I normally wouldn't be so scared, but my Nana passed away from stomach cancer in 08. I trust my doctor and yes, I agree, it's probably just from all the equipment and cutting or something, but at the same time... It's personal because of my grandmother. I'm a worrier. =/ Ahhhh! Hurry up Monday! Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using LapBandTalk

I'm pretty worried right about now. My last check up appointment with my Hematologist was today. Good news is that my Pulmonary Embolism is gone and I can get off my medicine in 2 weeks. I left after getting a copy of my CT Scan. Then, I was looking at my results it in the car today and read that they "saw my gastric band and there was a 4.4x2.7 mass adjacent to the band - possible polypoid lesion" Uhhhhh, what? My Hematologist is also an Oncologist, she should of brought this up! So it's Friday and I'm pissed that I can't do anything until Monday. I called my surgeon and he said since they aren't really trained to look at lapbands on scans they could be wrong and to send him the video of the scan next week. But, at the same time, they know what they're looking at cyst/polyp wise - I was at a freaking cancer center! So now I've Google'd polypoid lesion of the stomach and all I had to read was possibly malignant to worry me. =( Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using LapBandTalk

Got my Allergen Lapband Pedometer Radio today as well as my ID card. Lol. Did anyone else get these from them? It was in my Lapband packet from my surgeon. I just filled in out and sent it in last week. I still want a Fitbit though, taking donations! Lol. Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using LapBandTalk

I was just thinking about a personal experience with Maltitol and figured I'd warn all of you, because apparently it's common. A lot of Sugar Free candies, ice cream and stuff have Maltitol in them and this stuff, if you eat too much, will give you the worst gas pains that you could ever imagine. I almost went to the hospital because my episode was so bad years ago, then someone told me to see if the gummy bears that I just ate had Maltitol in them and sure enough, they did. Take my word, please! Lol. Don't splurge just because it's sugar free! I'd rather gain a pound than go through that all night again! Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using LapBandTalk

I have a few pallet projects too! I love the turquoise people are using now! Boyfriend hates headboards so I've decided that I'll do an on the wall faux headboard type thing, but it's not attached so HA! LOL. Move closer and go junk shopping with me! Lol. My mom is already collecting jars for me for other random things! Haha. I'm also waiting for someone to remodel their home and trash their shutters so I can make something with those too!

Remembered that you posted that you were from Texas City. Are you okay? I just saw on the news about the shelter in place (that is now lifted) from the acid spill or whatever it is. Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using LapBandTalk

It's going to be! Especially since I now have an electric sander! Sanding is my least favorite part of the job! I'm also going to make my "other two kids" (my dogs. Lol.) a dog bed that actually matches my house rather than a flannel/fur pallet that looks out of place! Once I get started on all my projects, I'll post the before and after in my blog on here and let you all know about them! Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using LapBandTalk

I have a tall, narrow chest of drawers that was my Nanas when she was younger. It was one of the items I got from her when she passed. I've been wanting to fix it up and change the color, but thought it was something she wouldn't like. Lol. I'm crazy like that. But my mom told me that she was actually going to sand it and change it a few years before she passed, so I'm finally going to do it! It's in extremely good condition, no nicks or anything, just the color is horrible! Then... Oh man... THEN I'm going to garage sale/good will like a mad woman and buy all the sad little fixer upper stuff. Lol. My boyfriend is gunna hate me for all of this. Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using LapBandTalk

I've had to force myself to eat jello cups a lot this week. It's not taking much to fill me up, but it's not holding me over til my next meal. I had to get up at midnight and eat jello because of hunger pains. I tried to ignore them but they start hurting BAD! Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using LapBandTalk

Woke the snoring beast up for a 3am sesh. It must of been good because I woke up to a really sweet note. Lol. Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using LapBandTalk

Oops, they're at the True Results building on Main! I don't know what floor. The 8th I guess? Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using LapBandTalk

I know of at least one other lady that is going, she's the one that told me to start going. Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using LapBandTalk

I was going to go to the one before I was banded but something came up. =( Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using LapBandTalk

I had surgery on the 12th with Dr. Reilly. If any of you will be at the True Results monthly meeting next Tuesday at 6, let me know! I'll be there! Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using LapBandTalk

Daaaaang! Hope my boyfriend doesn't mind me saying that you are smokin! Haha. I'm in Webster, not too far from Galveston. I'm with the other person that said to let them know when you go to Galveston! I'd love to have band friends near me! I was banded just 2 weeks ago on the 12th. I'll be at the True Results monthly meeting next Tuesday at 6, those of you that are close should come! Thanks for sharing your story and being such an inspiration! You really look amazing and totally make me feel motivated! xx Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using LapBandTalk

Mine said he's never canceled a surgery or stopped mid surgery. True Results did tell me that he would if I didn't lose the weight though. Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using LapBandTalk

Lol, I can't wait to do a ton of Pinterest projects when we move! Ahhh! Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using LapBandTalk

DON'T TOUCH THE SCALE THIS WEEK! I've heard that it's totally normal to gain a little right after. Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using LapBandTalk
