    I'm going to need...

    Most plastic surgeons require you make the full payment 2 weeks before the procedure. Insurances are picking up some cost but it is normally only if you have had multiple rashes, your stomach has to hang so low and you have to be pretty far out after reaching your goal.

    Bobbie you look Great! I am not quite sure what you are so worried about, the before and current pictures should be motivation enough! GREAT WORK!
  4. The first couple of fills I got I didnt feel anything. Now I have almost 8cc in a 10cc band and I absolutaly feel it when I get a fill. My doctor always pulls all of my fluid out before putting more in to make sure there are no leaks or anything and I feel in as soon as she takes it out and I almost gasp when she puts it back in. It isn't pain but it is a little uncomfortable! I suppose it is different for everyone though.

    Smoking before surgery

    I quit 3 months before surgery. My doctor takes your blood the morning of surgery and if you have nicotine in it they would not do the surgery. I figured that I had waited and worked so hard to have the surgery that I wasn't going to let a smoke mess it up!
  10. Tomorrow will come and go so quickly and everything will be great! You can fast forward a week and think about the start of your new life. It was about a week after my surgery and I realized my banding date wasnt just my banding date, it was the day I took control and started living my life. Best of luck to you!
  11. Allena, I was just looking through your pictures, first off you look great but I couldn't help but notice how the smile is 10x bigger on your face than it was in your starting pictures! Congrats Allena!

    Hair loss!!!

    I started losing hair about 4 months out and lost until about 7 months out. It was terrible and I increased my protein like crazy and it didnt help. My doctor said that was natural and sometimes it just happens. Its comming back in fine now. No worries it will stop! Oh and no one is gonna be looking at your hair with that skinny new body;)

    Insurance Issues with Fills

    $500.00???????? wow try to find a different place to get a fill. Even without insurance I think my fills are $195.00
  14. Hey Bobbie if I lived in GF I would but I am living in Mayville!

  15. Wow great article! Congrats to you on your success! Hey is mitchell the place with the corn palace? I think I drove through there once. haha
  16. HAHA well it isn't Pracs. I have never done a study there. I think my veins are the smallest thing I have haha! I work at Central Valley School (buxton/Reynolds). I teach there. Yes, if you have knee problems that makes it miserable and DONT walk outside until we get rid of all this DAMN ice. I came into GF tonight to get my hair cut and it poured rain all the way back to Mayville. I am afraid we are going to be in for a doozie of flood from the Goose River:(

  17. THE REST OF MY LAST POST TO YOU! ( I GUESS IT ONLY ACCEPTS 1000 LETTERS) You just have to look within yourself and find that motivation. My motivation was comfortably fitting into a seat at the REA this hockey season and boy do I ever:) So anyways just keep on honey and you will get through it. When you are craving something, get up and write in a journal and tell yourself why you are not eating it. Hence, I want chocolate but i am NOT eating it because I am "Thick" and tired of it as you yourself said. :) keep in touch!

  18. Bobbie you look SO DARN FAMILIAR!!!! Do you work somewhere in the public eye in GF? Hon I think "MOST" people go through the same thing that you are going through. I didn't lose any weight from June-August and I literally mean not one single lb. I didn't want to go see Shelly because I was afraid she would yell at me. So here is what happened I finally sucked it up and went in. I "rejoined" the gym, I still had my membership but my dedication was nill to none. So anyways I made the trek to Altru 3rd floor wing C the dreaded wing C and Shellies response was Trisha why didn't you come in sooner. So i am asking do you think you need a fill? I didn't think I did but it sure helped. Since Novemer I have lost about 30lbs which I will NOT complain about because I made it through the rough holidays loosing and not gaining. ( A first for me I swear!)

    Gerd!

    I also just recently started having acid reflex at night and it was not after a fill or anything. I have actually woke myself up choking on acid in my throat. If you find a fix let me know!

    Wow you look HOT!
  21. I was also always told NO liquids if you are stuck because the liquids sit on top of the food that is stuck and it becomes more pressure on the band which in turn causes more pain. The Coke however expands your pouch because the carbination will inflate your little belly just enough to let the stuck food go through or bring it back up.

    My highest (327) and now. 200 pounds. Size 16.

    WOOT WOOT IF I COULD WHISTLE THROUGH HERE I WOULD! great job little lady!
  23. BODYCHOICE NUTRITION I get their protein shots. 100 calories a piece and 25 grams of protein. I have only had the sunshine orange but its ok and only 3 ounces so it goes down quick. That should fix your protein problem.
