lo2us.. i THINK my debit card was copied, I didnt lose it, but someone went to the texarkana ark walmart and did five transactions of 2400.00 out of my checking. Two right in front of my eyes online! I was looking at my account and saw it happening. !!! I am still fighting it. I PRAY the bank returns the money to me. As of now, I am overdrawn and "BROKE". Didnt believe it would happen to me. I am not sure of the exact place it was copied... I have my suspicions that it was a nice itallian resturant. But.. I dont think I will ever know where it happened, I use my debit card everywhere, even mcdonalds drive thru. BE CAREFUL. I had 1/2 the fill taken back out this morning. I am soooo much better now, still tight but I think this is where I should be now. Yesterday was horrible. Lost two pounds over it. i am sure that will come back tomorrow. LOL. Happy thanksgiving and watch your purse, etc especially in the grocery store buggies !

I did the same thing, yesterday had my second fill. Started foaming about after i left the office, but i didnt go back. NOW I have to go back today, wish I would have gone back right then. I cant get liquids in, a sip or two and that is it. I didnt want to get any out ! I regret it now. Going in this morning to get some out. Give yourself a least 15 minutes or so after you drink and eat the cracker after the fill. I left too quickly.

lisa... i went to the police today, he told me there are about 3 or 4 people a week coming in saying the same thing... The thief actually got more out, total 2400.00. I am scared to death to use my debit card in a resturant again !

okay.... I will call them, I guess if you are going in tomorrow someone will be there ! I HATE to get any out!!! Maybe he wont take too much out... Dang, I was soooo excited about being tight LOL

thanks lisa. I hope in the morning i will be a bit better. This is wierd to feel like this. Did you get better the second day or did you go get some out? I wish I had asked if they were going to be in the office tomorrow or even friday ! Dumb on my part. I can take one sip but I do feel it in my throat! Three sips and I am losing it ! Thanks for your advice. I know to drink something warm in the morning, maybe that would help tonight too?? Yes, yea on the restriction, but I dont want to get dehydrated and be starving! LOL.

p>Hey! Yes, congrats on the pin lisa. It was a nice meeting and great to meet you. I dont care if everyone knows me. I got my fill early this morning.....:help: and I might should have told the dr that i was too tight. I can barely get a couple of sips down, trying to slime? Is this normal the first day of the fill? This is my second fill. I felt the water in the office but then i ate the cracker and i thought i was fine, left. THen... felt like I was going to slime about 5 minutes after I left their office. I dont want to go back to get any out if this is just temporary. Any advice???? Will tomorrow get better or should i go back and get some out??????? Thanks ! Glad to be getting restriction and no hunger today !!

So... where are the updates from everyone??? How is everyone doing? I a get my second fill tueday. Just in time for thanksgiving. I am getting hungry as a bear so I will be glad to get it done. I eat the 100 calorie Snacks, LOVE THEM Happy Thanks giving. Anyone know of any GREAT prn CNA's in the mt pleasant/texarkana area, let me know !

mizboo... who did the surgery if you dont mind me asking! Definitely need to save up alot of money. My tummy already looks bad due to so many abd surgeries. Would love to get it looking better! I am happy for you. I cant wait until my second fill tuesday! THAT should be perfect timing fo thanksgiving. If I can have a few bites of dressing I will be thankful. :hungry: Hope to be at the mp meeting monday night! See you there. That is if I dont get another late night admission . Happy thanksgiving

tell us more.... how much did the tummy tuck cost??? I have never seen a price on here. WAY TO GO !!! You gotta be on cloud nine now wish412. WOO HOO

moved my ticker.... YEA... 1 pound at a time but better than gaining !!! WOO HOOO have a great weekend everybody:whoo:

hello. I MISSED the support meeting, had a late night admission to hospice, I cant believe I had to miss another one. I am going to try to go to the one in MP. That of course means I have to stay late in mp for the meeting. I cant keep missing them, i dont want to pay for my fills. I go next tuesday for my second fill ! yea. have a GREAT week.

tkanks sugarbear... i was going tonight !

So... I guess the support meeting is tomorrow night in Texarkana? I plan to be there...finally. See you then !

renewed hope... i live in texarkana, just started working at a hospice in mt pleasant though. What type of nursing are you doing?

good luck munchkin! I cant wait for my second fill. The losing is slow now but I do feel so much better. Cant wait to be slim and healthy! We will be healthy nurses !

amy.... you look great! Hope to be down like you soon. Christmas is my big goal date!

welcome all nurses and angels in training, I am from East Texas. Getting really hungry now, ate a whole mcRib, and it was great but I wish I would have felt full before I finished it !! :faint:I will keep on trying ! All the nurses I work with want the lapband too

My doc wouldnt tell me how much he put in the band. He just said "the appropriate amount and remember this is not about restriction but rather that you can eat smaller amounts and go 4-5 hours without feeling hungry. Some days I am starving ! Lots of will power is right ! But... I am doing it pretty good, just keep reminding myself not to overstretch the upper pouch and that scares me to eat less.

Sugar Bear -Healthcare Express on Richmond Rd beside Sherwin Williams is where I take my family when I need to get them in right away. I know most of the docs and nurse practioners. They are great, wont order expensive test unless necessary ! Hope it is nothing. Glad you can get up and down better now too. My next fill is just before thanksgiving ! Probablly for the best, I love dressing sooooo much. Happy Halloween everyone, we are doing the trunk or treat in Redlick at Redlick Methodist Church. Lots of fun. Be safe everyone, if you are near Redlick, Come on over !

I didnt drink until after my dr took the needle out. I drank sips of water then I ate a pb cracker and waited to see if it was okay and I left. I get fills every 6 weeks unless I dont need it then wait another 6 weeks.

thanks lisa, I might see you at one of the meetings. I was wondering if this site had crashed ! I couldnt get on here all weekend. I bought a pair of spanx online, a little dissappointed with it, it was just a pair of hose that is shorter. I like it but I thought it could have been cheaper. The band still rolls over my big tummy ! But.. it does get rid of panty lines but so does the legg panty hose with the built in panty. Oh well, guess I was hoping for a miracle !! LOL. The job is stressful so far, learning everything and meeting so many new people. Have a good week, sat I made it to onderland but then gained it back sunday. I am not counting sunday since I had a fish fry for my dads birthday and I ate a little bit of everything. I was hoping all the running around and cooking might burn some of that away :faint: oh yea... the BOX.. Will try better this week.

I might have to go to the mt pleasant meeting sometimes. I wonder if it matters which one I go to??? I am so stressed with this new job wondering if I made the right decision. Hello viper ! I get my 2nd fill nov 20th. Losing is slow. I need to watch my calories now that I can eat "normal" again. Good luck everyone on losing this week.

understand ! I feel like I could eat as much as I use too sometimes, :heh: more so as the day goes by. I really want to lose too and I have to keep using the tea cup saucer to eat on or the 1/2 cup plastic bowls. Baby spoon helps a little too. I just know that I am not getting enough fluids, I dont have time ! I was told I could stretch the upper pouch, dont want to mess with that, hope I havent already done that. If I dont chew something it will get stuck ! At least it did about three days after my first fill. I still fill a bone stuck feeling sometimes so I must have restriction of some kind. I go in Nov 20th for my next fill, cant wait to eat a couple of bites and feel full and stay full !!!! Everyone sound NORMAL to me and what I have read on here. LET LOSE LOSE LOSE !!!:whoo:

oh yea... no nibbling or snacking... the band is suppose to keep you feeling full... dont keep putting little bits of food in there, it just goes on thru it.

had my fill at 5 weeks. slimed once. i am starting to feel hungrier this week, food doesnt last as long. My wt has slowed but I am not worrying until a couple of fills. I can tell I am losing inches !! It is very hard to eat 1/2 cup of food when you KNOW you can eat alot more but you dont want to stretch the upper pouch... I have to remind myself to stop eating at every meal !! But... this will get better everyone says it. Hang in there. WE CAN DO THIS
