Donna`s ugly cow killed dogs. GHNOP

I have lost enough weight now that mine sticks out. It always looks a little bruised too. Donna

Hang in there Cotal.You will get there. Right now i am going up and down the same two pounds for several days now. But everything changes sooner or later. Donna

I got all dressed up the other night to go to a xmas party and men at the party were flirting with me. It felt great. I have been invisible for the last three years at least. At least that is how i felt. Now i feel attractive again. I may be 54, but i am still very much alive, and now i feel that way. I am so..... glad i got this band. Who knows i might even start dating again. Never too late!!! Donna

Way to go!!!! Congrats on being at goal! Donna

One of the reasons I got the band is that for me, (and I am only speaking about myself) diet pills are not a good solution. They make me a nervous wreck and as soon as I stop them I re-gain the weight. I can not say what will work for someone else however.Everyone is different. Donna

Congrats Tracy and Roberta. Glad you are both doing well. Welcome to life with the band. Donna

Thanks everyone, and way to go Tonks!! I feel like life is a big adventure again. Love this band.

The evening hours are the hardest for me. I can go all day without eating at all and it does not bother me, but in the evening I always think I need something. A lot of times I get up and go to the gym to keep from snacking. Sometimes i give in and snack,I do try to have healthy snacks. Donna

I think I look younger. Maybe it is because I take much better care of myself now. Donna

Best of luck Bert. Let us know how it goes. Donna

I am 54,divorced, and work as a supervisor in a shelter for abused children. Before that I taught school.I really love to read and to travel. I have one son who is 33 and is in Iraq working on an army base in Taji. I just gained this weight over the last few years, and i am so happy to have this band to help get rid of it. Donna

I have to say I am glad that has not happened to me. Donna

Ladybug--Glad you are doing so well. I have had my band for six months now and i still love mine too.I eat healthy foods now , not junk, and i feel so much better. Donna Bert--Congrats on your surgery tomorrow. Let us know how you do. Donna

I have lost enough that my port sticks out pretty good. I have to be careful to protect it now. Donna

Hang in there shortgal!! You will make it.You are eating a lot less than i am. Donna Dave that must have been a great feeling to look like a new man. Friends keep telling me how good I look and it really feels great. Donna

Before my band I had gotten so fat I took only showers. It was too hard getting in and out of the bath tub. I was really missing long hot bubble baths. Well they are back! It is funny how you start doing certain things again without even realizing it. Like bubble baths, and wearing jeans with zippers. I was soaking in the bubbles today when i realized how much I loved this band. Well I am off to work a double shift at the shelter so Merry Xmas all. Donna:whoo::whoo::whoo:

Hugs, Hugs, Hugs, sounds awful. Did you go to the doc? Donna

I had no second thoughts. I knew it was right for me. I was just very excited and a little nervous about going to Mexico for surgery. But it was all ok. Donna

Thanks, That was great!! Merry Xmas. Donna

Hi! I am 5`3 and i started at 237. I am now 187. It is working great for me Jax. Good luck to you. Donna

I had surgery in Mexico and my fill doc here charges 1100 for one year of blind fills. But i was happy to find someone to do them. It is cheaper than flying back to Mexico every time I need a fill. I loved my doctor in Mexico, he was very nice and took lots of time with me to explain everything.I also love it that Dr. Watkins post here. Love all the info. Donna

Story makes no sense at all. I really do not think it is true. Donna

Sounds like you are doing ok considering your other surgeries. Now that you are better just keep coming to this site for support to help you re-focus. The third fill really did it for me. Best of luck. Donna

Congrats on your surgery. I wish I had a home gym like that. That is really nice. You will find lots of support here. Best of luck. Donna
