I am in Deer Park, would be interested in meeting some new people too. Baytown isnt far from me at all. Cynthia

Sorry to hear about this. It is unfortunate, but when I learned of the lapband procedure I was told there were many risks and that it hadnt been out long enough to know the side effects it could possibly have. Its all case by case, you never know what could happen with anything. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers as they try and solve this issue for you. Good job on the weightloss too. Cynthia

I think I had the "last meal" syndrome the whole last week before my surgery!! I too used Dr. Spivak and besides my weight I was very healthy as well, I didnt have to do a pre-op diet either.

well...grazer, thats me!!! I feel like I was just banded, because of the behavior Im trying to relearn. the first year was great, but regardless in my opinion you still have to retrain your self to eat better. I didnt and know Im having to learn the good eats from the bad eats. Even being banded I still crave and want to eat the ugly foods, but I cant some of them, and then again some days I can...so for me its a struggle still dealing with.

Its so amazing to read about everyone and how different we all are. For me, I grew up in church and had beliefs and my parents also taught me values, etc. One of those was sex before marriage. They never shoved it down are throat about it being bad, against religion, but they did share with us that GOD didnt approve of it. Now I never had to worry about it in highschool or anything, but I also didnt talk about it with my parents, which I defintily will do different with my kids one day. I felt very strongly about waiting till I was married, but It didnt happen. I fell in love with someone and we decided to share that with one another. We did part our seperate ways at one point and we moved on with our lives. I did have one other partner whom I dated, and I dont feel bad about sharing that with either people. I feel its all a personal decision and if it is something you want to do, than so be it. Amazingly enough me and my first love are back together and planning our future. Its wierd how the world turns, but its the way life is. Wow, and Im not the most educated when it comes to sex, so I did also learn some new words form Wheetsin! LOL. Noone should ever be judged for thier opinions, that is why its called opinioin... Im jumping around here, but IMO being ...hmm its hard to say what makes you a virgin or not, I mean I know medically you would have to have penetration, but I guess if you are doing other things..mmm...I dont know I would considere a "virgin", but thats me...

well im not a doctor, but I think the saline eventually dissapates(is that the word im looking for??) LOL.....and i also believe our stomachs stretch...but i believe that is how you know its time when you start eating more and can eat things like bread, pasta, etc... hope this helps....

guess i should post my weight... H&S 296/G145/C221

NEW..NOT NEW....who cares, its about our journey and sharing the knowledge that you have ..... P'nut....to me it doesnt matter what date you were banded, you have good thoughts, and suggestions, and thats what we are all here on this board to do is share them with people.... I think even if you are 5 yrs banded, you could easily learn something new about the band life from someone 3 mths post......my opinion. You do a great job at supporting and sharing what you do with us...and for that I thank you...it keeps my head straight.....

I kicked myself because im sexy and i do what i want!

I can start to gag just thinking of the nasty stuff for the upper GI......

I was self pay with Hadar Spivak in Houston, Tx. NOvember 2004....$12,500.00 first yr of fills were free....had several....I have had two that I have paid for and so far those cost me $150.00 I also was able to stay overnight with that cost....my surgery was done at Park Plaza Hosipital and my first yr of fills done in his office...now I go to the surgicenter to get them done....Dr. Spivak is the one who has done all of my fills.....His nurse has unfilled me once......so far Im lucky and Have only been stuck once and they find the port! Lucky so far..... I do believe the price has changed though...not too sure.

wow thats awesome.....I have a hard time to getting all the protein in and this could help... P'nut...I didnt know our bodies only accept so many grams of protein at a time....THANKS.....learn something new all the time... you always have good info... thanks everyone.

thanks everyone for adding me......I have added several new poeple to mine as well.....Have a great friday..... with anything online we have to be careful....I think as adults we know this......you have to be careful on here aswell........
