I have been lucky. I had good restriction with the second fill. They put too much in the 3rd and 4th and I had to have some taken out both times. It really sucks to be too tight.

I even get hit on at red lights now.

slim, how many fills have you had?

What's the lower profile port? It's good that you are doing the preop diet. I think it really helps with the weigh loss after. I didn't have to do it and my loss has been very slow.

I know this sounds weird, but it seems when I workout really hard everyday, I don't lose. So I only keep it to about 30 minutes each day, 4 or 5 times a week.

Who wants to just talk about the band all the time??? That would be very boring. And grandmasandy, if you don't like this topic then I suggest that you not visit the powder room!!!!!!

Sounds like you are doing really good. It didn't really matter to me which band I got, so I just chose the Lap Band because it has been around longer. Which really doesn't mean much. Good luck!

Yes, I liked him as well. I also liked the guy that worked on the oil rig or whatever. He was sexy!

I didn't like that girl at all. She thought she was all that and she wasn't. She had a nice body, but her face was not pretty and she couldn't sing. I don't think she will be around long. Once she's out of that bikini and into regular clothes, Simon will see what an idiot she is and she won't get far. She gave women everywhere a bad name.

pattygreen, I am a christian as well, and I understand what you are trying to say, but you are going about it all wrong. Jesus showed love to everyone and that is the way we are supposed to live as well. There is a better way to get your point across without sounding high and mighty and judgemental. As a christian, you are supposed to be trying to show christ's love and get others to know christ. But by the way you are talking, you are just pushing people away.

Yea, I'm watching idol as well, but I'm not as excited this year as I usually am.

I can see both sides here, although I have to agree with Jachut. But if he thinks it will help with the snacking, I think he will be proved wrong. Because as I have found, and many of you have found as well, junk food goes down really well. His BMI is not that high now, but who's to say it won't get higher without the band? Maybe he is doing it in order to prevent getting bigger and getting health problems. I can't say I blame him. If I could have gotten it sooner in order to keep me from getting to 255 pounds I would have.

Ok, I know I'm a little behind on my reading, BUT WHO DID THIS???!!!!!!!!!!! I also stopped reading pattygreen's posts on this topic about 8 pages ago because all I see when I read them is BLAH BLAH BLAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

HEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHAT'S THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN??!!! HA HA! Well, I wanted to get something started and liven up this place, so it looks like I succeeded!!!!

My thoughts exactly!!!!

Well, I think it is good to lose slow. I have lost slow even with the band. I try to look at how much I've lost instead of how much more I have to go.

I can give other people shots and draw blood all day at work, but it's a different story when I'm the patient. I can't stand it.

You look great! How much have you lost?

I know what you mean. We have a Fashion Bug Plus here that I love, but I am already in the smallest size they carry, 14/16, and I can't wait to get out of that! Then I can start shopping at Rue 21 next door!!

Yes, me too.

Yea, it's pretty nasty.

Yea, there were a few things she did during my consult that weren't right as far as insurance goes.

Yea, I would feel like it was cheating too.

I don't blame you, I wouldn't have given anymore either. I just wonder if her refunding me more money than she was supposed to had anything to do with her losing her job as well. She should have caught that.

Wow, that makes since then why she is gone. She never seemed like she cared about her job anyway. She was also doing some other things that would be considered insurance fraud, but I won't go into detail here. I'm glad you had your surgery though. At least you didn't have to wait 3 months longer over her stupid mistake. I wonder what she did with your payment? What did you tell her when she asked you for cash? I can't believe she asked you that!
