Congratulations and I wish you much success.

yes I use mine everyday. I play outdoor challenge against my kids. They are really competitive so I usually end up sweating and out of breath 2 hours later and still haven't won. LOL

Congratulations on your loss. Sometimes family members can be just as bitter and evil or worse than strangers. Keep your head up and let their comments slide off your back. because you will have the last laugh when the joke is on them.

I'm in it sounds like fun.

thank you Iowaguy. I am still newly banded and I appreciate every peice of advice the posters to this board give us. I have read a few of fluffy's replies and posts and I must say if she were the first person I encountered here i would have never came back. It is people like you and others who make this board great. SO from the bottom of my heart THANK YOU for every minute of your busy life that you give to post to this board. Sometimes all it takes is someone saying the right thing at the right moment to change someones perspective,

I don't complain about my health insurance because something is better than nothing. I know people who don't have anything and they worry about very serious health issues. I don not pretend to understand the Oboma ealth care plan, but if it will help those without insurance get the health care they need I am all for it . I appreciate that my insurance covered my lapband and I will work very hard to make sure I do everything I can to lose the weight and keep it off.

I have been having the same issue with itching all over . At present the rash is confined to my face arms and the creases in the back of my legs.I believe it is the liquid lortab they gave me for pain.

my banding is this Monday Jan.3 I am so nervous I was fine up until now. Now I am so nervous I don't know what to do. But I need this, so I am going forward and I will be strong.

I am happy for you. I will say a prayer for your speedy recovery.

Thats it exactly I am excited yet scared at the same time. I spent some time yesterday reading posts from others who have had or are waiting so I know this isn't an unusual feeling. Thank you for the support and encouragement.
