I usually have Dr. R give me the fills b/c he's awesome. The PA is really nice to me and supportive, but she stuck me wrong one time and I'm a bit of a shot weenie. So if Dr. R is there, I have him do it. Plus a bit of me is saying hmmm I pay $70 a fill so he can do it! lol

I'm just about at my sweet spot, if not there right now. So I won't go back for at least 2 months.

I get my fills standing up? What do you do?

I believe the reason I haven't lost faster is b/c of me. I'm struggling right now with what to eat for lunch and such? I'm getting bored, so I tend to not be good all the time. Bad Lori!

Did you know he partnered with Dr. Baker (plastic surgeon) and are opening an office in Champaign. I think it's cool. Cause if I ever lose enough to need plastic surgery I'd go to Dr. Baker. :thumbup:

I have never had a problem with my fills and her. I don’t blame you for having him do them! Plus he is cute! LOL I was private pay so I don't have to pay for a year of fills and I think I am where I want to stay at 9cc's, I keep debating if I should go back for one more check before my year in August.

I do my fills lying down. I am still real numb around my port so it just feels weird not really a hurt just strange.

I have not heard about him teaming up with Dr. Baker! I too will need some plastic surgery after I get all my weight off! My arms and stomach are already bad!

I too struggle with what to eat. I had not lost anything for a month and just kept snacking on my kid’s leftovers and not watching what I ate! I have found that chips go down easy and had a bad habit of eating chips and dip for lunch! NOT A GOOD IDEA! LOL Yep, my slow weight loss is just my bad habits! I just wish there was a support group close! I make that comment every time I go in!

Hey team! I'm freshly banded and living in Charleston. I know this is an old forum but I'm hoping some newer people from the area will see it. :)

I would love to start a local support group for the Mattoon/charleston area for weight loss patients. I just have not found that many people who are in our area. I was banded on june 17th of 2010. Best decision I ever made. I have lost 168 lbs to date. I have 30lbs to go till my goal weight. Let me know if you would like to work together and get a support group up an running. Just message me here and I will get it.

      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! 😞
