Don't be scared, fills are easy!!

Nope, no swimming after surgery. Just relaxing. Yes, I believe there is spellcheck. Upper right the checkmark with the abc in it.

AWWWWWW good for you! I am so happy for you, you really deserve it. And truth be told, I am waiting or the day my closet is empty too!!!! I too, will be crying. Hope everything fits!! And hopefully, my sister Caron, will be able to fit your old clothes!! I wish she could afford to get lap band too, like me and my other sister (Merideth). She is heavy too and has diabetes but is very poor and has no insurance. She is terrified to be put to sleep and refuses to fly on an airplane so I don't think a lap band will ever be in her future, but I wish it could. Anyway, glad you are happy and, keep watching the board, my sister may have more stuff too!

I am the biggest baby on the planet and have a very low threshhold for pain. That being said, I went back to the hotel about 4 hours after surgery with no pain at all. I never took a pain pill and was up shopping the next day. The constant vomitting you are talking about might come from people who have gastric bypass. They DO vomit a lot! Lap banded people do not. Now, I did have some vomitting problems, but that was because I was not drinking enough and became dehydrated. But that is easily fixed by drinking more. Bottom line, this surgery was so easy for me, I felt like the whole trip was more of a vacation than a surgery. I actually had fun. Be positive, and look forward to the surgery and you will be fine! I truly believe that the reason I had no pain, was because I was so excited about FINALLY having something done about my weight that my hapiness overshadowed anything else. You will be amazed how easy it is!

No wonder you are hungry! You need to be drinking more than 3 shakes a day!!! You should be up to liquid yogurt and can add that in and also diluted fruit juice. Basically, you should be sipping something constantly throughout the day. The pain is from the band and you might be making it worse if you become dehydrated which you may well be if all you are having is 3 shakes a day. Drink more!!! And, walk a lot more and the pain will be gone in another week.

SHUSH UP!!!!!!!!!! You love all your little niececats and nephcats!!!!

OOOPS, too late! SORRY, I forgot!!!!!

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!! GOOD FOR YOU!

WOW!! Congratulations!

What a great story!! I am so happy for you. Congratulations!!! YEAH FOR JEANS!!!!!!!

Well, right out of the blue, WHAMMO! RESTRICTION!!!!!!!!!! YEAH!!!!!!!!!! Darn near died when I tried a bite of tuna on a cracker just now! Should have made it a smaller bite, should have chewed better, and should not have had the second bite so quick. But, glad I did to show me that I HAVE RESTRICTION!!! I've gotten so used to not having good restriction from my fills, I wasn't paying attention to my eating. But apparently, this business of it taking a week or so to kick in is RIGHT!!! ~~~~~~~I am happy again~~~~~~~~~ Oh, and my computer is in the shop and I have my fingers crossed that it is just the power supply and not the mother board or a full crash. I should know today or tomorrow. It's a DELL. A very hugh end DELL. I figured spend the money get a high end DELL and it will last me for years. Well, let me tell you, I have had it 3 years and have had major problems with it since day 1. The 2 men at the computer repair store were kind of laughing at me, and told me they get in DELLS all the time for repairs. Needless to say, I will not be buying another one.

If I do need a new motherboard, will that mean I lost everything in my computer? I've tried to call DELL and sit on hold for hours. Last time I had a problem, I spent a total of 16, yes 16 hours on the phone with them. GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

I am in the same boat as you dear. I am up to my third fill with little to no restriction. But, I do have the larger band and it takes longer to get it up to where it needs to be. But, try to have a little more patience. I know it's hard, but it will come. It just takes a while to get there for some people. But, do go get that fill and if it doesn't work, get a second fill right away. It usually takes a couple of fills to feel the effects. And also, don't get disappointed if the first fill doesn't give you much restriction. That IS normal. Just try to hang on a little longer and try not to get to upset. You'll get there!!!

Well, if it isn't too much trouble, you could post pics. If not, thats ok. People can just let you know what pieces they are interested in and give you their mailing info and then you mail them and they reimburse you for postage. I am interested in anything that is like a size 24, which could be a 2x or 3x. Let me know what you have, k?

But probably won't be back for a while now. BOOHOO. I don't know whats wrong with it, but when I turn it on, all I hear is the fan inside. A phone call to a computer geek said it was probably the mother board or the internal power source. I've had more problems with my SO CALLED WONDERFUL DELL, I am mad. Can't take it in til monday, so I probably won't be back until I go into work. Julie - glad you are back. I mailed the jeans! Bobbi, I mailed your package too. I'll have to get some pics of my sisters clothes. Her camera is broke but I should see her tomorrow and will take my camera with me. Course, it may be a few days til I can post them with my broke computer.

I too wondered about seeing the phentermine by the glitter stars. I didn't know what that was all about. I was on the phen-phen cocktail for 3 years and did lose weight. I also lost my memory along with it. No heart problems, just a serious memory problem that has lasted even til today. I am always forgetting things I've said or done. It causes me a lot of problems too. Especially at work. I work in Insurance and my job is kind of complicated. I have to know all of the insurance laws for all of the states and they are all different. So work is hard but my friends help me when I need it.

I have a 10 cc VG band and have had 3 fills. I have a total of 7 cc's now. It's not enough for me. Maybe one more and I'll be fine. But Lisa is right, you can go by anyone else. YOur body is different than everyone else's.

Yes, it is complicated to follow, you are right about that. But I love it.

Last season was kind of boring, but you should have waited one more season. This one got so much better!!!!!!!!!! We learned sooo much!

I don't know buddy, we were meant for each other, LOL!!!I love LOST and never missed a show either.

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!! You are doing fantastic!!!!! Great job!!

This is exactly what I need!!!! Thanks so much.

Watch it BABY sister, there's lots of animal lovers here!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAA

Yes, the ghost walk is my big thing that I AM doing. And I AM a mess. So now I've admitted my problem, maybe I can join a WHACKED ANONYMOUS group huh? I swear I have ADHD. My mind is always going in 10 directions at once. But, you didn't tell me what to do? Dr. MD or Dr. PA?
