HAPPY HOLLOWEEN :thumbdown: ! Vickie, See what happens when you go in for a fill.. ya come out with a Surgery date! lol. Dang! I don't like the thought of the bypass but I think the Sleeve is the way to go if the band is'nt working any longer for you.

Hi everyone

I was in a car accident last week, I'm going back to dr on Thurs and they need to put me in some kind of pt, My neck is so stiff I can't stand up straight and that scares me, I don't want that hump on my back, but it hurts to stand tall, so they have to fix.. oh and for my right ribs too.

you can get the weight off, I have tons of faith in you

Hope all is well for all of you, I'm in school 4 nights a week and working full time so not on the computer that much - just wanted to pop in, miss ya'll

Jenn, I hope you be ok, just take it easy.

You look great in your pic!

Im back! No more pregnancy excuses. I need to lose some weight! So I need to lose about 35lbs to get back to where I was last year at this time ughh!! Ive been trying but its just not coming off. On Sept 7th I went in and got a fill of .25 and it really hasnt done much.

Has anyone just called and gone in for a fill? I always wait for my appt but this time its not until the end of November.

Hers a picture of my little cutie...worth every pound

Hey Rain. Your little man is sooo cute! Look at those cute little red eyes!

You'll knock those 35lbs off in no time.

Kiss Buddy for me!

it seems to be....i still cant eat dense Proteins, but dr. hoff doesnt seem to be concerned. he told me basically no chance of a leak anymore and he told me if i lose 20 more lbs i can start thinking of plastic surgery and i could have a flat belly next summer. now that would be a nice birthday present

Here's an update on my 1cc fill. So far I have only gained weight since my appt Tuesday. Why is it junk food goes down so easy?? Also I keep forgetting not to eat first thing in the morning b/c I get stuck so easy than have to bring it up. Ughh. Also the people at my work will not stop bringing in junk cake,cookies, donuts. There killing me I have no willpower!

[vicki s 146]

yes val i cant imagine a flat belly, good for u! i cant wait to hear from u i have so many questions before my surgery in 2 1/2 weeks, I have no idea what to expect. I hope u tell me it is easier than the band and you dont feel hungry all the time and you dont want junk food LOL......

Are you going to do the plastics? It'll be really cool to have a nice flat tummy.

yeah its crazy though.. i'm not in pain, just a mild sore throat right now. I did make an appt with an ENT but its not until nov 15th so either my tonsil will heal up on its own or fall off lol.

Are you feeling any better about your upcoming revision and are you going to the wed meeting?

I am going to the meeting and I dont think i will ever not be nervous about the surg. I just realized that Lynn told me the surg was 3 weeks from last mon. and this morn i see its three weeks from tomorrow, so that gives me an extra week to fret....lol
