Hope everything is ok and best of luck . Donna

:rain: It has rained here for two days straight. Need to move this rain to Calif. where they really need it. Anyhoo....I am two pounds from Onderland and i am so excited!!!! I just can`t wait to say i weigh one something instead of two something. YEA!!!!:ranger::whoo::rain:

I have already taken one big bag to the goodwill and i am now filling the second bag. Love it Love it!! Donna

I tried over and over! It was awful!!!!!! lol Donna

Thanks so much everyone. I just love this site, everyone is so nice and supportive. Donna

Let us know how you do. Congrats on your date. Donna

Hey Fluff! Did you get your band?? How are you? let us know. Donna

Welcome guys!!! I think it would be great to do this with a loved one. So much support. Congrats! Donna

I can feel and see mine. Looks a lot better than fat. lol Donna

Try not to worry. This is a healthy change you are making. It is a pretty simple surgery as far as surgeries go. They have you up and walking really quick. I am SO...... glad i had this done. Donna

:ranger::clap2:Welcome to all you new folks. Try not to worry the band does work. It really helps control hunger after you get a fill or two, and even before for some people. It is a great tool. You do have to do your part tho. It is just a lot easier to do. Donna

Ranch You weigh the same thing i did when i got my surgery. You will be amazed how fast it comes off if you follow the docs orders.----Dana , I went to Mexico and it was great. Dr Zapata and his staff are wonderful. Beautiful hospital and hotel. Their hospitals are much nicer than ours. The whole thing, with airfare was 8000. Saved about 10,000. Also no pre-op diet. Donna

Josie, i do miss my peeps....love some peeps. Donna

I wish i could stay at 1000 a day. But i get too hungry when i try that. I eat 1500 to 1600 a day. I go to the gym four to five times a week.I lose one to two pounds a week this way. My problem time is at night in front of the tv. Always was. I am working on this. Donna

My answer is throw it out. It is horrible. Donna

You need to call your doctor and ask him these things. They are all different. I did not even have to do a pre-op diet, but then i went to Mexico. Good luck, Donna

Glad you found us. Good luck with your journey. Donna

I love to travel and i love to read and i do both whenever i want because i am single. I love to go to the movies too. Donna

You do not have a fill yet. That is why you are hungry. Eat sf popsicles. They help and they take a while to eat. It will get better. Donna

If you do not have a fill yet most things pass thru pretty easy. Why not call and ask your doc. if you are worried. Donna

I did not have to do a pre-op diet and i am so glad. I think it would be hard to stay on track without the band. Donna

Weight charts say i should weigh 135 but i think i look good at 150 so that is my goal, maybe a touch less. Some people can carry more than others, so it is an individual thing really. Donna

If it keeps up i would say call your doc. Good luck Donna

Everyone would have to bring their own pb bag. Really fun to watch. Donna

Hi! I am also single and live alone. I went to Mexico for the surgery alone and recovered at home alone. I really had no problems. I took off for three weeks after surgery and i am glad i did. Gave me time to get used to my band and heal. I weighed 237 at the time of surgery and have lost 38 pounds so far. It does not look like i am going to need any PS. No sagging skin yet and i don`t have any strecth marks so i am hoping for the best. Good luck and welcome to the site. Donna
