Fill Last Week

Had a fill last week. 

I’ve lost about 4 pounds but it’s part of the same 5 pounds I keep losing over and over. 

But it’s the best fill I’ve had. 

For those who don’t know, I got a lap band in May of 2009.  I lost about 20 pounds, most of it during the surgical process.  The company that managed the surgery and after care has since gone out of business and there was a good reason. 

Their first fill tech was horrible.  She did it entirely by guess, and it’s a miracle she didn’t make more mistakes.  As it is, I went around with a band way too tight for a year.

They finally went with a surgeon who charged way too much for me, even on insurance, but got me straightened out, and finally was feeling better about things.

But still have been losing the same 5 pounds.

This time I went to a new place, who does the fills for $50.  Forrest Park Medical, and they were great.  They also do the fills under flouroscope, and are very quick and good.  I was able to follow their instructions through the whole post phase, and am doing well.

@LAFITNESS How You Don’t Treat Customers

Walked into the Forrest Lane store and was accosted by a personal trainer at the front desk.  Seems he was offended by my workout apparel.

Was wearing my typical t-shirt, skirt with gym shorts under.

Here’s my issue.  It was AT THE FRONT DESK IN FRONT OF OTHER PEOPLE!

He should have taken me aside.

By the way, I’ve worn this same outfit at three different locations.  I know technically it’s against the rules and I’m prepared to take the skirt off, which I did today.

By the way, he has been instructed not to ever speak to me again, and walk away from where I am at.

And he’s a freaking personal trainer.


Fill



Just got back from getting a small fill at a new place.

Quite busy and the people in the waiting room rolled their eyes when I told them where I got my surgery.

And of course there is a reason they are out of business.

This place charges $50 self lay, does it with fluroscope and on their schedule - in July they are not doing it on Wednesdays, but that's okay.
