Was Barkin the third night post op

Hi Shae Sounds like your good to go and fairly prepared. Your in good hands with Dr. McKeen. I asked him about the amount of band patients vs. bypass. His answer was insurance, there's allot who want the band but can't get coverage. Was Sylvia the other pre-bander at the meeting? Let me know if there's anything I can do? You've got my # The best to you. Walk Rest Walk Shop Walk

Congratulations Samy :banana :banana :banana

Hi Rochelle Welcome to LBT. I have a little man too! Boy do they have energy. The band is the best thing I've done for Myself and for my family. The best luck to you.

Wow Mary! You sure have come a long way. Thanks for checking back with us. If my memory serves right and it was you. I recall a story of when you went into New York for the first time after banding to meet friends. That was over a year ago. I bet your friends are elated now.

Sending a prayer Brighteyes.

Baby Betty, Your so beautiful. Cool attire and boots. Thanks for posting the pics Love your hair.

Well little One...you've done the math,,Dang 550. I'm asuming on the somewhat the east coast.. That's alot in my book. 250 max for me under flouro (with insr). By Inamed standards I'd ask for 1.3cc if that's your band. We're all different

Your the Doll you'd be swi'm bout now in San Mateo...

I hate Funk...Best to YOU. sending my love

Thats it! It's all Fluff.... Betty she is tiny, isn't she? But what a sweetheart she is. Leatha I'm so proud of you! It's hard to tell that you ever had a weight problem. Here's to going down!!!

All these Love stories.....It's truly beautiful to read. The human mind works basically the same. The similarities, needs, wants. As we treat them like kings and queens and get treated likewise. Love is a wonderful thing.

Gee Shelly, I feel just like your signature comments…I eat 2 cups of food and still feel hungry! Major discipline in paying bills, not eating. You’re total Inspiration, you've come so far! Carol I’ll be at Doc McK next wends at noon to get a fill, it’s a quick trip into town, I’ve been so busy, otherwise I’d do lunch. The doc’s been doing quite a few bandsters lately. Lisa, I adore you too. Is that incision closed yet? Darcy watch out for the falling ice! Soon it will be worth every penny, when I get to goal…. Thanks for all the well wishes and congrats.

Paid off my Band. It took me over 16 months @ 5.9 %, but it's finally paid off. :banana :banana :banana So to Celebrate I've decided to get topped off a bit. I've been able to eat way too much. My last fill was November 11th under flouro, even though the doc said it was a textbook fill it never felt as tight as I did last year at this time. When I was newly banded and adjusted just right I had trained myself not to eat certain things such as breads and Pasta cause I knew they would come back up on me or give me a hard time going down (get stuck). I watched everything I ate! I need to get back on track, use FitDay and exercise. I lost that restricted feeling......bring back that.....feeling. Good luck to those trying to get the band. I paid out of pocket, borrowed on credit, and flew to Mexico by myself. The band is the best thing I ever did for myself...and my family!

Hi Penni I was also wondering where you've been. Looks wonderful and relaxing.

I recall a dream you had "walking down the street in my Incredible Hulk underwear" here's to your dreams coming true... Wishing you the best with your up-coming surgery! This is Hunter, he's not quite incredible...but he's a hulk!

Becky, Your a nut. Hi Jamimin

The Thongs...

I'd say take pics and measurements, but I think you've already done that. Congratulations on the date!

Unbelievable and you look so much younger than in 2000.

Yes it is a good feeling!!! Thanks for the congrats. Marie, Your funny. Save up for PS and I'm still planning that wedding??? Once I get all my ducks in a row I'll go on part time. I sure can dream.... I still have goals to achive. I'll be on Water Skis this summer!!

Hi Sweetheart. I sure have missed you. So happy to hear how good you are. You always loved the romantic stories and how you have one!!!. When I come on this board and read.., I say to myself "What would Donali say?" You always had the best advice with such a positive attitude. Again, We love to hear from you!

Wow Leatha, I'm just seeing these pics. You look great bygolly!

Can't think of any regrets what so ever. Best thing I ever done for myself and my family.

Sending a prayer
