Sometimes some people don't have a choice, The place I'm going to wants to charge 300 Xtra for fluoro plus the 175 for the adjustment................ I think I got it covered since I plan on going back & forth to OCC in between being filled with out fluoro... But I would tink it's important to to have Fluoro

Yup that's what I'm talkin about too, Between my husband my 18yrs & soon to be 16 yrs old son Someone will split something with me Side bar- I'd like to kill my husband he brought home a case of Pepperidge farm Milano's along with Choc. Chunk Macadamia... It's really so bad! Some one gave them to him there's just so many!

Oh And I find that people do take the other half specially woman,

I Just give the other half to my husband, son or the dog uner the table........... LOL But really I just would cut it in half and leave the other half there.... And I've been called worse things and talked about behind my back (I'm Sure of) had rolling eyes before, that I really care less... I don't see the big deal in cutting a hot dog or cheese burger in half and leaving the other half for someone else. It most likely will go I don't like waasting food, But I do waste a ton, I try to give it to the cleaning lady, We rarely eat left overs

I don’t do the Vit, I forget. I’m trying hard to remember the fiber and kinda get it in @ lest once a day, and I did start back with that chromium I didn’t realize I should use it after being band- I thought it was just for before

I use EAS Myoplex Lite Chocolate Cream........... It's like 180 Cals, 20gr. of protein I blend it with crushed ice - I like the shakes thick- I find it holds me longer........ I start the day with it...... I had the powder one and it's thick! I make it with skim milk for the morning But if I was to use it @ lunch time I'd use the water... It's something mental with me in the mornign using milk... But I'd use ready made, It doesn't matter which one to me. I like whatever one is on sale

Everyone is different And I'm NOT a good example - But in hopes to make you feel a bit better I'll share- I'm a lover of Coke Gosh I even Love Vanilla Coke and a guzzler. I haven't had soda & won't either. BUT it has taken me Thus far to accept Not being able to drink while eating. What I was doing( AND I'm not saying to do it) But I was taking an ice cube and chomping on it after a meal... But now I've passed that point... So what I'm trying to say is Don't be so hard on your self And little by little you make adjustments, It's a learning experience and it will all fall into place PS I have NO problem eating anything However I don’t want to hurt myself either, I can’t wait for June 29th I go for my first fill -

I find there are more places that don't do fluoroscope then Do .. I plan on bouncing back & forth to OCC so I don't mind trying a No Fluoro for the second fill once I know what the first fill by OCC is suppose to be like , And if I don't like it I never have to go back there again.... I have to bring all my paper work & the x rays in order for the Long Island Clinic to do it- it's $350 for the consult - met with their dietician & the adjustment for the first time, Then it's $175 for the adjustment & meeting with the dietician there after, You always sit with the dietician at this place, I don't know if that it’s standard with all the other places and, then if Ya just want an appt. with the dietician it's 80 bucks.......... If I could get the flight for $230- 275 I have no problem going back to OCC.... It's my little get away, plus I plan on stopping off at cosmed for a little filler or some other adjustment while I hit OCC - It’s killing 2 birds with one stone

He he he - I love that excuse.... But the deal is i'm going back for the first fill then for my second I'm gonna do it here on Long Island, Which you could look in the Fills section - then under NY... I'm a one finger typer and it takes too long to retype.........

I sure hope One would have researched that out before they got band

So I have to ask... If one hasn't had a fill yet do we have a pouch? I think it's not really a pouch yet? Not sure? I'm mixed up

He he he - I Think so too......... thanks

OMG! I'm sitting here trying to stall lunch - unsure when I should eat it

Here's MY story- For about a year I had this numbness under my left breast I had ultra sound done & chest x-rays to see what was going on, They found nothing. It wasn’t that bad so I just paid No attention to it cause all my blood work came back fine too. This Feb the numbness was still there Only stronger. Again Back to the doctor once again blood work fine, Chest x ray fine, mammogram - Fine, 2 nerve test, Nothing, 2 MRI’s - nothing - Knowing I was going to be band & knowing that nothing could be found wrong with me I said to hell with it again - And just let it go... I get to Dr. O - I go under as I wake up - I’m told I had a HH and Dr.O fixed it before he Band me............. I have NOT had any numbness what so ever & have NOT taken any Anti-acid.

It will pay off totally! I wish I could go backwards and do it all over.... I loved every minute of it... Never missing a baseball game, fottball game, Play, teacher parents night, Staying home on cold days being couch potato's under the covers watching the same movie 100x's.............. It's the best

Please get me the doctors name. I won't have all this work doen yet for months. I need to lose the weight... But Yeah I want the doctors name. OMG! I just slimed but I couldn't wait for what was stuck to come up oir go down fast enough, Mine went down... But I was sore the day after, And I just hurt myslef..... I ate tuna too... tonight I had a pork chop, very small bits & it was thin, with peppers & onions, it worked fine!

I feel you need to protect your mom, And No one should get away with hurting her! You needed/need to put this matter in the hands of the law. Laws are put in place for the Lawless!

Thanks! I think starting off with a high protein shake is a lot better, I had half a sandwich on whole grain bread and a 1/4 of a protein bar so far today and feel full, I also have to drink more! Before being band, I drank while I ate, I'm not doing that now - but I want to drink so bad after.... I'm holding out but it's hard & It will take time to adjust. So I'm just not drinking enough through the day- I think that makes a differences too

Yup! me too. it's so great there I can't see why anyone would want to leave. Even tho I felt good coming out. That night I was walking the halls and needed chicken broth & Ya know what The nurse was there to help me Thank God, It was just a relief, Plus you paid for it! Oh well I like be pampered, taking care of..... Lea - Glad that you were able to see what we all been telling you, And No one steered you wrong. OCC is awesome, Hope all goes well & Good Luck with your weight loss

Hey Tra - Glad to hear from you... I'm gonna start riding my bike in the morning... Just hope for some niced weather. It's been so crappy here. I really can't wait to get back to OCC I'm staying @ Lucerna this time since I'm by myself and have an appt. with Cosmed, But I booked a consult with another PS since I'm staying till the July 1st 10 pm and taking the red eye home, I wanted to stay a day after the fill JUST in Case- of something, rather be safe then sorry, plus I don't have to rush home for anything. I'm kinda liking my little get aways... LOL I also have another consult with PS - they gave me a price of 7,000 for Tummy tuck, Liposuction and breast lift with augmentation surgery and lower blefaroplasty, plus 5 day after care... And that's including tranportation to & from SAN.......... Cosmed wants 1250 for the lower eyes & 2800 for the lift - NO after & no implants.... we shall see,

The gas totally sucked for me. I was band on the May 20th, and find I still get gas pockets from time to time. Or a sharp gas pain... I won't even begin to tell you how hungry I have been the past 2 days...

WOW that's so funny cause this morning I drank a protein shake with 28grms took a Chromium pill too, And feel better then yesterday.... Did less eating... Still could do better but MUCH better then yesterday, It was so bad.... I was so hungry. But I think starting out the day with a higher amount of protein helped, I did e-mail OCC - But the weekend is here and they haven't gotten back to me, thanks for responding

I'll be back @ Cosmed on the 29th. Then I need to save some cash plus lose a good amount of weight so I can do lipo & boobs But I don't see that coming till Sept, Oct. Do you know the link of this 5 day diet?
