Girl that just means your getting sexy! Truth is my husband dont even know i got the band (I know long story) I have always had problems with Uterine Fibroids so I told him I was going in to get some removed.....men! what do they know ....ha ha ha but at 35 who cares! the only people that know are my parents and a few co-workers. The procedure was an in and out thing and i told him dont bother taking off work for that...so my parents took me and brought me home! But yeah girl that's one of the reasons i didn't want to tell him...you know how men get mad and then want to throw unnecessary stuff into the argument......yep that's why! I can see how he cant seem to keep his hands off me now.....and every time i go anywhere, he talkin bout why you dressed up? i can be in flip flops and jeans with a cute top. And he always wants to tag along with me wherever I go which i love! i love him anyway, but the way his tongue hangs out lately is awesome!

Its been over a year for me and i am at my goal weight!!!!! i had my band placed in December 2011. The one thing i can say that I dont like is the amount of food I throw away!!!!! I try to put it in the fridge and save it, but I usually dont end up going back for it....and end up throwing it away...But it seems like the weight that i lost my husband found! I love the fact that he starts to get a little jealous when i go to work, shopping, or anywhere because he can even see the difference now...I went to get more scrubs/uniforms for work because im in the medical field ...and Im in a medium and its LOOSE! But i can honestly say for me anyway is that I set a goal weight got there and then say ok 5 more lbs ok now 8 more lbs...and keep wanting to go on and on....but my man loves curves ....cant lose too much!

You were banded in march, and have had 5 adjustments already! i was banded in December of 2011 and I also have a 10cc band and I am a little over 7cc right at 8 almost... and will just not be having my 5th fill in about another week or so...They say do them at least 4 weeks apart and then when i thought I was having restriction, I skipped a month all on my own. I only go in when I feel I need to ....But I should be coming up on my sweet spot very soon! But i always get immediate restriction after my fills that last about a month or so. They give me Water to drink (sip) and tell me to sit out in the lobby for 15min to an hour, and If I have any problems they can take some out Im glad that I get my fills from the place that did my surgery, Im lucky to have them in the same city where I live and only 25 minutes or so away from me. I hear so many horror stories about being "stabbed" to find the port .....I was afraid to get my first fill (blog is on here) but it was not bad at all .....Hope you find your sweet spot soon

Go ahead girl....Get that word in early

I just not got that it was a reall dream.....Stupid me Anyway I thought the alarm was you getting stuck and your body was rejecting it...oh well But that happened to me at dennys I ordered this great omlet mouth was watering ....took one bite and chewed it well, swallowed and then my alarm went off, and I aint talking about no clock! no more eggs for me!

If you read my old blog, we would have had two diffrent problems. But I can almost see yours as being worst. You cant do anything without somebody from party "A" saying something or somebody from party "B" saying something. Mabey the band did not work for them because they drink milkshakes..... And the other could have a sneaky underlying agenda....OR she could feel like she did the "Best" and can give "great" advice..... or be somesort of know it all.....and not even realize what she is doing.....Honestly I have did that ...not with another bandster, but with work stuff and a friend at work....just because I got an award, it made me feel like ok Im doing my job and I am doing it well, which made me look at what my friend was doing, and I found myself "always" giving tips and advice .....until she said shut the hell up! ... And then I got it....... Do you! I would just not eat around them ....but the I bet they would say you are starving yourself....Mabey you should ..in a joking way tell them to shut the hell up before you rip out thier non working bands and strangle them with it!

Jessica Ennis.....(REALLY) ...I came across an article on yahoo this morning calling a few olypian champs fat...amongst the names was jessica.....(OH COME ON) I dont even want to think what they would say about my jelly rolls running around a track in some panty like shorts jiggling all over the place....This girl looks awsome and toned.....And some people want to know why a lot of us go to "extremes" to just look normal! Oh and another thing, I got really sick, dont know what it was, but I had (sorry to be so graphic, well I will change it up a bit) I had the "works" coming from the front and the back for two days, not eating anything because my stomach was gurgling, I had a headache, and the only thing I had to eat were a few saltine crackers and a piece of toast......and stupid me said "well there has to be a bright side to all of this...so I step on the scale and low and behold I lost 10 pounds!!!!!!! Ok but wait! So I started to feel a little better and i started to get a little hungry I ate (some) salad and a few spoonfuls of vegetable soup....not right away, but later on when I got up I went back to the scale stepped on and said "###***#$#" how the "###**^%^**" did I gain back 10 pounds from freaking salad! But today I weighed myself again just to see and I did lose about 6-7 pounds...... It is official ...the scale is nuts!

Im glad your experience went good. I did not tell anybody, and it spread like wildfire! I guess my body changed faster than I could see for myself.... Read my older blogs ....but I hope everything goes well with you good luck!

What size is your band? How much fluid do you have in it? How long have you been banded for? I went to smoothie king and purchesed a big tub of the gladiator protein mix it will give you 45grams of whey protein per serving. Then I will have a lean quisine (pizza) for lunch it has 20 grams of protein then later on for a snack a builders bar with 12grams of protein .......thats only 77grams I could easily add 12 more grams by eating a greek yogurt called oikios by dannon . This reminds me of being on weight watchers before I had the lapband you have to keep eating even when you dont want to you have to eat all of your points for the day ....but I did lose the weight, but I would always gain it back

Well the first thing to ask is if your doctor did a simple blood test called a CBC? (Complete blood count) This would easily tell your Dr. if you are anemic or not. But to answer your other question, me personally just take centrum or one a day depends on which one is on sale when I go out to get more and I also take Biotin to helo my hair.

Has anyone noticed that the more protein you take in the less sweets you want? Or your cravings just stop... Just wondering I think that I have noticed it in myself and I was just wondering if it was just me ...

Well I understand i have had 2 c-sections too. Mine were because I had uterine fibroids removed 4 or 5 years prior to becoming pregnant and my doctor said once you have had a surgery like that it is best you have a c-section .....now my tummy is all scarred up from c-sections to lap-band to gall bladder removal , fibroid removal now I might have to have another surgery because i have an ovarian cyst that is acting up once again ....

I guess I better not ever complain about my $20.00 co-pay for my fill again.... or the 25 minute drive down to the medical center.

For those who read my post a few months ago about the Medical office manager telling the whole office (Right in front of me) that everybody "Knows you had Gastric bypas surgery" ....No I did not! To get caught up you may go to my profile and read about it there in my blog.....but anyway I never worked for this particular Doctor. I work for a very large well known lab, and i was just in her office to service her patients. Well after the above event took place, I asked to be moved to another location, and I was moved the next day or so....... Well, in my line of work we have what you call "flaoters" which means when someone is out on vacation or call in sick these "floaters" go and fill in at that location. Well after I left, my company sent a floater to my old spot until they could find a permanent replacement. Well rightr after i left i came across one of the "floaters" that i dont even know that filled in over where I use to be, and guess what.......She found out about my WLS from the big mouth office manager..When I found out I was mad, but I said thats ok Im not there anymore who cares ...... Well YESTERDAY...I came across a diffrent floater that I dont know and never met. Now this time it came about because when I saw her I introduced myself which meant I gave her my name, and then she said "Do I know you"? I said no I dont think so. She said where did you use to work and I gave her the name of the doctor's office where I came from ....and she said "OH" and I said what do you mean "OH" ...and as politely as she could, she began to tell me that when she was at that location covering, the office manger began telling her about my "PROCEDURE" Thats when I called Human Resources, the account representative for that location and my supervisor. Enough was enough! I hope she gets fired !!!!! All my company told me was that the would give her a "Firm" talking to. And who am I kidding I dont really have the money to do anything legal. But this is ridiculous she has to be stopped. And at this point if she finally does shut her trap she has already told 2 diffrent floaters that cover multiple large areas for my company and there is no telling how many people these people have told!
