No fill for me today
Yes this happened to me on my first fill , no hematoma. But my Dr. thought I might have an infection. So I flew to Denver and instead of a fill I was sent home with antibiotics. The Dr. and I both agreed that it was not worth the risk. I am a self pay. This does mean you will be in bandster hell longer, so stay strong. Try not to worry just start working out and it will be time for your fill sooner than you know. Remember this is for life no quick fix LOL. Keep up the good work. And good luck. Band 3/11/10

Banded January 24..mixed feelings
I have been banded about 10 1/2 months now. I thought about having this lap band for 4 years. I am a self pay. I will tell all you new banders. The pain will go away. And yes it is very hard no easy way out on this. All in all I can honestly say that I am so happy I made the decision. My life after 75 LBs is so much better in every way. I still get sad that I have so much more to loose but at least now I know I can do this. 90 lbs almost seems reachable were as 165 did not. I wish all of you the best. Hang in there. You can do it.

What would you do?
YOU DONT NEED TO TELL HER IF YOU DONT WANT TO. I MADE THE CHOICE NOT TO TELL ANY ONE. JUST MY HUSBAND AND MY DAUGHTER KNOW. ANY WAY WHAT I TELL PEOPLE IS (ONLY WHEN THEY ASK) . "MY GOAL IS TO EAT 1/2 OF WHAT I USED TO AND EAT IT SLOW" WORKS FOR ME. NO ONE QUESTIONS THAT. I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN THE BIGIST PERSON AMONG FREINDS AND FAMILY SO ITS NOT LIKE I HAVE ANY ONE WANTING TO KNOW MY SERECT TO SUCSESS. GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR FAMILY. HAVE FUN. REMEMBER THIS IS NOT A DIET ITS A LIFE STYLE CHANGE. HOPEFULLY YOU WILL BE EATING THIS WAY FOR LIFE. SO NO NEED TO EXPLAIN YOURSELF.

Stuck in relapse
WTF get to your Dr. and get a fill. I am a self pay and dont have any $$$$$ but I manage to save enough to get my fills. You need to find a Dr. that takes self pays. They almost always offer less expensive options. Dont give up Kayla.

Zumba anyone?
Well its all been said. I love Zumba I try to go 4 days a week. I really dont like one of the two instructors. But I go just for the work out. Yes Dance shoes are every thing. I would not try without them if you have bad knees. I was out of town for the holidays., and when I returned the classes with my fav instrutor was so packed. Oh well New Years. hopefuly it will get a little less full. Just go have fun it is really a judgement free zone, So what if you dont get all the steps . at least your doing it when was the last time i danced for over an hour. Go ZUMBA. Maybe some day I will be in Zumba clothes. I Wil I will.!!!!!!!!!!! 3/11/10
