  1. I think you would be doubling up ? On off days you want to do weight traning or soemthing along those lines. your days of running ARE your cardio , I believe ? Correct me if im wrong some one ? Mindy
  2. Mine was $80 but i had my eye brows , lip and chin done too . I think the Bikini Wax was $60 ? Mindy
  3. I speak to WASA often and I ASSURE YOU she's not Mexican and she cares about what she does. She puts up with a LOT of crap, harrassment and threats from people as well as other " Professional" people for FREE ! :cursing: We Love ya Wasa Mindy
  4. Yes it is good to see you here ! Mindy
  5. Are you aware what the purpose of the Pre op diet is prior to surgery ? its to shrink your liver to make surgery safer for you . I understand you do not know what this is all about . Laproscopic surgery , is what the lap band surgery is , So to me it makes no sense to do a surgery BEFORE lap band surgery in order for you to loose weight BEFORE a surgery for you to lose weight ? the pre op diets do not last but at the longest 2 months ? So by time you recover from this pre op diet surgery it will be time to have an other surgery ? This makes no sense to me ! I would get more info for sure. I guess this is how things get approved that are new. But this really does not make any sense at all ! I also believe that studies are normally done blindly the participants do not know or are not aware of who is doing it ? Mindy
  6. refried beans, Sour Cream , quacamole and melted cheese was my FAVORITE thank GAWD I found the recipe on here. ! Mindy :tt2::tt2::tt2::tt2:
  7. So you will have a surgery before a surgery ? is that right ? Im confused ? If that is the case i would personally probably opt out of that . Mindy
  8. Ya'll she is still less than 6 week POST OP > she's only on MUSHIES !!! LMAO ya gotta be careful how you respond when people ask for advice, Some newbies come here because they do not get ANY info from their docs. All it takes is for one person to tell them" go ahead eat that solids" and they will do it ! So please be careful when hading out advice. Not trying to be mean or bitchy . But She is still post op . ! She cant even have solids yet ! Call YOUR DOC And ask him when EVER in doubt ! mindy
  9. OHH I can so relate ! I have about 45-50 pds to go before goal and someone said OH you should start looking into Plastic Surgeon's. I think i would torture myself ! how long does our surgeon want you at goal before doing surgery ? You have about 50 lbs to go right ? this last 50 pds to get off is SHEAR TORTURE ! I really do understand Larurend ! It will get here SOON for you . you will look SO HOT. Mindy:wink_smile:
  10. It sounds like you have restriction to me . I personally would either not get the fill or talk to my doc about what your doing first . work on chewing well, eating slow, the whole "Rules" of the band. how big is your band ? I personally would speak to your doc . But it really sounds like you have restriction . Mindy
  11. only a few weeks post op though . that's a different story Mindy
  12. First off who are you addressing ? Second lets not personally attack people on the boards . I am not sure how after 29 posts you can get a feel for who is doing what on the boards ? Mindy
  13. the best thing to do is ask your doc. "Soup" can mean a variety of things. Also docs have different opinions. If your on the mushie stage and you have tomaote soup , that is fine, But if your on mushie stage and you want Loaded Baked potatoe soup , well that's probably up for debate ?? So look at the info your doc gave you ( should have gave u ) and when in doubt ask the doc that is what you pay them for . Mindy
  14. I have been prescribed it twice and never gotten the RX filled. So far the best thing for my PCOS symptoms is the band LOL Mindy
  15. Sorry I know im not from Australia but there is a HUGE PCOS Thread about this ... here it is if you want to check it out . http://www.lapbandtalk.com/f17/those-who-have-pcos-44999/ I know if you search through it in the later pages they talk about Metformin . there is a lot of useful info on it . There is another thread here for you as well http://www.lapbandtalk.com/f17/question-female-bandsters-esp-w-pcos-help-47970/ I think that is it . there are few other smaller threads but that first one has a lot of info about Metformin , Feel free to jump in there someone will answer your question for ya . HTH Mindy
  16. I agree that it MIGHT not be an issue but she is 2 weeks post op , and i always try to take liquids when ever possibly just to be safe. But like you said when in doubt ALWAYS call your doc. Mindy
  17. Have you tried posting in The Texas Thread ? I did a quick search and did not find anything . But maybe someone in there has heard something about him . Sorry im not much help Mindy
  18. you might try posting or looking in the Georgia "section" for more info if you do not get any luck here ? Have you tried there ?? Georgia - Lap Band Talk Forum - The largest forum for Lap Band Surgery Discussion and Lap Band Surgery Support I can move the thread if you would like me to ? Let me know Mindy
  19. I would call your doctor being 2 weeks post op . Each doc is so different that it would be best. You can always get the liquid benedryl also if he says its ok to take. HTH Mindy
  20. If they are talking about the acutaly Baratric procedure the sleeve , that's not new ? This sounds like something different. Is this instead fo surgery ? Im curious what this is ? Mindy
  21. Congrats ! Are you going through insurance or self pay ? read up and do you reasearch you will do great. Love Mindy
  22. You need to ask your doc about it. Some meds are ok some are not . Some can or need to be crushed some do not . So meds can not be crushed. Each doc has their own stipulations. So its best to ask them HTH Mindy
  23. I think you just explained yourself why people might over look some not so nice qualities about a doc if a doc is as "friendly" as what you explained do you not think these docs know Obese woman dont have low self esteems ? do you not think that these docs do not know that a little sweet talk can get them a long way ???? Just my input . :scared2: mindy
