Hello everybody,

I haven't been on lapbandtalk for a while and I really missed it. In January, I moved from Germany (where I was born and raised and have lived for 44 years) all the way to Taylor, TX. The last 5 month I was busy finding a job, getting my own place to life and settling down. Well, I am back again ;).

I will try to post regularly from now on. Since I do not yet have a computer at home I use the internet at the public library in the morning. I have some questions about how the lapband control and fill up works here in the US, how much it costs for someone who does not have health insurance and yet and all such things. I will post them step by step :).

Ya'll take care ( .....oh, by the way, I gained some pounds back because my band needs to be checked and probably filled .... and because i can not stay away from milkshakes and ice cream ;) ).

Best wishes,

Irene aka texasbluebonnet

Welcome back Irene,

What major city are you closest to? Dallas? SanAntonio? I am not sure where Taylor Texas is. There are actually a number of Dr.s i Texas that take care of bandsters. They charge varying prices. Send me a PM on this site & I will try to help you out.

Sorry that it took me so long to get back. I am such a slugger when it comes to posting ^_^.

Taylor is close to Austin, about 30 miles northeast (I guess).

I got an answer to an older posting about a doctor in Bryan. I guess I will give that a try. I have gain a lot of weigth because of my terrible eating habits and the fact that the band needs to be checked and filled. But for the most part it is me eating the wrong stuff .... well, old habits die hard ... even with a band.

Ya'll take care, I will be back soon.

Irene

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

      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?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
