IS THERE ANYONE WHO HAS DONE A MAKEOVER ON THEMSEVES? HAIR, MAKE-UP, AND CLOTHES STYLE? THE HAIR IS THE BIGGEST ONE FOR ME. IF YOU HAVE ANY PICS PLEASE POST THEM AND SHOW OFF HOW HOT YOU ARE... IT DOESN'T NEED TO BE A B/A SHOT. ALSO IF YOU HAVE ANY TIPS OR IDEAS LET ME KNOW ALSO. THANKS:wink2:

I keep telling myself that the last 28lb doesn't have to come off as fast as the rest of it did. I can take my time. WHY... so I don't have to work so hard. WRONG it has to come off or I will never take it off.

My Question To You Is.. Does She Have A Weight Problem? If She Does, It Will Be A Problem Because Of The Envy Issues. If She Is Not, Just Tell Her To Mind Her Own Health.

If you go on I 90 or parts of 35w are really bumpy. When I can home from Souix Falls after the lap band, it hurt to go over the really bumpy road.

I can't wait to be apart of the 100club!!!! I have a few months and I should be there. How long did it take you to take off the last 20+ lbs

I think every woman that looses weight should have a great haircut!!!!

please update me. I AM SO DARN EXCITED ABOUT LOSING:thumbup:

Does anyone have the stats on how many bands slip? I haven't found any numbers any where. I keep reading about all these people that have these problems. I am just wondering how offen this happens.

Want2beme 181/171 "I can do it!" wombat712 148/138 "OMG haven't seen the 130's since 1990" Gweniper 218/211 mamato3 233.5/223.5 "10 pounds in 21 days. Am I nutts?" MANDYJO 180/172 I HOPE IT DOESN'T COME OFF MY BOOBS

My I ask why you want it out? I missed that part of it. What kind of things are your doc's doing?

How has your weight loss changed your customer base? Have you noticed a change? I sure have. Let me know. I have also noticed my back hurts in other places now. lol

Thanks for posting!! It will help a lot of people. Life gives us a lot of "do overs". This is just one of those. I am glad you have given yourself the chance to "do over"

I have learned I can't wear t-shirts that stretch across my tummy. If I hit that fact I look pretty good. Until summer time and we have to wear shorts. That will be a hot mess!

What works for me is to trick my body. Tomorrow eat a lot more calories. Right now your body is thinking you're starving. So it is trying to hold on to your "fat". It seems to help me. But see what everyone else does... That is just me

I am nine months out and I just had a fill last week. I am having heart burne all the time. I haven't had it at all since being banded. I am wondering if things will just mellow out as my stomache heals. Doc added an other whole cc to my band. Any thoughts? p.s. I am paying for all my own postop care, so a unfull is not really something I want to do, but i will if I have to.

I have had 3 other fills. This is the first time I have had heart burn with a fill. But since I posted this, it is getting better. Funny how that works.

I think there are a lot of people that have what is being called "addiction transfer'. A person who is addicted to food: then when that is taken away they transfer their addictive behavior to something else. ex: drugs, boose, sex, shopping, gambling and many other things. I think that is a big reason they don't think drinking is a good thing. Other than the obvious calories...

Down 3 more thanks to a good fill!!!!

I have been tracking my weightloss for the last few weeks really closely. I am at a perfect point if I were are my goal. But I am getting hungery, my head is in the fig at night. So I call Doc Lee and told him I wanted to get in, in the next few days. So today, I am going in to get a fill. How agressive do I go> He is really open to letting me tell him what I think. I have a 10cc ap band. I have 4.5cc in it. I had 1cc in Nov. was my last fill. I want to be at my goal or close to it by the end of may or the first of June. If I can. 38 lbs..... any suggestions?

well, I went to the Doc yesterday. He put 1 cc in. SO he said I have roughly 5-6cc in my band. He also told me I may be a little ODC. He thought I was obsessive about my weightloss. This scares me a little. Where to go from here....

Please add me!!!! NAME ... Start Weight ... Goal ... Current Weight ... To Go MandyJO...........188.........,150.........186...........36

I have not been the best example, but I have done alright. I will lose for 2 months then stop for a month and then start again. I have a friend that has not done the right things she is down about 60lbs. she was banded in may 07 also. If she starts to work out and eat clean do you think she can lose the other 45 lbs she wants to lose? Is it too late to use it the right way for her? I told her it is never too late, but what do you think?

:confused:I have posted about this before, but I am really having a hardtime now. I keep hearing "oh you look great, you aren't going to lose anymore are you? I am at 186 most of the time. Now every pound I lose someone notices. How do you know "when you are there". My doc told me to choice a goal for myself. But for some reason I can't seem to do it. I don't think I will ever get there.... even tho I am in the mirror. I am scared.
