Well of course I called my Dr. and he said it was the right amount for the swedish band and He said I could have more but he is coming to Dallas so that he will be in an office and not doing it under flouro.

I have a swedish band by johnson and johnson. So okay now aI feel more easy... thanks

WHippledaddy, Your post brought tears to my eyes. I don't think you have anything to worry about. Your wife sounds as if she loves you the way you love her. Sometimes our insecurities manifest themselves when our mates make a change. My husband met and married me when I was at that time my all time high of 270. I then since our marrage went up to 299 and now I am back to 269. He never wavered a day when I was going up and now that I am comming down I notice I must remind him all the time that he is the reason that I have the strength to do this and whether I weigh 300lbs or 180 my love for him will not change.

Hi I am going in for my first fill on the 13th and my apt person said the dr. will probably put in 3cc's does that sound normal to any of you?

Oh does it have to be sundays at six...I bowl on sundays and I would never be able to chat how about 4:00pm Then I could talk with you all and it would only be 7 on the east coast:)

Killer runs our bed we sleep around him...lol he is only 8lbs a Chiuhauha. And Diva she's or Chi-pom sleeps at my feet.

Hey we all post and post and post...Do we ever chat live? If so I feel left out I want to chat with ya'll!

I love my dogs too. I would have never had the heart to take the blankie. Although I must admit I will never have to they sleep inbetween me and my hubbie

Thanks everyone! Yes I am eating trust me...I am now walking and drinking my Water... I think it helps. :D

Ohh that's too bad... we could run by and kick him for you!

My girlfriend had the gastric bypass about 4 years ago and until I learned about the band I wouldn't even consider it. I ditto everything that everyone else had said. My recovery (I think I am a quick healer) was fairly easy. I was up and walking the same day and feeling great by week two! Good luck on whatever decision you make.

I thought they had to stay within the family...maybe they can go over the internet...better be carefull out there I am ready to lose more. lol:D

So then if a plateu is normal when do you know when to get a fill?

God is good and I am so glad he lead me to this decision...One of the decesed had the band first and then went with the bypass after having it removed...how sad I feel for all of them:think

I never thought of what I am going to do when I reach goal...good thought and good to know....I guess for me it seems so far away besides so far the weight has been taking its time

Good luck Penni, I know that every thing will turn out as it is suppose to. Just take it easy and not stare to hard at the Dr. lol

Thanks Alex, I was afraid the cosmos were out for good...How do I have sex in the city with the girls without at least one:D lol

Thaqks Penni! I am just trying to be like the rest of you marvolous creatures! lol

Hey after two weeks at the same weight I decided to use the fitday and track my calories and stay off the scale. This morning I could not resist...addicted to the scale as we say. After only three days whoop there it was 4lbs gone. I was not hungry and thought I needed a fill or worse yet that I was going to fail at this too. But nope I am doing it. (sorry I just have to pat myself on the back a little) Yea me! Mu husband has said that he can see it and my co workers too, but I wanted that scale to say it and now it has. I have officially lost 27lbs! Hip Hip Hooray!

The only thing I was told not to drink was alchol that is a no no...btw anybody know if you can drink one occasionly?

Wow what a wealth of knowlege you all are... I am afraid I don't have any advise. But I do have lots of prayers for you. I pray that God will lead you to the answers that you are looking for and that you will find the help that you deserve and need.

Hey thanks for the link. I too have thought that what controls us is just like having a disease. I almost wish I did have another one because then I wouldn't have wasted so much time being disappointed in my lack of contol. The funny thing is, is that I am a control freak elswhere. I've had the discipline to work two jobs and never be late for the last 6 years and when I was an athlete I never missed a practice or meet. But now, I should say before the surgery I couldn't skip a cookie. It is definatly like a drug... My 2 Cents:) Ps how do I make the banans?

You look marvoloous darling.... Wow thanks for shraring the great pics. You are inspiring and beautiful...You go girl! :D

I think you are really screwed as they say. I know you need a lawyer but I don't think you have any recourse. Some years back my roommate had credit cards with her x boyfriend and when the sh__ his the fan she sued him to try and get him off or her money...she lost eventhough she had all the proof. I hope things have changed or that maybe the law is different with homeloans...I would talk to leagal aid they are free for advise. Once again I am sorry for you.

Just got it yesterday...Love it!
