  1. I used my 401k to pay for my surgery. You can do it as a loan or a withdrawal for medical expenses. It will offset if you claim the medical cost on ur taxes bc u will be taxed if u do it as a withdrawal.
  2. I did and he wants me to come back in. I was wondering because I've read where some people didn't have any removed.
  3. I got an unfill because I felt like I wasn't able to eat enough for the baby to get enough nutrients. Now I feel like the dr took out too much.
  4. I am currently 3 months+ pregnant and have gained too much weight. When I found out that I was pregnant 6 weeks ago, I went to my Dr and had an unfill. I have since gained 15 lbs and a considering going back for a small fill. I am constantly hungry and am only satisfied for about a couple hours at a time. Has anyone else had this issue? Has anyone gotten a fill while pregnant?
  5. Yes, I got banded 09/2010 for the same reason. I am now 10 weeks pregnant without meds.

  11. The good part is that you are back on track. The band is a tool and only you can control what you eat. We all fall off sometimes and it's okay. During your post op, it is important to follow the diet so that you can properly heal. As long as you are mindful of what you eat and maintain portion control, you will be fine. Good luck.
  12. Emotions are normal. Sure, your clothes don't fit but I'm sure you are much healthier and feel better physically. Have you tried posting on the clothes forum? People are always willing to help. This community is a support for you. We have all been where you are. I too went through a phase of frustration from losing so much weight and always having to buy new. The new you is a blessing that you should claim. There are so many people out there that wish they could have your complaint. I promise you that it will get better. I wish you nothing but the best on your journey.
  13. Mine seems to be anything with mustard and it has to be extra mustard. Also smoked sausage.
