Good Luck with the appointment!

Congrats to you! Didn't you also post under another name before? Just thought you looked familiar.

My port is just left of my belly button!

Welcome to bandland Fran!

I'm keeping my fingers and toes crossed for you Michelle!

I just want a little restriction, I am having a hard time right now with no fill. I can eat everything! UGH!

ummmmhuh, that is about all that is on during the day! Which one is your favorite?

Awww Michelle, I was thinking you were doing so much better. Sorry to hear you are still having problems, I am glad you are doing something about it. I will be waiting to hear how you are.

Wow, a man that actually shops! I would have to beat my hubby to go unless it was a "Harley Store"!

I certainly try not to shop on the 24th, but for some reason I always forget something and end up there anyway. You also just reminded me that the cranberries I bought for Thanksgiving is still in my crisper!

You're getting closer with each test!

Thanks Leatha!

Congradulations Grandma! What a precious gift for you right in time for the holidays! Enjoy!

Welcome to bandland!

Fran - Good luck tomorrow, and we will be thinking about you. Post and let us know how you are when you can. It will be over before you know it.

She can't tell you who, because they don't exist! Now she wants to go drinking with you! How old is she anyway????

I think it is a good thing you printed this out, just in case!

Just like I like them, lots and lots of lights! Berry, berry pretty!

I thought I was losing my mind, I went to look at it and it was gone! Then it was back! lol Thanks Penni, I agree there is too much information in this thread for it to be deleted.

You both look fantastic! You have done an amazing job!

Doug - Congratulations on your date! It will be here and gone before you know it! I spent the night at the hospital, and was happy I did! I think if you just discuss this with your wife, and let her answer any questions she has, everthing will be fine. As for the kids going to the hospital, I think you might want to reconsider that, it would be quite a long time for them. Make sure you take a pillow for the ride home, it really does help. I also took some chap stick as my mouth got very dry. I also took some listerine strips to freshen my mouth and help with some of the thirst. Make sure you do a lot of walking, it helps with the gas pains, and sip as much Water as you can. Please post and let us know how your surgery went when you feel up to it. Good Luck!

Great job! Isn't it a great feeling to get rid of those old clothes?

Darcy - I will have to find the name of the one I use, you actually can't tell the difference in the wheat and the white. I'll see if I have a box at home.

Welcome to bandland! Yes, that is normal! Walk as much as you can, it will help with the gas pains. Sip, sip, sip that water! Make sure you follow all your doctors instructions, every doctor is different. Good Luck and keep us posted.

O.K. I need some snack suggestions from you that have been banded for a while. What is good to just snack on? What are some suggestions for taking on a road trip etc.?
