I'm in Springfield

I'm not banded. Just enjoy monitoring the site. Not sure that I'll have it done. My insurance doesn't cover the band and I'm not sure I've hit the last straw to make me to go out of pocket.

I really did think there would be more of us in the Champaign area. Oh well, guess we'll have to be each others cheerleaders. Haven't lost anymore weight since my March 29th fill. Still can eat a horse. I go again on April 17th for a fill with Dr. Tull this time. Dr. Rohrscheib is on vacation so I won't see him for awhile.

I canceled my trip to Mexico for my first fill. I will be going to Dr.Rohrscheib on May 3rd instead. I'm a little unsettled about him doing the fill without fluo.
I keep telling my self , other people have fills done all the time without fluo so it will be fine. I'm just a worry wort.

Alton Area

Hi All,
I am in the Alton area, well actually 45 mins north but close enough. Im heading to Mexico on the 16th for my first fill. So, Dr. Tull does fills for Mexico bandsters? Do you know how much he charges? Would love to go some place closer for my future fills. Any info would be great.

update

I had my fill yesterday . 2 cc now also he said I was doing good . Did you like Dr.Tull ? I really like him . My scales said I was down to 214 this morning . So I feel fine that I have lost from 249 1/2.
You keep up you will do fine .
I did enjoy chatting at lunch with people who have the surgery done and can ask and talk about how things are going :clap2:

That's a lot of weight loss, Jennie! You should be very proud of that. How much fill do you have total now? Just curious. I liked Dr. Tull very much. He is a right to the point kind of guy just like Dr. Rohrschieb. Hope I see the scales move again soon!
