You said it!!! Hence the McFlurry Caper!!

Also, you should call your surgeons office and tell them. Just in case it is a side affect from surgery or something, like fluid in your lungs. You wouldnt want to stop the cough if it can cause more problems. But I would stop the cough for now until you hear from your surgeon.

Morn'n Doriana That sucks!! I would suggest Delsym cough syrup. Take it soon, you no not want to cough too much, your not 100% healed yet. Do whatever you can to stop the cough. Let us know how it goes!!

Slow on the draw again........ Mandi, HUGE DIFFERENCE your pic's are wonderful, pinch yourself man, your beautiful...... BELIEVE IT!!!!

WTG Khrissy!!!! Welcome to Bandland!!

Grrrrr....I'm so frustrated!!! I couldnt find my USB cord for my camera, then I finally found it, now my computer says it's retrieving the info but I can't transfer it!!!! I'm soooo mad. If anyone has any suggestions? In the meantime I'll keep trying, sorry.

Mandi, do you honestly not see the difference?? I'm only asking cause, okay don't take this wrong cause I'm totally happy, sometimes I think I should be more excited. Is it because it's a gradual thing. When people ask me how much I've lost so far they always freak out and say, you must be so excited. And I am, really I am, but somehow I thought it would be different. I hope I'm not frowning anyone, caus4e I truly am 100% into my lap-band and I am thrilled. Okay big confession.........................The more I lose (and I live to lose) the more I pick up on other things, like stretch marks, saggy skin, and thoughts like....oh ya, I forgot how much I alway hated my ankles. I would never do anything different than my lap-band experience, it so takes the pressure off, but lately I have been reminded the way I use to think and quit possibly the reason I got so fat to start with. I hope you can relate or else I feel real dumb now. So, I'm just wondering if thats maybe why you don't see a difference. Cause I'm sure everyone else does!!!!

Chew those Gas-X Doriana, if nothing else they taste good!!

Just so happens that I was cleaning out my purse tonight. I found a old beat up lap-band brochure. I read for curiosity and noticed one of the things listed was....lap-banded persons will not experience dumping. I still don't know what it means to dump:confused: . lol. Hope that helps, it must be something else sherriberry

Hi Guys!! Yes, feeling like myself again, thanks. On a good drug til next Monday then back to my doc's, then a ultrasound a week later to check for kidney stones. I think I sould go visit the emerg doc and ask her to pay me for my weeks worth of lost wages, dont you??? Just catching up on all the stuff that got left last week. I think my illness kick-started weight loss again for me, thats neat. How's everyone doing on there Christmas shopping?? Hey Mandi, I can't wait to here how your mom and dad are going to re-act when they see you. I get goosebumps thinking about it. I wanna be there.

Yuck, Yuck, Yuck, I got the shivers. I too, do not like to feel my port. Like if I bend over a chair or something leans into it, I can feel it. Yucky feeling. It is wonderful how we have access to adjust the bands, but yes the whole fill thing is creepy.

LOL,LOL. Look, the FREAKO is yealling at the PARTY POOPER!!:heh:

WooHoo Khrissy!!! A new life starts tommorrow!! Good Luck!!

Good Luck!!!

FREAKO........lol

Sorry, can't help you out. I don't really even know what it means. I know it never came up in conversation with my surgeon.

I also say after.

Awwe, give Mr. Yoda a big hug from me, and hug yourself too.....(?). Sorry that didnt make alot of sense. Hopefully now she's on blood thinners, she'll be good. Stressful for you and Mr. Yoda, though, especially when there's a distance. Thats gotta suck. Will you be going back down to visit? Take care, give yourself a break!

I hate housework too, Maria. I instill a Christmas rule to myself, that no decorations come out until the house is spotless. It's a good rule, but then I get stressed.

Mmmmm the shrimp thing sounds good Mandi!! Careful green, you'r apt to go racing to the washroom sliming all the way.....(hey, we could make up a new line in jingle bells 'sliming all the way'). What I like to do green is order what I think I want, which is always waaaaayyyy tooooo much, then take home leftovers. Sometimes my leftovers lasts for days.

You guys are are sooo swell. I am feeling much better, but weak from lying around. I still have to go for an ultrasound, but the meds are working for now. Mandi - I really don't think I was drinking enough water. But I ABSOLUTELY will be now!!!! Ya, I did lose 2 pounds this week, but I shoulda lose 10!!! of course. The real dumb thing about the hospital was that I told them I think it might be my kidneys when I first got there.

:happybday: :happybday2:HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MANDI :happybday2: :happybday:

green, do they remove the saline during your fill to see how many cc's are there? They should, this way you know if your leaking. I'm pretty sure your not, it will be just that magic cc you hit. Sooner or later (hopefully sooner)

Okay, better late then never!!! ....................................So, whats the problem.........oh ya...... How bout a cranium-less, fully clothed before pic???? No???? Today is my 6 month bandaversay, and I promised a pic, but than I got sick. So, as soon as I get rid of the black circles under my eyes I'll have one for ya. Hopefully in a day or two.

LOL....luv the joke. Hey Congrats on the fill. It sounds really, really good!!!! Now, be careful, don't be going and PBing all the time. BTW, was the Doc cute?
