Mind-blowing weight loss
RNY on 05/21/19
Shoot- if you were sending out money, a fill would be close to the bottom of the priority list with all we have going on. But I appreciate the thought.
This is nothing new that just about every bandster doesn't question at one time or another. The on going fills are an expensive portion of the band if your insurance doesn't cover them.
These are certainly things to take into consideration when going under the knife. I have always been able to squeek out the $200 to have mine done, but right now is just not a good time. I'm saving my pennies for a home inspection at the end of the week YEEHAW!!!

For the same reason that supermarkets put healthy foods on the very top shelf where shorties like me can't reach them.

I'm not near goal weight yet but I understand what your saying Gosh I feel so vain but I wanted to run around Lane Bryant holding up a pair of 26 jeans and say I used to wear this SIZE.. LOL .. (I was there this weekend buying bra and a few t-shirts for the gym I had a coupon can't let those go to waste)
When I picked up my before pants they were so heavy .. i'm still amazed at times at the transformation.
Two weeks ago I went out with some friends and I ended up staying the night and the next day they wanted to go have lunch and hang out. I had no extra clothes with me.. so I ran quickly to Ross to buy a "whatever' out.. I picked up capris, shirt, undies (lol) and a pair of cute shoes $45 dollars.. moral of the story is when I was 26/28 I couldn't go to just any store to buy clothes and most of the time the clothes at Ross ran too small I had to go to the Avenue or Lane Bryant to find something that fit..
