mini 0 Posted August 15, 2007 That is so cool Babe! You may never need a fill! I had my second fill last week but it really didn't help a bit. I will probably go and get a little more fill in a week or two. Sandra, you just keep weighing then! I had to throw out my scale to keep from doing that all the time. It really took will power for me to only weigh once a week. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Melissa S 1 Posted August 15, 2007 Vegas sounds awesome.... but unless we hit the lottery I doubt I'll be able to attend... the family is planning on visiting Bosnia next spring (where my fiance is from) NSV - I dropped off my rings today to be resized..from a 7 down to a 5.5! but if there is any such thing as a reverse NSV - I HATE MY FAT ARMS! I bought 3 new dress tops (on clearance at JC Pennys for $7 each)... the short sleeves are too tight around my fat arms.. so I have to unbutton the sleeves all the way.. ugh! I did speak to my hair dresser (who is also a good friend of mine) about the hair loss.. she said sadly there is nothing that can be done. She said she sees it with alot of her clients and it will slow down...but said she could always give me a weave! HA! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JerseyDori 0 Posted August 15, 2007 Melissa - I have had over 1 month of hard core Hair loss. Luckily I had super thick hair to begin with so now it just looks normal to everyone else, but to me I wanna cry every morning when I comb my hair and get the chunks coming out. I now shed worse than my dogs!!! LOL I know it will grow back though so I don't worry. I am in desperate need of a dye job but I am afraid that might put my hair over the edge!

Melissa S 1 Posted August 15, 2007 Dori- I just colored my hair last night.. so far so good... I too was in need.. very overdue for my color! I also got waxed this morning... I had eyebrows that closely resembled those of that kid Kevin from the Backstreet boys! HA!... we wont even talk about how bad my mustache was! HAHA!! Gosh I love getting older... if the chin hair gets any worse I'll be able to join ZZ Top!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mini 0 Posted August 15, 2007 Well, I already meet once a year with my Soaring Sistah's that I met on the internet. Why not go for a second vacation each year! Maybe the closer we get to our year anniversary we can start talking about it. I am not a gambler (I am to practickle) (notice I did not know how to spell practickle) but it would be fun to meet you guys anywhere. Maybe we could make it a expidition like the ones where you get excercise, like kayaking down a river! How cool would that be...or mountain climbing...eew no, that's too scary, maybe hikining someplace where they don't have bears or mountain lions (not into being eatin)!

jsrico 1 Posted August 15, 2007 Mini, I feel the same way....I dont like giving my hard earned cash away. We could all take in some shows and see the sights!!! I just found another thread that they are planning a LV trip in January. Check it out!! Sandra Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
agchick96 0 Posted August 15, 2007 My support group leader mentioned taking extra zinc if you are losing alot of hair. That it seems to help it come back or slow down the loss. This is in addition to the Protein Drinks. And it's just the cold-eze losenges that you take to prevent a cold.... It's worth a try. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Schemgie 0 Posted August 15, 2007 I'm not much of a gambler but a white Water rafting tour would be awesome. I did that once which seems like a life time ago. Here is Ottawa Canada there aren't many of us that have been banded but I hope that will change soon, so the support I get here is very much appreciated. Another question, how do I get a ticker preop: 327.5 op. day: 311.5 current: 265. I love my band Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ginger205 0 Posted August 16, 2007 Thanks for the post about the ticker! I am stuck at 202, and I too am guilty of weighing too much (that sounds funny, LOL) I have not been to a support meeting (Shame on me!) but when I went for the lap band seminar, there were people there that were just down right annoying!!! Where does everyone live? Dallas would be a great place to meet and shop for new clothes!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
METALBAND 0 Posted August 16, 2007 Hello All, We are all doing so great! I love this place! Okay so I have not lost anything this week and I think I need a fill. The hunger demons are getting to me!!! I read on here before about the pounds vs inches. I feel thinner this week but the scale has not moved! I too weigh too often and it makes me crazy!!! I get scared that it will go up and I will backslide like every other time I have lost weight. No Hair loss yet but I am sure its coming. I am spending way too much on new clothes....when my husband gets the credit card bill, I will be in big trouble!!! I went to one support group and it was okay, but I would not go out of my way for it, I just happened to be there with DH. There is plenty of support on here!
