Congrats and Best Wishes for your upcoming surgery!!! Let us know how it goes.

I didn't even know what with plication meant until reading it on one of these forums. I kinda wish my doctor offered that to me. Maybe then my stomach wouldn't feel like a bottom-less pit..lol...

Well that's awesome that you are doing fine without a fill. I love the lap band, because if you need the fill you can get it, but if you don't and are doing fine on your own then you don't need to get a fill.

Why no fill? Your doing an excellent job! 27 pounds is something to be proud of.

Lol... I didn't even associate plate with food. I understood what you meant, but when you said odd analogy I bursted out laughing thinking of what it sounded like. That was a good one Linda. I had my anniversary on June 4th and it went nice. I weighed myself the next day and I'm down to 253. I wish it was more, but it is what it is and I haven't walked in the last few days. Can't wait to be moved and have less stress, hopefully.

That sucks that you have to start a new med, but hopefully that does bring you closer to getting the lap band. I know you want the lap band and I'm sure you will get it no problem, but try not to stress out on it to much. I know easier said than done, but the stress is not good for your blood pressure. Keep your head up Linda and remember you have already started the journey just by inquiring about the surgery. Best wishes to a brighter day today

Your welcome

So glad to hear your hanging in there and doing such a great job. Looks like you get to progress your diet and get a fill a day after I get my fill. I will have to post how my fill goes, please post how yours goes. Thanks so much for your words of encouragement and your right my kids do need me healthy. I'm inspired by your determined self and it makes me want to work harder at my diet. Thank You!!!

Thanks. Your words of encouragement and just having you to talk to has helped me tremendously.

It was hard. I do all the shopping to, but I was extreme couponing and had built up a stock pile of all kinds of goodies. Now I have stopped couponing since we are moving next month and we don't really have anything bad in our house. That's good your husband is not a snacker, mine is
