I told my dh a couple of weeks after surgery. It was hard for me to tell ANYONE how heavy I was (am).

Rickets! What the heck is that????

Well, somehow I managed to miss most of the ugliness that I have been reading about and for that I am glad. I am also very happy to see that our moderators are taking steps to bring this forum back to the health, happy place it once was. Thanks ya'll!

Yuck! Glad you're doing better!!!! I wonder if stress plays any part in acid reflux??? Could be it's one of those things that all sorts of outside factors play a part in.

Jamie, you're so cute! Now that you've changed your avatar to your pic, I can't help but imagine you doing the pee pee dance in your excitement, LOL!!!

Congratulations!!! So glad all went well and you're doing fine. Just take it easy and let yourself heal. Welcome to bandland!!!

My DL pic was taken when I was still fairly thin. I think the weight on it is 145 and it wasn't a lie at the time. My passport pic was taken when I got fat. Hmmm....maybe I should start carrying both.

Boy, did I ever!!!! My last supper lasted for a few months and I gain a lot of weight before going on the pre-op diet.

Wow! Kinky AND leaky! Your such a lucky girl! Sure glad they got you all fixed up!

Yeah, Vera!!! So glad the surgery went well. Hope your feeling fine! (I hate DFW Airport!)

Hi! Welcome to LBT!!! What you are experiencing is perfectly normal. 25 pounds in two weeks is a fantastic start. Many people (like me!) don't lose any weight until we get restriction. Hang in there and get your fill. Good luck!!!

212.4. I'm up 4 pounds since my unfill last Tuesday!!!

Count me in! I think I can, I think I can, LOL! If not I will just go get another overfill and lose 12 pounds in one week, LOL!! Let us know how we're gonna do this!

Wow, Alex! That's great!!!!

Awwww Paula!! I'm sorry you went through that. Hope you're on liquids and feeling better very soon!

Oh gosh, Jamie!!! It's gonna get here fast! I can feel your excitement in all your posts and I am excited for you. 12 pounds lost already!!! Girl, you're doing great! Heck, I think I gained 12 pounds pre-surgery, LOL!

Bummer! Hope you heal quickly and painlessly!!!

Hi Kathy! Glad to hear you're well and still losing. I recently had an overfill myself and hung onto it for 6 days. It was such a relief to get that unfill!

Glad to hear all went well this time. Hope you have a great weightloss journey, if anybody deserves it, you do!!!

((((Betty)))), I'm sorry your feeling sad today. I lost my dad a few years ago, and I know how you feel. And some years it hits me harder than others. Memories can be so bittersweet. I hope you feel better soon.

Hang in there, BigT!!! Your gonna get your band!

Girlfriend, been there and done that, last week! I, too, tried to hang on to that fill as long as I could and I so didn't want to give it up! But, oh, the relief has been so sweet!! Good luck with your unfill.
