I havent been in the chat room in awhile.now i cant get in.it wont come up when i click on it.any ideas on what to try.

help.

thanks everyone:cursing:

Ive been sitting here looking at veryones before and after pics and i really feel like im failing even with my band.i was banded feb 25,2009 and im only down 55 pounds if im lucky,the scale seems to go up and down just like it did before my band.its like im back on my yoyo diets.its real frustrating knowing im not eating anything like i used to and its just not coming off very fast at all.I see all these people that got their band the same time i id or even after and have lost a lot more weight than i can even think about losing.Im failing my band. I dont know what else to do.its been a long slow fight to get off what weight i have lost.but im still losing my battle just like i always have.

The one good thing that i have been able to do is get my blood sugar under control.

NOTHING TASTES BETTER THAN SKINNY:crying:

:cursing:any one else having problems getting in the chat room the last couple days.i cant get in at all.

ive been trying to get in the chat room for 2 days and its blank when i go in.is there something wrong ?

did anyone ever start a support group in columbus i was banded feb 25,2009.would be interested in going to the meetings:thumbup:

I live in columbus,Ga and im looking for a support group around town.i was banded feb 25,2009

the surgery isnt bad at all.u will be sore a couple days then youll start getting back to normal.

As far as your port showing ,mine doesnt but i can feel it better since ive lost a few pounds.

The band isnt a quick fix, it takes time and what and how much you can eat changes from person to person and somw days you can eat things and the next you cant.

I used Dr. Finley in Atlanta he was a pretty good surgeon.

i live in columbus georgia and got to atlanta to Dr.finley for my fills.My free ones are over and i just found out his charge is $300.00 and i have to pay $195.00 for the fluoro scope.

I cant afford that.i need to find me a cheaper Doctor do take over my care and do my fills.Are their many doctors that will work behind another doctor and take his patient.

I cant afford to spend $495.00 every time i get a fill:cursing:

My weight loss has stopped.ive been around 260 to 265 for a month or so and i cant seem to lose anything.its getting real discouraging.im still able to eat more than i think i should be able to.i hope my third fill at the end of the month helps.any ideas on what i need to do.

does anyone know the web site where u can put ur pic in and it will show a picture of what you might look like skinny?

im going on the 27th for my first fill. i asked my doc about how much he puts in at a time and he told me that he does it under fluro so he can see how much restriction you have.the way i understood him hes going to be pretty agressive with this fill,like i might get a pretty good one.the way he made it sound he was going to fill it till i had restriction since he was using the fluroscope.

does this sound like any of your doctors?

anyone get the hiccups when they eat?i get them i guess when i get full then i have the urge for it to come back up.is this normal ?

i cant figure out how to post a thread without going to the intoduction forum first.can u explain how to use all this stuff or where to go to get info and training. thx

well as long as nothing changes i go on the 23rd for my preop tests and then on the 25th i get my band.i dont know if i need to be scared or excited

theres one in st.petersburg

fillcentersusa.com

anyone use Dr. Rick Finley in Atlanta,Ga? im going to use him for my band and wanted to know if anybody liked him or not.

where you happy withocc?im considering going to them

anyonw know a doctor that doesnt require a sleep apnea test.i live in columbus georgia so i need a doctor in atlanta or somewhere close

I am in Columbus. I am scheduled for lap band surgery on 10/28 it Atlanta. I cannot wait to get it over with, but I can wait to start the all liquid pre-op diet :huh2:.
