I've talked to others in the chat rm about the hair thing. Most of them said it started about 4-5months & ended 6-7 months. So I hope this is the extent of it for me. :tt2: Well, I go for my first fill in 2 months on monday {THANK GOODNESS}! I really need it now!!!! :tongue: Hang in there everyone! Your all doing great!!!!! Ps~ This morning I FINALLY got to 185!!!! YAAAAAY! I have been at 186 for weeks!!!! Now I gotta stay away from the scale for awhile! :thumbup:

Oh Jay, I'm sorry you had a crappy post op visit. People are stupid. I feel the same way about my doctor sometimes. I think she has NO idea who I am because she has soooo many people she see's. I'm always in & out no convo or anything & I have to drive atleast 1- 1/2 hrs to get there. The day of my surgery I saw her for one second right before & then after I didn't see her AT ALL while I was in the hospitol! It just makes me feel like a number KWIM? As for the port question YES mine was fine then did get worse after a bit. When I bent over it felt like the incision was going to rip open! DON'T BEND OVER!!!!! :tt2: I did cheat a bit on my post op diet too. I had soft food I could really chew up. Like luvs2 said don't do what I did. You don't want to start a downward spiral. Awesome job w/ the weightloss!!!! :tongue: Don't feel like this is the rest of your life. You will change your eating & eating habits but it will get somewhat back to "Nornal" for you. I can basically eat want I want now. Sometimes this is NOT a good thing. :thumbup: Hang in there! Be happy about your weight loss! You will feel better as you lose more! :wink2:

Have any of you been losing hair??? I have noticed it big time. :-(

A little update on me~ I was suppossed to get a fill monday 23rd but couldn't make it. :frown: I haven't had a fill in TWO months :thumbup: but haven't really needed one untill I'd say the last 2 wks or so. Now I really need one & I go this monday. I've started w/ the gym last week & have been doing godd w/ that. I'm a bit frustrated because I have been at 186. lbs for week!!! :thumbup: I'm gonna push the fluids & keep exercising & I know I'll see 185 soon! Keep it up all!!!!!!

DEbbie~How many times have we ALL done weight/W & gained it ALL back ++++?!?! I know I have MANY times.

Hey your doing great!! I've lost a bit slower then most too. Hang in there!

Debbie~ I have to agree w/ this response. Next year you will have all your weight off & she will have gained back her 13 ++++++++!! Keep it up! You deserve to strut your stuff girl!!!!!

Hey gf!! Look how far you've come......w/out that JERK {if you don't mind me saying}. You've done great w/ your weightloss & it sounds like you like your place now :thumbup: . Keep it up hun!

WTG!!! You should be proud for holding your ground & not giving in! Believe ME I've been there MANY times myself....we all have. I don't always go the right way either. Glad your doing well. As for me, I'm getting a bit frustrated w/ myself. I have been going up & down w/ the same 2-3 lbs for ages now :w00t:!!! I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I really wish I could of gotten my fill today but now I gotta wait another week & I can really feel the hunger coming back. :frown: On a higher note.....I DID go to the gym again today :thumbup:. Luvs2~ I could not bring myself to RUN on the tredmil YET. All I could picture was me flying off it lol!!!

I have had my thyroid checked many times in my life & it has always been normal before. I take 2 flinstones daily. I could be doing better at getting a more balanced diet. :w00t: I'll talk to Dr. Vernon about it next time. I got my app. rescheduled for monday.

woooo whoooo!!!! This is your first step in the right direction!!!! :w00t: I LOVE my band!!!!!
