After 4 years the band is coming out1
IndioGirl55 replied to LAEXGORDITA's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Sorry for your struggles w/your band - Maybe surgeon not the actual band was your problem.. Hope you get well soon I'm 4 yrs out and no issues - little heart burn now and then - nothing a tums doesn't take care of - lost 114 lbs and have maintain that loss for 3 yrs now. But the band didn't lose the weight - I did - it's only a tool and you have to maintain that tool and follow the rules for it to work. If you don't want complications ck your surgeon - follow the rules - that being said - sometime crap happens.. -

long term bandsters, question for you
IndioGirl55 replied to Rachel412's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Too tight - sweet spot - is diff for everyone.. But never ever be too tight it's bad for your band/stomach... I don't think you are too tight - you just aren't - you just don't know when to stop eating yet - it takes a while - hell i'm 4 yrs out and sometimes I still take 1 bite too many #1 imho - I wouldn't be eating the wrap - I would eat the insides but not the toritlla/bread whatever it's made with. Eat pt first - If you can eat 3-4 oz of pt and be full that's good - if you are hungry in a few hrs have another oz of pt - or another healthy snack. Drink your Water between meals - alot of times what we preceive as hunger is thirst. -

Any July 2011 Bandsters?
IndioGirl55 replied to LisaB68's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Good Luck Peeps - I'm a July Bander too ;0) 7/07 - 4 yrs this month Your band is a great tool - use it wisely - make the lifetime lifestyle change in your eating and exercise habits and you will succeed.. 52 when banded 250 lbs - today 56 and 136-139 lbs - feel 10 yrs younger - have 100% more energy.. I lost the majority of my weight in the 1st yr (105 lbs) then lost the rest in the next few months.. I have never dieted - I eat healthy - I exercise - I kept a food diary the 1st yr - counting calories & pt grms - I also weighed and measured my food till I learned what a 1/4 looks like or 4 oz of meat.. Prayers for a safe surgeries & speedy recoveries for all of you.. -

We (Linda - Denise - Phyl - Me - Candice) are all 4 yrs out this month... Since we are the OG Lucky #7's !!!! So how do we stand.... Janet 7/17/07 - 250lbs - 7/7/11 - 138lbs = 112 lbs lost and maintained for 3 yrs - fluctuation between 136-139 Phyl Candice Linda Denise There should be a law that you can't profit from a story - but I guess since she wasn't found guilty the law wouldn't apply - it's up to us peeps to boycott anything she does - but if she's smart (which she isn't) she would dye her hair blond - get blue contacts and move to Alaska and change her name - cuz I don't think she safe or will ever have a life using her real name and looks - who would have anything to do w/her - she will be living in her own prison for a few yrs anyway - till pple forget -

Good Evening Peeps Been a long long weekend - Saturday house cleaning - helping moving - couch - Sunday 4 a.m phone call Andrew went around corner hit water slid into curb with right wheel - car broke - (drinking ??? he swears no - the pple he's with wouldn't let him dd but who knows the real truth - I want to beleive he's not lieing but again I'm 56 not 16 - they were coming home from Del Taco) so I was up at 4 a.m. pissed off to say the least - well before I could call tow company (figured I would wait til 8) the sheriff is calling and had car towed - in fire lane - We this is all on Sunday the day I'm suppose to go to concert - in Hemet - well we still went - that was a total trip waiting in line for hours - totally unorigizines - we were crowded like cattle.. - then we left early - still took 1.5 hr to get on the road.. Temptations & 4 Tops free concert never again got home stayed up til 2 it was a long day.. Yesterday slept in - gf Ann came over - bbq ribs - visited till 9 -- then this morning had to run around and get car out of impound and towed to shop to get fixed.. Linda - 7/11 is Melissa surgery day @ 8 a.m. Candice WTG on your gig - congrats... Afgan don - colors green rust gold - will take pic this weekend. Phly - Yep the verdict isn't what it should be- cause I believe she knows what happen - but they did not prove that she killed her - the system did work - there was no evidence that Casey did it - there was a dead child and Casey lied her ass off - but that doesn't prove that she killed her child - again - I think she did - but there was no evidence that she did - so if you leave the emotional issue out and go on the actual evidence - they did not prove beyond a reasonable doubt that she did it - God will be her judge.. Karma will get her Denise - it's hot here too and humid but not as bad as what you get Well it's 8:30 - need to go eat cbl -
