Thank you Denise82, I guess I'm lucky not to have known what it was! Thank God I haven't had much trouble so far, just once when I had a senior moment and ate a hot wing at our local girl's night out. That chicken skin just didn't want to go down too well, so I get the hic-ups when something is not right, do you? Now my husband knows if I'm having a problem with something I've ate, it's only happened a few times since my third fill. JKR

<p>HI Everyone, </p> <p> </p> <p>What is PB? I keep seeing that..... Pain in the chest I've had, but sliming is what? Sorry just not use to these terms yet.</p> <p> </p> <p>JKR</p>

Longhorn, I will pray for you, lap band surgery was a piece of cake for me. I wish it was avalible for me years ago. JKR

Duh, Nov. 1st and I did read that.... JKR

Phyl, How long has it been since you were banded? JKR

Hi Longhorn how are you doing with your band? JKR

Hi I'm new to this room, it's great to read all the post from everyone. I had my lap band done Jan. 2007 as of today I've lost 71 pounds. Is this about right? My dietician seem to think I was doing just fine, I saw her today for my 3 month check-up! I've had three fills so far, I don't know if that's good or bad guess we're all different huh? JKR

Hi Everyone, I'm new to this site, this is terrific so many people to talk to, and to read about. I had no idea how I was doing with my weight loss until I starting reading everyones posts. I had my lap band Jan. 31, 2007 I thought I would never see that day, my insurance took over a year to okay it. As of Sept. 28th when I visited my family doctor I had lost 74 pounds! :clap2: This Friday I have a dietician appointment so I hope a few more pounds will have come off. Wishing everyone the best. JKR

Hi, I'm new to this site! I had my lap band done Jan. 31st, 2007 and of two weeks ago when I weighed in at the Dr. I have lost 74 pounds and I'm 58 years old as of July 24th. Just started walking daily four weeks ago, up until then maybe 3 times a week if it wasn't to hot, or if I didn't have something better to do! (NOT) Excuses I still have those! JKR

Hi Everyone, I was banded @ UIC on Jan. 31st, 2007 this was my begining @ a new way of life @ the age of 57 years young :clap2: My doctor was Dr. Ayloo and she's been great, I've had 3 fills, and have lost 74 pounds thus far! Everyone I know has been so supportive, from my Dr's to my friends, and finding this site to talk and share with all of you is like frosting on a cake (chocolate) because nobody understands what we are going through, as well as others that are just like ourself in one way or another! March 1st is my (our) 40th anniversary, and we are taking a western carribean cruise with two other couples to celebrate the occation. I would love to lose another 40 pounds by then, we'll have to drive to Miami so I can shop for clothes on the way down. You can't find clothing for a cruise in Illinois in the month of Feb. :help: I belong to the "Red Hat Society" fun and games over fifty! Anyway we wear purple clothes and red hats, I found this to die for beautiful purple dress at a garage sale for $20. This dress was bought by the mother of the groom for her to wear to her son's wedding, it cost her $500......I would love to wear it to either our "Red Hat" Christmas party, or on our cruise in March! Do you think I can make it? I'm walking at least everyother day, I even bowled two games this morning and I haven't done that in 12 years! I'm sure the weight loss will slow up as time goes by, right? :cry I try to follow my menu as we should and 95% of the time I do real well, I get my chocolate fix daily by eating 1/2 cup of sugar free pudding made with 1% milk. Sometimes I have a no sugar added fudgecicle in the evening too. :hungry: I'll keep reading everything that you all have to say, thanks for the help you give us all by posting your threads. JKR
