Wow Sue, you look great! I'm glad you found something that works for you.

Good Morning Y'all, Sorry, things have been really hectic for me the last couple of weeks. Hopefully this weekend I can finally catch up with ya! Kat I haven't had a chance to read all the posts, but wanted to let you know that I am thinking about you and DH. There just isn't enough hours in the day for me! Yikes, did I really say that? I mean I don't have time to get it all done! Hmmmmm Anyway, I just wanted to stop in and say hello, let ya know I am still alive and kicking and that I think about you even though I can't be here. I think I need to find a job that I can be on LBT too! Later!

I had to have several fills before I finally got some restriction. Also, remember just because you can eat it all doesn't mean you should. If it's time for another fill, call your doctor.

It's normal, you are wide open when you haven't had a fill. This is the healing time, take it easy, heal up and after you get your first fill, you'll see a difference.

I had problems with mine for about a year wearing anything tight against it.

Welcome back! I'm glad to hear you caught it in time!:biggrin1:

Good things come to those who wait! It really isn't that long to wait, and in the mean time, you can read up and study everything you can about the surgery.:biggrin1:

You forget to put out a burning candle, and your house starts ablaze in the middle of the night. Unable to escape in a timely manner, you burn to death, trapped within your own home. Yikes, I burn candles all the time!

Just popping in for a quickie:D :) Yesterday I posted a real long post, lost it all! Tonight I am working on some problems, then watching the Mav's play, and DH keeps yelling at me to come in there! I need to have some clones made of me! :) :thumbs_up: I haven't had a chance to read the posts so I can't comment on anything said today. I promise to catch up later! Hugs and sweet dreams to all of you!

I agree, to keep rehasing the same stuff is only creating more problems. Let's move on to better topics.

Awwww, you must have really been upset! Good thing you were among friends, they'll only tease you about it for years to come!:confused:

Howdy Y'all! Just stopped to let you know I am still alive and kicking. I have just been so busy I had to ask my DH what day it was yesterday! I will try to catch up with y'all on the weekend. Kat - I think about you and DH daily, my prayers are with you. Keep us posted on how he is doing. Eileen - A party! Heck, I wished I lived closer, I would come and party with ya! Opps, I meant I would come and help you! Enjoy some of your time off today! Hello to everyone else, have a great day!

Congrats to you! Read all you can and keep busy! It will be here before you know it!

I can eat more in the evening too! I eat breakfast, and lunch, but still can eat more in the evening.

I have been lucky, so far I haven't had to give up anything. I do not eat much bread, or rice, but that is only by choice because of the extra calories. Just remember just because you couldn't eat it before doesn't mean you still can't. I find it is a trial and error thing with my band, you just have to keep experimenting because it is so fickle!

Welcome to LBT! It looks like you are doing great!:biggrin1:

Welcome to LBT!

Congrats! Now, that is one great NSV!:biggrin1:

Welcome to LBT and to bandland!

I have my own Harley and I love it! Therefore, Iluvharleys!

I never had a fill that hurt, it is usually done and over with before I know it. Good Luck!

About 4 months out, but it starts growing back in as it is falling out.

Good Morning! I can't post to everyone this morning, but wanted to check in. Kat - Honey my heart goes out to you, I know this is very scary for you, but now days they replace that valve and things are great! I bet you they can go in and replace his too! My DM had one, but by the time they found out she was too old to have it replaced. My prayers are with you, and please keep us posted on him. Something must be in the air for all of us to be having problems with eating. I think I am eating everything that isn't nailed down. I have to stop, and I keep telling myself that but then I eat it anyway. UGH! Eileen - Great pictures Donna - Great pictures of you! You look great! OK, got to run, hugs to everyone!

The first few weeks are more about healing than losing. I think either one of the popcicles would be fine. Yes, I did drink some grape and apple juice the first few weeks. Get some chicken and beef broth, some jello, and some protein drinks. I also drank coffee and tea, and crystal lite, maybe some flavored water. Good Luck!

Good Luck, let us know how you are when you can!
