Good and bad news, Jessiebear. And the bad news ain't that bad. I've heard tell that after a prolonged unfill, you don't need near as much to achieve good restriction. Here's hoping that all turns out well.

Hi Christine, welcome to LBT. My wife has had two sections and gall bladder surgery and experienced NO problems whatsoever with her band surgery. Don't be surprised if they want to put off the hernia for a later date. Here's to many happy losses for you...

my answer would be .......NO.......That's what got you here in the first place.

Justin, wife's doc had her do two weeks liquids and one week mushies before going on to solid foods. She also does one week of each after every fill. So far, she has had absolutely NO PROBLEMS.

Yes, cake batter......BLECH!

And MsJoy has been putting up with me for almost 33 years. So she is the one who loves the banana....LMAO

I remember:Banane56: when I :Banane55:was 23 and :Banane16:obsessed with :fruitsex:sex.....now :Banane46:I'm 51.

Do I think it will work for you? The question is, do YOU think it will work for you? The band is like any other WLS. If you do it "right" it should work. If you drink cake batter, like one post I saw, probably won't work so well. If you get your fills and follow your doctor's advice, probably. If you NEVER get a fill, you'll just be hauling around a hunk of silicone, so probably not. My wife is NOT in to exercising. She likes butterfinger blizzards. She eats like someone is going to take it away from her (fast). And she has still lost around 75 pounds over the last two years (slow loser). But your experience will be entirely YOURS. And your hubby's will be his. And so on....

Heck yeah! The weather man in Dallas says that we should be somewhere up around 80 degrees today. I think that calls for a ride, don't you? Whosyadaddy, way to go on the 100 lbs in 5 months. You'll be ridin' in style this spring. Sherry, the good thing about those chaps, you just poke a few extra holes in the belt and move the lashings and you're on your way... Carol, good to see you're still around. We missed ya, but then, you've probably been leading the HOG Chapter all over the state... :-) We're trying to decide if we're going to make it to ROT this year. We've got a family trip planned to Las Vegas, June 21st, so....

Our Christmas picture... Hope everyone had a good holiday.

These are MsJoy's "work in progress" pics.

Welcome to LBT, Shandra. Check out everything. There's lots of good information around here. And if you can't find what you're looking for just ask. I'm sure someone will have an answer.

No! My wife's doctor put her on a two week liquid diet right before her surgery to help shrink the size of her liver. It facilitates the surgery better. Makes the liver smaller.

Welcome to LBT, suekeysue. May your journey be filled with many losses and downsizing.

Joy put her redesigned set in the jewelry box for now. I got her a platinum band with a one carat solataire to wear till she can get the set resized again after she loses all that she wants to.

Well of course we'll give you some support...hose or stockings? *grin* It's good to see you back, Donna. Say hi to M for us. The main thing is to remember what you did in the beginning. Eat right, get your protein and exercise. All else fails, get a teeny tiny fill, maybe??? We love ya!

Hey Valerie, how did the ride in San Diego go?

Babs, no doubt your problem was the fact that you couldn't prepare for the bad road conditions like you could when you were sitting up front. I'm sure he didn't hit too many of those pot holes on purpose. Penny, I hope the test results come back ok. Too bad about the end of your riding season. I was up for Sturgis this year and you folks have some good rides up that way. Whosyadaddy, same problem up your way. Hopefully you can upgrade that ride and REALLY enjoy yourself next year.

Where the heck did everybody go? Must be all the good riding weather. :mad:

OK, the weather is great! I go for a short ride to do some errands and I smell oil burning. Can't be me, must be the car next to me at the bank. More errands with a stop at the credit union. I'm about to mount up for the ride home and notice that the right side bags are covered in oil. Well, dang....:cry I rode back to the house and parked her. Checked my manual and with the dealership. After cooling off I cranked it up and warmed it up in a hurry. Ah ha! Oil dripping from the rocker box on the rear jug. The gasket was out. Picked my baby up from the HD of Waco today. The ride home was great! Now I'm ready for more and I've got to do the family thing down in San Antonio again....there's always next week.

You're welcome. SD would be a great place to do some touring. What I can remember of it from bootcamp.....LOL

Hard to say. Is it a cruiser? Sports bike? Custom? I would think, considering my wife's surgery, that if it is a cruiser/dresser you should be okay. Just try to stay off any of the really bumpy streets.

Hiya Deb, and welcome. That would be MY road name, "Doc"......and No, I just answer all the medical questions when we go through our annual refresher training. TN eh? I road thru there on the tail of the dragon a couple of years ago. Nice ride. We need to get WONDER WOMAN over that way and let her have some fun, too.

OMG! WONDER WOMAN???? LMAO I just want to be the first one to see the picture of you in that tiny little outfit with the boots and the lasso....SWL (screaming with laughter). Of course you'll have to dye your hair! And don't forget the fire engine red lipstick!!! Well, congratulations on the road name. I believe you earned it. Now take everybody on a ride and make sure that you use a GPS and take them down some white rock back road between hardtops. Tell them to follow the little gold cape....LOL

May I suggest Unjury unflavored. Find it at Welcome to the UNJURY Homepage . The folks there are great. My wife puts it on and in just about anything.
