BandedCG

Welcome Ella! How are you doing since your surgery? How much have you lost? I feel great and can definitely say that my Lap Band changed my life as well. Hope to hear more from you.

Welcome! Good luck with your band. :wink_smile:

My man finally noticed last night. He commented out of the blue that I was getting "skinnier". Made me feel so good!:wink_smile:

I just HAD to tell you guys about my NSV last night. My boyfriend has not said a whole lot about my weight loss other than to say that my boobs are shrinking. :thumbup: Well, out of the blue last night he said, "You are getting skinnier....I can tell." It blew me away. Then I weighed this morning and saw that I had lost (after having a pretty non-productive December). I feel good today!!! Here's to a very HAPPY 2009!!!:wink_smile:

I sent you an email. :-)

You look amazing! Congrats! I can't believe I ran into you on here! Tell Jenn I said "Hello". Cindy

Hey! Welcome!!! :laugh:

I have UHC and didn't have any problems (after submitting the huge packet of information w/ my dr.'s help.) Good luck to you!

Happy New Year! I hope everyone really achieves all their goals for this new year! I'm so excited!

I got the band because I was sick and tired of being fat. And tired of failing at every "diet" coming and going. I just needed an extra "tool" to help me and after much investigation, felt that LapBand was the best option for me. When I found out that my insurance would pay, that settled it for me! I'm so glad I had it done!:laugh: I look forward to my yearly "girl's week" at the beach next summer when I'll look HOT in my bathing suit. I'm ready to feel good about the way I look!

Hmmm....did they have a hard time finding the port or something? You might want to call your doctor. I've only had one fill so far and I didn't have bruising.

Hi! Good luck with your surgery this week! I hope yours goes as well as mine did. I have had no complications whatsoever, and was back at work after 1 week. ps....I LOVE Myrtle Beach! We go every year. (It's about 4 hours from where I live in NC.)

Welcome!!! I was also banded in October. I hope all goes well w/ your foot surgery. I've had episodes with that heel pain and have had cortisone shots in the past (ouch). I have to get my butt in gear and start exercising! I've asked my son to bring my recumbent bike from the basement...I figure if it's in front of the tv, I'll be more likely to use it.

My mom gave me a fitted v-neck sweater for Christmas. When I saw that it was a 1X, I thought "I will not be able to wear this". Oh...and it has horizontal stripes, which I thought I'd never wear again. I'm wearing it today!!!!! It fits! And, I must say I think I look pretty darned HOT! :tongue2: POST YOUR NSV!

YAY! I hear ya about the boots!! I bought some, too with a gift card my brother gave me for Christmas! I was so happy when they zipped up!

Happy Anniversary Jaymie!!! You look amazing!

YAY!!!! I'm excited for you! I wish you all the best! I haven't had any problems at all since my surgery Oct. 6. I love my band!

Way to go!!!!!:tongue2: I am so happy for you!

Congrats! Just say "Thank you." :tongue2:

Since my first fill, I can really tell that I am very tight in the morning. I've started just having a Protein shake before work. I usually don't try to eat anything until around 9:30 am when I have a snack. I think it is great to read what you guys have to say and see that I'm not alone! :tongue2:

mmmmmm....scrambled eggs w/ cheese....mmmmmm Another favorite of mine! :biggrin:

Congratulations....That is great! Loose jeans are wonderful! Mine are getting loose now, too! I haven't had to go shopping for a new size, yet though. Yesterday, I did try on a skirt suit that I had bought on clearance back in the summer. It was too tight when I got it home from the store, but now it fits!!! YAY!!!

Mashed Potatoes w/ Stewed Beef Gravy! Heavenly!!!:biggrin:
