    Fat stories

    Before by BF had her gastric bypass and I had my Lap Band we were in Sears with our children (6 total) The youngest two (about 18 monts old) started running away from us. My friend tried to run after them and slipped and fell, she wet herself because as many of us know big girls can't hold our urine well....When I saw that she was fine we started laughing uncontrollably so much that I then wet myself. So here are two really big girls laughing hysterically with wet pants in the middle of Sears. We stategically left the store by hiding around displays so nobody could see our "oops" which was very visible from behind. We still laugh about this day but in the back of our minds realize why it happened and it makes me a bit sad. HOWEVER That is in the PAST!!!!

    Be honest, does it hurt?

    to be honest....NO. I have a pretty low tolerance for pain and it was OK! I was SO totally scared to have it done and was SO anxious- after it was over I felt silly for having been so scared. One thing that did surprise me- the needle going in didn't really hurt, don't get me wrong you can FEEL it but it wasn't painful. What was wierd was the "pop" sound it made when it went into the port. THAT was wierd. Good luck- you will do GREAT!

    First fill and Thanksgiving?

    Thanks for posting this! I am having my first fill the day before Thanksgiving. My family too does not know I have had this procedure. However since I have 4 young kids they will never know that I didn't touch my plate!
