    That's a great first fill! I have had two fills and still have less than that. Anyway, I think 10 lbs in 4 weeks is a perfectly good goal! You can do it!

    I never had a problem with my underwire bras. I hate sports bras too so I am glad! LOL
  3. Kim2BSlim
    Yeah I'm not gonna make the 4th of July goal either! It sucks too.
  4. Kim2BSlim
    Yes, it sucks! Hopefully you will get some restriction with your first fill.
  5. Kim2BSlim
    Sounds yummmmmy!

    Okay I am thinking Roswell and the OCC may be too expensive for me right now so I have called Trina's Doc in New Orleans and he is gonna call me back to see if he can help me get some retsriction. I am hopeful that maybe he can at least get me to 2cc so I can at least tell I have a lap-band! I hate to sound ungrateful about my regular fill doc, but it sucks when I see all of you with such great fills and I have to starve. LOL

    How do ya'll get cheap flights to San Diego? It is always at least $500 round trip when I check and then with the $200 they charge it would run me $700 to go back to the OCC.

    I lost 11.5 lbs in 2 months...but I have been hungry the whole time. That's not much to me! Once I started tolerating solids, the restriction ended except when I eat bread.

    I can see where small fills may be better for you, but they absolutely frustrate me! I didn't pay 8K for weight loss surgery and $1500 for fills to wait 8 months to get a total of 2cc in my band. I could see if I wasn't tolerating solids, but I am.

    It sounds like you had a wonderful appt! =D> By the way, I have been missing you around here!

    I know some of you just went, so I was wondering how much it costs total to have a fill there under fluoroscopy? I would be flying to the one in Roswell.
  12. Kim2BSlim
    He said it's normal for some of it to dissolve.
  13. Kim2BSlim
    Yes, I PB until everything comes up. I have t because I can't handle that stuck feeling.

    I am a little peeved. Okay so I got 1cc the first fill and when I went today I had .7 of that left and he gave me .6. So now after a total of two fills I have 1.3cc total. He also told me from now on I will only get .25 every two months so that means it will take me 8 months (minus what dissolves) to get another 1 whole cc? Am I overreacting or is this normal? I have already paid $1500 for a year's worth of fills and I am tempted to go to someone else.

    Mine took several weeks to feel normal again. I couldn't sleep on my stomach or side for over a month. It will get better! I remember when mine was so sore I was freaking out about getting a fill and having a needle stuck in that painful spot! Mine was completely healed by my first fill.
  16. Kim2BSlim
    I was very swollen from the surgery, the trip, and just the whole experience. Once I got home and got back into my routine my body started getting back to normal and the weight started falling off.

    Erin you are so funny! We sat on our balcony at the Lucerna and watched the crazy traffic for hours! We never saw a wreck either, which is amazing! They have no rules about traffic..just GO..GO..GO!!!!!!!!!!

    I have the weight watchers glass scales. They are very accurate to my Dr's scales. I bought them at Lowes.
  19. Kim2BSlim
    LMAO! I remember hearing that about fast food when I was a child, but I was told it was all a big lie!
  20. Kim2BSlim
    Since I started solids, I haven't been able to eat bread.
  21. Kim2BSlim
    We ate in the restaurant at the Lucerna. It was okay, but we are used to the local Mexican restuarants like Coco Loco, and their food is totally different! The chips and salsa were horrible and the food tasted weird. I did have 3 regular cokes though and they were heavenly! LOL I knew I would never drink them again and I wanted them more than food!
  22. Kim2BSlim
    Last night I had one bite..yes one bite, of a Subway sandwich. Ya'll know I can't eat bread, but I have moments of insanity when I think I want to try. Pre-Band I lived on carbs and cheese. I am not much of a meat eater. Anyway, how can you eat one bite and PB for like 30 mins? It takes forever to get it all up. I cannot stand that stuck feeling and I have to get it up or I feel like I am gonna die. Do ya'll get that same feeling?
  23. Kim2BSlim
    Oh yes, we tipped him too! There was 4 of us and we gave him $10. It is such a blur now. Don't panic if he is not at the airport when you get there. He makes like 20 trips a day and sometimes he gets held up in traffic. We waited about 15 mins for him after we landed. Are you being banded the same day as your pre-ops? We did it in two days.

    Cathy~ In a way I am relieved too. McDonalds is the main reason I am overweight. It is too good and too easy. Now that I can't eat it I just get a bottled water when I pick my kids up a Happy Meal. It makes my inner fat girl a little insane, but I know that I can't eat it without getting sick and that makes all the difference in the world.
  25. Kim2BSlim
    The only people we tipped were the bellboys at the Hotel. They carried all our luggage and then brought us a huge basket of fresh fruit. I tipped them $5 apiece (there were two of them) and they loved us after that! LOL I guess $5 is alot of money over there. Our trip was very rushed with the surgery and all so we didn't get a chance to do much sightseeing except for Revolution Ave, which we LOVED. The men will love you over there, fat or not! They loved me! Hahahah
