I'd love to go depending if I can get off work at that time.

Hi my name is Peggy and I live in Milton and work in Huntington. I had my surgery at Holzers in Gallipolis, it was a little far but worth it. Peg :thumbup:

Hi I live in Milton and work in Huntington. Anyone near me? Peg :thumbup:

I have only had one fill and I like the way my Dr. did it, he closed it off completely, had me drink some water until I felt it back up, then he took a little out and I could feel the water go down. After just one fill I have good restriction, I am even considering cancelling my upcoming appointment for the second. I wonder if your Dr. would consider doing it this way?

Hi and glad you're here! I'm sorry I'm not up to date on all the lingo..what does SAHM mean? I know what you mean about feeling people looking at you. Don't worry, you are taking steps so that won't last much longer and then they'll be looking at you because you look so GREAT! -Peggy

I have had one fill and my Dr. advised liquids for two days. Well I made it about half a day and said to myself "I feel fine, I can eat". So I did. I was very careful, took tiny bites and I was fine. I am scheduled for another fill on Oct. 3, I actually feel it is tight enough right now..I may postpone that appointment, but I'll wait a couple of days before the appointment and see how I feel.

Hi my name is Peggy, I'd love to add you as my friends on myspace.com/peggysstuff Thanks! Peg

I weighed more after the operation for a couple of days, I think it was all the I.V. I got. I could tell my face and hands were puffier. It eventually starting going down though.

I had my surgery on 7/10/08. The other night, after working from 8-5:30pm, I got home and my husband said "What's for dinner?" I said "I don't know, you'll have to fix somthing." Well after he asked me what was for dinner, and to make him somthing about three times, I finally went off on him too. We got in a big fight about it. Well he did fix himself a steak, burned the outside, still almost raw on the inside, filled the house with smoke and made the smoke detectors go off. Up until that point he had been very supportive but I guess he just had a weak moment. I told him not to even ask me to cook, I'm not going to unless I feel like it. If he asks me again, I am going to politely say no and walk away.

Hi! Thanks for responding. My name is Peggy and I live in Milton, WV. I work in Huntington at the V.A. Hospital as a clerk in Xray. I got banded on 7-10 and am doing good. I used to live really close to Cabell Hospital, and my little grandson had a hernia repair operation there when he was a baby and they did a great job. The insurance companies take so long to approve the lap band, but it's worth it. It's really nice meeting you and write to me anytime too! :thumbup: Peggy

Hi, just looking for some Christian pals in my area to meet with once in a while for support. -Peggy

The liquid diet is difficult alright. I just started pureed foods last night. I'll be so happy when I can eat regular food again.
