Marissa's Mom

How do I get added to the spreadsheet? My initial weight was incorrect when I first signed on to the challenge. I was actually 247 (1 pound more than I first thought :sad:) and I did not lose anything the first week...thanks to Mother Nature. My total to lose would change from 12 to 13 pounds and I am now at 241.2 :thumbup: down 5.8. Thank you if you are able to add me to the list. If now it is ok

I am in as well! My goal is to lose 12 pounds by Mother's Day. This will take me from 246 to 234.

I agree with XxMariposaxX, go to your doctor and get an unfill. I have been too tight to where I cannot get down thicker liquids. Throwing up, heart burn and reflux will follow if you do not pass out first! I had a fill on a Friday and my doctor met me at his office on Sunday to remove a little of the fill.

You look fabulous, congrats!

I have been banded for almost 2 years. I have lost almost 150 pounds since my surgery but have had several issues. I have had 3 additional surgeries since my initial LAP-BAND® surgery. I have had 2 port replacements and 1 surgery to move my port to make it easier for the doctor access it. My last port replacement was in November of 2009 and I need to go in for an unfill (I had my last fill in on December 30, 2009), I am having night coughs and reflux. I am scared because I do not want to gain any weight and I do not want to get another leak. I know this is stupid since I am doing myself more harm than good but I cannot afford any more expenses....I need help (mental encouragement). Thank you, Amy

Thank you both. Last Friday I called my doctor's office and begged them to fit me in. They will be calling me back tomorrow to let me know if they are able to fit me in before I fly back to Chicago.
