That is one of my "I'm full" ques. I get a hot flash and start sweating. I also get he hiccups too... I am not sure about the wine though....

I had mine at Pine Creek. My insurance paid for mine. THANK GOODNESS!!! I did well the first day, the second day I got sick and had to take phenagren which knocked me for a loop. After that was out of my system, I had NO PROBLEMS!!!! I was in the hospital from 5 am until about 7 pm the next day. I was his only sleeve of the day and his first surgery. WALKING helps tremendously... Walk as much as you can and as soon as you can.... GOOD LUCK with everything!!!!

I have an android and there is an app on the android market. There is a free one and 1 for 2 bucks.

Dr. Hottie, I mean Dr. Barker did my surgery in August of 2010. No complaints here. The only thing I complain about is his small office and the wait time. I tell everyone to take a book or something to do while you wait.... I have lost 101 lbs!!!! I would recommend him to anyone!!!! LOVE Dr. Thompson too, he will do all your after care!!!! If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask.....

I have one and use it daily. It is quick and easy for protein shakes... I took mine back and forth to work when I was on my pre op diet and liquids to whip stuff up...

Janae--- Yes I did go to Tech... I bleed scarlet and black!!! Coops--- I have been around, don't post alot. I got a tankini and some board shorts... MistyK--- I LOVE DR. BARKER, I had no complications and would do it again in a second GOOD LUCK!!!!! Thank you to all for all the comments!!!! They are truly appreciated!!!!

101 lbs later I feel GREAT!!!! Today marks a HUGE accomplishment for me. I finally have lost 100 lbs plus 1. To celebrate, I went shopping at Old Navy. I bought a new swimsuit and blue jean shorts. Both items I would not have been caught dead in this time last year. This journey has been hard but well worth it. I would recommend the sleeve to anyone and everyone. I AM TRULY BLESSED and 101 lbs lighter!!!!! WU WHOOOOOO!!!!!! :dance::Banane02:

I know Dr. Hamm and Dr. Crebbins won't do revisions on someone else's work. A co worker who is having trouble with her band called them and they won't touch her. I think it is unfortunate but that is just my opinion.

Dr. Barker was my surgeon and I was pleased with him. He has a very busy office by White Rock Lake. If you do a consult with him, take a book or something. You will be there a while....

Thank you all!!! YES I have a neck and a collar bone!!!! I LOVE IT!!!!!

No regrets here either... 8 months out and 95 lbs gone!!!! I would do it again in an instant!!!

and down 95 lbs!!!! Went for my 8 month check up yesterday and everything is good. On another note, I work in a preschool and we get school pictures taken. We took pictures 2 weeks ago and I found one from 09 when I was at my largest. Oh the difference!!!!

I just noticed that a regular sized bath towel fits around me with no gaping!!!! In my 8 months since surgery, this is the one NSV I have been waiting on!!!! Doing a happy dance!!!!!! :Banane02:

I had tests during surgery and early the morning after. I was not allowed anything until the early morning test came back clear.... I would def. get a second opinion...

Sugar free popsicles were a saving grace for me on my liquid diet. Gives you something to chew and something sweet.
