you guys are correct; I only saw the nurse. Weighed in (no change, ugh), flashed her my scars and left. Was there for maybe 10 min total. Don't get me wrong, they're very nice and professional, just didn't see Felix himself. Oh, and I got the go ahead for a fill in a few weeks @ the surgicenter. She said since I'm a cash patient, I should get filled for free for the first year. BTW, nothing is free-- just prepaid!

Brat-

nurse just gave me the ok to make an appt in a few weeks for a fill-- haven't had one yet. I haven't asked the s/center yet if it's free or not. I'll do that when I make the appt.

I'm on my daughter's site set up this morning so she can have support. We're out near Beltway 8 and Memorial. Perhaps we could get some type of support group out here. I imagine those I see on here banned 9/1 were the same I saw in recovery. Ashley is doing fine. Has lost 10 pounds and headed to gym for first trip on treadmill to walk.

Keep us posted. Just learning site

Ash's mom,

No....North Richland Hills - never heard of Leona.

My surgeon was Dr Adam Smith, one of the best in my book. He has a great personality/bedside manner AND he's one of us - a BANDSTER.

Hey Brat-

I've made the appt for my first fill-- Sept 27. I asked about the "free fills" for self pay and the answer is yes. You get free fills for the first 12 months. Hope all is well.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
