Finally broke the 200!! I weigh 199 I can't remember the last time being under 200! I've lost 96lbs since sept 2011. I'm super excited!

How many calories do you eat a day? I'm pretty new to this but I love your loss.

Hi there can someone, anyone help me i was banded on 4/13/10 i weighted 271 today almost two years later i' m 180. whats killing me is that before march 30th i was at 8 cc and with all the restriction in the world of lap band! well on this day my doc and his assistance gave me less than a quarter fill the problem is that know i have no restriction at all its as if i don't have a lap band inside me i' m now able to eat anything and everything i wish for like before i had the wls! mind you it was a little difficult for my doct to find the exact spot to stick the needle in but after two intents and a little bleeding he gave me the fill well his assistant did with his help cause he was there all of the time but i must have been better off with out it because now my stomach is open than ever. before and yes i'm still burping all the time though I feel as if he must have punctured my band or if the band has slipped because at this point i can eat a whole house! please help me tell me what must be the problem. I'm so scared to gain all this weight bk it's hasen't been an easy journey at all!

Eliva I think you need to request that you get a fill with the flouro-stuff. That way the doc can watch how liquid progrsses through your band. they may be able to see if your bad slipped or if it isnt filled at all. make sure you call your doc asap.

Divadoll - CONGRATS!!!!!! I know it must be an amazing feeling to be in the 100's now. You have totally earned it. When you exercise, what type of routines do you do? Mostly cardio? or half cardio half weight training?

Thanks so much!!!

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
