Glad to hear it is over and done with. Now we can all keep you in our prayers that everything will be fine. Get some well deserved rest!

Tears????? Oh no, please don't cry! I was looking at your pictures thinking you must be the ball of the party! Now, dry up those tears and put that beautiful smile right back on your face! By the way, I like the first one!

I can't agree more! I am sure most people on here will tell you the same thing. Please take everyone's advice and call your doctor.

Good luck Lisa! I hope he can help out your port situation! I am sure you and Penni will have a ball!

Welcome to LBT! There is a lot of information here just for taking the time to read it. If you have a question, you can use the search button at the top of the page, or ask and someone will be happy to answer your questions.

Good luck! You'll look like a different person with all that done! Be sure and post some pictures of the before and after when you get back.

Me either! My doctor checks mine every time I go and the full amount is always in there.

Welcome to LBT! Congrats on your surgery date! Please remember to come and post when you get back and let us know how you did.

Michelle - I have felt the same way lately reading some of the posts. I would call my doctor immediately if my band was too tight! Why would anyone want to take a chance of losing their band? I also want to eat like a normal person, not be sick all the time. Just because your band is tight and you can't eat doesn't mean you will lose more weight. Your body will think it is starving and hold on to it, or gain it back as soon as you can eat. People you need to eat normal, only smaller portions! My doctor always tells me each time I get a fill, if you pb call me, it you throw up come in! It is very important to take care of your band, and that means not being overfilled!

Congrats to you! I know you are very excited! It will be here before you know it!

I'll be thinking about you. I'll keep my fingers and toes crossed for good luck! Don't forget to let us know! Hugs!

It depends on me too, I usually eat Breakfast around 6:30 a.m. and then lunch at 12-12:30, and supper 6:00 - 7:00 p.m. I usually don't eat much between those meals, but sometimes I get really hungry (especially mid morning) depending on what I ate for breakfast. If my stomach starts growling I eat a piece of fruit or some yogurt and it takes care of it. I think some of my biggest wanting to eat is at night time, after supper when I want to snack. Now, that isn't hunger it is boredom or watching my DH eating all that junk!

Welcome to LBT! Lots of information and support here!

It's not much of a deal like Tanya said, so try to relax and not worry. After it is all over you will wonder why you were so nervous.

Quite a few of us had problems with it, it's normal. It lasts about 2 months, and it is growing as fast as it is falling out. You think you are going to go bald, but it comes back pretty fast. Mine got pretty thin, but I was the only one that noticed it! If you do a search on it, there are several threads about it.

Welcome to LBT Corinne Join right in the discussion, lots of friendly folks around here.

mmmmmm sounds good!

I used green tea for a while, but couldn't tell any weight loss with it at all.

Good luck! Don't forget to take a before picture so you can show us the before and after!

I've never heard of it either! MY Doctor is very strict about aftercare though.

Welcome to LBT! Glad to have you aboard!

Mine was removed the following morning too!

Welcome back Terry! I have thought about you often! I hope you are back for good now, I missed your smiling face!

My husband (ex) was getting out of the shower one day when my son was about 2 years old, and my son ran out to me and said "Mom, Dad's guts are falling out!" I guess it was the first time he saw his Dad naked! All I could do was laugh! I still tease my Son about that day!

Jenna those pictures cracked me up! I can't get over the black marker one! Those are priceless!
