butternuts replied to msmelc's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I was having trouble with acid reflux and they took some out to give my pouch a rest. I'm doing great now gaining alittle but thats ok just as long as i don't get that back . They said my band was to tight which was doing great for me for about 1 year. will get another fill when I think I need it. -

I missed Lanes when I couldn't wear her clothes anymore. They have a great selection of nice clothes. But what a wonderfull feeling not to have to wear that size any more. I've lost 100lbs and love myself.!!!!! Always look for me clothes instead of everyone else. Is that BAD??? -

I love there clothes and they don't fall apart the first time you wash them. Wish they would do smaller sizes. The sales ladies are so nice and they all wear the bigger sizes. Most stores there clothes fall apart or shrink when you wash them. Very good quality clothes They are a little pricey but well worth it. I tell everyone to shop there. Wonderful sales!!!!:drool:

That is what got us to be over weight in the first place. Is it really worth it to you? I think you need to answer that yourself. Good Luck

I :clap2: Love it when I go for a walk by myself the person that follows me is a thinner person. My boobs stay in my new pretty bras and don't hang all over the place . I can squat down and be able to bring myself back up without help I can get up out of the couch much easier. I don't glutten myself when I do eat because I can have more later. I love myself -
:hungry: I went in for a fill the other day and the nurse who did my fill told me if I was having a salad I needed to eat the lettuce first and then the rest of the salad because she said that the lettuce is 90% water and it will flush your food through to fast.

<p>We retired with health ins. from my husband work well 1 year later they decided to cancel the wifes ins.(we were not union) any way we now pay 12,000 yearly because I have a few problems and no one will ins. me. That does not include medicine or copayments. People have it alot worse then others and our older people have it the worst. We live in AMERICA!!!!</p>As we get older our needs change. Not eligable for Medicare yet.
