Hello, Today I have good hopes. I got a letter from my Ins. Co. saying they approve me for getting my lapband replaced. Now I just need this hole to heal. Once it does I am in! I just hope everything is okay with my band. I would hate to wake up without a band. I also went to my Gyno. this week and I might have Polycystic Ovary Syndrome. I went and had an ultrasound test done and I will find out Aug. 2 (Wed) the results. I hope everything will be okay. I seem to say that a lot. My husband might be losing his job, The company he works for just isnt what it is anymore. I am trying to stay calm about it all. But his mom might hire him, and even though I have my own mean thoughts about her I will be on his side on what ever he goes for. I know I need to go work soon. I am scared to a little bit.. I havent had a real job in a very long time and I just feel werid about going back out there again. I think I will be able to handle it.. Grab the Bull by the Horns sorta speak LOL Well I will be back soon to let you know how my test results go.

Well today I still sit with a hole in my tummy, having to pack it everyday gets so fustrating. But I know that I am not the only one who has gone through this. I want to say everything is going good, well I guess I can say it is, because it sure isnt getting worse. I guess that is a blessing. I pray for the day this will all end and I will be normal again. I want to be able to take a shower for more the 5 min. To be able to let the warm water slapsh over my tummy without plastic all over. Sorry if I sound like I am feeling sorry for myself. I'm really not, I just talk about my feeling over all. I still have not lost any weight, I dont even weight myself anymore... I'm pretty scared to see what that scale would say. But hey, I might be suprized... who knows, but right now im not ready. I really dont have much restriction at all so I can eat just about anything. Sometimes I do get stuck though, On breads or solid read meats. I dont know what I would being I have a leak in my band, and no port. I try to becareful about what I eat, but it is so so so hard. I guess thats why I got the band in the first place. I am still Knitting and Crocheting it helps my days go by. I am making a blanket I think it will take me a very long time but It will all be worth it. I started making doilies too... I never use to like them but now I love them, how funny is that.. lol I guess I like them more now that I can understand what goes in to making one. well I hope everyday gets better and better... I am looking forward to the greener grass!

Oh boy it has been so long since I have wrote in here. Well it is about time I catch up. Well my hole is about healed up, It is still about 1in deep. Which to me is a lot (since its my own tummy i guess) But coming from 6in deep 3in wide hole:eek: gots to be so much better. I go and see my wound Dr. on Thursday July 13th I think will be proud of my healing prosses. I have not heard from my Band Dr. or the Nurse, maybe they forgot about me who knows. Maybe the hope I forgot about them LOL Anyway I am trying my hardest to hang in there. I have been getting heart burn almost everytime I eat... which I am so scared as to know why this is happening... I hope my band is doing okay.. I have had it for 15 months now, maybe I should go and get an endo done to make sure everything is okay. My eating habbits seems to go back to normal. I eat so much and its all junk! I cant help it, I feel my band its working with me I shouldnt work with it... you know that feeling... Well maybe I should try a diet or something! UGH I HATE DIETS!!! Thats why I got this dang band in the first place! Gosh I want to get mad... but I cant I have to be strong and know one day just one day all this will end, I will have a new band and I will start to lose weight! I really need to I just turn 30 and I feel like im 80... I barely can walk... I cant breathe at times, I wake of all of a sudden gaspping for air. I cant live like this, I cant put my hubby thourgh this. If this band doesnt work for me I will have to look at my other opptions! For now... I am praying my band is okay.. and I really want it to work for me, I just got to keep my head up and my heart strong!!!!!!!!

I got my gift!!! Thank you Greta (Iziksmom) I loved everything... Here is a picture of it. The little purple band hanging off the book, says Banded and Bueatiful

I just started to take up knitting... I dont know how to make much but between that and my ceramics it is keeping me pretty busy. I am trying to teach my self to crochet but it seems so much harder. Also I only know how to do the knit stitch I havent learned to purl yet. Its just so much fun! So do any of you Knit or Crochet?

Thank You everyone. Paula, whats this gran-kids??? Susan, they said it should be healed in about a month.. Im not getting my hopes up though. But once it is healed.. I will go for surgery right away!

Susan, 2nd degree burns are pretty bad too... As long as you are doing okay. I have posted my wound on here under "Green is Good?" thread if you have the stomach to see them.

Well right now I dont have an infection... but I got my port removed due to infection.. LOL say that 5 times really fast ha ha ha Anyway as soon as I am heal up then I will get band leaky band replaced. This port infection had nothing to do with my leaky band. You know once I get my band replaced, with everything I have been thourgh I will be one heck of a bandster LOL

Hey everyone! I just wanted to drop in and say HI... I miss you all very much! I havent been here in a while because I just cant keep up at times. LOL anyway I think I will stop in and say hi every so offten if you dont mind. I am doing okay, my wound is not healing but I know it will soon. And my Birthday was wonderful.. Glad to share a birthday day with you Mary!! hope your day was great! Well I hope to find you all well. and I will be back in soon to gabble! You all take care love ya and miss ya (((((((((((((hugs))))))))))))))

I need help.. I am making a Afgan and I need to know how many yards are in a Skein? I looked online and saw everything between 8 yards - 230 yards.... thats a big gap.

Yes he was fired... and there are some really nice AOL reps out there. But there are also so many other companies that have mean people working, not just AOL. Plus some of the people that call into AOL are really really rude, and AOL employees have to take it. I dont think its a great way to live and work, but thats where this world is at. Mean people on the phone on the road in stores and resturants. They are all over!

I thought Johnson and Johnson made the Inamed band.... Im not sure, I know my brother works for Ethicon (johnson and johnson co.) and He said they are making all the tools to install the lap band there and another ethicon is making the Inamed band.. Maybe it is a diffrenet brand and he didnt know.

Happy Birthday Mary! I hope you had a wonderful day!

WOW What a suprise! Thank You all!!! I had a wonderful day. Thanks again (((((((((((((hugs)))))))))))

I am so bored tonight. My husband is at work working over time. I am at home with a clean house, so clean it sparkles. So what now... Hmmmmmm I cant work right now, until this dang hole heals up.

Im sick of sitting in the bath with bubbles, heck I cant even let the water touch my tummy, how boring is that. Okay so Girls... okay Guys can join in too... What do you do when you are bored... and Please dont say I get on LBT.. LOL Yeah I know thats where I am now.. but come on... Lets gabble!!!!
