CanadianBandster

I would just check with the doc about taking them apart...I couldnt swallow that if my life depended on it - I would pb. Even my medium BP pills I have to cut up...sorry :S [ quote name=Lindsay' date='Apr 4 2009, 04:17 PM' post='67981] heck yes! I didn't want to skip any dosages, for obvious reasons on both fronts I haven't had any obvious issues, but my band hasn't been tightened yet - I'm getting my first adjustment on the 21st of April. Small pills, like the Effexor aren't the med's you need to be concerned about getting blocked. I think it's more of those huge monster multi vit's that look like horse pills. But, I was told I wouldn't have any issues, based on the medications I asked about -- Maybe take one BIG pill in the morn, one in the eve? That might break the time frames up enough to prevent any errr ... upcoming surprises And even so, blockages usually pass rather quickly, so even if it did get stuck, it usually makes it way back down within a few seconds

okay once upon a time long before bandster land I was very in shape - still chunky but I could go go go, I just ate too much. Anyways - I could giver on the eliptical. I could have easily gone that long, but my stupid ass gym MAKES you get off after half an hour for 15 min to let others have a chance...anyways - I would have loved to have gone that long....altough I too worked myself up to that! Now - I can only do 20 min and Im almost dying.

I still get port pain and Im 3 months post - op. Trust me it does get better!! I promise promise promise - hand in there and before you know it you wont have these regrets!

well not in a month, in 2 months...oops I meant I had my body fat checked last month. It should be a little lower now cuz Im down about 8 lbs more since then

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO That is the best feeling! way to go!

thats awesome! I too went from about 40 to 30 last month...feels good hey! you are doing awesome!

lol - we could just buy a place there and it would be cheaper we go so often!

its the only thing that got me throw it - I was banded THREE days before xmas!!!!! Yah - howd u not have to do a diet after???

My doctor just called, apparantely I am low on iron - so we are working on correcting the problem...hopefully it helps! I dont ever want to be anemic again as that was exhausting and my life now - I wouldnt be able to keep up! Plus I was my PS in MAY!

yah but at the time I didnt care. I wanted it so bad. I actually paid it off in less than six months so it was all good. I just didnt want to put this on my credit card - the interest is higher and I dont want to have it racked up just in case.

honestly when I had a hard time I had to chew and spit or I wouldnt have made it. I actually find going on liquids after my fills is way my difficult than the 21 days.

You are giong to hate thi answer....but honestly I dont know yet. I am still figuring it out. When Im eating I have to stop a lot and figure out if I am still hungry. I have only felt really full twice - and it actually scared me cuz I was afraid I overate. If Im not hungry - that is my cue to stop and it feels so much better. I just wish it wasnt so hard! I also need a fill - so I have to be really careful!

no problems and I have gone there every 6 weeks, and I am going back again next week and again in May....Im not worried - my friend lives there, michellefromtj on this board...shed tell me if I shouldnt go

it depends on your credit. I had a loan with credit medical for my tt years ago - I looked at the rate and it was 23%...but now that I am established and have had perfect credit for over 7 years, this time my interest is 6%

okay - I hate needles big time. Dr.A put this numbing cream on cuz I dont care what anyone says it did hurt to get the needle - BUT not like I thought it would - and it was really quick. PLUS he is awesome at putting you at ease! You will worry no matter what, just know its not as bad as u think and its over quick and well well worth it!

Congratulations - you will be amazed at how much a tt does to ones confidence! It is amazing! Keep us posted!

congratulations! Are you getting banded at the OCC?

update - went to doctor...said everything is normal. Did blood work etc - just waiting for that. She said that my body just has to play catch up and to keep doign what I am doing...phew! She even said I would be go to go for PS in May

I wasnt sure if I should go to cosmed or stay closer to home. Well - I spoke to 12 clinics this morning from my province. All but one wouldnt even see me for a consult for 3-6 months and were all over $9000. The cheapest place was the 12th, they had one opening in may and then not another until I think she said august (getting my stuff mixed up, spoke to too many!)...and they were 8300!!!! (all canadian dollars) Cosmed said their flat rate for breast augmentation is $3600 US...so as of today that is $4500 canadian...um where do u think I am gonna go...jeez! Ill suck up th plane rides! I can stay at my friends how there - or I might just stay at real del rio and get a nurse...its still a hell of a lot cheaper! Also - I like their before and after pics...I like that the after dont have a huge space between like a lot of others I have looked into. So anyway...guess I am going to cosmed in may for surgery! I also spoke to my finance company medicard and they have no problems financing it there.

I have a consult at cosmed on the 13th....they didnt say anything about it costing anything, but it sounds like people are getting charged for it...did anyone have tpay??? for my consult when I had my tt here in canada the consult is free

damn! Wish I woulda known about the direct flight before I booked mine! My trip is almost $700 from edmonton next thursday grrr

through canadian place...medicard, well credit medical did too. fraxel is laser reserfacing on your face to get rid of fine lines and brown spots ect...I hate my freckles and want them gone gone gone

I get new boobies! sorry - I am wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy too excited! My financing is up to $10 000 for anything...so boobs, lipo and fraxel resurfacing here I come!

YAY - I got approved so now with my consult at cosmed in april I am good to go! New boobs in May for me!

glad all is well! Feels good to go back there for your fills though hey! You are doing awesome by the way! so - when is your mom going for surgery?
