I joined the gyn and doing cardio dailey and circuit one day and weights the next day. I also just joined a boot camp 96 week program)that is 3 times a week for an hour. It is preety intense.

I eat oatmeal everyday as my breakfast. I occasionally add some raisens

I have 1 14cc band with 3.5cc in. I am going Thursday for .5-1.0

I am just returning from a week long cruise in the Carribean. On Saturday night I was in the elevator and someone made a comment that the 20 person occupancy wasnt right. This guy standing next to me said that 2o guys like me as he pointed to me wouldnt work. Again I was singled out for being fat. He asked what I tgought was a big mistake on his part. I proceeded to tell him how ignornant he was talking about fat people. He mumumbled some stuff to me as I called him and asshole in front of the group. It was probably wrong but I am tired of ignorant thin people making rude comments It felt good unloading on this ahole. He was totally shocked that fatty could speak...lol:cool:

I had my revision surgery on 12/10, I was only sore for 3-4 days. I am 8 days out now and have no pain at all:cool:

I still dont have much of a restriction

I went in this last Tuesday for a fill to find out the port had flipped, I was really shocked when he said he wanted to operate to fix in the next day. It was a short operation and was sore for 2 days but all is well now. When he was in the process of fixing the port he also did a fill

I was banded in August and have lost about 50#, I will be 57 in a few months:cool:

I went in today for my port revision. The surgery only lasted about 10-15 minutes. My doctor dais the port had flipped asa staich had torn. he also added 2cc while he was at it. I have very minor pain now. I hope that my next visit they will be able to hit the port on the first try.

did your body have a reaction to the band to make this happen?

After 5 unsuccessful attempts at a fill I go in tomorrow for a port revision. The doctor is going to add 2cc while he is re-locating the port. How common is the issue of port flipping and does the surgery generally fix it. I read the above post that says a surgery has to be done for every fill and that has me nervous. What is recovery time, active on exercise again and also the diet right afterwards:confused:

Some RiteAid drug stores carry a line of GNC products

I would put it under my pillow and hope that the LapBand fairy visited me:cool:

I am not quite 3 months out and have done two conventions plus a week in Vegas, just be consious of what you are eating and look for mushy or soft foods. I was in Vegas a week and lost two pounds:cool:

you go girl.....:smile2:

I plan to attend and the things I am interested in are: 1. Nutrition 2. Execise 3. Motivational speakers:smile:

Look at it this way; if you lose some weight you can be thin. But they cant do anything to change from being assholes!:drool:

They will fall off on their own in a few days

I wasnt walking much before, I am watching what I eat such as carbs and sweets. I dont eat any fried food, drink plenty of water asnd protein and go to the gym regualrly

I lost a bunch of weight about 20 years ago before being banded. My ex-wife was not happy with my new look or body, she constantly made a point that I did it only so I could attract more women. Some people are just idiots and we need to move on. I am sure you will find someone that appreciates your committment to getting healthier.:thumbup:

I would take a picture of you at your highest and a pic of you or someone you wish to look like(lowest) and post them both on the refridgerator door and by your computer. Looking at where you want to be should be motivation to get you moving. Good Luck!:thumbup:

We had a rep from the Lap Band company speak at a support meeting. He said that a couple of revisions had repaired or improved all problems with their product. He said that the band should last forever:smile:

Most over weight people have sleep apnia and it will not prevent you from having the surgery. I also have sleep apnia and needed 16# pressure to stabilize. I have now lost over 50# and do not use the machine anymore:smile:

If I remember correct, Slimfast is higher in calories and sugar:smile:
