I'm reading and just stuned, Penni, my heart drops. I do agree with having an endoscopy first. Good caring doctor! We've been hit with one title-wave after an another. Sending Love

Me Too! Sorry to hear about your leak, but Your doctor found it, and you know what's wrong. I do NOT think your rejecting or your body is trying to ‘attack’ the band. Do not let your doctor slow your process, lead you on or ignore the situation. Try to push to get this fixed ASAP. Contact Inamed personally and document everything. Please keep us posted.

Hey Mo Welcome to LapBandTalk! Most of us are very happy with our choise to be banded. Good Luck with your insurance approval!! Jump in any time

Phantom band.....I think this is cool. I read along time ago about citrus swelling, don't remember the details, just on the list of stuff to avoid. I've had citrus without problems. Congratulations

I eat all these foods you all are mentioning,exept no cherries or prunes, seasonal fruit, lots of watermelon ,lime in water, tea water, tea! I do hope you feel better today.

Relief..Insurance pulls through!!!! The best of luck, your in my thoughts and I'll say a prayer for you!

Thats exactly what I was told. NON-Inamed. (I have an AMI J&J swedish band) Thanks for the #

Non-Scale-Victories Go Alexandra Go:cool:

Hi Penni Sorry to hear your going back under the knife. Dr. Billy was one of the first docs I called (Truckee office) back last Aug. after I got back from Mexico. I was told that he doesn't service non-Inamed bands. In your pillow talk could you mention if this is still the case. I have a good fill doc, but it's nice to have a back-up. I may have missed this but what did he charge for the fill last friday? You did get a fill, with the tilted port? I'm glad your insurance is picking up most of the costs for your port and tubing fix. Keep us posted

Donali I love the pic! Bra and Boobs look great. Your a brave girl taking your own stitches out, good job. I've lanced and cleaned simple animal owies to save on vet bills but won't touch a humans. I'm glad to hear your incisions don't look quite so red today, hopefully with time all will heal beutifully. Speaking Bra's, Mine are not fitting well, I'm shrinking and I can't stand it. That's the only place I didn't want to loss. Time to go shopping, Thanks for the web link but I think I'm going to have get fitted/sized. Kelly, bathing suits on e-bay, great deals. I go for a least one size larger, gotta love spandex, size 10 wow. Lisa, you have been everywhere. Terry, An Endoscopy will answer all your questions, let us know what they see. My thoughts are with you.

Teresa I’m blushing! I just turned 45 on Sunday. You are smart! Getting all the pieces of your life together before having children is important. Your inherited property sounds beautiful (BLM on both sides is a plus) I have worked so hard for what we have and it takes long time. Yes the right father is a plus. My ex could not produce children and I know it was for a reason. To find my soulmate, who’s ex couldn’t produce kids either. Besides having 2 adorable, busy, driving, on-going brilliant brains, I’m wiped out working to keep our property, yes on the lake. I want to be a stay at home mom, at least part time. On with the hair…. I fought wavy hair all my life! Large rollers, Irons, blow dry forever. Then 9 years ago I went with the flow. I get the top section above the ears premed with spirals, it takes hours to get tiny rods set just right at about every 8 month’s.. With the added natural wave it’s moose and go. This pic is 5 monthes old, time for a new pic.

Beautiful girls! Isn't summer great. When I look at my kids I think "I can't believe they came out of me"

Dude..... Far out! Happy bandiversary!

Welcome Pam and Congratulations! What a rewarding job with kids. 50 pounds with or without the band is a great loss. The best aspect is the weight will not come back. I would be honored to meet Alex. Sending best wishes.

What kind of band do you have? I have an AMI Swedish Band. I'm currently about 5.7cc's, but my first fill was only 1.75cc's and done under fluoroscopy. 4cc's doesn't sound right, too much. If your having problems, call the doctor.

It's so hard not to cuddle. My son was just 2 years old when I got banded. The main thing with we was not to pick him up cause you use your stomach muscles. As soon as I got home he was hugging me. It was about 3 weeks when I started picking him up and that was probably too soon.

I too know a girl who does the spray-in-the-booth. She looks awesome! She says it last for weeks. That's my vote. AYE!!!

Of Course we'll notice! Have a great time.

I also agree with Alexandra. I have a chopped, shredded salad almost every day at lunch with lots of stuff. :lick

Count me in. Definitely will share a room with any ladies. My cap will be $80.00 plus tax a night (sharing a room) I'll only spend 2 nights Friday the 8th and Saturday the 9th. I was goofing off and found TripReservations.com, what a list.. Choices include north strip, south strip, off strip etc...Where's Lisa? maybe she could suggest an area? I'm game with whatever you choice. Viva Los Vegas

Cindy I could not do birth control pills. I would be crying for no reason, and wanting to drive into a brick wall and even gained weight while on them. Hormones are tricking to adjust to. My doc would ask me to give it some time but I refused. There are other forms of birth control. The new IUD would be something I would consider if my tubes weren't cut. Hang in there.

I remember reading you websight...Has it been a year? WOW Death by double DD's The never-ending cart-wheel.

Happy early Birthday!!! Young Babe

Oh Sweety sleep tight don't be a night owl, take care and rest. I know you use-to-be up wee hours o-the-morn... Hey I went back to work 5 days later, wish I could have stayed home, please don't push it

7 lbs 5 oz is a perfect size baby. Congratulations Pics! Oh Happy Day:D
