[vicki's band 0]

My daughter and her family came over cause I ordered 6 yards of topsoil , duh... so they are helping us spread it around. I made potato salad, corn on the cob, and green salad, and chicken. I ate chick, green salad and 2 spoons of potato salad, everything got stuck. I don't know whats up with this band, im either too loose or to tight on any given day...

Hello everyone, I am new to this site and will be attending the group meeting next week. I have had the sleep study and it showed that I have mild sleep apnea. Has anyone had mild sleep apnea and if so does the doctor require a machine before surgery? Thanks

Just got back from the Hoff and sure enough, he took out .5 cc, because i have been having heart burn, he said he wanted me to heal, so now i just hope I can stay on track and get to onederland with a little less help from the band.

Val, how did u make out today? I met a girl there who has 8cc's in her band, and had her surgery last june 08, and has only lost 30 lbs. her doc was Forbes, and believe it or not, she was never assigned another doc. she has been followed by the NP. She said she can eat anything she wants and as much as she wants including a whole sub, unlimited buffet on cruise ship, doughnuts and more, I coudn't believe it, I told her she should see one of the doc's, cause maybe her band slipped.

[val 7]

they actually back 0.5 cc in my band...which is what they took out before...so im hoping im okay. i had gained 3 lbs

[vicki's band 0]

not so bad, I am going to try really hard not to gain alot like i did last time. I do feel better, as far as the heart burn goes, so we'll see.

Welcome all you newbies, it seems like yesteday when I attended the seminar. Dr Hoffman is the best, you will love him. The surgery is in my oppinion the easy part, second easiest is the first year, then it becomes work. But i wouldn't change any thing, because at 1 yr and 3 months later, although I am not at my goal, I can breath and walk at the same time lol...welcome aboard!!!:thumbup:
