Congrats and welcome to LBT. Myra

Hi mini me I too noticed your absence. How are things going? I know you will get things figured out and get back into action. I can relate on the stalling. I bought a new scale and it weighs TEN pounds more than my old one. :huggie: So I feel like I haven't accomplished anything. :think Chin up. You can do this. Myra

Congrats and welcome to LBT. The time will fly by. Myra

Congrats on your decision. Welcome to LBT. Myra

natashiki have you been in touch with VinesQueen on this board. She was recently diagnosed with a tumor on her pituitary. She also is banded and might give you some insight into your unique situation. Myra

http://www.lapbandtalk.com/showthread.php?t=21397 Look at this thread. M

Congrats on your banding. You'll be eating real food in no time. Hang in there. Myra

Hi can't answer your question but I wanted to say welcome to LBT. Myra

Congrats on the soon to be banding. Welcome to LBT. Myra

Seppi how is it going with the coffee? Have you had to stay off it completely? Just wondering how your doing. Myra

Congrats on your soon to be banding. Will keep fingers crossed that the insurance comes through for you. Myra

Hi Jan345 I don't know your doctor. Yes I live just north of Dallas in Allen. Went through surgery with flying colors. No problems healing. Had my first fill the first week of July. I have "stalled" on weight loss. Mainly because I bought a new scale and it weighs quite differently than my old one. Have only had it a few days and it was my TOM so I hope it will read a little differently in a couple of days:nervous . See my doc again the 25th of August and can get a second fill after that. I have a VanGuard band and it typically takes 2 - 3 fills to reach optimal restriction. I have to say I have been cheating somewhat on my food intake this past week. But today is a new day and I am going to do better. I have only had two episodes where something "stuck". This would be my worst problem so far and believe me you learn from it. So far so good. Still learning though. Myra

Welcome to LBT. Myra

Congrats on your banding and weightloss. Keep up the good work. Myra

Congrats and Welcome to LBT. Myra

Congrats on your banding and welcome to LBT. Myra

To be honest I don't remember. But my surgeon did tell me to not get constipated under any circumstance. So I probably took a dulcolax tablet. Which I normally take one every few days to keep things moving along anyway. M

Well I am pretty sure it wasn't my SIL's son then.:rofl: M

San Antonio send it to me PM if you know it. Myra

Being the owner of 11 rescue cats and four dogs I can say they are a great joy. There are many products out there to help with training. Petco carries fencing http://www.petco.com/Shop/petco_Product_R_548_PC_productlist_Nav_180_N_22%2097_sku_22985_familyID_5874.aspx that you can set up in your home for a puppy. Put paper under the fenced area and change it everyday when you get home. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Housebroken has some really good tips. Puppies general can hold their bodily fluids for 60 minutes for every month of age. So the puppy would be nine months before she/he could reliably go all day without using the bathroom in the house. I have adopted older and younger animals. Right now we have a 16 y/o dachshund that was the victim of divorce and we just adore her. We adopted her when she was 11 and her time is limited but we still love her dearly. If you like cats but hate litterbox duties look at http://www.litter-robot.com/default.aspx?ac=1 These are a little pricey but worth the money. I have three for eleven cats and would not give them up for the world. I agree that you should consider two pets. You will be surprised how much entertainment they will be for each other and you. I also tend to lean toward older dogs also. My most favorite baby was a three y/o pomeranian that was a puppy mill rescue. She had heartworms that we had to treat. As did 37 of the other dogs in that rescue group. She also had sustained an eye injury at the puppy mill that made it necessary to remove one of her eyes. But she is my special baby. Look on www.petfinder.com for dogs. Rescue groups post on there and I am sure you can find a group close to where you live. I know being a teacher you have a golden heart and will give a fur baby special love. Good luck. Myra

So Chrissie does that mean you actually have a surgery date or an appointment to get the ball rolling for possible surgery? Either way congrats on a life changing decision. Glad to hear from an Okie. My MIL is an OKIE. Let us know how things go. Myra
