  1. I go to the fill center in New Prague MN. It cost $350 the first time and $165 every time after. The only down side is that they don't offer fluroscopy, but I haven't had any problems there at all. Hope that helps!
  2. I know most are saying you are an inspiration and its true, take these words to heart. After looking at your results and reading your positive posts, I decided to get banded and am now on my second week of liquids after being banded on the 9th. You keep me motivated, so thank you from the bottom of my heart. Your hard work is really showing, you're already hot, 33 more pounds and you'll be a supermodel!!!! :lb21: Lisa
  3. Grace, Sorry you're feeling so crummy. I was feeling the same way for a couple of days and felt like I was napping all the time. I started creamy soups today and I feel SOOOOO much better. For the first time in 8 days I felt human again (and full!). Hang in there, any maybe try adding some soup, Man was not made to live on clear liquids (or drinkable yougurt for that matter!)! Good luck Lisa
  4. Someone told me that the bariatric center in Grinnell Iowa does fills for outside patients and they cost $150. I haven't called them yet to make sure, but if its true, I'll be going there.
  5. Wow, what a difference a month makes! You look awesome, way to go! =D>
  6. I'm at the OCC right now....had my band put in at 10:30 this morning....a little bit of pain at the port site....but they just gave me some meds for it. Am feeling good overall! I will get discharged tomorrow and be home on Saturday!!! The people here are soooo nice! Vicki
  7. Could you tell me the fill places in Minneapolis area? I saw the one that is through Fill Centers USA, just wondering if there are any more? I live in northern Iowa and work in Minnesota so it wouldn't be a bad drive for me. I'd love to go back to TJ, but I'm afraid with the flights it would get to spendy, not to mention time consuming. Thanks for any help you can give me!
  8. Oh my gosh, you've lost 20lbs!?! I feel like such a loser (but not in the good way)! I keep teetering back and forth. I'm so afraid of being turned away when I get there for pre ops on the 8th! Way to go, you're definitely already on your way to losing a lot! See you down there! Lisa~
  9. I, too, will be getting my lap band on the 9th. I'm so excited (and also a little scared!) I just keep thinking about how next year at this time I'll be feeling so much better and that keeps me positive! Lisa~
