery anesthetist, but I just faxed them over to the tlcedge people and they handled all of it. Good luck!!!
  3. Congratulations on your loss!!! I too was banded October 2008. I have only lost 10 pounds though. I go for my third fill on tuesday. I currently have 5.6cc in 10 cc band. I need major motivating. Also, how do you get your ticker on your post?
