Babe - I do not know, what I would have done to that person My weight is distributed all over the place, so I never had to ask for the seatbelt extension, but was always annoyed by those little trays you pull down. Sometimes they just plain layed on my thighs and I had to watch that my stuff did not slide back and forth ... and sometimes I've been lucky enough that there was a little space in between :lb12: Nowadays I even cross my legs and still sit comfortable LIFE IS GREAT

:clapping: YAYYY to a good restriction :clapping: Bill - Haven't seen you around for a while and we all missed you at our "get together" in Roswell I'm glad you finally have the right amount of restriction! As we all know, hitting the "sweet spot" is the key to our success, or else we would not need the help of the band ((((BIG BEAR HUGS))))

Should we include a detailed list with the tax return, so the IRS would know how we come up with the deduction ? Thanks again ((BIG BEAR HUG))

YAYYYY !!!! CONGRATULATIONS !!!! Amy, that is wonderful news Sorry I'm only a mom of 3 "fourlegged kids", so I can't be of any help in regards to your bp/pregnancy question. I guess the best thing is to discuss it with your doc. For the restriction part ... You might need a partial or complete unfill .... I'd talk to Dr. Ortiz Congrats again <' />

YAYYY Flan !! Great news :clapping: You have a wonderful & supportive husband - I'm working on my hubby as well to get my upper arms & thighs fixed GOOD LUCK AND KEEP US POSTED >

YES, I am blonde.... and that's why I need to double check, just to make sure LOL So I got banded in April'08 and DH came with me - he got banded in October'08 and I went with him .... so I can write off ... both round trip tickets for each surgery/trip, right ? That would be GREAT Thanks in advance !!!! >

Hiya Barb I found a post from a while ago: http://www.lapbandforum.com/index.php?show...69&hl=block Hubby & I got banded both in 2008 and I have the paperwork/receipts from our expenses like surgeries, flights, fills etc. to write off Hope this helps

Hi Kristy, If you go into "My Controls" you should see a link (on the left) to "Edit Avatar Settings". That will be where you can upload/choose your avatar pic that then shows on your posts. Hope this helps

I'm so happy for you > I know you do a great job and you work that band :clapping: I'm kinda in the same boat ... hit the onederland and boom got stuck, but I have to admit that I am guilty in not drinking enough lately When I'm stressed out and busy ... I tend to forget the drinking and if I force myself I get sick ...

WOWZZAAA Jann you rock!!!! I bet that was an awesome moment

Denise, it is official .... Keep up the great work, and BTW ... the color is stunning on you !!!

Cara, my first fill was 2.0cc and I had a little restriction for maybe a week? So I went ahead and got my 2nd fill and had a total of 3.2cc which was a tad to tight but loosend up eventually ... after 3 month ... to the point I had almost no restricton again. When I went for my 3rd fill I only had 2.4cc of the 3.2cc left and got a refill to 3.0cc. When I asked where the 0.8cc went, the NP said that usually she can't get all of it back out, since some of the fill is in the tube and some of it simply dissapears ... If 3.0cc fill is what is right for you .. then so be it ... we are all different! The 4cc band actually holds MORE than 4cc, so don't worry for now that you run out of space LOL YAYYYYY to restriction
