Hello Im a 39yr old that is very interested in doing this lapband. However I know our ins. wont cover it and saw that Dr Simpson as financing on their web site. Has anyone used this? If so were you happy with it? My girl friend back in my home town came to AZ just to go to Dr Simpson and she said she LOVED him and would recomend him to anyone that was thinking about doing this.    --

Hi all - turns out we can't get a classroom after all because it's Holy Week. Oh well - maybe another time. Don't see a lot of people in here, so maybe this is not the best forum to use for things such as this. Hope you are all doing well in any case.    --

Hi Everyone - it's been a while since I've been here at this forum. I've been doing great- have lost 154 lbs. so far. April 22nd will be my two year anniversary since my lapband. I can't even begin to tell you how much my life has improved - it's like a miracle in my life. I wanted to let you all know that I'm going to be in town for a "wee fill" as Doc puts it on Monday, March 29th. My sister, her daughter and a few others wanted me to teach a Kundalini Yoga class and I thought perhaps there might be some of you who would like an introduction to Kundalini Yoga. For more information about this yoga and what I do, you can go to my website, www.wisdomoflifetherapies.vpweb.com If indeed there is interest in people taking a beginner's class - learning some tools for stress relief, exercise, meditation and stretching - my sister can get us a classroom at St. Pat's in Scottsdale. Please let me know as soon as you can if any of you are interested in this. My email address is aldenella@msn.com and that would be the best way to let me know. You can also call me at 505-898-6866. Normally I charge $12 for an 1-1/2 class. I would be willing to do this class for friends and patients of Doc Simpson's by donation only. Pay what you can afford. This yoga is very spiritual, full of great exercise and breathing techniques and has truly been the "band for my brain" that we often talk about. I would love to share it with you. Blessings to all - Joann    --

Photo of    Hey Debra- Yes my slip did fix itself and you would have thought I would have learned cause at the time I was so so thankful, but old habits and bad additions is a hard fight for me. I'll be going to see Doc on the 12th and its not going to be good, cause I've gained alot of weight. When I was on liquids, I did my liquid vitamins, chicken broth and protein drink and YES water! Amazing how we can do it when we're told, but yet when left alone.....I'll keep you posted-Candi    --

Photo of    Well seen Dr. S. on January 28th he unfilled me and sent me for a upper GI and my esophagus is dilated so I’m on liquids for two weeks, then on soft foods, then I’m to start measuring my food and eating the protein and veggies again and making the right chooses. But then yesterday I found out I’m not doing the liquids right so I’m going to start over on that. What I was doing wrong was Making my own soups and putting things in the blender. But that’s ok I do want to do this right I still have a lot of weight to lose. And I’ve gained 3.5#s don’t like that much. Coral said to drink more water so that what I’m going to do that’s one thing I can do now that I’m unfilled is drink which is nice. I did have something weird happen the night after getting unfilled I had bad pains in my chest and back between my shoulder blades I even through up dry heves. Dr. S sent me for a altar sound thinking it maybe my Gallbladder but everything was fine (very good news) CANDI, what did you eat while on the liquids? Have you gone back to Dr. S yet just wondering if the slip fixed it self or will you have to do surgery or something else. I stayed and went to meeting, that was very nice seeing you BONNIE your looking real good, I will try and look you up on facebook and you do the same ok my e-mail is montesdj@yahoo.com. And LORI sorry didn’t get to talk much to you, maybe next time. Keep posting and take care everyone. I can see pictures of people but no names so thank for putting yours at the end.

I can still see pictures but no name lol    --

Photo of    Well, since we can't see names or photo's anymore, I think that we need to get in the habit of putting our names as the last part of our post. I would sure love to answer the last post, but I do not know who it is. If you want to chat, you can find me on facebook and either send me a message or request me as your friend. You can also email me, which that is on facebook or repost and I will give it to you. If there is anything I can do to help, you sound frustrated, please contact me. We are still here for each other, just not as vocal. Best to all of you. God Bless - Bonnie Croteau.....    --

Photo of    I'm still here and still gaining weight..What has happened to our board, no names, no pictures. PLEASE someone see what they can do to correct this! Alot of us use this board as a means of support and I feel like we're all loosing that support connection! DEBRA - how did you make out? BONNIE- how the heck are you? I am doing just OK, my eating habit have returned to BAD and I just don't know how to get them back on track, what a mental battle this fight is, but I sure do appreciate you all! Candi Did Doc's office ever set up the FACEBOOK?    --

Photo of    I’ll try to go to meeting. My son in-law is in the hospital in Scottsdale and my daughter will be with me. He had surgery yesterday and we didn’t get home until 12:30am so hopefully she wouldn’t mind another late night, and then the weather. But I sure will try it will be great to see you and I hope others I have meet in the pass meeting and office visits would be there also. I think a lot about you all and wonder how everyone is doing.

Hi to everyone. Hope everyone is doing ok after the storms this last week. Hi Lori happy to see your still posting and Bonnie. Candi have you been back to Dr. S how is everything going. I'm going to call his office today to see about getting an appt. I don't think I can handle anymore with the throwing up and so concerned about it mostly at night, scary. Oh yes and why is it that names don’t show up and we also used to be able to click on names and or pictures and see a profile. Really did like that, could see before and after pictures and read about that person. What happened? Debra Montes     --
