  1. I will and thanks for the support. For those of you that may find yourselves in this situation. Always protect the baby first. Lap band will be here. Regina
  2. Hello All, I just found out that I am expecting a baby in December. My lap band is scheduled for this month. Should I go ahead with it or cancel. I know that once the band is in place you can have it adjusted for the pregnancy but I don't know about getting it while you are pregnant. Does anyone have any idea? :-? Thanks, GiBaby
  3. It looks like my plans maybe changing. I just found out that I am expecting! I have to say I have mixed emotions about it. But that will be my new bundle of joy. =D>
  4. I can understand exactly what you mean. I am trying to quit smoking and loose 11lbs prior to my date. I is not easy and is a very frustrating process. Hang in there and I will do the same. I think I will come back here and chat if things get too bad. GiBaby71
  5. Thanks you guys, you have really relaxed me about the tests. I was so worried about being a smoker and trying to quit that I was really working myself up. I don't know what I would do without this discussion board. GiBaby71
  6. I'm Regina and I see you are making progress with the preop. I haven't started yet. I tried but didn't make it. I am going to start again on Tuesday. GiBaby71
  7. I have the same fear. I smoke and I am going to stop on Tuesday. I hope I will be able to pass the lung test. I hate to go all the way down there and end up not getting banded because of my smoking habit. I will keep you posted on how it goes.
  8. My profile is almost like yours. I am 36 year old, 5'2" and 211 lbs. I am hoping to be down to 200lbs when my surgery date rolls around. My date is April 18th. Keep in touch we could become buddies across the internet! GiBaby
  9. Thanks Teri, It seems you are well versed on the fill subject. How is your son doing with his fills?
  10. That helped some, I guess I just won't know until I experience it. Thank you
  11. I found this doctor. His office is not in TN, he is in OH. Fills are done for "out of towners" the first saturday of the month. Here is his response and contact information: Regina, We do fills on lots of patients from Tennessee actually! We only do it on a self pay basis though. We charge $300 for the first adjustment which includes a fill and a nutrition eval by our banded registered dietitian Erin. Subsequent fills are $150 and also include a follow-up visit with Erin. You will need to make a commitment to 3-5 fills to achieve success. We see out of town patients for band adjustments on the first Saturday of each month from 1-4pm, so you can drive up that morning and get your fill. I went to med school in Nashville so I have driven it many times, it
  12. Go to My Controls at the top right of the screen. Click edit my signature. Type in what you want. If you want to add color or some other type font, highlight the text then choose the font, then choose the color and click save. Hope that helps. GiBaby71
  13. It actually does not take that long. Once you contact them and let them know you are interested they send you an information letter. If you still want to go ahead you contact Dr. Ortiez's office and let them know. They will then call you and tell you what you need to do. There is a pre-op diet involved and it depends on your current BMI when you start. You should contact them now and then go from there. I hope you join us as well. GiBaby71
  14. Hello All, Just wondering if any of you have used this website to find a fill doctor in your area and what your experience was like. I see that they will have a doctor coming to Duluth, Ga starting in April (one Saturday a month). I an concerned because we don't know how much experience these doctors may have. How do we check them out? http://www.fillcentersusa.com/locator/index.php Thanks, GiBaby71
  15. If anyone finds one in Nashville TN please let me know because that is where I live and that would help me out a lot.
  16. Hello All, I was just wondering if anyone knows of a doctor located in Nashville, TN that will do fills completed by Dr. Ortiez. I am willing to go back to TJ but if I could cut down on some of the cost that would be better. GiBaby71
  17. Are you asking for guidance on the lapband or the experience before or afterwords? GiBaby71
  18. Stockprincess, Haven't heard from you and I wanted to check to see how you are holding up. Weight loss is a very stressful factor in the lives of those that are trying, please remember that it takes time and that we are here to support you. GiBaby
  19. Since you provided the motivation I am now looking into an excercise routine that I can work into my scheldue. Great job and I know you will make it to your goal. GiBaby.
  20. Can I join your buddy group? My dates are 17-20 April as well. Gibaby
  21. That is mine as well. I hope we will have the opportunity to meet and form a support circle of our own. My name is Regina and I will see you there. GiBaby71
