I am really torn between going to TJ by myself, and just driving down the hiway and getting a fill. I would be home the same day, but if I go to OCC then I will spend the night in San Diego and fly home the next day. Its not that big of a deal for me to travel, I just want to know, from those who have done it one way and wished they had done it another...I want your feedback. I do have an appt with OCC on the 26th for my first fill, but there are others that I will be using closer to home, so why shouldn't I get filled here in Wa? Let me have it Kim

Add me into the Kimberly clan...

Big pat on the back...

me at occ

Silver-- i will be staying in San Diego over night..E-mail me kcarter_RN@yahoo.com Maybe we can hook up later on the 26th??? Kim

Yep I can palpate it no problem Kim

yep I will be there too 26th. Kim

Having your hip replaced is very hard on your body, BUT I know they have you up and walking within 12 or so hours with PT? correct and home soon after...If you are not moving and cont to be seditary then I would say time to get off the couch and MOVE that B O D Y that god gave with your your new hip... Maybe get a fill, walk, write everything down. Back to basics that someone said in a earlier post. And of course get a checkup! Kim

I was there last month and no problems at all, I will be traveling alone back to TJ to get my fill 3-26-09...So its all good... they have to print that stuff so that you are an aware traveler. I am going no matter what. Kim

If you are comfortable having someone in your life that you are getting naked with don't you think before you have sex they, you and that person should already know a bit about one another. If it was me, and I was getting down and dirty with someone and my port showed, I would just say hey here it is. love all of me, or get the heck out if you don't.. Kim

So this question goes out to those that have lost all or most of your weight. I want to know what you eat? Breakfast lunch and dinner? How many cals etc. So that we all can compare and see how we can tweek our menu's, exercise etc! Kim

Sonogirl-- I will be at OCC two days later. I think we had our band placed around the same time....2-10-09..? I am hangin between 9-10 lbs and the scale hasn't moved hardly... I am a bit frusterated that I am not looseing more, I am definatly NOT hungry which I love...I just want to be skinnyagain! Kim

Thanks...I do take those oh so yummy fiber pills or chewie fiber things, which give me gas so I take them at night. Definetly need to increase the movement of the ol body. I get frusterated when I see so many people that have dropped so much weight before there first fill. Oh no not me, that is why I got this band to begin with because I have such a hard time loosing weight. So my plan is 1-exercise 2- add the veggies and write everything down... 3 make sure that I am getting 1200 cals, which I don't think I have. I will report back in one week and let you all know if that has made any difference. So what do you all eat? what is your menu plan? Kim

Hello all you wonderful people. Here I am 3 weeks out from my lapband and I have not lost hardly at all. I was 167.5 i think at day of band and today I am 165.4...Whats up with that....? Three weeks of liquids and feeling deprived and nothing....I suppose I could get off my butt more and exercise....Yes that is next on my list to tackle. But what my questions is What the heck is up with this stail weight loss. I feel like I am not eating much any more and I don't feel deprived, here was yesterdays meal. Coffee x2 (sustance to life) Protein shake (I hate breakfast) Chicken bake, 1/3 of it.. chicken bake another 1/3 of it and the other 1/3 is still in my lunch box that I take to work 32ox water tea this is from 11am to 12 midnight.. I work 12's... Is that so bad...I know there is no veggies I do need to work on that. Some one kick my butt, or something what do you all think? ( Kim

Soo I was hungry and thought oh no big deal, have a piece of toast with PB on it. So I did and ate it pretty fast not thinking anything about it...Then whammo, I got hot, thought I needed to throw up, there was PAIN in my esphagous, and the amount of crap that my body produced, I just slimmed into the sink until it went down...So NO bread for me.. that really sucked and I don't want to do it again.. Kim

Robbyn-- Why do we do this to ourselves. I do the same thing. I have clothes from size 4 to 14. I think about these one pair of little short shorts that I have had tacted to my wall for um a few years knowing that someday I will fit into them. I am sooo sorry for your loss.... I am not sorry that your dress is to big....There are so many deep seated issues that we all have with food and weight..I am glad we have each other for that. Kim

I will give my boobs to anyone who wants them as I loose them. I don't care if they shrink...I HOPE they shrink. So anyone is needs some boobs I will send them fedex to ya...LOL Kim

For me it was two weeks. Made the call, started the diet, and BOOM there I was. In and out and home. Kim

Drink drink drink drink drink did I say drink....Or go to your er and get a line of NS.... Kim

I had implants placed about a month ago. I was lucky and my insurance paid the whole thing. 2900 for two. This does not include the "tooth" to go on top of the implant. So far so good. I made sure I took out anough money on my FSA so that it will be paid with before tax money. PS I didn't get a warm fuzzy from the dentist at the OCC. Personal oppinion. Kim

had a great time with those getting fills and those getting banded. Met MalCal and I think a trip to Africa may come your way....LOL I have just started to burp...And I get so excited when I fart....because the gas is coming out somewhere.... My port site is a bit sore...but nothing I can live with. Thanks for everything. Kim

Hello everyone, I just got my band a few hours ago. I arrived in San Diego, and the driver was right there...Took us to OCC, and whammo with in one hour I will having my surgery. I only have pain at the port site..Nothing that I can't handle. Hurts a bit getting up and out of bed... OCC is very nice, and you do get taken care of well. I feel like I should be able to burp but its just not happening. Thank you everyone on this board for word of encouragement....They really do help.... Kim I would definatly do it again. Kim

Actually that is me Kim on the above post, MalCal was logged in...OOOPS Kim
