  1. Hi there! I got your name from the chat board bc I was asking if anyone was pg? and colleen mentioned you were. I was wondering if we could chat a bit? I am currently 9weeks with baby #2 but this time I am post band. Congrats btw!!!

  2. Hi there! Saw your post & hear your frustration. I am from Niagara Falls, NY & was banded in Buffalo. Wondering if we had the same dr? synergy?

  3. Hi there - so sorry I just realized you posted to me back in Dec. I am doing pretty good. I am up & moving all around but not back to excercising yet. Although, I guess having a 2yo is like a workout! I feel like I never really had much time to recoup with her around:) Luckily my husband had 2 weeks off to help me. When were you banded? and how is your sucess & recovery going? Faith

  4. NY is where I've always been so to me it's great - friends, family, etc... and i really love the 4 seasons even though it does get bitter here. Have you always lived in Texas? Where are you in terms of excercising? Wasn't sure if I should return to the gym & resume the classes I used to take - turbo kick, zumba, spinning...your thoughts?

  5. I can't wait to be 30lbs lighter!! You go girl:) Remember though not too fast. Slow & steady!! I can't imagine 80 degrees right now! It's about 25 here & lots of snow! I'm in NIagara Falls, NY. Talk to you soon!

  6. I am actually much better today - probably helps bc I stepped on scale & I am down 14lbs!!!!(In 1 month) I haven't been under 195 in a looong time! I just hope this sucess continues. My daughter is good , better actually now that I am up & moving around & able to care for her more. It was a bit of an adjustment for her. How's all with you??

  7. Hi There! Thanks for thinking of me:) I am a little better just a very upset stomach today. I guess the whole healing process is going to take sometime! I have been paying much closer attention to my portions & realized I am not as hungry as I thought I was. Thanks again for chatting!!

  8. Hi There! I feel a little better but have had a very upset stomach all day:( I guess the healing process is just going to take time! Thanks for think of me:)

  9. Hi there just wondering how your progress is? I was banded on dec 19th 7 have the same stats as you, also i am a sahm. Kind of wondering why i did this,? Just wondering if you are having some sucess?

    post op

    Thanks all for replying!! I am thinking that I maybe mistaking hunger with gas pains!?! I haven't had a bowel movement since thrusday (1 day prior to surgery) and I have a killer stomach ache - going to call this morning. So maybe those "hunger pains" were really gas.??

    Hi all - I was banded Friday am the 19th. So far so good, everyday seems to get better with how I feel. But I am hungry!?! Can I stretch the pouch with liquids bc I am hungry & I have been drinking a lot!! I am on full liquids. But I can drink a cup of broth in 5mins no problems & still be straving 30mins later:( Also do you know when this cling wrap stuff falls off? My port also seems like it's pulsing sometimes>? just wondering if it's all normal/safe? feeling loopy too from meds. But all in all I am so thrilled I have done this for myself & pray I keep feeling better & better. Any tips or suggestions would be super - thanks. I know I also have no restriction until first fill in a month. 12-19 surgery 205 12-21 - 196
  12. Hi Lucky! I am feeling so much better! I was banded on friday am & came home friday pm. I had some heart issues in hospital but all fine now. By Sunday I was changing my 2 yo diaper & getting her snacks - thank god for nap time bc otherwise it's tough trying to recoup with her around!! Luckily my dh takes her out often!! how Are you doing?
