Started the shakes a week ago and have lost 7 lbs. Met my surgeon yesterday and all clear for surgery next Wednesday April 4th. Ready!

Have u had your sugar levels tested/monitored? Intimate itching can be a side effect of high/low sugar levels. I would def watch your carb intake and sugar intake if there are no other reasons for u itching..

Hope all you Feb Bandsters are doing well. I am 7 weeks post op and I am down 33 lbs as of today. Down 2 pants sizes and after being in a 3x shirt for ever it seems I went down to a 1x. Really excited about my future and hopefully my good health.

Forgot my favorite part of spring. I love the beautiful flowers and the green grass. I love the fact that in spring we Celebrate Easter. The resurrection of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Lynn Philippians 4:13 <><

That's too funny we too have a Johnny Rockets by our local theater, small world. I admit I love popcorn too so what me and my husband do is get the small, I get a box put a small amount in it and when Im done Im done, Believe me it was trial and error on that too. Good luck

Sorry to hear that and wishing you all the best with your new surgery.

When I got my fill, when he hit it, it bubbled. Also when he put the saline in it, it gurggled In my chest. Pretty conclusive evidence hehe

Ugh, I don't know why I tortured myself by reading the comments on that article. Should have known better. People are seriously such pompous as@holes.

What's the matter with you people who vomit and vomit and think nothing of it???? Don't you know it can irritate your esophagus to the point of pre-cancerous cell changes called Barrett's esophagitis? Do you want to lose all this weight and then die young from cancer of the esophagus? Don't you read ANYTHING??? For Pete's sake, go to your surgeon and get unfilled enough so that you can eat and keep it down. Honestly, I find it hard to believe that some of you are so un-informed that you risk your health daily. Get with the program, people! You had this surgery to improve your health and yet you are risking your life.

You're a fighter and a survivor. You have a great positive attitude so you've already won part of the battle. It's easy for someone who's not in your situation to say hang in there, but trust me, I'm struggling with things financially too and know how easy it is to just want to give up on everything. But as long as you stay positive and see the good in your situation, you'll be able to get through. I'm keeping you in my thoughts and prayers for continued health, body and mind. Keep pushing through!
