I agree this site is wonderful, there is nothing like having folks in your situation t talk too.

YEAHHHHHH Poodles and tann!!! waterlily you have a running start....35 pounds is nothing to sneeze at. ahhhh ahhhh nope nothing to sneeze at. Cloe yeah he sucks and unfortuantely that kind of stuff sticks with us. I have my own memories of ignorant people but it is not worth bringing that mess up. Keep your head up and move forward. Someone else probably already did run over the bugger......:heh:

Oh My Goodness.....dare I say Sunday was PERFECT....the weather, the sky, the Water, the breeze....were just PERFECT.:clap2: We had an Awesome time at the park. Picnic is on the menu once a month. LOL We had a little bit of food but too much food. LOL Who would have thought 7 layer dip, chips, veggie platter, deviled eggs, grapes, Jello and watermelon would have been too much food for 6 people.LOL:D We had such a great time laying around, munching, talking, taking measurements (which everyone had lost inches YEAAHHHHH) and recruiting a new member walking down the sidewalk (karen) he he he he. Everyone did at least 2 situps or leg lifts, not much else exercise but hopefully Dawner will bring her yoga expertise so we can stay on the ground. :heh: Leona and Karen met a new man who was with his wife, came and got down on the blaket just to say no thank you I dont' want any watermelon.:laugh I wish I had that 7 layer dip now....I'm hungry.:hungry: You guys thanks for an awesome, meeting......4 hours still wasn't enough. I hope for those who did not make it this time, please come to the picnic next month. Haines Point may be a distance from you but it is so worth it. Just being by the water is so relaxing and being on the ground is always comfortable. OK I'm ready to go back tomorrow..... :bounce:Thanks guys!!!

Awwwww Lisa:hug: I'm sorry, try writing him a letter detailing this same information about 3 months later you should not have to pay more money for something that did not work right in the first place. State in your letter that you don't have the finances for more surgery. Keep the tone of the letter peaceful and maybe he will do it for nothing. If you put it in writing he may think you will try to sue him later. There is nothing wrong with a little fear for motivation. You are doing a great job so keep posting your food, count your calories, get in enough calories and EXERCISE. If you do these things you know you will lose weight and in time your band will be fixed. You don't have to wait for the band repair in order to lose weigh.

Ohhhhh wind= gas yeah gas x xtra strength chewables will help and walking around will help get it out. Are you in pain, if not, you may not neet the pain killers anymore. They are probably making you feel groggy. The only pain killer I took was liquid tylenol and that was only when needed, about 3 times and it would put me right to sleep. You body still has anesthesia in it, it takes forever for it to get out, and that will make you feel groggy also. Keep sipping your water and good luck.

Congratulations Seppi!!!! 70 punds is nothing to sneeze at, just think if you didn't have the band, all of that would probably be sitting on your and more. I see you got unfilled, can I ask why? What do you eat now a days and do you exercise? WOW you are more then halfway to go......YOU GO SEPPI:clap2: :clap2: :clap2:

Whoooohooooo Yeahhhh Party Like You're 12:Banane27:

I'm 38 a mother and a momba, banded July 8 at Fair Oaks Hospital, Fairfax VA. I'm doing lovely. Hi:wave:

Stocky you busy acting up ......go fix your numbers. With your filled self. Connie got a fill today also. I have no restriction, why didn't someone order me a fill?

:cool: Oh wait a minute....why I got to be a Freak Momba. That's why we can't find LSasha anymore......she walking at night:Banane20:....if you know what I mean and sleeping during the day.....(wink) if you know what I mean. And Ms. Stocky we won't even get down into your Capri's:Banane26:

There is a website that will teach you anything you would ever want to know. Sexuality.org That's a secret....don't tell anyone else.:guess

Lisa I am so sorry. First, I don't know if a leaking port is your fault. It sounds like you might want to have Jason look into contacting the company who made your band and inquire about it. Let them know you do not have the money to replace it. Did you doctor tell you why the port is leaking? Does he know for sure it is the port and not the tubing. Baby I am so sorry. Also, you are not eating. Believe it or not you need to eat in order to lose. Please eat low carb and count your calories. It would be nice to see you get at least 800 calories a day.:hug:

Fingers crossed, eyes crossed, prayers sent up and in transe state ommmmmmmmmmm Aaaallleeexx willlll gettttt theeeeee jobbbbbb. YEAHHHH Alex!!! When is the Party?:clap2: :clap2: :clap2:

Oh goody, yeah give us the directions also. I have found a lurker on this board who lives in MD. She may be coming out Sunday also.

Use whatever word you want but yes I had restriction and did not need a fill for a good while after I got banded. I am about a year out and only had 2 fills. If you have restriction you don't need a fill yet but if you are not losing and you can eat too much then yes you might want to get a fill.

I'll succeed you have had a lot going on. It is time to focus back on you. Your pictures are awesome, you are look good. Keep up the good work and let's see the numbers on the scale come down some more because the inches are falling off. shoresexy you have been doing an awesome job. Is it time for another fill or do you need to kick it up a notch with the exercise. Let's get some more pounds off this month so we both can sure be sexy for July!! Hey you guys, this is SPRING BOOTCAMP!!!! I DON'T THINK YOU REALIZE THERE IS SOMEONE WHO IS GOING TO KICK YOUR BOOTY IF YOU DON'T LOSE SOME MORE OF THAT BOOTY.....MOVE IT.....PUT IT IN GEAR AND :director: :cool::rockon:MOVE IT:Banane20::roll:

liquid Tylenol is the over the counter med that I was told I could take. It would knock me out. The back ach could be gas. A lot of people get it in their shoulder and it takes a few weeks to go away. Be sure you are walking and GasX chewables really helped me with the gas.:preggers: I believe others have used pepto bismol. I don't suggest morphine unless your doctor administers it. Crack is not a good option either. Your body has a new toy and is now playing with it. Give a little time and call your surgeon, they are use to all the questions you can throw at them. :gluck: Congratulations and Welcome to Bandland:grouphug:

7:15 or 7:30 Do you have class?

I thought you were bringing broth for everyone. We did it before we can do it again. We'll drink it like tea.:cool:

Poodles I got on a scale as soon as I could which was about 4 days after surgery because my scale at home does not go that high:scalesno:. I have to go to my TOPS meetings to weigh. I weigh in faithfully every Tuesday unless there is no meeting and then I am upset. Wheetsin I like that "been working harder than a bulemic on Thanksgiving" ha ha ha:pound: Meow I feel your pain, like I said I have to go to my meetings to weigh in. My doctor's office use to have the extra weight for the scale but someone broke it. They got another one and then that one got broke. They should try investing in a digital scale for the "big people"

My NSV is that I at 2 whole pork chops and thought I was going to burst last night. OK no that is not a good one. I wore a pair of 3 inch heels for several hours this week. I have not been able to wear heels since I broke my ankle because there was just too much weight on them. Now that I have lost 71 pounds, my ankle don't hurt with them on.

Let's nix the meat and grill thing. We will stay light and healthy. Teresita- plates/water/whatever else is needed Pooky - watermelon Karen -veggies/dip Kee- LSasha- broth? Connie Out of Town List Barbara Stocky Gunny4ya Where is Leona, Dawner.....hay you know who you are....are you guys coming? We are going to try to get together possibly twice a month since all schedules are not equal. Come dressed to walk and exercise. Let's encourage each other to continue to lose this summer. Maybe Dawner can show us how to meditate...ommmmmmmmmmmmmm Bring a blanket or yoga mat if you have one. Bring a chair if you need it. There are bench's but my favorite part of the park is just beautiful lush grass. Hopefully, it will be cut for Sunday. Be sure to have Karen or my cell phone number so you will know exactly where we will be.
