my dr told me when I woke up that I had one. I did not even know I had one. wasn't even sure what it was. but he fixed it and I am happy about that.

I just walk.......get out there (with my hub and Dobermans) and just walk...after not being able to for 1 to 2 yrs, its wonderful to get out and be outside and walking...

yes, living life better with the band...its great now, its only getting better.

i am not worried about what may happen down the road. i will deal if and when it comes up that there is a problem. to my knowledge and from what my dr said, my band (dixie) will be with me forever. thank heavens for that as i on my way.....

when i do eat it (its those cute little mini's) 100 cal ones (easy to take into movie theaters also) ...yeah i know bad CG

sexy thang........

i know ms rhonda i said i would not post on your threads but again please listen..if you are hurting or in pain, please call and or go see your doctor so they can advise you. PS: getting the band or any WLS is not a walk in the park. its not easy as some think it is. it was major surgery. i suggest you talk to your doctor. your health is what is important.

looks amazing

i have so many...gosh i am guessing 25 or so.....you name a spot, its most likely inked hub is the same and my son is inked pretty well...i just have always liked them...i got my first one at 18. and i am always thinking of getting one LOL

well bless your heart...its pretty hard and embarrassing to write i was nearly as wide as i was tall and that my arms had trouble going around me, but its the truth..i had to face truth, face reality to accept what is before i could make that change...and how after the band, again accept responsibility for following the rules or not...my band gave me my life back....eryn's meme is rocking it

the band has not took away my craving or took away my hunger...my plication and band has helped me eat less. i must be dumb as i dont know what question you are asking exactly so forgive me now for appearing as such

like mis when the dr goes inside, he will know...that is why its important to follow the pre op diet rules...my dr said if he went inside, and my liver wasnt shrunk enough, he wouldnt do the surgery. that right there scared me enough to make sure i followed the rules.

well that hurt.....boo hooo

my last meal was night before my pre op. whopper and cheese and coors light. the next day, my new life began. never looked back. enjoy

I am so happy you have not cheated. I am so proud of you. You were on the same liquid as I was. Its a great feeling to know inside you are doing so well isn't it? That tells me that you got this and understand what it takes to make yourself well. There are just nerves...Don't worry about what you don't lose..you are just preparing your insides for surgery. Its not about how much you lose...YOU are amazing. Best of luck.

oh how I miss Coors light...

sounds about right..i still take my time and am nearly 8 months post op..do what works for you

find the want power......once you have that, there is nothing you cant do

i be a show wh**re LOL

at the 100 pound loss, i am buying the spotted animal print heel from victoria secret

amy i feel you and understand...catfish is right....yesterday is over...sure it hurts and it always will..but use that hurt to your advantage...prove those negative thoughts you have wrong..you are gorgeous inside and out... there are mean people in this world..i hate mean people..i believe strongly in what goes around.. i was nearly home bound for 2 yrs because i was ashamed to go out..i am still struggling to bring myself out of that..if i can do it, at 336 when i started, so can you..every day is a new day...

i was at my highest weight ever, it was hard for me to walk and it was getting hard going to the bathroom...i felt i was as wide as i was tall..i was in serious trouble...i researched for 6 months all wls and liked the band...it took me some time to find a dr who accepted my insurance..by the time i found one, i was about to give up and then i found out i was going to be a grand mother....i wanted to be able to push the baby around the block...that was my goal.. my band and plication helps me eat less (and i mentally make myself aware of the foods i eat..if i eat, its going to be something good for me and filling and what i want)..my band helps me and that is why i love my band. why was i banded...so i could save my life and for this: my grandbaby eryn and my air force son wyatt

i had the hernia repair also and it did not seem to affect my swallowing..i agree with the other posters, def need to let your dr know as its vital to stay hydrated..congrats on your recent surgery
