hi all miss talking today chat is still down whats up I need to hear from my peps lol

:thumbup:God bless you Karen you are in good hands with Dr. Choban she is great. I did have a teddy bear in the car for the ride home to put between me and the seat belt. and some lip bam. you will be just fine, write back when you are feeling better oh get some gas-x that will help with the gas after. I will be praying for you Ladyroz

hi silly keep doing what you are doing and soon you will get you date to start your new life. about the eating when you are upset it is hard to eat when you are full lol I have that problem at time when I feel like no one is supporting me or when I'm just sad I had to learn to do other things bysides eat that has been my out for years and now I must find other things I walk now I couldn't walk for a long time like 15 years now I walk 2miles a day that is real deep for me I have new knees now I go to the gym 3 times a week I like to work out in the water at the gym easy on the knees. Just think of all the things you will be able to do when you loose weight. So keep all of your appts. oh by the way the sleep test is messy in your hair so don't wash your hair until after the test. good luck on you walk to good health. LadyRoz

Hi all It is so good hearing from all of you guys. I'm doing fine I have lost 115lbs so far was banded 1/7/08 all those banded march last year great job on your walk to good health. The lady who feels she is not being supported by her partner always think of your health and when you start feeling good about yourself everone around you will start to support you and if not that will be alright too.

HAPPY -B K GOD BE WITH YOU ON YOUR DAY It is nice to see some of us old banders on here again I miss writing and sometimes I don't have time but I'm think about all of you. I'm doing fine now I was tight my food can go down now I didn't have an unfill I wanted to wait it out. How is Debby doing has anyone heard from her? Good luck on your road to good health Sillypuddy was in your shoes last year also I have lost 110lbs so far and it is the best thing I have ever done for myself. LadyRoz

Hi Clempir I have been banded for one year and have lost 110lbs so far God has been with me all the way with out Him I couldn't have done this and the iceing on the cake is that I'm on no more meds. You must keep in mine God wants us to be healthy. God didn't make us to be sick that is when sin came in to play so when I think of the band I thank God for the band it has changed my life, I can fast without getting sick, I can walk without being out of breath glory be to God. So keep your head up my sister God is in control let Him lead you to good health. God Bless our sister LadyRoz

hi all I'm having some discomfort now I had a fill 1/13/09 I think it is to tight however I have started to go back to the start of the band and eat broth, jello, proteins drinks. It was hard to hold the food down and there is pain I have never had before even jello hurt going down and it would come back up. I made a big pot of soup chichen with veggs. and drink the broth slowly after a week I was able to hold mash veggs and fish slowly. I think sometimes there is gas inside and when the food comes down it sits on the gas and until it moves it hurts that is why drinking something hot before eating helps 1/2 hour before don't drink while eating that will make it hurt also. I not sure if I'm to tight or not but I have lost 7lbs since the fill so I think I'm not going to get a unfill my next fill is in feb. if I still feel this way I will not get a fill at that time. banded 1/7/08 lost 110lbs so far 40 more to go at this point I'm very happy with my band good luck to all with your walk to good health. LadyRoz

Hi dkj When I started I read all of the posts because it helped me to know what to look for and what to look out for. Every day there is something new going on with the band and some times old posts can help don't be scared of some of the stories all do not happen to all and some will never happen because you have gotten a heads up for older bands. Enjoy your band it is a great tool to help you to a better life good luck. LadyRoz PS welcome you are on your way to good health

Hi K and Debby K it is so good to hear from you and to know you are doing well 83lbs is great.
