    Has anyone used Care credit?

    I used them for part of my lapband surgery as well and I haven't had any problems at all with them. They do have diffrent porgrams/ rates ect so check with your Dr. as to what they accept. Part of mine is no intrest if paid in 18 months and they also have 12 or 13% intrest...which is better than most credit cards! But no I've had no problems with the company at all!
  4. Thanks Pam! We are going to the Oregon Coast for our honeymoon. Going to a little beach town called Pacific City! It's really beautiful there! My Aunt and Uncle have a house at the beach that they have offered us to stay....it's really nice! We can't wait! I hope I'll get to the right adjustment Monday! I think there are some people with older band who have smaller one...I think they are 5cc, then I've heard of a 10cc then the one I have 14cc. Not sure if that's all....but that's what I've heard of. If you just got banded it's probably a 10 or 14cc band. I'm glad the imput helped you with your decision! Good luck with everything!
  5. Thanks Pam! I haven't updated the profile in a bit but thanks for looking :smile: My first fill I had too much restriction and had a cc taken out. I've since had 2 fills, the first with another 1/2 cc and I had that for 2 months and then just last Monday I got another 3/4cc fill and now I'm too tight again! Urgh! I guess I'm ultra sensitive. I have 6 3/4cc now in a 14 cc band.....but I'm back in on Monday to have some taken out. I'm back to not being able to keep solids down so I'm on liquids. I've lost about 6 pounds this week but it's not very fun! I hate to see you suffer something like that on your vacation! I'm hoping the if he just takes out 1/4-1/2 cc I will be at the perfect spot!!!! :scared2: I'm getting married August 14th and will be gone a week on my honeymoon....if I did need another fill I defenitly won't be getting that till after my honeymoon :tt2: Thanks again Pam and enjoy your vacation!
  6. I would wait till you get home! I had 3.5 cc on my first fill and had a lot of restriction and couldn't keep solids down without throwing up! That would really ruin your vacation! I ended up having to go back in a get a cc out. So althought most don't get a lot of restriction after the first fill it can happen....and it would be pretty misrible to happen when you are out of town on vacation! 2 weeks isn't that long...if it was me I would wait! Good luck what ever you decide to do and enjoy your vacation!
  7. hello christy, how have you been doing? is your daughter getting rid of the annoying lice yet?lol damn i can't stand those things!lol i just wanted to say hi and see how things were going for ya:) im doing good eating soft foods i havn't had any problems yet! i hope it continues to stay that way! well have a great day and i will talk to you soon.

  8. i just started to walk a few days ago and i think that really helps speed up weightloss! is that what were suppose to have 1200 cals a day? i was wondering how much we should have a day. when you first got your fill how much could ur pouch handle at a time? 2ozs? it sounds like your eating really healthy which is awesome!! you are doing a great job with everything!! i cant wait til im out of the 300s as well!! that will feel soooo good! do they put 3.5 ccs in everybodys first fill? or is everyone different do you know? well it was great hearing from you and once again GREAT JOB with everything!!! and i hope your daughter gets rid of them soon!:( and i will add you on facebook. im on there quite a bit! have a great day and il talk to you soon:)

  9. hey there,it was great hearing from you! and you can write me a novel anytime you want!lol i love hearing how you are doing and getting tips from you!:) wow!!sounds like you are doing great with your band! im sorry to hear about your daughter getting lice!thats no fun at all!! im not looking forward to when my kids are older and all in school when head lice are going around!lol it seems to be once a year theres a case of em that go around! thats great you lost 10pds in 1week! im a little over 2weeks post op and have lost 25 pounds already!! im so happy bout that!! i have the 14cc band also but i dont have any in it until my first fill in about 3-4weeks. i cant wait to have some restriction! i cant eat as much as i did but i feel like i can eat quite abit if i wanted to! im eating soft foods now. that first 10days were horrible for me!lol my pain is gone except portsite every once in awhile and i have bad shoulder pain that comes and goes!

  10. For me it like when you are about to throw up and your mouth gets all watery...just a clear spit...but I never threw anything up so that's good! Anyway I'm thinking the restriction I have now will be letting up some. I go back in March 29th for another fill if I need it. I haven't really been hungry much at all...just a little but I really don't think about it as much as usual so that's good. The fill itself was easy...didn't hardly hurt at all. My Dr.s the best! Anyway I wrote you another novel! Hope you are doing good...what's your diet like now? When do you go in for your fill? I'm on face book under my real name :) Christy Allen in Nampa Idaho...add me that's be cool :) Christy aka shannie...lol

  11. Sample day for me like today I ate for breakfast 1/2 cup of yoplait fruit smothie w/ 1/2 cup 1% milk and a scoop of unflavored protien powder (180 cals), lunch 1/2 cup cottage cheese and 1 grilled veggie (chicken flavored) burger w/ ketcup and a little mayo (200), snack 1/4 cup almonds (170), dinner 1 salmon patty-3 oz, 1/4 cup brocolli steamed and 1 small red potatoe (385 cals) then I had a few slices of cheese and 16 reduced fat wheat thins (240 cals)for bed time snack (can't break that habit for some reason!) Had a pretty good eating day today! More then I've been able to eat in the last week. Total cals 1175. I've been trying to stay around 1200 a day...although this last week it's been tough to get there. Last night I could only eat about an ounce of chicken for dinner and a few bites of a flat bun and a few bites of macaroni salad. Then I started getting a watery mouth is what I call it...lol! I guess they call it sliming.

  12. Hi Mike! How are you doing? Was thinking about you the other day wondering if you where hanging in there. I'm doing pretty good other than dealing with an outbreak of lice at my daughter school and lucky me she got it....urgh! Band wise I'm doing better. I got a fill last Monday...I have a 14 cc band and I already had 3 cc in it and he added another 3.5cc. I've been pretty tight since then. Have been pretty restricted almost a little to much but I think it's loosening up a little. Today was the first night I was able to eat my dinner without thinking it was coming back up!!! I've lost 10 pounds since last Monday at the Drs...that's the good thing! Finally blew 300's out of the water and down to 292 this am....it seemed to happen in about 1 day too...weird! I was 302 at the Dr's then next couple days 299 or 300 them bam next day 293?? WTH?? Ah well as long as it stays I'm good with that!

  13. hello shannie:) how has everything been going for you? i have been doing pretty good with everything except i find myself getting hungry quite often! i cant wait until my 1st fill to get the full satisfied feeling!! do you know when you will get your 1st fill? i cant wait til i can have solid foods again!!!lol how has everything been with you? hows your apetite been? hope you have a great night!:) oh yeah i wanted to ask you if you were on myspace or facebook? i go on there alot!lol
