Hey! The support group......to be honest, no, I don't really like it so i'm sure you wouldn't like it either. I go with my coworker who just had the bypass..(we both used Dr. Mailapur). But like i said, I am the only bandster who shows up. So I feel out of place most of the time. I have only been to 3...one before surgery, and 2 since surgery. My first one after surgery, we were all giving our testimonials and almost all the bypass patients were talking about how they don't have any cravings for the bad food and no hunger and i was sitting there wanting to leave...I was in a big "blah" stage with LOTS of HUNGER and cravings and anger from missing food. Even though we are all supposed to follow the same diet plan, bypassers and banders have separate issues and we go through different things. I wish we had a band support group, but until then, i guess you and this site will be mine.
Have a good weekend!!! -
Hey Shannon!!! I am so glad you are feeling better!!! Woo hoo!! I leave in an hour to go to my appointment for my unfill. I hope that's all i need too. I have been so miserable the past week and had no problems before my first fill. i will definately let you know. I go to work tonight so i may not be back on the computer until tomorrow.
And i'm the same way.... i don't like body pictures. i have taken a couple since surgery to mark my progress, but i don't even have a complete body photo of myself before surgery because i was so embarrassed.
But you look great and one day, we will not be so afraid of full body pics
Have a good day girl and i'm so glad you are feeling better
Talk to you soon, Julie

60 pounds is soooooo awesome!!!!!! I'm so proud of you. I'm ok, i have had a lot of outside stressors going on here lately, and of course, it makes me want to eat comfort foods and all the wrong foods. It's a long story that i will save for another day... So glad to hear from you!!!! Talk to you soon, Julie

Yes, I love my floppy ragdoll!! lol.. He is so sweet, but he is also a little clown. He loves to hide and attack your feet!! He is already getting darker and bigger so who knows what he will look like in another year or two? When i put up albums, i will put some pics up of him. I'm still trying to figure out how to get a background on my profile. Yours looks so nice. I guess i'm getting too old for catching on quick to this computer stuff...lol Guess i need tips on that too..haha Well, talk to you later!
