Ok guys its been awhile since I've been here. My daughter and I had our bands placed in Aug 18th I've lost 40some pounds and Jackie has lost 60lbs. We have had our first fill and that was included in the weight total. I have 2 questions, when do I et my next fill? I can pretty much eat ahything that I want. I maintain around 228-230 my scales seem strange some times too,and Do you guys pb alot? I've caught myself eating too fast and it happens then, or I drink something and it is like I swallow alot of air. I don't drink with straws and when I do I don't have the p-bing as much. Keep Jackie in your thoughts and prayers, she had a car accident the day after Thanksgiving totaled our car but is doing wonderfully,now. I did have the Trauma Surgeons make sure her band was ok and it was. So wehave had a busy 2 months. Hopefully I'll be able to keep everyone aware of what is going on with us. Thanks for the answers I really don't feel so alone with you guys. Anna

Okay guys, I'm really excited to go to Mexico,but of course Our TV station here has started their coverage of the beloved "BED BUG" yuck. Every time I go away to a hotel this always pops up in my . Anything to worry about??? Also is it clean, I'm sure it is from what I have read. One more question,my daughter Rachael will be joining us in TJ and was wondering if she can use her portable DVD player, do we need a current transformer you know, like from 220v to 110v?? With traveling overseas as a military brat all these question arise.lol
