    ouch (a comment on appearance)

    I also tend to remember the harsh comments more. My mom is the worse.... When I was only 155 lbs , she kept calling me fat... Thats the worse. But I have learned not to care about what others think now. I am doing this for myself, I dont care what others say anymore.

    Are you glad you did it?

    I haven't once looked back! Everyday I wakeup , I feel ivigorated knowing that I am a little bit closer to my goal. The most important things I have gained back by being banded are my health and confidence.

    August Bandsters Reunion

    I remember when I first hit 199... the feeling is so good! And whats best is that it can only get better! It feels good to try on new clothes and it actually fits! I can actually wear a size 34 pants now. Its a little tight but I haven't been able to fit a size 34 for ages :confused:

    Newbie

    hi Jen. Welcome to the board! Feel free to visit my online diary, you can readup on some stuff, maybe that will help you on your journey to be banded :confused: http://mysite.verizon.net/vze6pwwz/

    Having a time with meat

    Your doing a great job at moderating Alexandra :confused:. I remember you started before you was banded and I think you have really grown into the job. You always give great advice about insurance issues and are courteous towards the other members ... Kudos!

    Gaining!

    Hi Bambam. dont feel discouraged. At least try getting another fill, sometimes it takes 4 or 5 fills before you start feeling the restriction. The band isn't a miracle cure, its a tool for us to use to loose weight. Wish you all the best!

    18 lb bag of dog food

    I totally agree with all that is said here. I also wanted to say that I now don't care anymore what "they" say about my weight.. "they" , being my mom and others that used to say I was fat when I was only 155 lbs. I am doing this for myself and most importantly my health. I really don't care what others think now anymore :confused:
  14. Sometimes I wish I could have a switch to turn the band on or off lols.... But that would defeat the purpose of being banded in the first place right ??? Yes having to chew chew chew does take a while to get use too!!

    Had to get some taken out

    Kellie, If soups satisfy you, try drinking those. Maybe after you loose some more pounds you can incorporate more solids back into you routine.

    New People Magazine

    I also found out about the lapband after researching about the bypass on the internet. Since I dont have any insurance at all , because I am self employed, I was trying to find a cheap price for the bypass procedure. But all I got was sticker shock lols.... Then I found a website that was advertising the lapband procedure. I called up and within 2 weeks I was banded (ofcourse I did more research on the matter beforehand) The rest is history...

    I started a blog!

    A blog is just a web log , here is the definition of it : A blog is basically a journal that is available on the web. The activity of updating a blog is "blogging" and someone who keeps a blog is a "blogger." Blogs are typically updated daily using software that allows people with little or no technical background to update and maintain the blog. Postings on a blog are almost always arranged in cronological order with the most recent additions featured most prominantly.

    Considering an un-fill

    I took Aleve, Advil etc and didn't develop any baddies either, like Sue says. The band is subjective...
