  1. Voted! Good luck! That's so awesome they are doing that!!
  2. Darn auto correct. Not dye either!! Due!!
  3. I just had my second surgery today die to complications with my band tubing. It came disconnected from the port! Could use some words of encouragement! :/
  4. I feel really good. I can tell its there!! Definitely not able to eat as much, fuller longer!! I'm excited!!
  5. Got my first filling today!!! 5cc! =)
  6. I'm schedule for a fill at six weeks which is Tuesday.
  7. I'm scheduled for a fill. Doctor won't do it till its been six weeks to insure complete healing. I'm just hoping it will cut back on what I can eat and stop the hunger. I'm surprised by what I can eat and just have this fear I've stretched!!!
  8. I had itchy incisions too. Almost felt like something was crawling under the skin. This is normal, just the body doing what its suppose to, repairing the trauma. Mine also felt like there were knots but this went away too.
  9. I'm 5 weeks in and haven't had a filling yet. I've gradually been able to eat a little more and hungry more often. Please tell me the filling will correct this!!
  10. I can not wait for Victoria's secret! =) I cringe when they have their semi annual sale right now! Can't wait to blow some serious cash in there!!
  11. I love dress barn! That's so cool they are willing to do that for you!! My mom has offered to pay for a large chunk of my shopping trip, she's almost as excited as me!! I'm picturing a "pretty woman shopping spree" moment!! =)
  12. I experienced a little leakage too and I'm two weeks post op. Only after showers. Just keep an eye on yourself.
  13. One thing I think about when I lose the weight is going on a shopping spree! All new smaller, cuter clothes! Who is with me and what's the first thing you would want to buy? Mine is panties and bras!!! =)
  14. I'm one week post op and the surgical glue is wearing off. Question is...after every shower one of my incisions begins to bleed a little. Nothing major just wondering if this is normal. This was my first surgery ever so I know nothing!
  15. Stage two ...full liquids. I've not had any true full feelings yet as in "stop now out its coming back up" I've drank very slow and can feel the liquids dripping into my second stomach.
  16. Starting to hiccup a little, not painful but should I be concerned?
  17. I'm so with you. I go to sleep pretty quick but then up at 1 to 3 in the morning for about 5 hours before I feel like I'm going to crash! Hope it works itself out soon cause I don't know what else to do.
  18. I had my surgery on the 23rd. Completely off pain meds. I usually sleep on my side but because of the uncomfortable feeling and soreness I'm staying on my back.
  19. I am struggling with sleep. I go to sleep fine but wake up at crazy times in the night. I'm usually a sound sleeper all night long. Just wondering if this is normal or if others experience this?
