Okay, I am irritated. We have over 6,400 members on this forum. We have had 109 people come forth with simple data. Why is it so hard to share this information for a good purpose??? All it takes is a few minutes. No explaining, just the facts. And if you didn't want to post, then just PM it. Please.

Well I did go to the doctor yesterday and he has prescibed me the Lunesta. I went to go fill the prescription and even WITH my insurance it is $50!!!! That is only for a month's supply. I know the doctor said I didn't have to take it every night, and that the 30 pills should last about 3-4 months but geeeeeeeeez. I am going to fill the prescription today.

Joining in on the get well hugs!!!! Bikini here you come Kellie!!!

For the love of all that is without hunger, start some mushies.

And I have a friend who did the balloon about a year ago. The balloon ruptured and the "dye" showed up to tell her it was popped. But the actual holding of the dye part, the "balloon", got stuck in the intestines. She had to have surgery for it to be removed. She only had the damn thing for about 2 months. Waste of money in my opinion.

Have another friend who thought seriously about it. Did her research, Then decided against it. She is doing the weight loss on her own and last I heard doing well.

OMG, I did the same thing! My son was born on March 19th but I was in light labor starting on the dreaded IDES!

For different holidays we have a secret friend and we have one person compile a list of names and addresses and buddies up different people. For Christmas, secret santa. For Valentines day, secret cupid. For Easter, Secret bunny... etc etc. She doesn't know it yet, but I am going to lobby for her to do the 4th of July "secret Uncle Sam" lol.

Anyways, we send a gift (around $10-$20 including postage AND delivery confirmation) to our secret person. There is a deadline to send your gift so that they get it before the holiday. We tell them who we are in the gift (a card, a note, etc).

Then we have a Thank you thread for those who want to appreciate their secret friend and announce who they were. Some people take pictures and post them of their gift. At the end, the "master list keeper" usually posts a full list of who had who.

The deadline is today to get involved. Otherwise you will have to wait while I whine, moan and complain and someone takes on the challenge of putting together a list. :hat:

Did I leave anything out?

When I was about 7'ish my mom had a Twix candy bar in the car. I went to eat it but she wanted it and told me it was her "poopy" medicine. It was good tasting but would make you have the "runs" all day long. And to not eat it unless I was "stopped up". I didn't eat a damn Twix bar until I was about 19. And I had no idea why it was in the candy aisle. I never bothered to read the package. I just knew it was chocolate that made you poop. My mom was ROFL when I called her and told her I knew the jig was up when I recommended a Twix bar to a friend who felt "stopped up". I felt like a total ass! And she still laughs about it.

I vote for this thread to be a sticky. Every time someone joins, I look. I love the positive in this thread. So much negative these days it seems. I love that there is a list I can see of what CAN happen.

Here are my stats, but then again, I am much taller than most of you. More to spread around I guess.

I agree, wow. Some of them looked like they were "relieved" of the extremely large hanging breasts, but some of the afters looked absolutely FRIGHTENING! I couldn't imagine.

I was a 42DD before banding and I am a 38 large C/Small D now. I still say wait and see when you are close to goal.

I usually just graze off of the floor if I could. Most people don't even notice me with all the bags they have crammed under the seats.

Anything longer than 2 hours and I start getting nausea from swallowing spit. I am DEFINITELY tighter on the plane. Peanuts and drink? FORGET IT! I make sure I am completely hydrated before getting on it.

Ugh, I have a food sucker thing. I wrestled that damn food sucker thing for months. Now it is sitting in the cabinet and untouched for 2 years now. Goes in the garage sale next week. Maybe ebay. It just doesn't suck and seal right. Damn thing.

Yeppers they can. It can also be considered a DUI (Driving Under the Influence of Drugs or Alcohol).

I just thought this was funny.....

NICE! I sent it to DH (the Science teacher) and he is going to show it to his Earth Science class. He says "thanks!"

tupperware and Pampered Chef are my favorite friends!!

((sigh)) still in awe over illude's weight loss. This is the type of post I needed lately.

WAY TO GO 100+ CLUB!!!

I have a similar, yet different issue too. I have lost 60 lbs and I DO see a difference in the actual clothing size and people DO say they notice it.... My problem is that I JUST DON'T SEE IT! I feel like I look as fat as I did the day of the surgery. So I can understand that it may be frustrating. Just keep hanging in there and hope it all gets better soon. I know that no one seemed to notice my loss and then all of a sudden people were "wow" and "whoa" at me. And I just look at them like their nuts. Whoa what? I dont see a thing!

Holy crap, you paid WHAT?!??! for the surgery? I hope that is a typo. $45k????

I was lower BMI and I think the last 20# is the hardest to lose. The first 1/2 was a breeze. Now, fat is being stubborn.

Wow, she is up and ready to go!!! Now that is what I call excitement! Hope all goes well and you are on your way to a speedy recovery soon!

Bumping again so that it goes to the top of the list. I watch this thread VERY closely and I think the information is very useful.

I want to remind everyone that if they do not want to post, please PM Dawg your information and he will keep it private and just use the informatin for the statistics he is gathering.

Come on everyone. Last day to get your names on the list for the Secret Bunny exchange!!! Don't forget to PM Kimber-lilly your address!

Wow, I don't know if any of us had our surgery for $6k. I think the lowest price you will find is around $8k.

Can you possibly finance the rest?
