Well, Thanks again everyone.....Last night when I got home I took two sips of Water and that is all I have had. I know that I am usually very tight in the mornings so I have not tried anything this morning. I did sleep last night without reflux. I have been managing to swallow my spit. I feel better. Paula, the Spiegel thing upsets me alot.....I don't know what to do anout it. He is mostly in Houston now....he is here at the beginning of the weeks, so even if on a Thursday this happens we have to haul our hinney's to Houston..... I have heard rumors that there is other Dr's around that are going to start doing the lap-band...who knows....

Thanks everyone!!! I have decided that I will go on clear liquids for the next 5 days....nothing else...I have managed to hold down some sips of Orange Gatorade. I think that after I do the 5 days of clear liquids that I should be fine. If I am not totally better by Monday then I will drive to kalamazoo to get help. Thanks again and any suggestions is greatly appreciated.....

My guess on sticky would be a post......kinda like a sticky note....

R U ready for this??? I have not had a fill since October 11th!!!!! My family Dr tried to hit my port in October and could hit it but not get in the port. So, no luck there. When I went to the ER in Houston in August, not a single person knew anything about the port and how do unfill it. We had to wait for my Dr to get there before they would do ANYTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They told me that they could send home health out and put me on IV fluid if need be....I work for an ambulance company, so if I need IV's that is not a problem. They told me that I could take a 2 hr drive to another Dr that would see me at his convience....yesterday they sent a patient over there and the Dr could not see that patient. So I could take the 2 hour drive and never get anything accomplished. Seriously, I am almost to the point to try myself....

Well this last trip to the bathroom makes 4 times since lunch that I have thrown up.....It is like my spit will accumulate and then after a while I have to go throw it up...or PB. Something is not right here...anyone willing to do a unfill???????????????? anyone please.........................

You know I was complaining that my throat burned and was sore. It started in my throat and traveled down to my neck...it was the weirdest thing. I did drink some of the Vegetable Medley soup and some of it came back up; not all of it. I am slowly sipping on tea and I can feel it hit the band and then my stomach...it takes it a second to get to my stomach.....!!! Hell, another day another story

Wow!! You look great!!! Keep up the good work.....

I recently was checking with my OBGYN about the birth control methods. I can't ever remember to take my pill so I was looking for something else. They mentioned the patch and then asked how much I weighed because it don't work for people over 180 lbs. That shocked me....

First of all, I hope everyone has a wonderful, safe and Happy New Year!!! I have been having acid reflux lately and have woke up several time coughing on my spit or something that came up in the middle of the night. So yesterday, I was eating lunch and my food came right back up....I was eating little pieces of creamy chicken. So after that I went to CVS pharmacy and picked my up some Maalox, and I took 1 tsp with a sip of tea and about 20 minutes after that...it came back up. About an hour later I had to go and PB my spit. So, I called my Dr's office and he is out of town for 2 weeks. They told me to go on liquids for 5 days to see if it helps. No back up Dr around here to take a fill out when my regular Dr is gone. Last night woke up twice coughing, choking...so I went and slept on the couch sitting up.... But, last night I went and got Campbell's Soup at Hand Cream of Broccoli and it went down and stayed down. They taste really good..... I am having the Blended Vegetable Medley or the Velvety Potato for lunch today..... So, that is my story for now.......... I am hoping that the liquids help......and this band is so unpredictable.....

How do u delete your own thread???? A good joke???? Can't think of one off of the top of my head right now.....I will get back with you.. Have a Happy New Year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

See if this picture will work; if not when I get home I will fix it for sure....By the way; you look wonderful!!!!!!!!!! rica-small.bmp

What I want for Christmas this year and every year: To be able to spend it with everyone I spent it with the year before---and new additions, but no subtractions!!! Happy Holidays to all!!!!! Wish we could have a LBT Christmas Party!!

WOW!!! Great job!!! I am 15 months out and have only lost 65....I am not doing something right!!!!!

You are very unusual.......but that is why we all love you soooo much!!! Lisa, with all sincerity I hope that this eventually comes to an end for you. This has taken sooo much of your time from you. I am glad that somehow Lopez got off his lazy *ss and is going to help you. I hope that there is no erosion or anything else that keeps you from keeping your band. I don't know what I would do if they had to take mine. I truly wish you all the luck in the world!!! Hurry and get better soon--there is still much joy ahead of you!!! You are in my thoughts!!!!!

I have not posted in ages; but, when I seen your title under your screenname; I just had to laugh......that is too cute.... Our own LBT "Science Experiment"!!!! This place hasn't been the same since u have arrived....I don't post much anymore; but laugh often!!!!!!

I don't really have an answer for you cause I am in the same boat. I would like to lose another 20-30 lbs and I don't think they will ever come off. I am like you, I want them off really bad!!!! Let me know if you find the secret!! Good Luck!!

Mine was when I was diagnosed with Diabetes at 26 years old. I was taking Glucophage 2x a day. I figured I was 26 now and in 20 years I would only be 46. 20 years is a long time for my body to have Diabetes and 46 is very young. So, I did it!!! No longer on meds and diabetic free:-)

CONGRATS!!! Your scale needs to talk to my scale

Good Luck!!! Next year at this time you will be so grateful that you did this!!

The new TV show Big Fat Loser took our T-shirt saying!!!!

Sorry it took so long; haven't been on the computer. But, here it is

Here it is........

We found 3 of them and 1 is in squirrel heaven. I am working with a wildlife rehabilitator to get them back to the outdoors. But, for the meantime they are our little babies. One is really really nice and the other isn't to pleasant. The are named Skitty and Porker. Skitty used to run everytime we went in their room and now he just sits there and lets us pet him. I was holding Porker the other day and he got lose and ran around the house and it kinda spooked him, so now when we walk in the room he runs. I promise the next time I see a baby squirrel I will run the other way!!!lol.

Aren't these cute too?
