  1. so i'm not sure exactly when senior banquet is, but i heard it was june 12th. and graduation is june 26th. so i want to challenge myself to lose between 45-58 pounds by senior banquet, and if i get almost there by senior banquet, hope to get there by graduation. is it doable to lose 45-58 pounds by then? how many cals should i be having a day since i have no fills because i dont have insurance right now and it doesnt look like i will be getting one anytime soon everytime i want to workout, i end up "not feeling like it anymore" and i know i have to push myself to do it, but it dont work. so i dont know how this is going to work out. can someone motivate me everyday or something? i want to hang up a goal outfit but its not going to happen cause i have no room on my walls and on a hanger doesnt look as motivating. and one more thing, you can also join me if you want (:

    I look like a lion!!!

    rawr, i like your tattoo a lot! (:
  4. i agree with m6c5a90, i regreted getting the band the first week out since i had severe nausea, a week later with new nausea medicine, i felt great, but the week after that on a friday, it came back for another 11 weeks. i feel ok and if i dont i drink water cause it helps. but once youre a ways out, it will be better and you will be seeing results. if you dont think its right for, why'd you get it in the first place? to lose weight cause nothing was doing the job, right? thats why i got it, nothing seemed to work for me until i got this, if you take it back out, youre going to gain all your weight back plus possibly 70 more (what my surgeron said) i had a 6 month testing thing, plus 3 months of waiting for them to make sure i'll do good in surgery, waiting for my insurance to approve, and to get my surgery date, and 4 weeks and 4 days before my surgery date, i had plenty of time to back out, but i didn't because i really want to lose this weight, i really wanted it out for 4 months but i dont want to go through surgery again unless i have to, and well, now its a part of me, it doesnt bother me anymore, so i say, wait it out and just give it a chance to work and you will be happy you made this decission (: take care

    15 years old or around there?

    hello (: i am not 15 and i dont live in texas, sowie ):, but i wanted this since i was 17. i got banded when i was 18. i was banded on july 31st 2009, and im 19 now. i only lost 40 pounds (20 pre band) due to a complication which was nausea(i'm not saying that to scare you or anything, everyone is different and i just have a weaker/sensitive stomach) i haven't had a fill yet cause of the nausea, i was supposed to see my dr last month but my insurance like ran out, but as soon as i get one im going to get a fill :wink2: in june of 2008 i went to a support group or seminar about the lapband and a couple days later, called a hospital the surgeron worked at and one in another state that we visit a lot, they both said i had to be 18. but i got to do my 6 month testings in the 9th month i got good news that i was approved and they called a day or two later to schedual my surgery date. i wish you good luck and if you ever need anything feel free to message me (:

  8. haha that must be nice

    June 2008 Prom

    haha it really is simular, mine didnt have straps tho
  13. oh, sometimes thats they case for me too. and believe me, you're not alone lol. i wanna be able to talk to someone without having to look down or away. im hoping when i get closer to UGW (ultimate goal weight) that i'll have better self confidence too :D i don't wanna be afraid to go up to someone i like and say hi and stuff ya know? anyways, what's your ultimate goal weight?

     

    ahh i see, that stinks lol

  14. yup, that's what they did for me too. yeah i didn't either but i didn't wanna rush it lol

     

    i have a lot too, and i know if i didn't have the band, i wouldn't have missed so much. atleast i got better right? that's not good, why do they keep changing them? i always get mine too :D haha no problem :P

  15. no problem lol, thats good, i haven't been in school monday and tuesday and i dont have to worry about today cause we got a snowday lol but yeah thanks, and yeah when i cheated it made me sick too, so yup just be careful :D

  16. my culture came back and it said i do have a UTI, so they gave me new medicine and i hope it doesnt make me so nauseous like the other one
  17. hey its 6 away from mine lol, thats nice though, you get to visit NYC while youre there, i wanna go there so badly. is that where you have to go for the appointments too?

     

    haha yeah, i was nervous mine wouldnt too. it would suck to pay for insurance that doesnt do nada. i have to wait till tomorrow to call the dr to let them know im not feeling any better. i missed a lot too and they all know its medical issues and i hope they understand, this semester we can't miss more than 15 days or you dont graduate even if you have a good grade, missing tomorrow wouldnt hurt though i'll be at 2 days this quarter if i miss tomorrow but it'll be my last day and i hope i hear news from the culture/lab if i have anythingt and if i dont, what the hell? lol yeah i missed alot with the dr appts too. haha it makes your food go down and then you get hungry again so thats why they dont want you drinking with your meals :D

  18. haha week two out is the only time after surgery i felt the best, but i have a weaker stomach i guess? but you made it yay haha :D week 3 isnt so bad, i go back to high school tomorrow since we had last week off, and i dont really wanna go cause im not feeling well, but good job on the weight loss and yeah i think some people cheat lol hey i did, good luck on going back to college tomorrow (:

  19. haha yeah, i also had to go to a place i've never been to before too and it's an hour and 15 mins away from my house. where's yours going to be at?

     

    yeah it does really suck, i'm hoping to get medicade but idk i loved blue cross blue shield child health care plus, they were great and checked up on me after surgery. i want a good insurance close to what i had one that pays for any doctor appointments including dentist, hospital visits, surgeries and pays for medicine. i dont think the medicine is working cause i woke up with pain during the middle of the night ughh, i dont wanna go to school tomorrow but i dont wanna miss school either ughhhh..haha there ya go and dont drink with your meals :D

  20. i wanted to get checked for that when i was rushed to the hospital on Dec. 2nd when i had insurance but i didnt. and now i just dont have the money for it or else i really would. thanks
  21. i had that when i had severe nausea, it tasted weird to me, i'm not really a tea drinker so it would be hard for me to drink it, but i thought it helped with the nausea anyhow, i'm not even sure a UTI is what i have, i had all the symptoms and everything but i just dont think the medicine is helping, i mean i dont have the migrane or back and adominal pains anymore but last night i went to bed at one woke up not even an hour later with reallly bad adominal pain well around my belly button, it felt like it cramped up and i felt like i was on the urge of puking, it hurt i couldnt sleep on my side for awhile, i dont know what this is, the medicine i dont know, it makes me nauseated even if i eat something with it and again when i took a shower last night my band felt tight again
  22. okay (:, i didnt lose too too much weight yet, but i always wondered
