hey Everybody! I get a Fill Monday in Mission,Tx. with Dr. Alleyn.

I thought I posted early this am??? Must have been before coffee:lol:so if this is a repeat sorry...Here I go again..I was banded in Peoria, Il. by Dr. Rossi...he is GREAT I lost 40 lbs the first year..then I lost my job,my car, my home, my mind then I had Breast Cancer and all that goes with it:cursing: Now ... I'm fat and well and living in South Texas:thumbup: Low Carb is the way for me to get where I need to be! I will be calling Dr. Allen to make an appointment for a fill.

Hi everyone! It's been a long time since I've posted. I was banded in 03 in Proria Il. by Dr. Rossi.and -I've only lost 40lbs...2 fills, lost my job,home,mind, then had Breast cancer:ohmy:Now I'm in Texas,well, happy and ready to start all over:thumbup: I hate to give up SUGAR but Low Carb is the way to go to get me where I need to be.I would love to join in with you all:smile:

I've just moved to a gated community so there's a pool and great places to ride my bike. We'll see if this helps:confused: I can only lose if I STARVE! or about 900 cals. a day. My Dr. says my matabolosm is screwed!:mad: I don't know what else to do. We go out with friends and I can only eat a few bites...home isn't much better...what do you all try?

I started of great but even after a fill I didnt lose much. I eatabout 1600 cals. per day (thats more than recomended) but I stlii weight 200lbs. I bike,walk,swim etc...

Well looks like I've found my Group:embarassed: You want to know SLOW 50lbs. in 3 Years! HELP ME

Band Wagon! I love that ! I wish I would have thought of it! See I'm off in the ozone somewhere thinking about new Lic. Plates(completly diffrent subject) Sorry I got BANDED 2...

I was scared to death...but guess what? I did just fine! No fainting, I didn't gat queasy or nothing! My Dr. put in 1.5 cc's I didn't feel any diffrent for three day, and then it kicked in! I can't eat in the mornings, very little until about 3pm. But night is another story. I'm HUNGREY and I can eat a fair amount,so I have to be careful. I'm staying between 800-1000 cal. which is what my Dr. recommends foe me.

Hey Sultane! Don't be so hard on yourself! If you are like me and VERY sensitive to drugs, you are probably coming out of a morphine hight, which left me with a throbing headache for three days! Also I did not eat anything but liguids for 10 days. And yes, I mourn at least once a week for old habbits die hard! And YES we are ALL NUTS! Who wouldn't be. We have had more heartaches because of our weight than anyone, yet we crave the thing that made us so unhappy! And a DR. of PHYS. says we are normal! LOL Well Best of Health to you all! MB

Thanks Kiwigirl, but the thing is I lost all of that in 8weeks! And not one lb. since:cry I'm hoping my fill Wed. will help me to start losing again. I know my first loss was extreme...I sure liked it that way:D

Hey! Iwas Banded Aug. 25th You all are doing GREAT! We are all truely diffrent when it comes to geting the right fill, but it is so encourageing to hear what others have experienced. My Dr. is on the causcious side too,but I think he is the greatest! I've only lost 25lbs. but I'm happy with that. I get my first fill on the 7th, so I'm hoping for another 25 in the next three months! just in time for some spring clothes:)
