To Bitteroldhag, You are a hoot! I can totally relate to the Mother stuff. Mine is gone now but she weighed 85# most of her life and was always saying "if you would just eat like I eat you wouldn't have a weight problem". Now I live with my daughter. I read your note to her and told her she would be a bitter old hag soon from taking care of me. She said "you better learn how to take care of yourself". So don't apologize, keep grumping. I love it.

My 2nd fill is tomorrow. I have gained about 4# since the first fill. I can't blame it on anything except myself. I have been on a total junk food binge. This is something even a fill wouldn't stop...like the 2 bismarks I gobbled up yesterday morning. Why do I do this to myself?

Wearing anything around my neck drives me crazy.

Oh, I made a mess of that! Hope you got the drift. Meanwhile welcome to our group! Read all the info you can from the informative forums like "how the lapband works" Good luck. Stay in touch.

Well I think you should make an apt. with one of those 2 Dr.s and gbecause every Dr is different. He should be able to dirrect you to a seminar if he requires one. If you don't havfe to go to one, you can get just as much info on hereet your answers from him

Oh, please give the other guy a chance. It will make it easier to forget the jerk guy.

I think you should call in sick tomorrow. Rest, take your pain meds and don't push yourself. It takes a few days to feel like you are back to normal.

Hi Serenissima, I'm the same age age you and had my surgery on Oct 28. You have done much much better than I have. I'm getting my 2nd fill tue and hoping it will do something for my ferocious appetite. Welcome to our group!

WELCOME. Do you have any restriction? It sounds like you might need some. Sharon

Actually I think the 2006 Oct group choose that name and we are using it too> I'm wondering if our group of 2007 banders should have a new name or does it really matter. It's so easy to find ua now with the new home page. Sharon

OK. I guess it doesn't matter at all since we can find our group on the home page now.

I am so sorry you lost your beloved kitty. I also think there is another little sweetheart in a shelter somewhere that needs a Mommy to love and entertain. You can't replace Marcel but you can honor him by getting another kitty.

Good morning everyone. I'm ashamed of myself today. Last night I found the Christmas candy I hid from myself and I ate a whole lot of it. why why why do I do that? I feel angry because I don't have any restriction and that makes me feel rebeliuos. How stupid. I'm not hurting anyone but myself. Sometimes I'm so disgusted with me. I still can't bring myself to throw out all that chocalate and carmel and nut combinations. Right now it doesn't even sound good, but I know at bed time I will be craving it again. I just have to make myself get rid of it.

Oh, girls. Just wait till you get in your 60s!

I have a cpap too. I've had it for 5 yrs and I can't sleep without it. I never had a problem with it. I guess I was afraid of dying or having a stroke in my sleep. So I'm nerved up if I don't have....like if I decide to take a little nap.........can't unless I go to bed with the cpap. Today I got a new mask. Actually nose pillows instead of a mask. I'm anxious to try it out.

It sounds like surgical pain. Take your pain meds so you can cough and deep breath. Remember they do a lot of poking around in there. It's bound to hurt some.

I have never had any pain around mine. I didn't even know where it was until my 4 week check up when I asked. He said it was stitched in place in the muscle. It just never hurt .

Did you look at the before and after pics? That alone should help you decide.

...<p>I live in Baraboo which is close to WI Dells...Somewhat northwest of Madison (about 50 min.) It actuallly hailed that day. But today the sun was out for awhile. I had my surgery in Madison Oct 28. How about you?</p>

Good morning from Wi where we finally have some sun today. We have had rain, dense fog, hail, thunder and lightning, and even tonadoes in the past week so this sun is heaven sent. I'm anxiously awaiting for my 2nd fill next tue. Praying for some restriction. I'm just as hungry now as I was before surgery. Wombat, you came so close to making goal. Hope I can do as well.

Good morning. I'm so glad people are finding this site that Alex was kind enough to set up for us. Hi Gene. Good to "see" you again. Sad to say I haven't lost anything for a couple months. Get another fill next tue so there is hope.

WOW! What an inspiration. You both look sooo gooood!

Oh, it's not just a teacher thing I'm a nurse and I feel exactaly the same. And then when I got my first fill, he only put in 1cc and I still have no restriction!

How about just getting some frozen meals like South Beach or weight watchers or lean cuseine? Just pop in micro wave.

I'm so sorry JC. I don't know what else I can say. My prayers are with you.
