I have pains in my left side where my port is when I eat too much. it's weird for me, that way. I've been banded over 2 years and have never pb and have had fills under flouro so no slips or port flips. That's my trigger that I'm eating too much.

Laura, You look amazing. I'm 5'2 also and started about the same weight as you at my heaviest. I'm working real hard to take off 20 lbs before I have PS. I was down to 157 last Oct, but since then put on 10 lbs. Problems with my fills and was having acid reflux, so had unfill, then refill. Still haven't found that sweet spot again. Your inner thighs look great also! I have some loose skin there. I'm so excited for you. Keep resting and healing.

Glad to hear you are doing so well. You're looking good.

Can't wait to hear all about the surgery. You are in my prayers..

Allie, I had a consultation Monday and am real close to booking my TT and Breast Aug in November. I'm getting excited. What did you do to consitently loose the weight in a year? I need to get off another 20 and have been stalled. tried another fill, but ended up too tight with acid reflux and didn't want to chance a slip. I'm consistenly exercising now but need to eat better. What all did you eat?

Great job with weight loss and congrats on setting your PS date! I look forward to hearing more about your journey.

I had a consult today with a PS and asked how long in compression garment, and he told me he doesn't have his patients wear one... I'm little nervous about doing that because I've always heard it helps with swelling. Anyone else been told this?

Dr. marsden is Great. He's such a good ol boy. $139 is the price if you had the older model and want to upgrade (you still had to be in current subscription with older model). There is no on/off button. you just take it off and it shuts down. new black model works with mac

you look fabulous. This gives me an idea of the fleur technique. I have a body similar to yours and may need the same

I haven't given up. I don't get on this site much but it's nice to see how everyone is progressing. Weight loss is slow still have 20-30 to meet goal. I actually gained a little but working to get it off. I recently started having some issues with acid reflux. I hope there's not a slip. Go for swollow test on 6/8. I'm allright with a slight unfill because I have been tight lately. I just hope there isn't anything else going on. I also made my first consulation with a plastic surgeon. This is for 6/18. I had a breast reduction years ago and now they are pretty flat. Also interested in tummy tuck.

i just upgraded to the new black one and now it's being offered for $139. Plus you get the 6 mos free subscription. Like the new size. It's different like where the usb is and it snaps into the strap but liking it.

I've been banded over 2 years and just started having reflux issues. After reading these posts I think i should call my dr. and have band examined. I think my last fill was 11/08.

Hello -I'm Tiffany, I was banded 2/16/07, in Hurst TX. By Dr. Marsden I am having a lot of difficulty with pains in the middle of my chest. I can only drink about 3 oz. without the pain coming on. I'm in liquid stage having some applesauce and pudding (2oz). I'm only getting about 12 oz of liquids each day. Doesn't seem right. Sometimes, it hurts just to breathe. I've wondered if I made the right decision. I really thought I would feel better by now and back at work. The incisions are not hurting just the middle of chest. I have lost 10 lbs, but just feel like crying today. :think I try to keep telling myself it will pass, this is the worst stage, but just feel helpless today. Any suggestions? Word of encouragement.

Hi Andrea, I know. My son will be in college in 2 years. The cruise food was awesome. I ate everthing. Didn't have any problems. Just took a taste if I wanted it. I did gain about 6lbs but lost it all within a week and half. I'm down know to 158. i'm so excited. haven't been here in 6yrs Is school back in session?

Good luck! I was approved by insurance and remember the waiting period. Glad you've made the decision for a healthier you.

Andrea, You look fabulous. I love the hair too! We are busy living life. I know what you mean about school already starting. I love summers. You have done great with the band. What an inspiration you are. We had fun on our cruise. I don't think I'm been back online since then.

Couting the days down for the cruise. 10 more I did Taebo today. I need to get buy some more shorts. I only have a few pairs that fit right. Been wearing baggy ones around the house. 4 mi walk is great! Great job Chrs on bikeride

Yea Andrea, Can't wait to see your updated pics. That is exciting to get to be on his website. It's so fun at VBS with the little ones. You have done really good with your weight loss. Congrats. I did 1 hour of Taebo today.

Went to the gym today for 1hr of yoga. Felt good but tough.

I know what you mean. I'm feeling great too and this week found myself slipping into old habits. The scale moved the wrong direction this week, but can only blame myself for eating wrong. I did manage to get in only 1 workout but its something. I've been snacking alot lately. WE can do it. I am committed to getting on track this week with my 3 workouts. No excuses. Please keep me accountable.

My doc said not to take Fiber pills that expands in the belly cause it could cause pouch to stretch. I have problems going too. Thought about the colonitic also. Have any of you done a detox cleanse? If so what kind?

Here I am. Great job for the week.. My son lost my fitness club id so I haven't been this week. My son had sugery today. All went well but home taking care of him.. Guess I should do taebo tonight. I haven't been very motivated lately so I definitely need some encouragement. I will do better the remainder of the week. Only have a month before the cruise to drop 5 lbs.

Georgiagirl, I've had that happen a few times too.

Count me in Zannie. Moderate Level 1 I worked out today to Billy Banks TAE BO 1 DOWN

Count me in too. I have a month before cruise. Weighed 161.5 this morning. i was so excited. finally the scaled moved.
