Has anyone else attended Dr. Kaplan's seminar? I am scheduled for the seminar on 3/15 and curious if anyone else has went. I believe that they are just beginning to do banding in Parkersburg. Thanks.

Did you ever find out about the fills?

Did you ever find out about the fills?

I went in for my first fill and didn't get it because I was losing without it. Jeannie says it is billed like a visit, Lindsey told me the first 3-4 were included in the cost. I guess Lindsey was wrong. Doesn't do me any good to argue about it, I suppose. I have to have it, so I'm going to have to pay I guess. I go next Monday for one.

okie just wanna make sure. lol I hope you get a fill next week. That's what Jeannie told me too. You're doing awesome so far. :cool2:

Thanks. :thumbup: I'm going to insist on a fill this time. When I was on liquids and mushies I had no appetite because everything just kinda got gross after a while. Now that I'm back on regular food, I'm hungry!!!:cool2:

Well I hope you get your fill!!! Good luck! I go see Lindsey on friday :cool2: Sooo excited lol my birthday is thursday so to see another lower number on the scale would be AWESOME.

Good luck on Friday and Happy Early Birthday!!

thank you!!!! :thumbup:

Hi everyone. I was just thinking, since we're all right here in the Parkersburg area, we should plan a get together! It would be fun to get to know everyone and compare stories about what we're going through. What do you think?

We should do that sometime...lol but I'd like to be banded first so I feel more part of the group lol

By the way I was down another 2.5 lbs Friday.

A get together sounds fun! Even though I'm months away from surgery it'd be great motivation to see all you skinny, healthy people! So how do we find people? Any idea?

p.s. Amazing revelation from my food diary....know how many timbits are a serving? ONE! Holy cow! They're 34 calories a piece...I was shocked!

hehe I wish i was skinny I don't really even look like I've lost 23 lbs I don't think

maybe in my ankles and feet but that's it it seems to me lol

Hi guys! Just checking in here to get support. Hubby and I have started our 6-month diet, working with Lindsey. Wow...once you write things down it's pretty amazing how many calories there are in food. I found out that one timbit is a serving...I used to eat maybe 20 at a time! I'm lucky, the people I work with are super supportive! They're writing down their food too and almost everyone is using a pedometer and encouraging everyone to walk more.

I haven't done stellar the last 3 days. Haven't written down a thing. I hope I don't get flogged to bad! My 20 month old has strep throat and has just felt horrible. Fevered, crying, needy. I've eaten, but I honestly can't tell you what. She's finally on the mend and I'll be better!

I wish other people who see Dr. Kaplan would post here! We could form our own little community.
