That is awesome news that you have an appt ! Im glad its finally here and it leave you enough time to get your classes taken care of too so you dont have to worry about that ! Let me know if you need anything ! ! love Mindy

Kendra, Im glad to see you have a preliminary appt set up so hopefully you can be seen next week ! I love the boots, I see they are Ariats ? They are SO COMFY I have a pair of them . The soles last for EVER ! Keep us updated ! I have been thinking about you , as you can see from my annoying emails LOL Mindy

I cant wait to see your pics, Your thread gave me the idea to do this once im at goal . Not sure if anyone but hubby and Ya'll will see them though LMAO Mindy

My back and hip do not hurt today . I was surprised after walking that much yesterday . I am a little sun burnt on my chest and face though . Surprised my legs did not get sun burnt after seeing the sun for the first time in 6 or so yrs. I hope I will walk again today too so i dont get sore Mindy

Ok I "Started' The Program again. I went to the zoo today and walked and walked, A good 3 hours. I meant to bring my pedometer to track it but I TOTALLY FORGET UGHHH . I KNOW it was well over a mile im guessing it was at least 3 ! So that's my "easing" back into it i needed that my doc told me to do LOL Mindy

Ok so i have to move my a$$ literally LOL My R hip has been bothering me for the past week or so . So i went to the doc today to get it checked out . Turns out that its "weak Muscles" in my lower back and my butt from ! My doc asked me " did you suddenly stop working out , specifically running or something like that ? " I said yeah actually a few months ago when I got pneumonia" he said what happened was I had build up so much muscle in my "back area" So quickly then stopped that those muscles after day to day use are giving out and need to be build back up . He said " you didnt have this issue before cause you did not use them when you were over weight . SO my RX MOVE MY A$$ !!! He told me to walk for a few weeks and do some yoga to stretch them back out . So here i am telling everyone so you make me be accountable ! SO today going to walk on treadmill , maybe outside. tomorrow i'll get my walking in Taking the kids to the Zoo in San Antonio ! mindy

Oh Hon , no one said we didnt believe you . I honestly was asking how fault could be "determined" for my self , just curious thing. Mindy

My fills are free for a yr . I pay $125 for flouro to the hospital . The first 3 fills I had they were about every 6-8 weeks . then my last once i stretched out to 12 weeks , I had some issues with being able to tolerate 1cc fills . And the first 2 fills i had to go back and get .5 cc's taken out . So i wanted to see if waiting a bit longer helped plus we ( doc and I ) that .5cc fills or smaller is what we will do from now on to avoid unfills. Im not required to see him any certain time. except i think at one yr . But i see him enough as it is and i can see him when ever lOL I can call on Monday and be in to see him anytime that week . Mindy

Oh that's too bad , I see my doc EVERY Visit , fill or not . And he does all my fills himself. that's why a reason i picked him, He does not spend a lot of time , its not needed when its a fill. But he spends as much time as I NEED with me . He's great. Mindy

I do that every time i get a fill., its up to me to schedule the fill , once i do i sit down with my doc and he asks me quite a few questions and determines if i need a fill or not . I think most docs are like this. Mindy

Yes i have discovered that as well. Not accounting for stressful periods , Period periods (LOL) and the band just plain being funky ! Mindy

As Dr Phil says " Let me know how this works out for you " If i did that my doc would tell me to kiss his a$$ ! Not those exact words but you get my drift ! Advocate for yourself yes. But The first 6 weeks after SURGERY is there for RECOVERY not to see how quickly you can get a fill . Also fills can take several days ( in my case can take up to a WEEK ) to kick in . SO your risking being TOO TIGHT and needing an unfill. SORRY this is VERY bad advice ! Mindy

LMAO Ya'll have not seen that movie, She walks into the Water park and the employee stops "her" and says " Excuse me are you wearing bottoms " she says " BOTTOMS I HAVE BOTTOMS ON " and LIFTS HER STOMACH UP to show him her bikini bottoms IT IS THE FUNNIEST !!! Wombat , I wont have plastics until i pay off my band but i hope to do that next yr im doubling my payments I financed a little over half of it. Here is a clip watch it until the end !! [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MmSZJ17ppEQ]YouTube - Norbit Trailer[/ame] Thanks Mindy

How can the "fault" be determined ? Mindy

Oh that is AWESOME , I hope they are discussing your case that's even better. ! Just let me know if you need anything! I keep thinking your in class this week ! OH im registering for the LiveStrong 5K Walk Run in Honor of YOU this October:biggrin:. My goal is to RUN it but im going to be happy if i Walk it LOL Just saw the details today on the LAF.org Site. Hope your well ! Mindy

OH no not a NORBIT !!! LMAO Sad thing funniest part of that movie for me was that cause i could relate :drool: Mindy

OH its SO NICE here , probably 75 might be 80 breezy . I SHOULD be outside ! Yep doing plastics. Breast aug with Lift, TT , and my arms if i cant work them out ! mindy

:drool::tt2::tongue2::tt2::tt2::tt2::tt2: (Daddy in a speedo ! Im going to in the am , something is wrong with my hip . Another bandster told me its cause my a$$ is boney now and im sitting on my butt different , basically no more padding ! Which actually makes sense, But it hurts, and feels like it wants to give out certain times. So im going to go tomorrow to get it checked out anyway ! I'll walk tonight just to be safe then see what they say , I look 75 pds THEN my hip starts hurting GO Figure ! Mindy

Now Im not saying you should have these in the house all the time , I dont . I dont by crap and keep in the house, because i have boys too. Sodas are not allowed in my house EVER AGAIN. But I will admit I have not been a "Binge" eater per say . I guess I was a grazer if that makes sense ? for instance if there is a CAKE in the house, I am good with one piece , and then a few hours later another piece , and then another , or another bit then another. THAT not good with the band, the band typically does not stop that . SO What i do is out of sight out of mind. food is put it AS SOON as plates are made in my house. Left overs are not kept . Ect. But I dont "Binge" in the typical sense so in that way I can control it IF I want a candy bar I go get ONE ! The closest thing to chip i keep are toritalla chips . everyone is different. Try to find what works. In general what works for me is not depriving , if i want a burger I eat a burger ( No bun) . I DO MISS Bread on occasions though . Mindy

OHHH ROFLMAO OHHHH ROFLMAO I thought you said BIKINI !!! I about peed myself !!!!!Not sure what your SMOKING My dear BIKINI and ME dont/ wont mix until BOOBIE and TUMMY TUCK are in front of it LMAO :drool::tongue2::tt2::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol: I think im going to do Yoga between runs . I bought some new Shorts and T shirt today at the finish line to run in . Mindy

I do think that some people might not be able to do this . However I do think you can for instance, Chocolate , Say you want some ,, you can find a "healthier" alternative to satisfy your craving, the band is not going to let you eat an entire bag of chips . Even for chips, if you crave that salty crunch , get some healthier version of your favorite chips they are all over now. Also what I do , just so its not as hard, If i have a bag of chips, I will take it and get those snack size zip lock bags, (This goes for anything thats not individually packaged) and say 12 chips is one serving, I break the WHOLE BAG up into this snack bags so each bag has 1 serving, that way if i want chips i grab one LITTLE BAG and not the WHOLE bag, it helps to trick your eyes. You think " OH Ok bags done " It works, for me its less tempting to just keep eating. I do it for my kids too so they dont sit there and eat a whole bag of something. Also you can get chocolates, Like the ghiradeli ( Spelling) Chocolates that are individually wrapped one serving! HTH Mindy

I have crave chocolate i eat it , If i want some ice cream I eat it . Why ? If not your depriving yourself , which IMHO is not different than a diet which lets face it obviously did not work for any of us . I feel if you deprive yourself then you are more opt to go over board. So if you crave something then have a small portion of it . HTH MIndy

Ok im gonna do IT THIS TIME !!! I GOTTA my weight is STALLING . Im RESTARTING WEEK ONE TODAY !!! KICK MY LAZY A$$ Back IN GEAR YA"LL !!!!! DOING IT !!! Mindy:scared2:

Honestly this could be ANYTHING. If you want to know what it is go to the court house and ask for the file , its public record, hence it being in the paper. Seriously good docs get sued more often than you think (that's why medical cots are so high , a reason at least) people bring frivolous law suits against them all the time. NOT that this is one , i have no idea. Your best bet is to go to the court house ask to see the filing and make your own judgement . OR Ask the doc about it himself ! Mindy

I know you will stop on top of it , your good about that stuff. Of course it would be so easy to do it while your out of school. But people cant make things easy on anyone can they ? I hope you hear some news soon ! MIndy
