Hi Everyone it busy girl... I come on for advise and I am so damn busy I can't even read the responces!... Anyway an update. I did call the Dr. and I now can eat again...out of the blue. Maybe it is stress. I have been drinking tons more water and excercising too... Heck I don't know. Dr. R doesen't this it has slipped and now I feel normal again. But I am definatly going to find a follow up Dr here. Thanks for all the advise....

Hi everyone! I am sorry I haven't been around lately. I feel like I have been away from home. Well I have had a few strange things going on in my body that I don't get maybe some of you have been through it and can help. With in the last few weeks it seems as if my restriction has gotten tighter. I am only at 2cc of a 11cc band but everything get stuck and I end up making it worse by throwing up. I am so fustrated because up to this point I had been fine. I had my last fill almost 1 1/2 months ago. I have been loosing just fine.... What the F--K is going on. My Hubby is starting to worry and now so am I. I have changed to eating mushy foods for now but I really don't want to take another trip to Mx if everything is all right and my body is just adjusting. I feel like I am whinning. So I appollogise. I should be happy because the weight loss is increased but I was great at the pound a week I was loosing. Help!

Hi Tall Guy, I went to Mx because I did not want the bypass and that was the only way I would qualifiy through Kasier. They said it was bypass or self pay so I self paid. I did not want the hassel either.

My doc also advised against it...

Chantal I can only imagine what you are going through. It is so hard to make decisions that will not only affect us but our children. You say to yourself, "Do I want my children growing up without a father?" and then ask yourself if that isn't already the case. I always think back to the song that says, "I can do bad all by myself" We are here for you. For encouragment and support. I will also pray for you. That God will move your life in a direction that is good for you and your family. BTW I don't think your husband is cheating on you yet... Women who cheat wouldn't tell you what a great weekend they had with your husband. I think he wants to though. Why else would he lie.

Lisa, Hey then we should all buy stock and then call the show. Then we can be rich an thin. No really. I think she has done the other show on the bypass so I can't see her objecting to this one. Rica

Figured that:D

Let's all write to I Oprah maybe she'll do a story on all of us... How we help each other. Our Victorys our problems... I think that would rock!

Hi Vicky, I see that you have a lot of health concerns... I am sorry about that. I will tell you a little about my journey so that you can see that you are not alone. My health was better than yours but my journey was simular. I started out by injuring my knee. I fell really hard and I weighed around 280 at the time. I rehabed it and felt pretty good until I fell again. This time my doc said the only way to truly get it back into shape was to loose at least a hundred lbs. I ran into a woman and knew a couple of friends who had the other surgery and I now started to contemplate it. Then I found out about the band...I knew this was the way for me. I made an apt with my Dr. (HMO) and he said I qualified for the gastric bypass that would have cost me my co pay of $5.00. But now I had already reasearched the difference and I knew that I wanted the band because I did not want the complicatons that go with the bypass. They told me the results were not proven and I had to either have the bypass or self pay. So I did a little more research and discovered a Dr who I would go to. Dr. Rodriguez in Monterey , MX. It cost me around 10,000 but I will never regret it. I hope you are able to have it done here, because while I am glad for my choice my folow ups are not on a regular basis. If you don't need a lot of support or you can find a l;ocal follow up Doc. I would do it.... I hope this helps!:mad:

Rock On Harly Momma... You look marvolous! Hey I am comming to Vegas the weekend befor the bash because of a bachelorette party. We will be partying at Seven on the Strip if you would like to join!

Donali, Can I call you superwoman!!!! Wow great job. I need some work done... do you hire out! LOL You better than my Hubbie!:mad:

Leatha Thanks for asking... I have been great. It is just my busy time of year right now. School is about to track off and I have parent teacher confrences and I am gearing back up to deal with my track team...(outa breath) and today I had a bridal shower for one of my best friends. So sorry if I am sparatic for the next couple of weeks. Thinks are great though. I am a teenager again...I can wear 18's Yea!

You all are a pleathera of info...

Teresa, Wow you look great! How long have you been married? You look so young.

Welcome Q Michelle, I was banded in June and I have loved every minute of it. I have had no complications other than my husban's libido rising...lol. Good luck and welcome.

Penni, Happy belated birthday! You should update your picture and smile I love those dimples!

Don't forget bbfn bye bye for now!

My purse would be so heavy. My husband already thinks I carry the sink in my purse. But your right I now keep a flat of propel in my car. It is even good warm.

Really paula? I am glad to see that I am not alone. It is soooooo hard not to drink and eat together or to wait the appropriate amount. I was in my classroom and I had eaten somthing small like a muffin and later I drank not even a good gulp of my water and pb all over the floor. My students thought it was hilarious because by coencidence I had just read the story earlier that week of My Little sister ate one Hare. A story about throwing up heathy things!

Thanks Marie! ((hugs)) Bettie the knee is feeling better but I am annoyed with Kasier. I have asked for an apt. it seems like ages ago and I think because my knee guru left:( no one seems to have time. I have been taking the Glucosimine and Calcium, and now the swelling is managable. So I am not complaning:cool:

Choochi Choochi coo! WHat a cutie pie!:Bunny :Bunny
