I am candtw Feel free to add me Taking it one day at a time.

OK...... I have come to terms my band is gonna talk to me when I eat! I am on Jury Duty all this week and I bring my lunch because of the obvious. It is so quiet in the jury room during lunch and as I am eating......my band is talking away! Kind of funny yet embarrassing at the same time. Taking it one day at a time.

Are you in the South Region? I know you said you were on the fence with your BMI, but are you at least 40? Taking it one day at a time.

I am in Texas. After I had my nutrition consult and my psych eval, it only took 10 days to get approval from Tricare. Total time from 1st doctor visit to surgery was 3 months. Taking it one day at a time.

Hi Carla, I'm Carla too! I have Tricare Prime South. I had no issues getting approved. But different regions have different provisions. Taking it one day at a time.

I was banded 5/14/12 and I have the same issue. I talked with my doctor and he said unfortunately I will probably always have this discomfort due to the port location. He did suggested for me to possibly wear a lower rise jean. My port is just above my belly button. Taking it one day at a time.

I am just now able to shop in the "normal" section, although in the bigger sizes of the normal section. I find myself looking at the other women and smiling thinking "WOW am I really able to wear the same cute things that "skinny mini" woman is able to wear!" It is a good feeling! Taking it one day at a time.

OK I figured it out. There is a feature I turned on by mistake in the settings. Taking it one day at a time.

Testing the ability to post using my iPhone app. Taking it one day at a time.

Great suggestion!

For those of you who use the app, do you find that it is more difficult to add an entry to the diary than before? I have not used the app for about a month or two and now that I am getting back to it, I feel it is very time consuming trying to add an entry to the diary now. Maybe I am missing something, but does anyone else feel this way? and if there is a more efficient way of doing it, let me know.

I keep gettin the error message: "You have entered a link to a website that the administrator does not allow links to" I am not even posting a link at all! no matter what I try to post or reply to, it gives me the same message. Even with a one word reply. Any suggestions?

Good luck to both of you! It is an exciting journey with both ups and downs. But the final result will be beautiful!

I was told by Jean there is not an e-book version. I wish there was

and she is winning! I had my last fill 6 weeks ago and have been doing fine. A little tight ever so often, but this weekend it has been war! 2 days ago I was a tight. Today I have been so tight I cannot even eat. Drinking is even hard. Hopefully tomorrow brings peace in my banded world. If not I will call the doc to get advice.

I was given phenterimine for over a year by my dr. Now I have found out after numerous medical issues it should have only been prescribed for no longer than 3 months. I took it 4 years ago ( for weight loss of course). It was great, I had a lot of energy, I could clean my entire house in about 3 hours (I have a 2200 sqft home) do high cardio aerobics for hours and I lost lots and lots of weight. It was wonderful! Then about 9 months into it I started having ringing in my ears. Which has now turned in to neuropathy on my left side if my face. ( it is completely numb) my eye sight got really bad while I was on the drug but slowly got a bit better , not completely. I have chronic dry eyes because of all this and to this day have severe headaches. Yes I lost almost 90lbs with the drug. And I felt great! If i knew then what i know now, I wish I had never taken it because if the medical issues My new dr says these medical issues will be long term and were directly caused by phenterimine ! By the way.......I gained back 102lbs taking me above where I started!

Yes, everything was fine. Unfortunately it was at 3:00am and Texas City Emergency Management calls each and every resident to inform them of every incident. I had 4 phone calls in the middle of the night.....didn't get much sleep!

Is the hair loss permanent ?

This is an incredible story!The next time you come down to Galveston message me..... I would love to join you. I have been banded for almost 6 months and am already losing my mojo.
