Hi Cari and Welcome !!! I used a doctor from Hackensack Medical, he was wonderful. Good luck !!! Eileen (northern nj )

Boo ! Hi Ladies :tt2: Just popping in to say hello. Can you believe its September where oh where did the summer go and why does it take so long to get here and its gone with a blink of an eye..... phoooie~ Nothing much is new here.... the Puppies are getting big. I can't remember if I posted pictures of them. My Emma (the mom) had 3. Two boys and a girl, one is black, one is brown, and one is white... go figure... but boy are they adorable. I'm getting a new boss... mine got promoted to VP of our department so he'll be working out of PA instead of NJ :thumbup: but then the old saying goes the devil you don't know is worse then the devil you do know... I just hope we get some one nice.. with manners LOL. I still have not gotten a fill.... I keep coming up with excuses. My excuse this month is, we are going to Disney on Oct 31st so why would I want a fill NOW??? shame on me.... *SHRUG* I should make an appt for the week after I'm back now, before I make another excuse. I can eat so much its like I don't have a band... goofball me. Anyway..... I need to get back in here more because I miss you all. Have a great day chickies... love and miss you. Eileen

You heard right... he is excellent !! ..

Hi Ladies, good to see you all. Things are crazy, the dog I adopted a few weeks ago is pregnant, the vet see's 3 pups and she's due in about 10 days OY VEY!!! like I'm not busy enough LOL Work's been crazy, I think my boss got a VP job (he'd still be my boss) and he hasn't told anyone yet, so things are uneasy there because we don't know who's gonna replace him. You know the saying, the devil you don't know is worse then the devil you do know. No WL... still eating like a pig, no restriction and HATE the thought of getting a fill. I just don't want to give up eating the amount I can eat and its dangerous. The brain is not cooperating. Oh well. Struggle is my middle name. Hi New Girls !!! I too am from NJ... bergen cty near ramsey. Welcome to LBT and congrats on almost or getting the band Hope everyone is doing well Eileen

Thank you all :thumbup: its not so bad turning 35 :thumbup: I'll have to pop in and catch up with you all... things have been quite busy and it seems like its not going to end. One good thing is we are going to disney oct/nov. This will be the honeymoon we never had, 20th wedding anniversary and 20 years of vacations we never took all rolled up in one LOL ... first trip EVER with my DH and now my DD LOL so we are all excited. Other than that, sosdd... still gaining weight.. no control or no desire.. can't get a grip.. oh well. You all have a wonderful day and thanks again. I'll try to get here this weekend to catch up. Love you !! and Miss you !!!

Good Morning, Lookie at Pat, what a hottie and I love your new hair do.... you look fantastic. Donna & Diane you goils look great !! Some day I'll get to meet the wonderful Miss Pat :thumbup: Sherry, move over, this acid crap is really horrible, I don't know why but I woke up this morning litterly choking on it. I'm off to the doctor for some prescription meds this week. I can't go on like this. I'm gonna see my regular doctor, not my LB doc... I really don't want an unfill.. (haven't had one in over a year). Do you think my regular doc will give me meds without having to have a scope shoved down my pie hole? Anyway....... nothing is new which is good I suppose. We are going to a Luau today...got laundry and stuff to do around the house. How are you chickies? .

Hi Chickies, happy belated 4th. Nothing much to report, sosdd. Its a gloomy foggy day today, so that means the usual cleaning and what ever else comes along LOL. Shery... did you see my last post with that bed bath & beyond bed pillow for acid reflux? it REALLY helps. You might wanna check it out. Anyway.... I have to jump in the shower. Have a great saturday.... lov yah. Eileen

I've been having terrrrrrrrible acid reflux for the past few months (well really longer) and been reading up on it. I went to bed bath and beyond ((((formerly called bed bitches and beyond LOL))))) and got this bedwedge. It took 2 nights to get used to but IT WORKS !!!!!!! for me that is. You might want to try it. Bed Bath & Beyond Product Last night I didn't sleep with it and I was pratically choking in my sleep most of the night. I love this thing. Anyway.... its nice to see you all so chatty. Nothing is new here, cept Emma. I have to puppy proof my kitchen today and get Emma's arse in a flea bath, she's biting to much. Then its off to the pet store for toys she can chew other than my DD's stuff LOL. Tonight its off to the carnival and fireworks Have a great day chicklets.... love yah !!! Eileen

Hi Marko, Dr. Garth Ballantyne in Hackensack, he's the head of bariatric surgery there, very well known and very nice. Hackensack is a great hospital. His staff is great too. Good Luck !!!!

Please correct me if I'm wrong. Is it true that some doctors want you to do a 2 week before surgery liquid diet and some don't? Why be on a liquid diet 2 weeks b/4 the surgery date? is this to shrink the stomach (some what)? Thanks !!

My stinking post was wiped out...wholey crap !!!!!!!! Donna since I only check in on the weekends I wanted to say good luck wednesday. Sherry glad your party is over with, its so much work. Yes OTC prilosec is small and easy to take, they are flat and thin. I never had acid reflux until last year. It went away and is now back which makes me scared to get a fill which i so need. Pat ...?? ... gutter ??? what ever are you talking about :ohmy: Looks like a sucky day out, its cloudy and looks like rain. I went food shopping already this morning, 7 AM when the doors opened lol. I hate crowds. So now I'm ready for a nap...no energy I tell yah. Oh well. Chicks.... see ya next weekend. Behave now Eileen

Good morning, Sherry glad the party is over, its always alot of work isn't it. Yes I can take the OTC prilosec ...they are pretty small but you can only take them for 14 days and then not for another 4 months ??? thats what the package says. I didn't have acid reflux before surgery but am now getting it. Last time was about a year ago, now its back and I'm it seems to be lasting longer. :ohmy:

Good Morning, Wow, its good to see this board all chatty again. After today I will no longer be a virgin.... (((trying to figure that one out eh Pat))) haaaaaaaa I'm getting my very first pedicure AND manicure. Yep at the ripe old age of 43. My DD who's almost 7 has had 2 of them already ROFLMFAO !!!! Kids. Trish... I used to suck on goldfish crackers...pizza flavor saved my life haaaaa !!!! Just don't go to crazy now LOL Donna welcome :redface: this is a great group. Ohh the PITA nutritionalist haaaaa what a joke. When I went the woman nutjob told me that all I'd ever be able to eat was the size of a small teeny babyfood jar. Yeah right!!! Well I should go to her office today and bring a 6" sub and show her a thing or two. They are clueless when it comes to wls. But thats jmho. Jetti Happy Birthday :smile: Have you tried a steroid cream OTC on your back? that might help. Ohhh vacation, have a great trip.

Good Afternoon, Its a nice quiet day, I just love it when people go away on vacation..the town is just so quiet and nice. DD and I went bike riding. I actually got my fat ass on a bike and did a good 1/2 hr ride. Thats alot for me. I like my bike now that I got a new fat ass seat at walmart :sad: I ever got DD one for her little bike. They are just to comfy. Nothing much is going on, just being lazy around the house and enjoying the relaxing time off for once. Pat..whats shakin toots? What the heck did the surgeon do to your boobies? How's every little thing? How's Mom? Betty spaghetti good to see ya chickie. Glad your loving your new PC. Mine is very old and outdated, slow as crap but for the internet, its ok. I'm not on it that much to really justify a new one. Our pool is to cold... not quite 80 degrees. I need 85 - 90 to swim (the Water that is). Enjoy. Well girlies... I'm outta here... gonna go tye dye some shirts with dd. Have a great week .
