Janellody - Yeah I can see both sides of the story. I tend to go more eastern medicine than western. (in the colinics more egyptian...lol) I am more focused on getting to the issue and treating it. I am sooo glad I went in for a colonic. Matter of fact if I had the money I would do a series of treatments to clean my entire bowel. Our bodies are meant to take care of buisness and I have tended to abuse mine so it is not working correctly. So that leaves me to do the best with what I have left. Hence the lapband and colonic choices. Recently I listened to a bit of literature that is coming out talking ill of the band. Now that it has been out for a while the studies are rolling out. (the US is further behind the rest of the world in band.) Oh and I find that i find good and bad on everything. Before getting the band I watched and listened to peoples passionate experiences that were NOT GOOD with the band. Still I choose to make an educated choice on my own behaf. I will say it was an eye opening thing to do. Even seeing people with bands be sick and very unhappy, I took the chance that I would not be one of the unfortunate..... Glad you shared your views. It's nice to have a well rounded topic.

It went good, way better than I thought it would....you will never believe this Janice! I reported a gain this week....even after the colonic! Maybe I am not so full of shit after all. Ha!

I got obsessive with the scale and cut back to once a week. Seriously i would step on the scale when I went to pee. Balance is nice. Start from the beginning.

Janet! Oh what a glorious feeling! I am so happy for you! I know being in onederland has to feel gooooood!

Hi everyone! I am reporting a gain this week. Up to 229.8.

Theresa girl I was so uncomfortable. I was having lower back discomfort and my lower belly was not feeling right. My poop was bigger than rabit turds but you get the point......gaw! Who wants that.....Not me. So anytime I get to feeling that yuck I am going to call. I think all the protein is hard on my system....I do my best to get veggies and fruits to help the process but hey....I was constipated!

I went to Essential Body Therapies. Kristi it was so nice, very comforting enviorment/setting. Really relaxing. Well except of the getting a speculum stuck up your keister! Ha! But even that was not terrible. No discomfort and you are not focusing on it. Girl you know I was watching the evacuation of the stuff too.....so interesting to see it in action! Leave it to me huh! LOL I googled colonic and my city and it brought up the places that did them. I call each and got the info I wanted and went with the one that I had the best feeling about.

I am back to report "everything came out okay." It was actually better than I expected. I felt so clogged up that I think anything would have felt great! Alot did come out and boy did it ever feel good. When I was finished I felt pure joy! I know that pry sounds wacky, but I was over joyed. My belly no longer feels bad and my lower back is not hurting anymore! I actually hugged the lady who gave me my treatment. I had a pleasent experience and I feel confident I will go again when I feel the need arise. I have no idea if I lost any weight but we can see on Wednesday. Really I don't feel thinner, but I do feel less full of _ _ _ _! LOL I did feel minimal cramping during. kinda like you do before you are going to have diarrhea. None of the cramps were bad for me and passed quickly. I give a clonic two thumbs up.

Good to know. I have not purchased any, just reading about it right now. Well, hold up. I do have a product for joint support, and I think it is in there. After watching and reading about it I was on the thought process if it helps me not to have excess skin issues, then maybe this would be a product worth taking. Ya know if it prevented a need for plastic surgery. Over all I am doing the lap band to be healthy and get to a healier weight, however I am not going to say I don't have some vanity issues in there too. I'd like to look great too! Thanks for your input.

Interesting. I certainly hope I do not experience cramps like you've spoken of, but thanks for letting me know. At least I will be prepaired for it if it happens. Yikes! I wasn't expecting a ton of weight to come off from this. For the most part, I figured it would clean me out. Not that I eat much. But after reading about the "years of build up" anything is possible. I decided on the colonic to cleanse the toxins from my system. My mom warned me about flushing the important nutrients from my colon, but to be honest I dismissed it. I figured I would eat yogurt and thought if it is in my colon....isn't it on it's way out. So good point to bring up. I wonder what this practisioner will advise for me to restore my system. I will be more aware and find out for sure. I've not abused laxatives before. Doesn't sound like a good time, but I see how it could be something that could happen. Wanting to evacuate all the "stuff" from your system. I figured I would be a once a year colonic gal. Thanks so much for posting your knowledge Lindsay!

Hey, you are doing better than you give yourself credit for! Don't avoid this forum! That is a direct request from the queen of TMI herself! LOL You will have to read my lastest post to figure out what I am talking about! ((HUGS))

Carrie - I was shocked to hear that we "could" have anywhere from 10-40 lbs of excess....you know what in our colon. ARE YOU SERIOUS!!!! Now I've realized for some time now that I am full of _ _ _ _ but up to 40 lbs! Holy crap'o'la! Ha! I will let you know how everything comes out....LMBO! I am more curious about the "clean up" process.....I mean, I won't leave smelling like a sack of poop will I??? I made sure I didn't have to pick Lil D up from daycare....could you imagine...me walking in smelling like I need the diaper change!?? Oh my gosh I would be so embarassed! Okay... maybe I should change my screen name on here to thequeenof TMI! LOL

Hey peeps! I have a colonic scheduled for today. This being my first I am a tad nervous. What is a colonic you ask...... colonic - an enema that injects large amounts of fluid high into the colon for cleansing purposes. Oh joy! Yes, I am going today to have a tube inserted in my keister to evacuate poo and crap! LOL Anyone done this before? I've read great things about this procedure. I'll let you all know what I think of it once I am on the other side..... playV2('en/US/sj/sjd5dsd5ssstdrsthn');playV2('en/UK/sj/sjd5dsd5ssstdrsthn')

Okay so I have watched videos about the MSM suppliment helping with saggy baggy extra skin. MSM / Methylsulfonylmethane - Here is one of the vids I have seen... I have been reading on the web about this suppliment and have found some interesting information. Anyone heard of this suppliment? What are your thoughts?

Sabrina - you teach me sooo much. I am thankful you are here and talk about what is really going on. Great post! Thanks! Angie -
I took out a partial loan. Wouldn't have waited to save up. In our lives something always happens and the cash goes in a different direction. Example I had surgery. The day after I got back hubby had surgery. The the tansmittion went out in our expedition. Money money money. I am thankful I financed my surgery as a good portion of our savings went for my hubbys recovery time off work and the cost of the tans as well as my fills. Yes. I say do it if you are able to.
