Hi everyone, It's been so long sense I have been on here, over three months. I have not lost any weight in those three months but this last fill I think will do the trick. I'm at about 6.1 cc's now and it really feels tight, but not too tight. I'm really happy where it is right now. This coming Tuesday the 12th. I'm doing to go and do some bowling, Than go see the movie AVATAR in 3D, than go to my support group meetings that night. It's going to be a very busy day. I hope to be on here more often now. Don -

PS: My wife is still not losing weight and her health is not getting any better. I don't think she wants to have the surgery but not sure. I'm going to ask her again soon. Hard to get an answer out of her sometimes. She turns 65 in Dec, so her surgery, with the insurance we have, it would not cost us anything. Thank you for asking. Don

Hi everyone, Just had my 3rd fill (0.5cc's; total 3.5) and have finally started losing again. My Doc said I lost 4 lbs since last time. I did not think I even lost that much. I'm going to try to to get below 200 lbs, that's 17 or more lbs by the end of the year. It sure would be nice to get rid of that 200 number. Glad to see everyone it doing well. Pre-op people, your time will come. I did not think my time would ever get here, now I'm 10 months out. Hard to believe. until next tome to all us losers, that's a good word here, Don

Again, sorry I don't post all that often but I'm still here. I'm still at about the same weight for over a month myself. I'm bouncing between 218 & 220. I have a Doc/s appt on 8-26 and hope to get a fill. I'm sure I need it. I noticed that I can eat more than I should before I feel full. I'm going to try to break below 200 by the end of the year. It sounds like everyone is doing very good, if their losing slow or not. Just hang in there, Don -

Hi everyone, Now I can't believe it's been almost 9 months sense my surgery. I think I'm about ready for a small fill. My next appt is Aug. 26th, So I'll see how I do by than. Just this past week I noticed how good I feel and am in very good spirits. I'm going to my next support group meeting Tuesday night (July 14th) and take my wife (Nina) to a seminar on the 23rd. I think these meeting are so important to keep you going. Everyone keep up the good work. Don -
