What should I expect to pay to get a fill?

If you want it bad enough and are willing to make the changes necessary to live a better, more fullfilling life then find a way..I up'ed for a larger balance on my CC, and I will just pay some every month for itl..(Granted the interest rate is low low)...Find a way.

Kim

Kim

I just wanna know if there is anyone out in band land that knowing what you know now, would you have NOT had your band placed.? And why?

Flower child--

I will be at the OCC on the 11th to get banded...10th for pre op stuff...Maybe we will meet. I hope all goes well, have fun in SanDiego.

Well I haven't met the guy yet, but I to wanted something other than paying 20k..tHERE WAS NO WAY...So with a little investigation I found OCC...So far I have heard nothing but greatness from others that have been to Dr. Ortiz.

Kim

Ok makes sense thanks, at least I will have an idea what I am getting into.

Kim

Help the newbie out

Kim

Just a little FYI--Watch your liver function tests.. Gallbladder and liver and connected and your liver can get mad from a lower acting gallbladder. Just- in-case-issue...

Kim

SWEET! Thanks for sharing

Kim

I don't have my band yet, but if its uncomfortable I would at least have it looked at...From what I know the band is just a device to help us loose the weight, its not a guarantee. We still have to work at it, which I am sure you are more than aware of. If you were me, I would get the band checked, get a fill, recommitt to using the band as a aid to loose the weight. And get skinnyagain!

I will be having surgery 2-11-09, I arrive at 12 something. and depart 2-13 12:50ish..So ya maybe will will meet!

Thanks Babe for the advice. I also find that cold water doesn't sit well with me. I have also found a cup of decaf tea sooths he hunger pangs well. To day is day three and I feel alittle light headed, so I think I will head your advice and find a protein shake with some more protein.

Thanks again

Kim

This post has gone dead, but I am in for a get together any ol where.

Kim

Hello felow bansters, I arrive 2-10 and scheduled to get banded 2-11...This pre op diet is making me soo flipping hungry. Any hints to survival.

I will be flying in on the 11th for my second fill. Hope to see you there.

Sweet! I wasn't thinking of this trip as a vacation, but with all the positives I hear it just might be just that!

Hi Skinnyagain,

I will be there with you same date. I am flying in all the way from Africa!!! It will take me 5 planes to get there. Talk about dedication. I am sure that we will meet and all will go well. See you soon....by the way, I am a born and raised Californian. I am working in Africa at an Orthopedic Childrens hospital. So don't be looking for someone who looks like they are straight out of the Ngoni tribe. Look for an extremely jet lagged 5'3 brunette!

Blessings
