Brandi, Did you ever get morning sickness??? I want one more but I am so scared of the throwing up.

I live in Lakewood and I never heard of him. I actually had my surgery with Dr. Kuri.

I would love to meet everyone, I already have a monthly meeting in Orange County with a lot of women that were banded by Dr. Kuri and it helps to motivate you. You talk to people who are at there goal or close to there goal and Isee the final results and want to look like them.

I eat until I am satisfied, I also try to eat alot of Protein but I am not 100% following the rules. I really don't eat allot since my last fill on 07/16 but drink alot of Water and "Glaceau Vitamin Water" it is so good. I can eat allot better this week but I worked slowly with this fill since the last fill was bad (to tight and I couldn't eat) this time I did liquids for a few days then mushies they solids like the 4 or 5th day!

I think your just not a your sweet spot yet. When I had surgery (01/07/05) I lost 13.5 pounds from day of surgery to 6 weeks later. 1st fill (02/19/05)I lost 4 pounds. 2nd fill (9 weeks later 04/22/05) I lost 18 pounds (that was a good one). 3rd fill (12 weeks later 07/16/05 I have lost 7 pounts so far and its just been 2 weeks. I think it takes alot of time but you will eventually lose the weight!! Hang in there!!

I live in Lakewood and would love to meet with anyone!!!

Wow how exiting, I wish you and your new bundle of joy alot of happiness and health!! Please post how it is like to be banded and pregnant!!

The problem I had when I was heavier was that I was embarrassed to be seen by my boyfriend of 2 years but I have always been very active and now that I am thinner, oh my gosh has it gotten better. My problem now is that my stomach is getting very giggly and I am hidding it again!!! Ay can't win!

What did your supervisor do to fix this problem?? Are they not aware you can sue for "Verbal abuse", I think this is a big problem and she needs to be written up!!!

I had a chicken breast with cottage cheese and a small side salad (I need a fill because I can eat more than normal).

My question is I know that for a tummy tuck it’s probably better to wait until I no longer want children, but for a boob job (with implants) should I also wait until I am done having kids or will a pregnancy affect what they look like after wards. I know there is a lot of young people that have lost a large amount of weight and then had plastic surgery, do you regret getting it before children? Did it affect what you looked like afterwards? Should I wait for a boob job also??? I have so many questions, please help!!!

Jane, I love the way you did your daughters party, you are a great mom!!!! And your NOT FAT!

Estela, I am so happy for you, I will be praying for you and good luck with your new body!!! Please keep me posted I will be thinking about you!

Paula, I dont know how to do the new aviator??? Penni want to help me again?? Here is a before picture of me I am the one in black, I have never posted before pictures of me!!

Here is a picture of my sisters, my niece and myself. The one with my two boys we just took on Saturday for a 6/18, I am down 35 pounds. Thanks Penni!!!

Wow, your are doing so great, I am so jealous I want all that platic surgery done on myself when I get to my goal. One question, if your boobs were big and now they are smaller and sagging will the doctor just use implants to put them back up??? I was a 44D before my surgery (243.5) and now I am a 40C (208) my goal is still 48 pounds away will I need a left also or will implants be enough to help with the sagging???

Gaynor, 47 pounds wow thats great. I was banded on 01/07/05 and I am down 34.5 pounds!! Keep up the good work!!

Estela, I talked to you a while back about your upcoming surgery, why did you cancel it??? I was so excited for you, but hey it gives you a chance to lose the rest of your weight and you'll be even lighter after your surgery!!

Well I have been doing pretty good, what's hard is I am and Engineering Secretary during the day and a waitress at a Mexican Restaurant at night and the food it talking to me, yesterday I ate a ground beef soft taco and a small side of rice (I left the tortilla from the taco) but I drank tons a Water before bed so I would'nt get heart burn at night (I am a single mom and I need to make ends meet). I am actually going for a fill on Saturday because I feel I eat to much.

I really know how hard a break up is I just went through one last week, but hey I am a true believer that "Everything happens for a reason". I was with him for 2 years and it wasnt working out, he said that I expected to much from him, oh and also he wanted kids and I already had 2 and I don't want any more!! Good luck Penni!! Thanks for your phone number I will be giving you a call!

Good luck Penni everything will go good for you because your a good hearted person!!

Chicagoboy: I wasn't selling them I was actually giving them away. I bought these weeks before my surgery and I hardly ever wore them. alatina: you were the first person to e-mail me and tell me you were interested! I will take the cloths to the cleaners by Friday and try to mail it to you by Monday. (I work from 7am - 4pm & 5pm -9pm Tues - Thurs so I wont make it till Friday). Thanks everyone for responding, I will post when I have more cloths available!!

Hi everyone, I have 2 fairly new 42D Lane Bryant bras that no longer fit me and I would love to give them to anyone who cares to have them. I also have 3 size 20 Lan Bryant dress pants that I use to wear to work. Any one interested please e-mail me. I wore both the pants and the bras about 3 or 4 times and I out grew them!!

I started at a size 22 but alot of that cloths I took to the Salvation Army. I am a size 18 and can't wait to be smaller. It is taking a long time but I rather lose slowly and know it's not coming back!!

I have one pm from alatina but I am not sure if she wants both the (3) pants and the (2) bras. one bra is cotton white (cleavage enhancer with a wire) the other is lacy black (cleavage enhancer with a wire) they are all dress pants: black with thin dark blue lines black with thin beige, brown and black lines burgandy with thin pink and beige lines I will inform you if alatina wanted them all if not you could have them!!!
