Momabear, WELCOME to LapBandTalk! I had MY surgery when my kids were 8, 3 and 1 years old. The fear of not being an active parent or possibly dying at a young age due to obesity related problems was a bigger fear for me then having the LapBand surgery. I have never never never regretted having WLS. NEVER! Just wish I wouldve done something sooner. Good luck!

Diane, Maybe we celebrated this moment somewhere else, but did you just hit ONEderland? :biggrin1: as far as the fickle band goes, this happens to me (crazy increase of restriction) a day or two before my cycle. Im keeping up with this thread cause Im interested in trying it too.

My MIL had her stomach stapled a million years ago. She uses the meat tenderizer (Adolphs brand only) when she feels something is "stuck". She said that it works on everything - not just meat. Ive never had the gumption (balls!) to try it.

I HATE this damn dog....

Yes! But it took a while after my second fill for me to be able to do it. I guess I loosened up. ??? I chug water all the time, as long as the water is room temp. If the water is ice cold - then I have to take it slower.

awe Sherri, (((((((((HUGS))))))))) As nervous as YOU are - I bet your guy is dealing with his own issues over all of this. Surgery alone is a big deal, and going to Mexico for it brings it to another level of stress. Hang in there. It'll all be over before you know it.

BUMPING for the evening crew.... I agree with Pat - EVERY woman should watch this video. Thanks Sandy. Amy, how horrible. You know of TWO women that had/have THIS type of cancer? Gosh, its obviously not as rare as people think.

Hi clarityseeker, and WELCOME to LapBandTalk.com Do you know if your insurance will cover it this time? This seems to be the million dollar question around here. Good luck.

Hi Gloria ~ WELCOME to LapBandTalk.com Hope you visit often. :cool:

I have just a plain one. LOVE it, when its lit. But I tend to forget about it. Penni, I dug around on the site and saw that the price of a regular one (Im assuming the one like Roni was talking about, 6-8 inches tall) was only around $35. not bad.

Hey Kim, just remember - you gotta go through Louisiana to get to Texas. :cool: Im ALWAYS open to company - especially those with kiddos! I just dont do pets... I have enough of my own.

Take a walk, call a friend, go to my parents and visit, go to Walmart. I dunno. :cool: What about computer games? Rollercoaster Tycoon is SO addicting, but neat. I have 3 kids, Trish :tired . Very seldom do I ever get bored :tired .

Hey Kelly, Here's a thread that has really good stuff in it about fill levels. There is a link on the very first post (by Penni) that will help YOU determine if you need another fill. Good luck. http://lapbandtalk.com/showthread.php?t=3733&highlight=do+I+need+a+fill%3F
