lol no, that doesnt make me mad, but 4 people thought the same thing now, but im not, i got my monthly friend last month before i got my depo shot and i havent done anything since july 26th

i was thinking that! but i forgot to bring it up last week when i saw my doctor. i read on a website a few weeks back of the symptoms of being alergic to the band and i had like 6-7 of the symptoms.. is there any plastic in the band material aswell as the silicone? cause i had a plastic barbell in my eyebrow and it rejected. so hmm i really hope he could find out why, and if he ever does i will surely let you guys know! thanks, i wont let anything get in my way , thanks again! (:

haha yeah, it sure does. me too. today, im actually feeling a bit better, but i think i still want it removed so i wont have to worry about getting sick again *sigh*. haha. hmm thats dumb, she should be supporting you. maybe im not even sure either lol. trust me, you barely feel it, and when you have a hot guy piercing it, all your pain goes away lol but i really didnt feel anything. (: nice, theres a lot of piercings i wanna get but yeah they have to be put on hold for now. awhh, cheer up, you'll be okay. it took a long time for me to even get it, it was a good thing though, and im glad it took a long time, and im glad i got it done over the summer, but that could just be me. well what you could do to help yourself a little, practice some of the rules, i dont know what your dr.'s rules would be but i'll tell you what mine were..i had to count my colories pre op so i dont go over 1,000 cals and i had to have 80 grams of Protein. but id keep the cals at 1200 and the protein about the same...dont drink 30 mins before or after your meals, eat small pieces, eat slowly. always eat at a table so you can concentrate on your chewing(chew atleast 30 times) eat more fruits and veggies and dont forget the protein . start trying Protein shakes, start trying to cut out junk food, probably have it every 2-3 weeks, start exercising, walking, do the biggest loser workout dvd (you can really feel it) oh by the way, i think thats what im gonna do also whenever i get it removed is to do the biggest loser plan, like i have the biggest loser cookbook and i have the dvd (:...and ill follow the rules as if i still have the band like i said before...whenever you go to the appointments, hide your papers where you know your sister wont find them, i hid my papers from my brothers but i told them after i got it done cause i didnt feel right if i didnt, but keep the information somewhere safe. the next time she tries to put you down, just tell her, her words mean nothing to you. its alright, i like helping someone when i can (: you're welcome (: haha yeah! ohh believe me, me too :tongue2: haha same here

thanks (: i'm not feeling as bad as i did, my stomach still hurts tho and i sometimes get pain near the band around my stomach. i'm still going to keep the option of removal in mind and im still going to ask my dr. i'm going to give it a month and a half, if it comes back i want to remove it, and so far it i had it 3 times and the last time was the worst. i cant risk missing anymore school. we'll see what happens i guess i actually kind of want it removed no matter what =/ so i wont have to worry about getting sick again...kind of dumb too hmm owell

yeah it said on my paper to avoid them but I'm not sure if it said I could have them after six weeks I'm not sure yet

cool, I don't know why I can't have bananas =, I tried a pear though and it tasted so good

oh and I can't have corn either

bad haha yeah after wednesday i cant miss anymore either, but im so scared that ill get sick again so therefore id have to miss school =( and thats also another reason why i want to get the band removed, i cant risk getting sick anymore. lol sometimes thats how i see my brother lol but he takes care of them pretty well. oh wow, what a meanie lol i dont think i can do that, i have to start it at the begining of the year, so im just gonna wait and do it next year (: i was gonna get venoms but i decided i just want one tongue piercing lol its ok, it does look cool though (: yeah i agree with that, it was least painful but i barely felt it when i got my eyebrow pierced so its a tie lol. thats good then haha (: haha yeah i know right? i dont like people like that, they're only in it for your money. oh man, that sucks, how rude. wish ya luck on that though (: yeah i cant wait and the best thing about next weeks appointment, we have a half day at school so i'll have time to relax and stuff before we go, get to leave at 9:48 while everyone else has to stay til 10:28, love the early dismissal (: and the appointment is at 1:30 or 3:30 cant remember lol ughh

hate when that happens lol i know =/ . ahh thats not good, feeling better?..lol thats good, then you wouldnt have to chase them around lol. thats not good either lol he should get that fixed. i dont like when people get so drunk >.< i tried apple juice but unfortunately it dont work for me ahh lol yeah its so gross eh? ohhh, you have a Boces too? sweet theres one where i live too, they also call it CV-Tech, i was gonna go there to take cosmetology =/ being sick, i had to make a hard dicission and tell my councelor about it and dropped it ):..haha nice. ohhh i use to have snakebites too, i got them pierced at different times though, the second one i got done on my 18th birthday and she pierced it wrong too and it wasnt even, then i changed it like the 3rd day of having it and later got infected and took it out. the one i had longer got messed up ever since i took it out at the dentist soo i took it out boo and my eyebrow, it rejected, stinks, but i think it was due to the plastic jewlery/cheap. blahh so all i have now is my tongue, nose, industrial, 2 standard earrings on each ear and my 1st holes are stretched to 5/8". cant wait to get more. one tongue piercing is good enough for me lol. haha i think id die if it happened at a friends house id be SOL haha. awhh atleast its back to normal i want a lot of land lol thats funny cause people think we're rich too and i really dont know why lol. awh, that stinks, my insurance is blue cross blue shield and with that one you need to be 18 =/ good luck (: its always more exciting in town, and nope, not any better, last night when i was writing back, i started feeling really nauseated and it sucked so bad, so i walked around for awhile and layed down, i woke up this morning and i was sooo thirsty and when i got a drink, it started coming back *sigh*

yeah but there's not a lot in it, not enough to be taken out. I already asked, So idk, it's so confusing I'm not sure what else could be causing it. One minute I think I'm feeling better, the next I get really nauseated, happens everyday, I can't enjoy anything My dr isn't even sure what's causing it. He said something like the only thing he could really do is remove it, if it don't get better or something like that I really don't want to live my life like this I really have felt miserable every single day so far...

dude! i was replying back on my ipod and i was getting close to being done and it dies on me! then i put it on the charger, and all i wrote was gone, grrrr, >.< anyways i'll start over. yeah, its supposed to be the best year out of them all. and so far it sucks cause of being sick =/ i'm hoping that when i get the band out, my body will be at peace once and for all and i can enjoy my last year. yeah atleast, my mom is a stay at home mom too but her and my grandma watch my brothers kids every day besides fridays and sometimes sats and suns so its hard for her to leave the house cause my grandma cant do that on her own, but atleast now i know my teacher can bring it to me (: you have a nice mom (: when i was really sick, my mom use to buy me sprite or ginger ale, it use to help my stomach all the time, and i guess i could have it but it has to be flat, gross! i could never drink flat soda eww. my school does that too, some kids do take senior classes cause theyre smarticle lol idk thats how i see it lol thats good you have some friends in one of your classes. i only have one best friend in one of my classes and thats gym, people in my other classes are friends but i dont usually hang out with them but i talk to them lol thats confusing. i think my school does that too but im not sure haha. needles dont really bother me but the only ones that do are IV needles cause i had a bad expeirence with them when i was younger, i use to be very afraid of needles when i was younger too, its weird. and i didnt like the needles i had to get in my stomach before and after surgery, they kind of burned O.O. i love piercings lol i have 10 but i use to have 13, miss them, =/ i was supposed to get my lip repierced the weekend beofre school started, i felt kinda ok but when it got closer to leave i started feeling sick, i didnt want to get sick on them or faint, so i didnt go ): im thinking about getting it done after the removal. i got my monthly friend when i was ten lol i was freaking out cause i thought something was seriously wrong lol but thats weird, it stopped? i dont think mine has ever did that. well thats a good end note (: it takes about less than 10 minutes to go to town here in the spot where i live, i live on a buisy-ish road but i dont live in the town, i have a nice patch of land too, sometimes its peacefull here too but i rather be closer to the country part. (: yeah i dont think id want to live in the town either, but id like to hang down there, if i was feeling better that is lol

haha welcome (: yeah maybe (: it really does, it's my last year of high school and I feel like I'm missing so much = yeah one of my special teachers (I guess she's a special ed teacher) brought me my homework, I usually email her when I'm out, she said if I was gonna be out longer to let her know and shell tutor me. Mymom won't pick my homework up for me, ugh. Yeah I know right, a lot of people I know and see everyday all know I've been sick, I guess that's helpful so they could let the techer know right? Haha (:. I like the shot cause you don't have to take a pill everyday and you don't have to worry a bout missing one andddd the best part is you don't get your time of month (: Haha awesome Yeah, you're right Oh really? Man that sucks

I barely eat anything now and if I do eat anything, I end up throwing the rest away. I take my time when I eat so I'm not eating fast. I'm not hungry for food, I wish I can actually eat some. When I watch, smell, hear, or even think about food MAKES me want to vomit, I'm NOT kidding!! Just because I want to get the band out DOESNT make me a quiter, sometimes not everything works for everyone. What you say to me won't bring me down, I want you to know that. I will succeed and I know I will cause my brother is a great pusher/motivator and his gf will help me out. I will NOT get fat, I will lose weight with great success, yes I put my life in risk to get this band, my life just isn't the way it should be, besides losing the weight. I haven't felt like myself at all and I haven't felt happy... NO I'm not thinking of food, I don't want to eat food. Instead, I feel like I have to force myself to eat my meals, I have to when I take my antibiotics, I've been on those since Monday September 14th, not feeling better, sick to stomach/nausea wise. Are you kidding me?! I'm not missing food one bit, got it?

haha its awesome :blushing:. yeah i guess it doesnt. i know you'll do great (: i want to know what it feels like to be a healthy person too. haha yeah totally. i know right? it sounds scary lol try practicing chewing and when you get the surgery, you'll be pro when you get to regular foods :biggrin: atleast 30 times ahh lol. its weird cause some of my classes you can miss 25 days and then in others you can only miss 13 its dumb lol. i really dont want to be missing any, but i dont feel well enough to go, yeah it does suck blahh. i wish the same too ): and i dont think a fill would help right now, it might make things worse O.o nope, my nausea pills kinda dont even work so heh, and i guess im not supposed to have peptobismol, well lol thats not good, i have birthcontrol too but i have depo i get a shot every 3 months and i dont have to swallow a pill ahh haha, yeah the stories are interesting i wish they really were lol . thats cool, i dont like appartments that dont allow pets , awh sweet :biggrin: lol ohh that stinks, i live in a sort of a buisy town lol

I'm very upset it's not working for me too, it just sucks, my brother lost it the old way and has kept it off for 9 years, his girlfriend said she'll help me out. Thanks (:

haha, we have things in common :blushing: my body hasnt ever reacted to something before, im guessing my body doesnt want to get along with the foreign object and i have a feeling its not gonna get use to it or else it would have by now. i dont think anything would go wrong for you (: i dont think they change anything, the only different ones i heard was the realize band and the different sizes. but im pretty sure they all work the same way. the kind i have is just called lap band. it is indeed, i thought i was feeling fine today, but i spoke too soon ): PBing is very painful. heres what my book says about Pbing-ingestion of a piece of food that will not pass through the stoma causes great discomfort, creating a thick saliva ("slime" and PBing) which is the need to regurgitate the contents of the stomach. this is not the typical forceful vomitting of the pre-band days, filled with chunks of food, but typically pinkish goo of half digested food plus the offending chunk. that was from Lap-Band For Life The Complete Patient Guid To Success with The Lap-Band by Ariel Ortiz Lagardere MD FACS. so yeah its digusting lol you just have to make sure you chew your food very well and slowly and small bites and you should be fine. hmm idk lol. i know i have a feeling it wont go away, im so tired of it, i felt so sick i missed a week of school, that makes me sad. i still cant believe that i was the one that the band chose to make my life hell >.< i wish i was doing better too, if i was feeling better id be outside doing something, its so beautiful out, ugh but idk. awh, thanks (: i know you'll do fine, no more horror movies for you lol read some success storys, those might help ohh thats awesome, i bet they feel just like a husky, and wolves are cute :biggrin: same here, the eyes are lovely, they're piercing :biggrin: one of my friend has two huskys, the normal black kind, he has blue eyes, and she just got a puppy back in may i think and shes a red husky with green eyes ohh i know where that is kind of lol

I feel like I'm always the odd ball lol. I know there's a band called realize band, some bands are smaller which you get less fills and some bands are bigger and you get more fills if you need them. Yes it was very difficult but I thought it would get better if I touched it out a little longer, and it's been way too long lol I wish I could have taken it out then I told him I wanted it out but he said that since I could keep Water down he said to hang in there, I guess it was too early to get it out, I guess you got to wait 5 weeks before you get it out heh I I'm 7 weeks starting tomorrow holy cow so I've been sick almost for a month that will be on Monday oh my god lol that sucks. Pbing isn't fun sliming either lol, have you read about that yet? I know, I'm very happy with my weight loss so far, but I think it's cause I haven't been able to really eat anything. It's weird cause I was hungry earlier and nauseated at the same time and I didn't eat anything cause just the sound of food makes me wanna vomit lol not good at all. I want to be healthy and happy but being icky doesn't help ): boo stupid icky-ness. Thanks but it's ohkay (: me too Welcome, people did the same to me too and I was still nervous but not as much, they give you stuff to relax you, so that's good (: yeah I think it's normal to be nervous, I'm sure everyone is, but for me it was better when they did the IV and gave me stuff to relax me, the put a nausea patch on(which I didn't think helped at all) the other stuff they gave me for nausea (I didn't have nausea till like midnight and I was banded at 7am and out around I don't even remember god that's sad lol Me too lol Awh :thumbup: palmeranians are cute, I don't think I've ever seen a mini one (: they're cute lap dogs oh I also forgot to say I like minitire pinschers too and I think it'll be awesome to have a husky that looks like a wolf, wolves are so pretty :smile2: I am too haha awesome, are you close to the Adirondack Mountains?

thanks, I sure hope I get better But I really don't think it's made for me. I'll give it a little more thinking to do, but I hope I can get it out in November, by then I can come up with a healthy food plan and a good exercising plan I just don't know why I had to have a crappy time with the band, I thought by now I'd be back to normal, but I'm not and I just can't take it, so I really want it out I'll do what ever it takes to keep losing I'll never get another weight loss surgery, I think it's not for me

thanks (: my mom just bought some of that yogurt yesturday, so i will try that. well for 3 days last week i only had nausea in the morning then friday it came all day, not badly tho, then starting saturday up to now, i have it all day long if nothing gets better by sept. 30th, im going to talk to my surgeron about getting it removed, he said he didn't know what else to do if the nausea doesnt go away besides getting it removed, i know its stupid, butttt what's the point if im going to be sick all the time ya know? i had nausea right from the start. if i do get it removed, i'll follow the rules still and pretend as if i still have it in i made it under 200, i'm 199.5#'s now. ya know, maybe the band isnt right for me, i know, i know, keep positive, i'll do great and stuff, but i wanna FEEL great and i haven't felt great, i dont even remember what it feels like, or even remember what it was like to be happy, i do remember i felt it back on july 30th, day before surgery. i wanted it out since my first week post op, sad i know. i'm just so sick and tired of being sick all the time, i just want it out, maybe i'll be happier, maybe i'll feel like myself again. i dont want anyone to talk me out of it ): i know you all will think im stupid, but i just cant take it anymore!! i'll prob gain some weight, but im not gonna let myself fall back to where i was, you think i'm that crazy?! i'm gonna work my butt off to get to goal, i'm more motivated now than i ever was! if i get it removed, which i want to, i'm gonna keep taking my time eating meals slowly and take 30 mins to eat, drink 30 mins after and exercise for an hour everyday, which i should deffinately be doing now, but i feel pukey right now. i just dont want anybody talking me out of it...

i know right, i was thinking, maybe the band isnt made for me ya know? ive wanted it out since aug 7th lol it just sucks, if im going to be sick all the time with it, whats the point ya know? some people say "just tough it out" or "hang in there, you're doing fine!" its soooo hard >.< id just rather have it out and feel great, i bet my stomach would be happy haha. yeah hopefully id feel better by then, im sorry for saying this so much but i rather have it out so i wont have to expierence a PB or sliming, ah i dont know why i made this decission, its a good long decission to make, i guess i never planned on having nausea and everything else im having, i planned on having a happy life once i got banded, the main thing i knew i was gonna have was gas pains, and i barely had them. well thats good im not scaring you (: i was nervous too, it was my first major surgery, but its really nothing to worry about, it felt like i was in and out, the only thing i can remember is i was in the operating room and thats all i remember. im pretty sure you'll do just fine (: lol yeah it makes sense, i remember one year for christmas, i was 8 and i got a puppy, i miss him, but i always get them small, i like watching them grow (: maybe, i'll just go out one day and come home with a puppy lol my fav kinds are, dobermans, german shepherds, huskies, black and chocolate labs (: and i just saw that you live in new york, me too (:

okay so it didnt go away that day ahh and i still feel sick, i dont know if i said this but i missed school 3 days this week. monday i went to the dr and found out i had a bad bladder infection, so she gave me some antibiotics for that and it made me feel worse than i did. tuesday i felt okay ish in the morning but i stayed home just in case, and good thing i did cause when i woke up i felt so sick to my stomach. i kinda feel better but when i eat my stomach feels icky, this morning was horrible though, i still feel like i gotta vomit. i saw my surgeron today, and he doesnt know whats causing it, he prescribed me prilosec, if it doesnt work, i'm most likely going to get my band out, cause i deffinately cant live like this (everybody is different, and i dont mean to scare you if i am) if i do end up getting it out, i'm going to pretend i still have it in and follow the rules still. i'm pretty sure you'll do fine, have you ever had surgery before? dont worry about what i said, things happen, everyone is different, everyone tolorates things differently and i guess i just have a weaker stomach..but i want it out lol. my friend likes it (: im excited for you, im happy i got mine started, but i just cant stand the nausea and upset stomach all the time, so ive been talking to my mom about getting it taken out if i dont feel better by september 30th (i see my dr this day and im gonna talk to him about it if it doesnt go away) ahhhh awh i really want a puppy, but since we have some many kitties my mom wont get a puppy, 5 of my cats were born on my book shelf lol i want a puppy so bad though, sometimes i wish they were puppies lol
