You don't ..! Hell your just dating not getting married! when you all discuss going out on a date pick something fun to do instead of go out to dinner. Try dancing or playing pool or the movies.....try inviting another couple over for board games. But honestly it is none of thier business until you start getting serious with them (really) serious.. Good Luck

Is that gas killing you yet?? When I got home after surgery I stood in the bathroom mirror for about 20 minutes saying to myself "What did I do" My shoulder and back were killing me fro the gas. They kept telling me to walk ...but even hurt to walk!

was this the true results in houston? I was banded there Dec 2011 and no problems. My co-pay is only $20...... I had Dr. Rielly

Question, did you gain weight during pregnancy? Its really not a dumb question because I did not. A lot of people dont gain weight every visit I would gain 3 or 4 pounds then I would lose it ...it was like that for BOTH pregnancies ...of course they were back to back Feb 2010 and Mar 2011. But Im asking because if you did, that would explain why it is tight with no Fluid. The same way I feel now (even though I complain if you read my blogs) but as I lose weight or inches, my band gets looser and I need a fill i was at what I thought was my green zone then lost a few pounds and that restriction went away. Do whats best for you, but be careful i said too I wish that I would have had gastric too because it was faster, but it is also a more invasive surgery that is NOT reversible. Good luck

I am about 6 months post op, and I noticed thinning a few weels ago, also I noticed that my nails were starting to get brittle. I started taking biotin about a month ago and i can see a diffrence too already. Good luck... I have only lost 20-25 pounds and a lot of inches so far.....

There is a little more work to be done on love handles and abs, but if felt darn good to go into the store and try on a medium and look good in it. 6 months post op.....and still kicking!

Ok I had my surgery December 1, 2011....The only people that know are my mom and dad, the ex-co worker that had it done, and moved on ...so there is no real communication anymore, and 2 of my current co-workers who were sworn to secrecy. MY OWN HUSBAND DOES NOT KNOW.... Either way I was talking to a coworker about the light progresso soup that I had been eating, and she said oh I tried that I didnt like it because it was bland....and I said thats why its a light soup because it has low sodium and low calories. And then I said "take a look, cant you tell it's workin for me" And out of no where another co-worker turned around and said really loud "Come on Dee, the whole office knows you had gastric bypass" .......Which she was wrong I had lap-band thank you very much! I was taken by surprise and at 33 years old I wanted to run out of the office crying, but I stood there and the first thing that came out of my mouth was "No I didn't" She turned back around with a smirk on her face and I said one or two more things about my eating like the crystal light flavors that i like to add into my water, then I scurried back to my lab area. How did she know, did one of my favorite co-workers spill the beans? I was horrified!! A Little history: I work in a medical office with 2 female doctors and 5 other females EVERYONE of them is on this freakin Paleo diet as of November 2011 They are all caucasian and thin. I did not want to be the only large and black female in the office, ....dont get me wrong i did this for me and so that i can have energy for my 1 and 2 year old sons and my full time job and my husband... but walking into work everyday hearing about this freakin paleo diet and watchin them jump on and off the scale was making me sick...i wanted to show them that I could lose weight too, and mabey faster than them! I guess the jokes on me...I really dont want to go into work tommorow ....how could she be so mean? This really changes the way I feel about her as a person.

Ok, I am five months post op.......at first I was feeling good because my clothes were getting loose.....but when I look at my pics i look the damn same...I never really like taking pics because of how i look, But I said what the hell its been five months ....so I upload a few pics and then looked at the old ones and started feeling bad....that why I hate taking pictures ...... Can you guys look through my small gallery and tell me if you see a diffrence?

just a question, how much Fluid did you have in your band before you fell off the wagon. just wondering, because the band is a tool and me myself am still new to this, i was banded on December 1, 2011 and have had 4 fills and have restriction and i am unable to eat a lot. Is it because you did not reach your sweet spot?

Girl dont worry ...The scale was not moving for me either, And i am 4 months post op, but then i started to notice my clothes getting bigger, it was me loosing inches and not pounds....i have had 4 fills and have 6.6cc in my 10cc band. Hang in there

Ok, so im four months post op....and at first i was getting depressed because after surgery I immediately lost 17-18 pounds.then nothing for weeks! But then i began to notice that my clothes were getting bigger ...BUT no change on the scale (weird) ...anyway at the start of surgery I was a tight 14/16 ...now Im a 12/14 comfortable.....When I went to the store to get a few new things to wear because everything was just too baggy, I was so excited to get into something cute. I have a 10cc band and have a little over 5cc in it now......All I can say is protein protein protein ! It makes you want to keep up the good work when you see results

I am starting to get hungry, and look for food! I had surgery on December 1st 2011 ...I had only 1 fill on January 5th....I am hungry....but when i feel that way I just eat a bowl of special k red berries and that usual takes care of it but im getting scared....no weight gain, but no loss either in 2 weeks ???? I am so ready to call pizza hut an order a thin crust veggie pizza right now.... HELP !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Some guys dont want to talk about any "female" stuff. i have had uterine fibroids, I had 2 c-sections, and a ovarian cyst.....heck All I had to say was i was going in for them to look at something "on the inside" and he got grossed out......he wanted to come to surgery but i told him not to miss work because it was a dimple procedure and I would be home when he got off work! And thats how i played it off and still got sympathy and soup for having surgery.....

Ok eveyone can tell im losing weight. I know for a fact im losing tons of inches and have lost a total of 17 pounds ONLY since my surgery on December 1st ...I have only had 2 fills, I have a little over 4cc in my 10cc band. I try and walk on my lunch breaks, since I have a 1 and a 2 year old at home and I work full time. I have not had sodas or fried foods, I eat m&m's ONLY around that time of month or i will kill someone! i dont eat nearly as much food as i did before the band..... For example I had a protein shake in the morning and a bowl of soup for lunch with a salad and i most of it, but there was still some soup and salad left! When I got home I was not hungry but I had some popcorn Thats it! I have noticed my hair getting thinner.....I do take my vitamin EVERYDAY.....NO WEIGHT GAIN .... I asked my office for more fluid but they only give 1cc per visit ......SAD SAD SAD .....BOO HOO

ok thanks I will go back to how i use to do things right after surgery.....I have some restriction, which is why im not eating a lot, but you are right i need to eat the right stuff, ...Im gonna be honest I thought if I was not eating alot, the weight would come off. Dont get me wrong im not starving myself, but they say if you are not hungry dont eat! so i dont..... but thanks for getting me back in line .....

Yeah i was banded Dec 1st 2011 And After surgery I have only lost 17 pounds! Like you im loosing inches like crazy, and can no longer see back rolls through my shirts, and the scale is slowly moving...gets on my nerve! i nly weigh myself once a week on monday mornings.....

Oh Lord! I was banded on December first and only lost 17 pounds! But lots of inches, clothes are loose and falling, but weight is changing a little I no loner have visable back rolls through shirts (love it) I guess eerybody is diffrent ....Im starting to walk more during the day on my lunches, but I tell you I think the true thing is excersie!!!!! That will give you a big kick .....so im turning mine up a notch
