Hi Everyone! I just wanted to let everyone know my blog is hosting a giveaway from Lane Bryant. 2 winners will receive a $30.00 gift card from Lane Bryant (mailed personally from me). I know with weightloss it is hard to purchase clothes. I thought this might be of interest to you. I don't have many entries right now so wanted to give you the heads up. I won't post my link here, I am not intending to spam anyone. But if you are interested in this just send me a email either here or to my email Kysweetheart2007@gmail.com and I can send you the link. On a different note my revision surgery went great. I am getting restriction back and almost to that green zone. I am debating on getting another fill this week or waiting until after Christmas. I don't want to be too tight but then again I don't need to be gaining weight either. Egg Nog is goin to slide right down either way I look forward to hearing from you! Tabby

Thanks Dylan and IceStorm. I will be around, I need the support. To be honest I just got my feelings hurt initially but I should've read the terms of service and not posted a link in here. It still bothers me that people couldn't message me and say "don't post your links your bothering me" but instead they reported me. I could've got thrown out of the group and I depend on this group for answers and support. This journey is rough enough. Anyways I am better now p.s. I believe in karma.

I guess I am not as technically inclined as a lot of people but I have one blog I normally I use. Instead of blogging there and then blogging in different forums I usually do one blog (my main one) then share that link in forums, groups, etc. I have also seen other people putting links so I didn't realize I shouldn't do that. Instead of someone coming to me saying my link bothered them they report me for putting links. Thats sad. I came to this support group to not be brought down but to offer positivity when I could and to also receive it when needed. There is some amazing people in here and it saddens me that people would report me. I want to thank the people that has always had a kind word and the ones that didn't can go ....post a blog. sorry for offending anyone and it won't happen again. Believe me.

The weight really does come back faster then it goes off. I just had revision surgery because of a leak in my port cord and when I lost restriction I gained back all the weight I had lost plus some. It's discouraging. Don't give up though. It's a daily struggle but we all can do it.

wow 202 lbs in 11 mnths is awesome! You are doing wonderful. Sorry about your daily struggle with cravings, seems like you are stronger then they are.. Show them who is boss and keep up the good work. Your story is inspiring!

one of my skills as an overweight person is photo manipulation. No I don't photoshop my pictures but I normally only post pictures of my head and still people usually can tell I am overweight. I am dreaming of the day that I feel comfortable enough to post full bodied pictures of myself.

Thanks all Mayasgram, Yes, they went in and replaced the port cord.

I am officially fixed. Well as soon as I heal! I had my surgery and it went well. It didn't take long at all and while I had my doubts about the sedation I actually slept through it. They took me in the room and started putting meds in my IV and the next thing I know they are waking me and the doctor was gone (I didn't even see him coming in the room). I came out and if it hadn't been for them trying to figure out their new computer program I would've been out in less then half an hr. Right now I am burning around the incision. The incision is actually almost as long as my cell phone and that suprised me. He put 2 ccs in to start me out so now I just wait for 2 weeks and see how its going. He did send me home with liquid hydrocodone so that will help, I hope! I had no reason to be nervous.

Thank You LBT. I will be back to update. I need to be in here more often for the motivation! You all are great!

I have been trying to keep my mind off of tomorrows revision surgery by working on my new website/blog. It is nothing fancy but it's mine. Please check out www.shoppingwives.com and if you like it join my facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Shopping-Wives/299042063541771 I am new to this and would love to hear your comments on it!

Same thing is also going on here. I was going in every 2 to 3 weeks hoping for that restriction that never came. Finally they checked and I was leaking. They said it was very rare. Reading this thread it doesn't seem rare at all! They got me in really fast to fix the problem. I go in tomorrow at 10:45 and they said it takes about 30 minutes. I sure hope this works! Good luck to everybody and keep on keeping on! We can and will finish what we started. Tabby
