Use of Profanity - do moderators check this
DonHoll1 replied to SpecialK's topic in Website Assistance & Suggestions
It does not bother me at all. I don`t think there are any children on this site. I would say if one thread bothers you , just go to another one. The only thing that bothers me is when people attack one another. When i see that i go to another thread. Donna -
Randon Preop Questions
DonHoll1 replied to poodlecamper's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I have lost 47 pounds so far and do not have any problems with saggy skin. Hope it stays that way. I lost in my wrists and fingers both, everywhere really. I don`t think the tea will be a problem. Crystal lite is my new fave drink. Let us know how you do and welcome to the board. Donna -

I still have shoulder pain and it gets pretty bad sometimes. I have been told that is is caused by nerves that get damaged during the surgery. They are healing and it is painful. That makes sense to me , but i sure wish it would get better. It has been four and a half months now. Donna

Hang in there. It really will get better. Donna:ranger::grouphug:

doctor said my port is too deep to reach to have a fill
DonHoll1 replied to mommalois59's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
This is the first time i have heard of it, but i am pretty new.I do know the more weight you lose, the easier it is to find. Best of luck, Donna -
I always believed it would work. I am very glad it has. Donna

Wanted a fill. Doc said no. I'm HUNGRY
DonHoll1 replied to mybabydaddy's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I don`t think i am ever really hungry anymore. When i eat now it is just because i think i should or i am bored.I am trying to teach myself if you are not hungry you do not need to eat. Donna -
I have gotten three fills. Probably did not really need the last one. I was really tight for a while. Now i have lost a couple of pounds and it is not so bad.I probably will not get any more fills for several months. PS if you are losing weight , your clothes get loose. Sorry can`t help myself, former teacher.

It will not be too much longer before you can have some beef. Just make sure it is tender. I love it too and i still eat steak. Donna

DonHoll1 replied to AngelSoftSnow's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Welcome to all the new people. Congrats on your dates. You might want to have some chicken and beef broth in the house for when you get home. Donna -
I paid 8000 in Mexico and that was with the airfare. Everything included. Was very happy with the doctor. Donna

I tried to take it . I had really bad side effects. I had a lot of stomach problems and other problems as well. Sorry but i can not remember what they were. (maybe memory problems LOL) I went back to lexapro. Very few side effects to this one for most people according to my doctor. I do remember that my problems with Cymbalta were bad. Who knows though, it might work great for you. Donna

Danger! Wife Nearly Died From Surgery
DonHoll1 replied to tallywag's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
So sorry this happened to your wife. How is she now? My surgery went fine and i have had no problems. Donna -
Welcome to all of you! Glad you are doing well. Donna

I have been a little sad too. I think it is saying goodbye to all my comfort foods.I really miss some of them. I bought a donut today. The first one since my surgery. I could not finish it and i do not really feel too bad about getting it. Sometimes you just need a bite of something sweet.Before i would have had four or five donuts. Progress, not perfection. I went to the gym later and worked it off. Donna

Am I the only bandster not losing?
DonHoll1 replied to Liz1531's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Even before my first fill i lost really good. Just having the band in helped reduce hunger for me. I also write down every thing i eat.It helps me not to get carried away I go to the gym at least four times a week. often times five. You really have to help the band work. Hope this helps some. Also i do drink a lot of water. Best of luck.
