  1. Happy 41st Birthday karla!

  2. 4 years has passed since you registered at LapBandTalk! Happy 4th Anniversary karla!

  3. It's been a while since I've been on here. I've had a slip back and I'm embarrassed, but after a terrible divorce and finally finding happiness again I hope to get back on the "Band Wagon" and get back to business. I can't say the my profile pic is a a recent, but I hope to be back to my lowest in the very near future. It is a tool my friends!

  4. I wanted to say that your before and after photos are amazing and are really one of the best I have seen on here. We are doing a major campaign showing the dramatic results of before and after the band and would like to see if you may be interested in being featured in our ad campaign with your pics! We could even use a testimonial from you on how you feel it has changed things in your life.

     

    Anyway, let me know as soon as you can and keep up the amazing results! You can reach me at my work email: msteiner@identitymarketinggroup.com

    Hi all ~ it's been awhile since I've posted. I had to have a complete unfill to undergo a complete hystorecomy. It's been 4 weeks since my surgery and I'm finally going in for a fill. I can't wait! I've gained about 5 pounds back, but I'm hitting a fluid diet until Thursday in hopes that I'll be back down to my low before going in for the fill. I'd hate to go in and get on the scale and be higher than my unfill date. Sigh! I'm disgusted with myself:(
  7. you have done really well. I have a couple questions if you don't mind. I am almost 2 months out. Doing well myself . How many calories did you eat a day? How often do you excersie and do you stick with the 65 grams or protine a day?

  8. OMG you are such and inspiration. How long has it been since you've had the surgery?

  9. You Look Great Congrads

  10. Wow! Saw your before and after. You look amazing! Has it been a hard road? I haven't been banded as of yet - fingers crossed it'll happen soon. Keep up the great work! :smile2:

    Hi ~ It's been a few weeks since I've had time to post. Just can't seem to squeeze in the extra computer time lately. Well, big things have been happening and I'm getting stressed now. After years of female problems my OBGYN has decided we can go ahead and yank the plumbing. I go in on July 8th for a complete hystorectomy (spelling?) at the age of 36. After contacting my lapband surgeon today I found that I have to go in and have a complete unfill at least 2 weeks prior to my surgery. I'm stressed because I'm afraid I will slip off the bandwagon and gain a few pounds back and how long will it take me to get back to where I'm at now with my fill. Granted I think I'm a little too restricted now, but I'm not losing either. It may be silly, but I hate even looking at the scale when I'm up 2 or 3 pounds now. Is there anything I need to tell my anesthologist (again spelling) in regards to working around my band? All my lapband doc said was to discuss options with them. Any medical words of advice Suzzzie? I do look forward to not having my TOTM anymore, but hormone replacement is kind of scary too. Things have just gotten worse since I've lost weight and started exercising more (more pain, longer cycle (10-14 days), severe bleeding) I just can't do this anymore. Thanks for listening to my whine fest!
