Wow, can you tell us how it was improperly placed? I can't imagine going through surgery and finding out it was placed wrong.

Now that's what I call getting double exercise!

I usually stay swollen for a few days after a fill, and then it goes away. Can you drink water? Make sure you really chew, chew, chew.

Nancy, I am so happy you have found a new dog, and one that needed a home too.

It sounds like you are doing great even without that treadmill! Here's wishing you a speedy recovery!

Good for you! You are on your way to a better life. It sounds like you will be busy, so the time will fly by for you.

I felt panic! I almost put them all back into my closet! lol After cleaning out my closet which was stuffed, I now only have a few items hanging in it, and they are probably too big too, but they are summer things and I kept them so I would have something to put on. I bagged up three bag fulls and took them to Galvaston to our get together. Boy, I was so nervous getting rid of them. But, after it was all over, I felt good about it. I knew it was the first step in realizing I would never need them again. Now, as soon as something is big on me, I give it to someone that can use it, I don't want it anymore!

I hope you have a great one!

Congradulations Willpower! You too have been waiting for a long time! I guess I'll do the happy dance for both of you today! :banana :banana :banana :banana :banana :banana

Whooooo Hoooooo!!!! I am so happy for you! You have been waiting for a while to hear this! :banana :banana :banana :banana :banana :banana

That date will be here before you know it! Good luck and we'll look forward to hearing how you did!

Sounds like you both are doing great, and it only gets better every day.

Welcome to Bandland! It sounds like you had an easy time of it! Just don't overdue now, you just had major surgery, take it a little easy!

Good Luck Alex, I hope it helps you!

I ride my Harley of course! We belong to a hog chapter and we have meetings and rides with them, and DH and I do lots of traveling on our bikes too. We like to fish, we live about 10 minutes from the lake so we go down there alot. We live in a cul-de-sac and we have the neatest neighbors and we all get together for Bbq's all the time (about every weekend in the warm weather). I work outside the home everyday. I do lots of gardening as I have flowers everywhere! I love hummingbirds, and I collect them as well as feed the live ones. I also have a pond right outside my front door that has fish in it. I read some of the other lapband boards on the internet when I have extra time.

Sometimes anything warm helps me! :eek I use all kinds of different brands, if I like the flavor or it sounds good, then I try it. Sometimes I just want the old black tea with a little coffee mate and sweetner, other times I do the Ice tea!

I had one, they fixed it during my surgery! I had no problems with it at all.

I hear lots of people drink ice coffee Paula, I have never tried it though.

Mmmmmm that sounds so good. Maybe try some Crystal lite or some sugar free Koolaid on them too.

Good for you! Keep after them! Good Luck, keep us posted!

Congrats Pat! You are doing great! That is so neat that they do that for you!

Wannabe - It is only natural for you to be nervous. Try to relax, it will be over before you know it. Good Luck, and please post and let us know how you're doing when you are able.

These are all good ones!

I've been tempted to try one, but haven't. Maybe it all should cost that much, then we wouldn't even want one!

Good luck and please post and let us know how it went. I have never had any thing like that done, so no advice here but sending my prayers to you!
