Hi Terry, I am from Columbia, was just in Giles County a few days ago in Campbellsville. Good luck on your surgery !!

I know what you mean as far as missing food, I would love a good ole bologna sandwich, or to eat in public without being scared it will get stuck, it never does but it is scary. But I would have to admit I have lost alot of weight and I think the trade off is worth it. But there is some things I would love to have again but are gone for good.

Brian Dennehy has one too

Lu Lu Roman from Hee Haw has a band.

I have the 4cc and I have 3.2 , I had 3.4 but it was too much had to take some out. It made a great difference , don't ever get too tight it was horrible. There is definately a fine line, and being tight is no fun, this is a life long endeavor don't get too tight and risk band slippage, and just taking the little bit out did the trick for me. I can eat meat again and even some breads. Have a great day!

Well thanks so much for the congrats! I am 44 and have tons of gray, but my hair is light blonde so it is not real noticeable other than to me. My weight loss has slowed down alot but the inches keep coming off so I won't fuss too much.I won't get any more fills doctor says I am good where I am and I think he is right. Just getting over being sick and my sinuses kept me so full feeling all the time I should have lost a bunch but didnt happen. Good luck with your fill, and your weight will start coming off when you get to your sweet spot, it did for me. Have a great day!

My hair has finally gotten better about coming out and I honestly think it is due to the extreme conditioning I have been doing, since it is not coming out at the root but rather breaking off, I started really conditioning and hot oil treatments and it is really alot better. Just whats working for me, hope y'alls get better too, mine was so bad I was worried about bald spots but got it cut yesterday and my beautician said it is fine and the cut made it look so much healthier. I had a great NSV got into a size 12! I started at 22-24, I don't remember ever wearing a 12!

Hi was just wondering Pacomama is it nessary for an unfill before surgery I have to have surgery next month and was wondering. Thanks

Kim I am sorry I was in such a hurry to get back to school I was skimming post and didnt realize you made it!!!!! I only had a few minutes and the other post cracked me up and got me sidetracked, I am so proud , CONGRATS!!!!! Marimaru way to go girl!!! Y'all have a great Memorial weekend!!

:welcome::welcomeB: Welcome Bob , glad to have ya!!

My feelings about Rosie have nothing to do with her being gay, other than the fact she uses it for attention in my eyes. My sister is gay and has been for as long as I can remember and I think she hung the moon. What I don't like is the fact she tries to bully everyone . I am kinda in her way of thinking about a war we have no business being in , my dad died as a result of being exposed to agent orange in Viet Nam, he was an army Colonel and loved being a soldier, but I am still the daughter who lost her hero due to a war we had no business being in. But don't try to bully people because you are loud, it doesn't make you any more right. Just my opinion, we all gottem.

Welcome Bob ! You are doing great! Yes Dr. Morton is a good doctor, I really like him and his staff, I always feel at ease when I go in there knowing they are gonna be behind me and there to help with any thing I may ask. have a great weekend, glad you are doing so well!

I agree with both you have mentioned above, but Rosie has never been anything but a trouble maker, if you can't back up what you say Rosie , don't say it. I do not necessarily agree with the Hasselbeck womans point of view, she still has the right to her opinion and backs up what she believes in.

:clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :whoo: :whoo: whoo hoo , congrats and good luck!!

Mariquita, welcome and you crack me up!! I needed that laugh I am taking an 8 hour test today and I am off for lunch and you made me laugh, so thanks !!!Kim thanks ! I have been in school coughing all day, I am sure the other testers are really glad I came today!!But I am getting better slowly, thanks for the concern! I will probably lose some weight when I get rid of this crap in respiratory system , never knew people could hold so much !! Ok I will quit whining! Y'all have a great day!!

I had a hiatal hernia I didnt know about and the doctor fixed it in surgery, I would look for another doctor. I know that would be a hassle but I would do it rather than switch to a bypass, that is just my opinion. I can't help you with a doctor I am on the other side of the US but maybe someone out there knows, good luck and don't give up!

Ebay is a good one.

Well that really sux!! I hate that for you, what a letdown. But like you said no liquid diet so thats one good point. That was definately the hardest thing to go through for me. Not that banding is easy, it is not, but to go from eating alot to nothing for 2 weeks was sure a really hard thing to do. Good luck with your surgery !!

I was banded the day before you were and I am losing hair and have been for months, it is finally slowing down and I believe it is due to major condtioning(the slowing down), is your hair really dry now? The doc said it was due to lack of nutrients, but I believe since it was not coming out at the root , it was breaking off it was due to being so dry now and breaking off. I use a really good conditioner and then use a leave in treatment and it has made a huge difference. Just my 2 cents , I just know it is working for me. Hope you find something that works for you, I also started using hot oil treatments. My hair has never been dry before and it sure is now.

Cyndilou I did the same thing , but I didn't get real nervous till I was on the gurney right before going to surgery!! I started crying and told my husband " I want to go home, lets just forget it!!" Right about then I went out, the drugs hit and I sure am glad I did it now. Hun, your life is about to change and it isn't always going to be easy, but it is ohhhh so worth it!! Good luck !!

Thanks Sarah!! Shoot I celebrated the first time I saw 199!!! It went back up once but came right back down. I celebrate for everything though, I just love the fact I am losing and haven't been close to 300 in a long time. I can now fit into a 14 (non strechy jeans too) and that is alot better than the 22-24 I was wearing, that was a celebration all in itself.Havent been in a 14 in 8 years. I think it gives me incentitive not to eat too much junk, don't want to go back over 200. Congrats to you Sarah!! and I know I screamed when I saw 199, made everyone in the house come look!!

Way to go everybody !!!!!!:clap2: :clap2: :clap2: It still sucks to be me, this virus has gone into bronchitis:sick , sinus drainage has got me to where I can't eat,that stuff is a booger!! I just realized what I wrote , I didn't mean for it to come out that way but kinda funny it did. Y'all have a great day!!!

I am having trouble too.

Well congrats to you Kim!!!!! I can't seem to go any farther than 199 but I have a virus and I just can't eat, that may be my problem. You will wake up and be there, I am tickled for you!! Have a great day!!

Ok I will , thanks for caring ! Doctor thinks I am ok but took tests to make sure. I hope he is right. I have faith in God, so I trust everything will be fine. Blood work came back fine, still want to hear the words I am ok. Gotta run, thanks again for caring it means alot.
