Sick was the 1st comment most people sad to me! It was choir members(I am a choir member). We had just lost a woman to the big "C". so, they were concerned. It does take about 40 lbs for people to really notice. When you have to change to a smaller size, I think, then people will. Once you come out of winter clothes people will see a difference, so by Spring! It is disappointing, but you and your hubby know! Congratulations on your 30!!!

Congratulations! If you get to the 90 lb goal, you may be even smaller, like a 14! Best wishes for both your cruise and your new goal! Karen

What's Your Current Band And Fill Size?
kll724 replied to Banderina's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
10 cc band with a 5 cc fill. I have had it 5 1/4 cc and was too much. had to remove that 1/4 cc. I am happy with it the way it is. I have been the same 1 1/4 years now! -
I am 3 1/4 years out and still have to use fiber, and sometimes a stool softener. Don't know why we havw this kind of trouble, if someone else does, I will watch for it too! Best wishes, Karen

Not ashamed, I lived long enough in ND growing up. I lived in Maryland for 42 years. i am very happy living in Florida where cold is in the 40's or 50's. -

When I was a teenager, we went to a drive in restaurant. It was too cold to leave the meal outside, so we took the tray in. we forgot it was there. In the morning, the ketchup had squirted out of teh bottle. It was frozen!!! -

We did this when I was in Minnesota for my father's birthday back in 2005. It was -32. We did it several times, because we thought was cool! -

Hi, Loren, I sent you a message.
-
I can understand why!!!You look fantastic. Bragging is okay in this group!!!
-
Great post! congrats on your weight loss and attitude. That is an important lesson. Karen
-
Its worth it! The health aspect alone makes it worth it. Numerous folks on here, including me, have given up their meds because their blood pressure dropped, cholesterol dropped to normal, etc. It is worth it for your self esteem, too. As wildrose said, follow her advice. Walk, Gas-x and your liquids You will be fine in about a few days to a week. Happy New year!!!!

The day is finally here!!! My Mom and I are on our way to surgery!!

God bless you both. Having a partner to keep you motivated is great. My daughter had her lapband done 2 weeks after me, and my son had his done 1 1/2 years later. Now, my son-in-law had his done this past November. We are a 4 lapband family. Best wishes and God speed to recovery!!!What a way to start the New Year!!! -

Does anyone else worry they will fail with the band?
kll724 replied to dolphintattoo's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I did, but was able to lose my 100 lbs. You can do it, if you want to. Use your tool properly! Happy New Year!!! -
Best wishes and congrats on your new baby. You will probably need a fill to get yourself back on track. But you can do it. Happy New year. Karen

1 year...90 pounds...and some (hard learned) sage advice
kll724 replied to cantbetoothinortoorich's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
Thanks for an update. You have a lot of knowedge to pass on. Best wishes, Karen -
Like Floridays said. Track your foods to make sure you are eating correctly. Small plates and for forks keep me aware stil ltoday and that is 3 years afte surgery. i have been using a salad plate since my 1st consult with a nutritionist. It helps make you aware of food sizes. such as meeats should be the size of a deck of cards. If you have not seen a nutrionist, I would recommend doing so. They are helpful to guide you. Best wishes. karen
