:bored :bored :bored well well I guess this site has nobody from the chatt. area and let me also guess that no body has been banded at memorial hos. by dr. fromm-paynter-or ponce?? Geez I sure feel like the lonesome stud here lol.

I need to go for a fill, but my work schedule is so crazy right now I don't have time to fit it in :thumbup:

about the same. need a fill i think but i am definitely waiting until my appt. can eat anything now and am still hungry after eating. that is probably contributing to my discouragement. no more too tight for me, i hope. :bored:

how is everyone else doing?

I am right back there with both of you. I hadn't realized that I was close to TOM when I got my fill last week. I see now I was just feeling restriction from that. I am not feeling anything at all right now. I am back to being able to eat too. I woke up starving this morning. Man, that sure didn't last long.

I have really good restriction early in the day, but I sure can eat like a pig later in the day. I tried calling to try to schedule a fill, but I never could get through. I will try again in the morning. I just hope they can get me in soon. I usually have to wait at least a month and I can't stand that. I hope they can get me in next week.

Carrie-were you able to get in touch with them before they closed today?

Yes I did. I have an appointment Wednesday. I am just going to have to get off work early. I really need to go. How are you?

I'm doing pretty good. My body can't decide if it has restriction or not. I guess it is just a guessing game for now. I hope that your fill goes well.

Thanks. I know what you mean. It varies so much from day to day.

just saying hi.

How are you? I posted the link to that blog in the share what you eat thread.

thanks, slim. i am going to read more of that blog also.

i am thinking i need a fill but am apprehensive about getting one for obvious reasons, but i am ok.

how are you?

I don't know. I have made some poor choices lately. I am paying for it on the scale. I have been at home all week for vacation. It has been to easy to graze. I have actually gained about 3 pounds since my fill. That makes me feel bad which makes me want eat. It is a horrible cycle.

I can understand why you are scared to get another fill. Maybe they can give you just a smidge less than they did on your last fill? Being hungry and being able to eat whatever can be discouraging. I hope they are able to work it out for you.

Carrie-how are you? Did you get your fill?

I am doing good. Yes, I got the fill on Wednesday. I just started to feel it yesterday. I am hoping this will be the last one for me, but I don't know. I still have a ways to go before I reach goal, so I may need more. Brooke didn't put that much in because she said I was doing so well. I don't think I needed much anyway. I don't eat much at one time, I was just getting hungry very fast, like within 2 hours. But yesterday I didn't even get hungry at all after lunch like I usually do. So hopefully it's going to work.

punkster, you should schedule your next fill with Brooke. She's the only one I let do mine. The doctors tend to put way too much in. She's the one who told me to request her each time. When you call, just tell whoever you talk to that you want it with her.

slim, I'm sure you will get back on track once you go back to work.

I'm glad that you seem to be doing well with your fill, Carrie. I am hoping that getting back to work will help me get back in order. Today, I decided to try to work on it. It helps that my son is going to be gone most of the day so that I don't have to worry about cooking for him. That seems to have been my downfall this week. I could almost ignore my stomach until I started cooking for him. Then, I would suddenly feel as though I was starving.

I hope that you all have a safe and fun holiday weekend!

They tell me that Ponce has to do mine. i dont know why though. i will ask about it next time. my fill is already scheduled for this week. brooke did my unfill the second time and i really liked her doing it.

happy 4th everyone.

I don't know why Dr. Ponce would have to do yours. Maybe it's because of your insurance?

scared about my fill tomorrow. :tongue_smilie: still at around the same weight.
