Hey everyone, Sorry i havent posted in soooooo long, but my life has been CRAZY!!!!! My husband and I have seperated and I filed for divorce! My kids & I have moved into an appartment, so life has been a mess! but the good news is I've lost 75 lbs since April 8th WOOOO HOOOO! yeah I cant believe it myself I started in a size 24 and am now in a size 18, I have only had 2 fills but i am pretty tight most of the time, pretty sure its mostly from stress but im losing so im not going to complain. how is everyone doing?

Hi everyone! its been several months since I posted, SORRY! lots of changes in my life.....my husband and i have seperated & I've moved, but the good news is I've lost 75 lbs......WOOO HOOOO! I was banded on April 8th '08 in Mexico, but I live in Camdenton. I would love to hear from Mazziemommy....last time I saw she & her husband had seperated! was just wondering how things were in ur life.....now we have another thing in common......not so glad about this on though....Cindy ( oh yeah I've had 2 fills & am very tight most of the time)

Carol I'm so sorry to hear about your loss, I have been there and at age 34 to lose my dad makes me feel very cheated in life, I will be praying for u and your family. Seems like eveyones weight lose is doing great! Good job everyone. Sorry I dont get to post much just really busy, but I am thinking about everyone and how we are doing. I had my first fill last week and due for #2 on June 30th, so far I am down 26 lbs total and already down a pant size so I feel great.......Cindy

Hi everyone, i haven't been on computer much lately.....summer, kids, & work keep me very busy..........anyway I had my first fill last week on Monday (1 1/4 in a 4 band) so I am feeling alot more restriction, have had a few things stuck, MAJOR pain, but no PBing or slimming, I'm scared to death for that to happen, so I try to be very careful. Funny thing is I never noticed until I was banded how eating is sooooo different, I have been catching myself puttung another bite into my mouth b4 I have swallowed and chewed up the first one. Then I think about how bad it hurt when something got stuck, dont want that to happen again. Suziecat- Dr Malley's office all seem very cool, my next fill is on June 30th at 2:15 so maybe we can meet then, my friend Julie and I were banded together so we will have our appts. at the same time(need company on our 3 hr drive to KC) we planned on leaving early to shop or mess around b4 appt. so let me know.........Down 26 lbs total so far in 9 weeks...Cindy

Im not sure how much Dr Malley charges for surgery, but he is in Overland Park and I am using him for my fills. I will have my first fill on June 2nd, and I was banded in TJ Mexico by Dr. Kuri on April 8th, 2008. But I hear Dr Malley is great, also SuzieCat on MO uses him and she lives in Kc area. Cindy

Dianne, I went to school in Lebanon and my family lives in Eldridge...but I now live in Camdenton, still not very far away...anyway it is so great to talk to someone so close to me and in my home town...I would like to join a support group if you guys get one in Lebanon...Cindy

Thanks for the heads up Turler...my first fill is on June 2nd and I wish it as now...but they will only take 1 new MX patient a week, so I have to wait til 8weeks post op.....DANG I really want it now. Did ur Dr do the Flouro on your first fill? I'm guessing not since you didn't say so......I hear most do..I wonder why some do and some don't? Anyway I'm jealous.....Cindy

Hello everyone sorry I've been really busy, working & kids and stuff.....I'm doing really good I am down 20 lbs,(I wish it was more) but I am feeling so much better already and already am fitting into jeans a size smaller.....I will be getting my first fill on June 2nd, I made that appt over 2 months ago and that was the soonest, I will be 8 weeks out and I feel like I am ready for it now!! Anyway gotto go lots of prom nails and hair this week BUSY BUSY....Cindy

Suziecat- I actually still have my appt in KC, I was just kinda throwing that idea around...but I think since I am already set up w Dr Malley, that I will just stay with him....so we can meet after all. My 2 friend really like him and so do you so I will stay where I'm at, I guess 3 hours isn't all that bad...LOL...and can just make it a fun day....Cindy

Hello everyone, can u believe this crazy weather, freezing temps. tonight and it the end of April, I now have to cover my tomatoes....Anyway I was wondering if their is a Dr. in Springfield who will take new fill patients? I have an appt in KC on June 2nd but was wondering if their was one closer to me....plus I have to wait 8 weeks post op to get my first fill...What about Dr Edwards? and can u give me his phone #? Thanks Cindy

Hi Carol, I've been doing good, All healed up!! The scales dont seem to be moving much, and I'm doing everything I should so not sure what that means, I'm going to start exercising more maybe that will give it a boost, and I can't wait til my first fill on June 2nd, i couldn't get in any sooner....I want to get this show on the road......Looks like you are doing great over 40 lbs now,WOW tell me your secret.......Cindy

OMG Bon Jovi, he is even HOTTER now than then...............and what about half-shirts (yep sure can't wear them now...LOL) and your jeans all cut up w/ tons of slits on them..&...BLUE EYESHADOW.....OMG SOOOOO FUNNY I LOVE THIS THREAD.....Cindy

Glad to see I'm not the only one crazy about the scales...I just can't help it, I have been weighing every day then get frustrated when it doesn't move....I am 2 1/2 weeks post op and have lost 18 lbs total and the scales haven't moved in a few days, so I will take the advise and NOT weigh everyday.......cause its driving me CRAZY....Cindy

Hi, its about time...I've been looking in the 30's every so often and never see much activity....So maybe we can get this going!!! I will be glad to chat w/ u guys..I was just banded on 4/8 so I'm new at this..but I am down 17 lbs......Cindy:thumbup:
