well sky its hard for me to tell but i see the surgeon this thursday i will keep intouch to let you know.

you didnt lie some one at church asked me the same thing but before i can answer she said who is he?? aint that about ah*&%$ like thats the only time i can loose weight if a man around ( never did before ) but anyway she ask me what i was doing? i told her walking with the lord and minding mine! i know that might be mean but hey she asked for it and the truth is i did pray for this..and i pray that i finish my mile a day so hey i am walking with the lord AMEN?..lol sorry its late im being silly but if some ask at church just tell them its personal and thank them for the comp' and smile.

im on the same meds gluc and my doc ok'd me to take mine i did no problem it has to disolve at some point one doct did the surgery and my PCP ok the changed i double check with the surgeon since she would know more about what i can take oral i did fine as a matter of fact i have not taken the med the 2nd week of surgery ( 05-05-08 ) blood pressure med none! at night my sugars are 110-113 ams are lower so why bother taking them im sure you've heard this a million times..before stoping any type of meds check with your doc, i was the 1st pt of my PCP to have the band so im educating my MD bringing him Imfo and he went to a semi just to make sure he recived the correct imfo'

Congrats young lady keep up the good work!

greetins all i was banded on 05-05-08 1st fill on 05-28-08 and lost a total ( including pre-op ) 38 pounds im feeling good i pray i keep it up my body can be like a mule some times i hear so many things on what cal intake people should be on many say 1400-1800 ???? who counting ?? im not good or bad ???

greetings my name is alberta from california..banded on 05-05-08 by Dr. Karen Mackenzie of visaila calif (awsome doctor ) as far as i can tell 1. cheese is very high in fat so becarefull of what kind of cheese your eating, the band is made to hold solids foods, yogurts will just slip through .you want to enjoy your foods dont get me wrong nothing wrong with getting full fast but you need your nutrientions, and vita, your doing great with the exersice and your looseing dont forget muscle weights more than fat. trust me i wish i was able to walk more but working 12 hours shifts at a hospital and off 3 days it gets kida hard to put in the work but i walk a mile on my off days anddo other types of exersice and i felt it wasnt enough till i start seen my body shaping & molding so hang in there my sista!

WOW ! you lost 100 in just 9.5 months? you go girl! im sorry hello my name is alberta im a single mom of 4 banded on 05-05-08 my goal is to loose a total of 138 so far i lost 28 pounds can you tell what you ate & exerise ?? please so that i too can do well . Thanks, Alberta of california

hello i was banded on 05-05-08 my doc told me a glass 30min b4 each meal and a glass 30mins after thats it. im doing fine no dehydration bowels are fine so good luck BUT allways talk to your doc he/ she knows you better than us

Greetings! my name is Marie im in california your right the water retention is a pain but i must admit i only get it after i walk a mile. my blood pressure & blood sugars has come down a lot im so happy! im starting to notice that my port area is achy a bit for some reason i dont know if its from walking or what but i return to the doctor on the 19th hopefully im healing .

i understand you very well. i have been band a month lost 26 pounds plus 12 before surgery but i still feel lost i need a mentor it nice to be able to talk to people who been there donr that. now this may sound goofy but how often should i weigh my self weekly or bi-weekly ??

humm sounds like a good idea maybe with the water work outs i can get a "lift "on these arms

good girl! keep up the good work i had went to curves but i got tired of the ugly looks as if i was 600+ or something to me its rude i rather for someone to say hello how are you in a friendly voice then i t wouldnt bother me if they stared so hard who knows maybe i am were they use to be go fig ..lol ya never know

i think i can go to the gym if i had a partneer i just go to the local high school track and walk a mile on my off days from work but i rather go to the gym and get a complete work out. banded 05-05-08 298/ 280/ 272

i understand i had done everything my insurace told me to do plus they claimed i need a pych eval( i paid for )then turned everything in just for them to say "We have our own Doc" so i need to see them before anything ,it took me 2 months to get in then the insurance approved it a week later after that so i understand. keep calling everyday call and see if there was a cancelation

2 thumbs up to you!

you look good! if not read your comment wrong you got banned a year ago and your down to 160 you've done a beautiful job i weight 272 and i want to get to 160 i too have a stubborn mule body so i understand any advise to me ? i got banned 05-05-08

i am lost! many people tell me to stay off the scale , many say weight in every week, some say dont do that becuase if you dont loose you might get depressed... yeah go fig ! i want to be on top of things but not ahead of anything.. i was told 1-2 pounds a week is nornmal but i hear other complain if they loose 3-4 pounds a week so whats the deal???

i was band 05-05-08 and so far lost 26 pounds but i need a good excerise plan can any1 help me think of 1 ?

you go girl! i was banned on the 05-05-08 lost 22pounds so keep up the good work

linda this is what i did and it worked for me. drink a glass of water 30 min before each meal and a glass 30 mins after a lot of times its not food that you want i did the same thing your doing and trust with all the water ( 64oz) you will stay full not eat as much.. i hope i help a little but everyone is different so hang in there!

yes thats what i went through but you need to drink a glass of water 30min and after your meals, maybe you need a nother fill call your doc.
