Topic: RE: Reaching Out "old" Lap Bander

Hi!

When I need to get back on the wagon I go back and do research, try to remember what you did like and make a plan! Plan all your food for the whole week on Sunday (that is when I have time), and make sure to plan some activities for the time of the day you know you will be looking for a snack for no good reason!

Once the research and plan is done take it day by day. If I get overly consumed with having to deal with my eating plan all week I go crazy! So I just try to stick to the present even meal by meal....

Good luck!

Mell

Topic: Reaching Out "old" Lap Bander

Been MIA for quite awhile. Have gained about

75 pounds of 100 lost. Still interested in trying.

Any suggestions?

Topic: RE: obera balloon outcomes / experience if you also have lap band?

When I saw the ads for those on Facebook, I thought the procedure was not allowed if you have had any prior WLS. I thought it would be a great idea but didn't pursue it because I also have an empty band.

I'm getting my band removed Friday. Do you wish you had taken more time off ? Have things leveled out with pain now?

How long were you off work after the removal?

After one day of liquids, the next day you should feel a difference.

I don't understand why you don't have some sort of insurance. Both you and your husband are disabled, but can't get insurance?

You should be able to get some sort of state assistance if what you are saying is true.

Topic: obera balloon outcomes / experience if you also have lap band?

I have a lap band with no fluid in it. I have not gained all the weight back lost but probably half of it. Has anyone with lap band had the obera balloon placed? if so what have been your results?

Thanks

And why didn't the Dr. try a smaller fill? He didn't have to put in a full 3 ml.

Why haven't you applied for Medicaid?
