Mine has always known and he has always said he loves me at whatever weight I might be. I keep kidding him and tell him I am gonna gain everything I have lost back, and he says baby I love you no matter what. I got a good one!

My stomach makes all kinda of weird moans and groans has since day one and I was banded a year ago. Mine is so loud sometimes when we are taking a test in class everyone in the near vacinity hears it, they first thought it was hilarious but now they just know it is the tiger in my tank!

I love shrimp! Fried shrimp, boiled shrimp,shrimp kabob, cajun shrimp, ( Bubba on Forrest Gump), just kidding but I do love shrimp and have no problem with it.

I have taken meds since day 1, 1 pretty big, never had a problem with getting stuck, but I guess each person will be different.

I lost alot of hair at first after surgery then it slacked off then I had another surgery (unrelated) and it started again. I lost so much I burnt up my vacuum, but trust me it comes back my hair is thicker than ever and I am a year out.

I still laugh when I think about my eval, I remember the Dr looking at me and asking with the most serious face " Do you sometimes think the TV is talking just to you?" I couldn't help but laugh and I was worried he would tell me I couldn't have surgery.

My daughter had one on her face as a child an she has a scar from it, when she tans it doesnt and she has a white patch right on her cheek and of course there is a freckle right in the middle of the spot, so bad as it is it could have been worse. Look at your weight loss, that is something to make you smile, you go girl!

:clap2::clap2::clap2::whoo::whoo::whoo: Wow girl it must be a great feeling! I am so in awe of your accomplishment, congratulations!

Awwww they are so cute! These are mine, Ozzy And Jazz , shih tzus

Dr Morton at Baptist(Nashville) is my doctor and while I was in there one day he was mentioning to his nurse the girl before me had hers done in Mexico so he must see patients that had them done in Mexico. Good luck it is just an option for you to try, I can't tell you for sure but that is what I heard him saying.

I have one and I really love it, I have a hard time finding my way out of the driveway so it has become a necessity,lol

The last is from Dec 17, 07 , one year from being banded:whoo:

My husband lost 50 pounds after my surgery, because my eating habits changed, he went from 230 to 180 (he's 6 ft tall), But it is not becasue I don't cook, it is because no more drive thrus and not eating out of habit. Good luck on your journey!

My sinuses really affect me, I can hardly eat when they get bad, my doc says it does fill you up (gross i know, but true). Mucinex helps me alot. Hope you get to feeling better!

Congrats Flip! I had my surgery in Nashville last Dec 26, though it hasnt been an easy road I would do it all over again, are you going to be at Baptist or Centennial?

Hi all, I am a Nursing student, love it and have sooooo much respect for all of you!

Hi Paul! Welcome! Looks like you are doing great! Glad you joined us! I was in Nashville this weekend at the Flea Market at the fairgrounds, it was so packed! I always love going though but it was estimated 65,000 people would come through there I think they all got there the same time I did! Have a good one, and welcome!

I have lost 87 pounds but it is so slow now it drives me nuts, but I think it is because I am in school and have to sit all day and the stress level is really high. But I am happy with what I have lost and I thank the good lord for it!

Columbia TN , Dr Morton did mine too.

Hi Linda! Welcome! I live in Columbia, 50 miles from Nashville, glad to see another TN person, good luck on your surgery and the big change coming soon in your life, I know it has been for me.

:clap2: You look great girl! Congrats!!

I was asked to be in 2 of them when I moved to a new high school (many years ago,lol) But I was brought up an army brat and there was no thinking you are better than anyone else in the military world so I wanted no part of it.

I am in Nursing school , don't have a job but school is enough work for me!!!!!!!!!!!
