The best thing that I have been able to do is to set down in the floor and play with my grandson. I can actually have him sitting in my lap on the floor and stand up with him without worring that I'm going to loose my balance. Sex is 100% better.

You have done a super job. I know you will make it to your goal.

Kare, I got md CD today, and I love it. It made my 30 min. treadmill workout go so much faster than normally. I go to the gym every other day, the days that I don't go the gym I workout on the treadmill at home. The music I have been listen to has gotten really boring. Thank you so much Kare.

I smoked before the band and I still smoke. I have not had any problems at all.

I agree with everyone else. You keep it fun and interesting around here. Can't wait to meet you one day.

That is great!!!!!!

Welcome to bandland

I would do it again in a heart beat. I have only had the band 4 months and 8 days I have lost 49lbs. I do worry about having problems in the future, since I see so many people on here with problems.

That is supper Carrie. You have done really great with your weight loss.

I second Delarla as the craziest. But I think she is the funniest also.

American Airlines

I live in Alabama also. I had my surgery done by Dr. Rumbaut. I have no regrets at all. I fly to chicago to get my fills done. It cost me 142.00 round trip. Dr. Horgan in chicago is very generousy with his fills. I have lost 49lbs in 4 months.

I am now at 25.1

I am the exact same way. I can't eat anything in the morning, by lunch I can eat 1/2 to 1 cup of food. Dinner I eat about a cup. After 9:00 pm I can eat anything and way to much, and just don't seem to get full.

Yes Bruce i had a low BMI also, Everyone thought I was crazy also for wanting to have the surgery. But I didn't care what everyone else thought. I just new I was miserable and did not want to be fat the rest of my life. I was 200lbs and 5"4. I didn't have a problem finding Doctors willing to perform the surgery since I was self pay. I found one in Birmingham Alabama. I decided on Dr. Rumbaut because he had so much more experience than the ones in the United States.If I can be of in help please let me know.

You have done a great job. I also want to know your secret. Did you exercise, count calaries, what?

That is great news!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I also love the yard sales. I have went from a 16 to 8. Jeans are my favorite thing to wear. I keep a pair that is to small as my goal. When they fit I buy the next size down and hang them on bedroom door as my goal.

If your trying to get insurance to cover the surgery, I don't think you will have much luck with your BMI. If you're willing to pay for it yourself I think most Dr. will do the surgery with your BMI.

Well I had surgery over three months ago. Everyday since surgery I've been telling my self to go join a gym, and start exercising. I did it today. I joined the gym. Now I just have to make myself go and exercise

Great job Brad, keep it up.

I'm three months out with my band, I've only had to PB's but they were not what you call throw-up. It was more like foam coming out of your mouth that you couldn't stop. Once was on cheese won ton, and chicken dressing. I hope I don't have anymore.

I have been hypo for the past 10 years. Before I got my band i was on 2.25 sythroid, now I am down to 1.75 sythroid now. So I think the weight loss has helped with my thyroid problem.

I'm three months out with my band also. I would do it again in a heart beat. I have lost 42lbs. I think these last 29lbs are going to be hard thou.
