Recommended Posts

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.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
