Hey 50 & over gang We have a new spot
barneygirl replied to IndioGirl55's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
BOOBS, ok now that I have your attention(just kidding) What do you all think of a boob lift and a little size added after 50? Do you think it would be worth it? I mean who will see them? I am not ready yet but w/in the year I hope. Is there anyone here who has or would do it? I am so confused. Thankyou in advance. -

Back to the Band...after 3 years
barneygirl replied to cegj29's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I somewhat understand where u are coming from. I have been banded for 2.5 years and only lost 43lbs. I am now starting over and have had a really good week I am determined to work w/my band to lose atleast 43 more pounds. Keep in touch and hopefully we can do this thing. -
I take effexor and so far I have not had a prob. swallowing. I have heard many times to put the powder in applesauce. I have so many ?s to ask u about prozac and anxiety. I know it works for depression just so worried it would put me over the edge on anxiety I have constant anxiety it never stops I am fine on my meds. but should change. I do not know if u know about effexor or not but I do need to get off eventually. Please keep in touch.

I have failed my band - SUPPORT GROUP
barneygirl replied to Tabithan's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
21/2 yrs. and the only weight I have lost is the 36# I put on to qualify for the surgery. I really hate myself. What is the sleve? How does it work? So many people get rid of their band and get the sleve. Any ideas? -

barneygirl replied to ghannouge's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
well I'm going to try it. -
when I had menengitis(sp)? I had to do my own pick line and that went to my heart. I would do my own fill in a sec. if I had the right supplies. It takes me 3.5 hrs. time and $65.00 each fill.

How the Lap-Band actually works, fills and refills
barneygirl replied to Wendell Edwards's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I think you got it this makes sense, I do get a fill on Thurs. well see if it helps. Thankyou. -
I hope someone here can help w/this ? about the lapband. I do not know how to start a new thread so I thought this looked like a good spot for my concerns. If u chew chew chew so food does not get stuck then it must go through to the bigger part of your stomache, in this case u can still eat alot. If food does not go through then it is stuck trying to go through and u vomit it back up. Can anyone please explain how the band works or is suppose to. Thankyou

barneygirl replied to Wendell Edwards's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Please help w/this ? I am about in tears trying to figure all this out. If you chew chew chew so the food does not get stuck then it must go through to the bigger part of your stomache, in this case u can still eat alot. I have had 5 fills I can eat tons still as long as I really chew and I do eat alot. I have only lost 20 pounds in 8 months I thought I understood how this works but I am know cofused. -
First Six Months of Lap Band: Average Weight Loss??
barneygirl replied to bwaydiva's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
Man, you inspire me! -
I finally kicked my butt and kicked it good and started working out. I had surgery Dec. 31, 09. I have lost apr. 25# I joined a gym that is just like curves w/ lots of x-tras love it! Only thing is it is in an old mortuary and I am such a 47yr. old chicken. I guess I better get over it. I would love to have a ticker tape but have given up on that. My goal to start is atleast 3 times a week at gym and some x-tra out door walks. Have a great week.

I agree w/you when I see trees and young children playing, (whether they are gay or not) nature in all her glory, to me that is heaven. I love my life here and I do good I am not perfect and some of the stuff I have done would be considered wrong by some, but I have never intentionally hurt someone or any critters. So if there is a heaven I get to go. We just need to be nice to each other, unless the other sucks then you can be onery to them.:ohmy:

Have you used CURVES?
barneygirl replied to megster27's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I love it even when I was not dieting I lost weight and inches, I am one of those people though who is not in the best of shape maybe if I was it would not work as well for me. But I do love it.
