well, I havent been 250 in years...Ive tried...Ive come close..but never made it. It just gives me so much hope that I will do it this time! It makes me feel like I have a whole new life just waiting for me...it does....and it feels great.

I work somtimes for my tattoo guy...I asked him about it. Yes it will shrink and stretch and move....hes suggests that you wait until your weightloss and PS are done....I have a very large tattoo sleeve on my calf...and Im intrested in seeing how much, if any, the weightloss will affect it.

I also traveled to Mexico alone. I was a little freaked out, till I got there. Everyone was so nice and willing to help. My best friend just went alone as well. Its not too big of a deal. Just to be on the safe side I didnt wear or take any jewlery or credit cards. Where in Mexico are you going?

LOL...yeah...He is a real live doctor.

Dr. C is my fill Dr..and I couldnt be more thrilled. I think he is actually several peoples fill Dr. from this site.

Hey everybody! I have a question. I was banded by Dr. Sanchez on May 26th of this year. I got the 9.75 size band and it holds 4 cc. My best friend just got banded yesterday by Dr. Sanchez and she was given the band that holds11 cc. Why is that? Whats the difference? I would also like have any information that might help her along...Thanks in advance!!!! I know if there is one place I can go to get the info I need...its here! :clap2: :clap2:

I was also banded by Dr Sanchez and have after care with Dr. C...Hes really great..isnt he? I go for my second fill next week...

I also live in Louisville and go to Dr. Curry. I have had my first fill with him and the second is next tuesady. I cant tell you how great he is! He gets a big vote from me.

Ive tried them all too..but th worst.... Zenical...I lost weight..and fast...but...what came out of my butt made life a misery. I never knew somthing so bright orange an oily could come out of a person.

Hi Vine, so what you are saying is that...if you have hormone problems..you wont loose weight? I have really high testosterone...and thorough all my research I never saw where hormones play a factor in weight loss. I would love anymore info you have. Thanks!

Same thing happened to me when I tried to eat immatation crab! not as bad...or as long...but it was horrible! I wont touch the stuff.

Hi! anyone being banded by Dr Sanchez on the 11th? My best friend is going it alone...

Hey! Im actually posting this for my best friend. She is being banded by Dr. Sanchez on the 11th of August and I was wondering if there is anyone else going at that time too? If so, could you please send me a PM. thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

HI everyone... I made of pot of chilli last night..and OMG..was it good...but my question is it bad? Here is what is in it.. 1 pound lean ground turkey 1 jug of spicy V-8 I can hot chilli beans 1 can hot and spicy chili beans 1 can kidny beans Thats it! It tastes so damn good though...can anyone do the break down on it?? :help:

Well, I got banded in mexico and I dont have a single problem with getting fills and finding an awesome Dr to take care of any band problems. I spent alot less and I go to a regular DR...just like anyone else. Personally...it was the right move for me.

Has anyone tried the Cardio chair by Body by Jake? My mom gave me one and..DAMN its like running...but your sitting down!! It is a real work out...I didnt belive it would be...but it had become my favorite machine to work out on. I also just got the Core Secrets program..ya know..the big ball you work out with? I love it...its different..and I can tell the difference already! Im still not weighing in..I just cant do it..I know what will happen..and I will get pissy if I havent lost. I go to the DR again on Aug 14th for a second fill ( since the first one didnt do a thing!) and I will report the weight loss..or gain ( NO FREAKIN WAY!) then. Thanks! Everyone!

I was wondering that myself..I havent seen Delarla in along time...I remember when I first started posting..she scared the shit out of me on a daily basis...

Ive been thinking about getting a bike. I guess I just dont know how to get started...gee that sounds stupid...LOL... is biking the way to go???

Hey girls, I am single...and have been for the last 18 months. I was too ashamed to get close to anyone...much less have sex. I guess I am the polar opposite of alot of people on here...Im proud of my scars...in fact...my friends are TIRED of seeing them..LOL. I had been talking to a guy that I went to high school with...we ended up sleeping together...and I was all about telling him about my scars. He thought it was pretty cool....He said he better hook me now before I loose all the weight and realize what a loser he is....LOL...Men....But really...this is me..I made the choice to get the band..it is as much a part of me as my tattoos...and I have to explain them all the time. I just think its too hard to hide and lie. I went to dinner with a friend, a man, and he kept asking me if I was sick becuase I just wasnt eating as much as I used to...So I told him. He was so happy for me. I dunno...I think that it takes too much energy to hide somthing that is going to be a part of you for the rest of your life. I would rather spend the time jumping his bones than worrying about him seeing my scars...LoL

Are there going to be any single men on this cruise???? If im going on a cruise...I want some action! LOL...

Yepp, thats what I have as well.

Ive had my gallbladder out for around 7 years...I dont really have many problems..but..iceberg lettuce does give me fits...I now prefer ceasar or spinach...also...Hot bacon dressing is the devil...it goes straight thru me..must be all the fat and oil.

Ok, Im back! I got my work out room together and it looks great! I had more equipment that I thought!! So, here is what I have been doing. 10 minutes on everything. I know it doesnt sound like much...but I have got to start somewhere! I plan on building up the times every week!! And I just want everyone to know that I have gone down from a mens size 44 to...a 40! Doesnt sound like much...but man..does it look good!! I even got on a 38...but was too tight to wear in public!!. I was a womans 24 when I got my surgery and now Im easily a 20...I even got an 18 on. WOW..I feel good!! Thanks everyone!

OK!! The details are..Derby is the first weekend in May and the derby festival starts a week before. They have a mini marathon as well as a regular marathon...I hope to do them both. I am NOT giving up. It feels good to have a goal. I started on my work out room and its looking great....once I started looking around I saw years of crap I had bought to loose weight...and guess what? Now im using them! Everybody has them...thigh masters, jazzercize steps, that wheel with handles thing...LOL. I guess I see them in a whole new way now... As soon as the derby commission gives the date for next years events I will send you a message...maybe post somthing here? Cool...Im off to jazzercise..

Awesome! I am getting better. I jogged for about 5 min...wich may seem like nothing..but for me it was like running the boston marathon. I have a small goal of getting into good enough shape to walk or run in the mini marathon during the derby next year ( Im in Louisville...and the KY derby is HUGE). So far I have..a treadmill, an exercise bike, a tony little gazzelle, a body by jake ab thingy and one of those huge exercise balls. I think its a good start!! Its just going to become part of my life...a routine. If I set guidelines that I have to do it...it will help me out alot. The room is so big because it an old house with huge rooms. Its very cool...it even has a wrap around porch!! Alright...Im going to set the room up today and get things moving. THANKS!!!!! EDIT! I just had a great idea! I own a Bed and Breakfast...maybe some people would want to come down to KY for derby week and walk or run in the mini marathon?? Derby week is amazing here....thunder over Louisville is the largest fireworks show in the US! Just a thought...and they could stay at the B&B for free! Ok, I'm on a roll...I gotta get moving!
