Tibbie, I wish you lots of only good luck with your band. When are you getting it? My first one was put in by Dr.Ortiz. I'm on my second one now. Dr. R. had to take the old one out because it slipped. That was this last July. I doing well now....just remember Tibbie to work out too. I think that is key to getting the weight to come off.

Hi Jennie, Where the heck have you been girl? We have missed you. Sorry to hear about your band slipping. Jennie mine did too. I had to have Dr. R. remove my old one and put in a new one. I hope you don't wait as long as I did. I want really bad off by the time I finnally went to for surgery. I wish you well....please let me know how you are doing. Call me Jennie if you still have my cell number. Terry

Over the years of being married to the man in my life of whom I completely adore; I have noticed all the different names I have given him. His real name is Thomas, but every one calls him Tom. I never call him that. I call him Honey, or Babe most of the time. When I want to make my point of view heard by him I call him Thomas. When I'm mad at him I call him an Ass. When I speak of him to other people I call him Tommy. Last but not least....I call him Baloney butt when I want to let him know....I still love him but he needs a shower. Yes ladies....he will answers to them all! :smile:

My first band was done in Mexico by Dr. Ortiz. Jan. 2007. I had trouble with it right from the start. It seems it may have been put to low and ended up making a small pouch above the band over time. I have lost 50 lbs but it was not easy. The last year I have had to eat around the band by eating very soft foods; then towards the end nothing was going down....not even water. This was all with no fill at all at the end. I haven't heard anything at all negative about any of the doctors in the Clinton office. I'm so glad I have Dr. Rohrscheib as my doctor. Terry

Hi Kelly, Well.....I'm starting to finely feel better now. Dr Rohrscheib was able to remove the old band with no problems and put in a new one. I go in for my first fill the end of Sept. Talk to you later, Terry

Hi Kelly, Hey....Let's do lunch sometime and get caught up on things with each other. I'm available anytime this week; e-mail or call me. Terry

Gwenn, EZ FIBER doesn't have pysllium in it. Maybe that is why it doesn't get thick when you add it to liquid. The directions calls for 1-2 tbsp up to 3 times a day. I don't use it like that. What I do is just get a large table spoon and put one heaping amount into an eight ounce glass of orange juice; just once a day. You can't see it at all in the juice once you stir it up and you can't taste it all. It will take you a few days to figure out how much you will need to get your self going smoothly. Everyone is different. I used to use those little pink pills. Well those were pretty unpredictable and very uncomfortable. EZ Fiber works in just 2 or 3 hours most times for me. I hope this helps, Terry

The best....most friendly one I use is called EZ FIBER. It is non thickening, grit free,tasteless, and sugar free. You can put it in anything, but I always put it in my orange juice in the morning. You never even know you are drinking anything other then your orange juice, it's really great. You can find it at wall-mart for half the price of some of the other name brands.

Hi Kelly, I just wanted to say hi and let you know that I haven't forgotten you. How are you doing with your weight loss? I'm doing ok...I've gained maybe two or three pounds since my complete unfill. I plan on starting my small little many fills after I get back from vacation. (I have to wonder if I need them...I'm still throwing up some.)That will be the very end of July. I have been keeping myself very active though. I've been painting the inside of my house, and working in the back yard. We are putting flag stone cement walk ways going here and there , well...just all over the place. I've also been doing a lot of gardening. Every time I have to run to Lowe's for something....I buy more flowers. Have a good day, Terry

When my husband and I first got married he was a master gunny in the marine core. We didn't have a lot of money so we always took our lunches to work with us. One day I made him a panty sandwich for lunch. How did I know that a lot of the men under him ( that he was in charge of) would be having lunch with him. Well....everyone thought it was pretty funny and his men always liked me. I guess its because I was always doing things like that to him. One time I even put a pair of black lace panties on our poodle and took her with me when I went to pick him up from the base. I let her run all around his office in them. We are still doing things like this to each other. We have been married 32 years. Well the sex has slowed down some....but the cute things we do to each other hasn't. I wish you lots of good sex and lots of happy years together.

I was burping all the time too. I went to my doctor and had an exray taken not because of the burping , but because I was having a lot of trouble eating anything. I was afraid that I had slipped. Well nothing was wrong, but the doctor couldn't get over how big of an air bubble I had in my tummy. He asked me if I burped a lot. I said yes all the time. He gave me a complete unfill. I think it was because of not being able to get food down though, not the burping. He did say that the air bubble would go away on its own. I still burp every time I get food stuck....yes I still get food stuck even with no fill; but at least I can eat food and I usually get to keep it down.
