Heading out the door for another fill. Hopefully this will give me restriction without the reflux. I'm asking for .25 cc; they took out .5 cc so I'm figuring if they put 1/2 of that back in, maybe that'll be just right. One can only hope.

Congrats again on the sleeve, Susan. Not to rain on the sleeve parade, but I'm still happy with my band. I don't think the sleeve will ever be an option for me as I am very allergic to metals and the staples used in the sleeve would probably cause an untreatable infection that would kill me. Here's to hoping for long term success with my band. p.s. On that note, I'm going for my "refill." This time I'm going to ask them for just .25 cc. They took out .5 cc last time so I'm hoping this .25 cc will keep me at that magical "sweet spot."

Just saw it too. Not sure whether I believe him or not and quite frankly, don't really care. I think he'll keep it up. He worked so hard and lost so much weight, I don't see how he can bear to regain it. Haven't seen you lately on PJTP.

Be careful of that furnace; you don't want to risk carbon monoxide poisoning.

Get well soon!

:thumbup: WTG :thumbup: BTW, welcome back.

Welcome back. Mac, you could give Manatee a run for his money.

LIlMiss, you know what that means. DON'T DRIVE THROUGH WATER. Houston streets and highways flood frequently yet people try to drive through and get stranded and ruin their cars. Those are the lucky ones. The others aren't around to tell us how much they regret trying to drive through what they thought was a puddle.

It is gorgeous in Houston today. Sunny, blue skies. No humidity and temps in the 60s. Now if it could only stay this way until summer. I have my fill scheduled tomorrow so I'm hoping that will kick off some weight loss. It seems for me I stall between fills. I will generally lose 6-10 lbs within 3 weeks of a fill and then I'll stall for a couple of weeks until I go get another one. That kind of formula can't go on much longer because at 4.5 in a 8 cc band, I think I'm very close to the sweet spot. The only thing left will be the exercise. I really, really got to get back into it. It will be much easier once summer hits and I can at least use the pool. I'm always a lot more active and energetic during the summer months.

Good morning butterflies. Just a drive by to say hey! :party:

Orea is also one my July Butterflies so I can vouch for her as well. :party:

CURE for 3:50 AM insomnia - beat up some mobsters and do some late night muggings, robberies, etc. I think I could embrace the name Donna Gambino (it does have nice ring to it). :party: Slim - maybe your DH is more amorous because you are sending out hotter signals as you start feeling more confident about yourself? Confidence is sexy. :hurray:

Not you guys, too! MY DH just read me the riot act. I guess I was I should have been born into the Gambino family. LOL

:wink: I haven't heard him in years but I used to really enjoy listening to him in my car during lunch.

I had a fill scheduled for last Tuesday but all of a sudden a couple of days before I started feeling like I was getting more restriction so I canceled. Of course, by Wednesday I felt wide open again so I rescheduled it for next Tuesday.

WOW! WTG! I'm so happy for you!

PJTP: Some of these soap opera divas are just too damned perfect looking to be people! You think they are animes?

Zing! When LBT doesn't want me, FB is always willing. So sorry about that. Any possibility you will be able take in the kids? me thinks she has the wrong man for a bf OMG! I love it!

OK, I'll do it. I can always unfriend him.

LBT is impossible to get on these days. Anyway, I have a completely random, unrelated posting: OMG! I just got a request from a stranger asking me to friend him on facebook and join his mob on Mob Wars. I'm actually tempted to accept because I'm clearly out of my mind and way too addicted to Mob Wars. Do you think it's wrong of me for even considering accepting the friend request?

Ok, I started multi-quoting and realized I was basically copying the last 2 pages. Anyway.... Seems we're all in agreement that Bob's team is losing brain matter along with their pounds. I was completely flabbergasted (that term somehow seems so appropriate when talking about BL). Manatee -- you're the bomb (A-Bomb) when it comes to episode recaps. Much better than the BL announcer.

Welcom to the "uncool" kids club. Yeah, right? BTW, I LUV the new avi, you gorgous thing you. Your MIL is a loser. I mean that in the sweetest way. PJTP: OMG! I just got a request from a stranger asking me to friend him and join his mob on Mob Wars. I'm actually tempted to accept because I'm clearly out of mind and way too addicted to Mob Wars. Is it wrong of me for even thinking about it?

Tina, I couldn't say it any better than Suzanne.

He's losing his manly men. LOL Yeah, right? PULEEZ, get over it already!
