Hey there.. I am sooo happy I got banded. I was more afraid of the risks of not being banded than the risks of being banded... stroke, heart attack, diabetes.. I am down 117.5 pounds and I know that my chances of getting those killer diseases are sooo much less now. Yes there are risks with the band but for me (I haven't had any complications) the risks of not getting done were so much worse. It has been almost 10 months and I honestly would do it again in a heartbeat!! I wouldn't even think twice about it. I am a self pay and feel it was worth every penny I spent. I hope that answers your questions and if it doesn't feel free to contact me anytime! I wish you much luck on your decision. xoxo Allie~

Happy Easter Junies!! We had a wonderful time and I actually won! We came home after all the expenses up $2,500 bucks! What a great surprise that was! It was so nice to get away and we got comped for all our meals. It was kind of ridiculous though because both mornings we were comped the breakfast buffet. I can not eat in the morning so both days I was only able to eat 1/2 of a yogurt! My hubby kept commenting on how different my eating habits are. It was so nice to not eat everything! We had a wonderul room with a view of the ocean and it we stayed up both nights till after 3:00 a.m. we hadn't stayed up that late in so long. We danced, gambled and just explored! I took lots of pics so as soon as I figure out how to upload pics from my new camera I will post them. I only have a sec, we have company coming so I didn't have time to read the previous posts. I hope everyone is doing well and having a wonderful Easter. God Bless!

Good morning Junies.. Thanks Apples and Lucy.. that is terrible about your son's friend apples!! My heart is breaking for your son and my goodness his poor parents! They have to bury their son and daughter! That is beyone comprehension! I have been hugging my kids and hubby extra this past couple of days. Oh Apples send me a pic PLEASE! It's so funny what your mind pictures people look like.. I have this idea of you as this 5' 3" lady with blonde hair and teeny chicken legs (lol). That reminds me, I measured my calves and they are 16" now! That elliptical is doing it's job! My butt is firming up quite nicely too. I go on May 13 for a plastic surgery consult. Woo Hoo.

I definetly want to see that We are off tonight for our mini honeymoon! I am so excited I can't even begin to tell you. Have a great weekend everyone! xoxo

so I heard of this thing called resting metabolism and went online and found that I should be eating around 1700 calories!! I was like WHAT!! So I thought I would try increasing my caloric intake and seeing what happened and guess what I have now lost 107 pounds. I guess my body thought it was starving and wouldn't let me lose. The crazy thing is I added a couple of 100 calorie pack M&M's I have a major sweet tooth so was very happy! WOOHOOO..:w00t:

hey there Junies!! Long, congrats on wearing your daughters hand me downs.. lol.. hunzi- sounds like you are doing much better this time around.. angel- Im glad you are going to get some help with getting a fill. Lucy- woo hoo sounds like you are becoming a pampered chef queen! vz- woo hoo on 75 pounds lost!! Ok so this has been a sad week. A friend of ours age 42 died from an aneursym (sp?) her 14 & 8 year old sons came home from school and found her. It has been such a shock! Her and her hubby had just gone to las vegas and the doctors think she developed a blood clot from the long flight and it traveled to her brain. They had gotten home on Sunday and she was fine Monday morning but dead by that afternoon. It's sooo terrible. So please if any of you are taking long flights or drives get up and move around!! She fell asleep as soon as she got on the plane and slept the whole way. Her funeral will be on Tuesday . My hubby and I are going to Atlantic City tomorrow and staying for two nights for a getaway. He said he wants to spend some quality time together. His buddy kept saying, make sure your wife knows how much you love her, our hearts are breaking for him and those kids. So everyone hold on to your dear ones and make sure they know you love them. Life can be soo short. I hope everyone has a wonderful Easter! xoxo

Hey there Junies!! Brown- Sorry to hear you stretched your pouch! The good news is you didn't have a band slip. My girlfriend got the band about 7 months ago and I kept trying to tell her about not eating pasta, rice and breads because my doc is always preaching that these cause your pouch to stretch and then your band can slip! And yep her band slipped. She has to go in next week and have it fixed. That is my biggest fear and even though I miss pasta so much I don't eat it just because of that. So thank goodness that didnt happen and you can fix it! Everyone else sorry I haven't been able to keep up with all that has happened. I have been busy enjoying life..lol. I love having friday,saturday and sunday off! I had such a great 3 day weekend. Hey apples, Gnc stocks the papaya enzymes and it's like $2.99 for a bottle of like 300. I have only had to use them a couple of times but they do help! Have a great week Junies!!!! xoxoxo

Need Lap Band Buddy / Mentor someone to help and encourage through this journey!
allielee replied to wannabthinagain's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I have never gotten tighter as the weeks went on.. I have always gotten looser. I suggest making another fill appt. When you are tight you feel it immediately. When I was first banded I had a fill appt every 2 weeks. I would get 1 cc every time and see how it went. Now I get .01 cc when I go .. just a smidge. But if you don't have restriction how does your doc expect you to lose weight? If you could lose weight on your own you wouldn't have needed the band. I fight my doc all the time about fills. He doesn't like to give me one if I have lost more than 3 pounds in two weeks. Just know that either way works. You will lose weight either way.. slow and steady or fast and furious.. lol. -
