My Life as a Bandster

[Doddie63 6]

Bandito: With all that you have on your mind, you are tremendously successful. To not show a weight gain is awesome. Think of what would be happening if you did not have the band. Emotional eating can get out of hand, but your band is working. Doddie

Hi everyone. Sorry I haven't been around. My mom is not doing well and I have been away a lot. Doing well otherwise, lots of exercise and decent eating. I am so excited to be almost in the 100's that I just had to share it with you all. Today I am at 203...thanks for always being there. You all are amazing. xoxo

Well, I got to a major goal today....199! I evewn weighed myself twice to be sure! I am very happy about this milestone.

On another note, I am on my way to an ultrasound for my gallbladder. Has anyone had troubles with thier gallbladder since their band? I am afraid they will have to remove it and damage my band. Probably silly, but I am worried nonetheless.

Yippee for me for my milestone goal!

Thanks for asking. I sure do miss my nice full band. Now I have to rely much more on discipline and I have never been good at that. As soon as I am sure that this reflux stuff is under control and my esophagus is in great condition I am going in for a fill-up. I am starting to feel much, much better. Yippee!

I can feel your pain. I did the "too full, need multiple defills past where I last felt good at" thing as well.

Hi Leslielee how are you doing?

Lorie how are you doing? Did the change in work schedule help? Hopefully things start to settle down soon.
