Mandi, Mandi, OMG,Holy Crap!!!!!!! Iv'e been on this website religously every day for a year, sometimes 3 or 4 times a day. The one time I'm away for a couple days THIS happens to you!!!!! I'm soooooo sorry, I didnt know til just now!!!!! WTF, whats up?????? A TOTAL DE-FILL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Whats wrong, has anyone even told you yet. Why?????? I feel terrible that you had to go threw this, I'm just sick about it. I'm glad your feeling better now, and have some releif, and that it isnt a slip, but what was it????? :hug: Poor you!!!!!

Unless I'm mistaken your surgery is tommorow. Best of wishes to you. You'll be great!!!! Let us know how it goes!!

...........LOL........better make sure you can blow them out quickly, ouch!!!

Okay, I have a weird NSV today. Yesterday, I had someone who I work with (for 8 years) take a double look at me ( a male), then said, 'gee, you look good today'. As Im saying thanks, I wanted to say......Oh, thanks JERK, your the one who wouldnt give me the time of day or answer my questions just last year, remember???? But I didnt. Took the NSV and ran.

Today is my 1 year anniversary of my "deciding moment" or "when I hit rock bottom" . One year ago today I had to go to a wedding. I went out and bought a new outfit, told(lied) myself that I looked good before I went, and had a pretty good time..........that is until the next day when I downloaded the pics. OMG!!!!! I was devasteded, mortified, depressed, shocked, sick and KNEW THAT MOMENT enough was enough. I had already done some research on Dr. C. but wasnt convinced "I" needed the lapband, until that very moment. I booked my consult right away and the rest is history. I thought I would share that "Holy Crap" moment today, and would love to here others 'deciding moment', too. If you look at the picture on the right you can see my big gut hanging out, Ugh!! ------------------------------------------ Okay Mandi, your right it's kinda depressing. So I added two new pics. There not my favourite(crappy outfit, bad make-up)but I touched them up a bit. I don't want this thread to be MY before and afters though. I want to hear (and see hopefully) everyones deciding moments!!!

Good Luck tommorow on your surgery Yasmina!! You'll be fine. Anyone else having there surgery this week?????

I ate a sandwich yesterday. Thats why I know I need another fill. Mind you, I picked some of the crust off. I understood that bandsters WITH proper restriction shouldnt really be able to eat bread, but that dosent mean they can't, expecially if there ready for another fill. No?????

Best of Luck Gaffer and becca!!!! You won't need it, everything will go fine!!!!!

Wheezy, thats good news about your house. Hang tight at work, and ya, enjoy a martini or two or ten, lol. If you don't like to drink alone, I can arrange to have one with you.LOL

Ahhhhh, Im getting exccited for you guys!!! :clap2: :clap2:

lol, gotta do wht ya gotta do!!

Woo Hoo absteph, you go!!!!

Thats a good idea Gaffer. No praaaaablem, Astrotoes!!!

Okay Mandi, don't say I never listen to ya!!! Going back....

Well my highlites went well, I really like them. Thanks to all me well-wishers, what a great support system we all have here!!!! Well, another little glitch on the road of life........I 'm feeling like I should get another fill. Yes, I just got one 2 weeks ago. I initially lost 3 lbs....good! Then this week gained back 1.5.....bad!!! I also have felt NO more restriction than before. I cannot believe this myself, but it is true. I am getting a little bit longer out of my meals, but no more restriction. I actually havent even PB'd (not that your suppose to), and I've been eating sandwiches, buns, steak, etc... it is sooo weird. I know its there, cause she pulled out 1.6 before she gave the fill to me. So anyways, I e-mailed the clinic, they said they cannot do another fill inside 14 days, cause sometimes it takes a while to settle in. She said if by Monday(tommorrow) I still feel no difference to call and they'll take me in right away for another fill. I can't believe this, it is soooo strange to me, but I really need a kick-start, so I'm calling tommorrow!!!!!

Sounds like your on the mend!!

MMMMmmmmmmm Ensure:hungry: , but where do you put the candle????

I can't help ya Hugi, sorry.

I'm sooo sorry, I'm sooooo behind on all these posts. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Me neither?????

Good for you to get on it right away!!! I'm sure it will be fine.

Yikes, I'm sooooo behind on here. Congratulations Dame J, glad everything went well!!! Yes, I believe that becca and gaffer are next on Wednesday!!!!

Awe neenaugh, I feel so sad for you. I know that I would be EXACTLY like you, I need my band!!! How long with a de-fill? I forgot. Hang tight girl!!
