this is really a long shot but i am assuming when you wear a dress you are not wearing panty hose right? if you are./. or even if youre not.. im slightly suspicious that you may have a slight latex allergy. Or an allergy to the laundry detergent? In grown hairs.. always keep coming back in the same place just fyi... notice if they are always in the same place. its a problem with the hair folicle so the whole folicle needs to be removed..( or lazered) so the easy way would be to do one and see if its gone. but with no insurance; im afraid it might be too expensive. now i gotta lecture you like a mother.. most insurances are not going to cover a fill period. especially if it was a pre-existing condition. if youre still losing weight then thats cool. but if you arent .. Girlllllllll.. go get a fill!!! . ) you know it wont cost as much as a brazillian wax.. ( ok that was a text book mother type guilt trip )

i dont know either so i hope someone answers your question

I have no idea why it happens but i had the same thing.. the weight actually stayed a couple weeks. but then it left someone on here said they thought that happens more often when you have a hiatal hernia repair and i did happen to have one .. so maybe there is more swelling ? i dont really know but i know youre not alone. congrats on getting banded!

I dont really know if they are good or bad but I'm going to try them . thanks for sharing the brand as I;m looking for something fast and easy for lunch.

Hey Mandilou, wow congrats on the great weight loss! i am eating more calories then you for sure.. i am trying to keep the limit to 1200. i think.. but am not positive that my surgeon tells everyone the same thing.. eat at least 1000 and not more then 1200. . i think its just gonna take some thinking and planning.. I am really happy i did this. trying to stick to the calories.. I focus on the Protein . try to stay away from the bad stuff.. one thing is i need to find out if I am suppose to be drinking stuff like carnation instant Breakfast or not.? i think the surgeons office said.. dont drink your calories. at this point though.. i had a couple unhappy returns and its so tempting to do that. I had good luck with cottage cheese and chicken. ( LOL NOT Mcdonalds chicken nugget.. tried one and omg bad idea. i am trying to find some things i can get when we eat out . i have to work out of town for a week at a time once in a while. Cara.. have you had one fill already? let me know when you get one . hope that works for appetite. i am going to have my first fill in one week and then it will only be a partial fill. the next month i get the second one thats suppose to put me where i will stay hopefully. does this sound similar to everyone elses ? looking forward to feeling some restriction.

I wanted to tell everyone that i had my surgery on June 29.. i had some weight gain. 4 lbs between week 2 and 3... it totally defies the laws of physics! am just a little discouraged about that but i know it cant last. I think im doing what im suppose to and never go over 1200 calories a day. but so far i feel like a new person already and a ton more enerygy then i had in 20 years. i hope this keeps going like this.

i had my surgery same day as you hope all is well for you

lol i should have read this yesterday.. i had my surgery 2 and a half weeks ago and yesterday.. that lovely chicken nugget about did me in. ugh
