Your TexasBr@t:clap2:

So Karen was your 1st fill free.. when you went cause i was cash patient too???

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.

Ok thanks Karen let me know...would like to know myself if we get a little break lol................

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,

Another Texas girl here! Right smack dab between Dallas and Ft Worth.

We're a nutty bunch, but welcome to our tree.

PS...ya gotta love GRITS (Girls Raised In The South)

Carlene, that would put you somewhere in the neighborhood of Leona?

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.

Oh, duh, my bad. I read it wrong. Must have been a gray moment....

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.

Congratulations TexasBr@t!
