    I Got Tricked...

    I just bought my first scale and I also think that is why I was so large because I let my weight creep up on me by not checking my weight..... Not now.....on it day and night too!!

  4. Good luck!! It is hard work.... remember that the band is a tool and you still have to work hard and limit what you take in!
  5. My husband of 19 years did not approve of the surgery, but now I think he likes it because I feel better and am happier too! My biggest problem in life was that I wasn't happy with myself! I am not where I want to be yet but from a size 16 to a size 12 in two months..... I am on the road to a happier me!! I don't exspect to be the size I was when I met my husband (0-3) but I want to be a size that I don't feel so gross or depressed!

    "stuck Episode" Best Thing To Do Is....

    I have found that the finger down the throat is the only way! I do not vomit very easy..... The food that was stuck is usually all that comes up.

    Greetings From Houston, Texas!

    I was groggy for two days, but I saw everyone else that had surgery after me come out doing just fine! I started at 197 and I am now at 174 in 6weeks. I would like to loose faster. I go this Wednesday for my first fill. I would like to be under 170. I went from 120 to over 170 with my second pregnancy. I went from size 5-7 to 14-16. I am so ready to get into 10-12!!! I've been 14-16 for 17 years!

    Greetings From Houston, Texas!

    Sleep apnea study and psych evaluation is not needed for cash pay patients. I paid cash and did not have either done. I had the EDG, EKG, blood work, and I also had the hiatal hernia.

    Greetings From Houston, Texas!

    I don't recall having much pain, but the anthesia made me very tired and sleepy. The pain isn't all that bad..... I just don't do well with anthesia! I had surgery on Tuesday and took off work the rest of the week. I was more tired and week than pain.
