Morning Y'all! I am running late but wanted to check in too! Kat - You are right, you can cope with the news you got! I am so happy that it didn't spread. Also you couldn't get rid of us if you tried to! Unless you go in hiding and we can't find you, but then the apes could probably do that! All kidding aside, you know we are there with you, and sending prayers too! Congrats Jessica on the date! It will be here before you know it! Pat - I had left overs, maybe it was a good thing, mine didn't come back up! lol! I guess your fill is working huh? Well, I have 10 minutes to get dressed and fix my hair! Catch you all later!

OK, Kat we are all sitting on pins and needles here. We know things will be fine, but want to hear it! Darcy - Sweetie, hang in there, I just know things will work out for you. OK, I just walked in the door, got to get supper going.

Welcome to LBT and to bandland! We're glad you found us too!

Wow Nykee you look great! That is wonderful that you are out of the wheelchair. The more you walk the more you will lose! Good Luck!

Morning Y'all! Why isn't there ever enough weekend? lol I am going to try to get out of here early, the rain/storms are on the way and I hate driving the freeways when it's like that. There are so many accidents then. I don't want to be in one of them. Today I get to start training my girl, then in a couple of days the training will start with me. I am excited and nervous too! Signgirl - Its good that you are reading all the threads, you'll learn a lot from them, good and bad things. Just remember that everyone doesn't go through some of the things you will read. Kat - Your DH just needs to tell them he is not in good enough health to do all that anymore. For goodness sakes, you would think they would realize that. He just needs to say no, he can't do it. Why won't men stick up for themselves! Well, like they say, "behind every man is a good woman." My DH would never make it without me! Once he said in front of a party here "I don't know what I would do without Betty," and everyone said at the same time, "We know it Bill!" It was so funny! Well, going to run and get dressed and see if I can get out the door a little early. I hope it doesn't hit till I am at work! Morning to all you sleepyheads that haven't checked in!

I read all the old as well as the new threads on here. I learned a lot from people who had been banded for a long time. When I went in for surgery, I knew everything they told me just by the great people on here sharing their stories. Good Luck!

Welcome to LBT! I bet you never forget your band date!

That should be plenty of time. I went back in 3 days and did fine. Congrats on your date!

Good Luck! Don't for get to take a pillow with you for the ride home! It really does help holding in on the belly for bumps! Don't forget to post when you can and let us know you are in bandland!

All the emotions you are feeling is normal! You'll go through a lot of them before surgery. Keep busy, go shopping, read, or start going back and reading all the old posts on here. Good Luck!

This is a time for healing, so try popcicles, broth, tea, apple juice, and if you doctor approved a Protein drink. Welcome to bandland!

Congrats on your date! It will be here before you know it. In the meantime, read all you can!

Everyone is different, and some people can't eat everything. I am lucky, I can eat anything, I just have to chew very well. As far at the PB, some peole never have one while others have a lot of them. Some people slime and others spit up. You really just have to experiment with the food and see what works for you. There will also be times that certain food won't go down good that day, but the next day or a couple of weeks later it goes down fine.

Are you taking any meds? If so that might be causing it. If not make sure you are sipping everything. Most likely it is the swelling and the gas, but if you continue to have problems please call your doctor. If cold things don't go down well, try warm things like tea or warm broth. Make sure to keep sipping water and walking too!

Opps! Mandy you sure have a cutie there! lol! You could share and send him my way!

Good Morning Y'all! Well, I am finally feeling better! I missed work on Friday, but I was just too sick to go. I had a terrible sore throat, a bad headache and a fever. Then the sitting on the pot came and life was miserable. Welcome to the newbies, I need to catch up and find out what is going on. I read some of the posts, but not all of them. Kat - I hope you are feeling better! Keeping my fingers crossed for you! Pat - Mmmmmm seafood! I love seafood! Like you, my boob would trip them or flatten them! Cindy - I am like you just staying the same, I go up 5-10 pounds and then down 5-10 pounds. If I go crazy with the food/drinks, then I am up and if I am nice I go down. It's crazy! Eileen - Hope you enjoy your day out! Like you, I have laundry to do. I don't have as much house work to do as I did a lot yesterday. My DB and family came over and we had a cookout so I did some cleaning before that. Now I get to clean up the mess, then do the laundry. Sherry - Hopefully they will see through that lady! It seems like there is one in every office or place of business that thinks they own the business. Someone needs to put her in her place instead of tiptoeing around her! Well, I am going to get moving, I really need to check out the board a little bit as I haven't been on there either. I'll catch you later!

Hello Y'all! Sorry, I couldn't get on my computer for a while, it was being worked on. Then I was feeling bad so didn't do much of anything. I am still not feeling good, but have to go to work anyway. I can't take the time off right now. I also had a hiatal hernia and they fixed it during surgery. Not much to it. Pat those boats are something else aren't they? I guess you just have to be born inot a rich family to have one of those! Kat I am sure wishing you lots of luck with your tests. Well, I know I missed a lot of you, but just not feeling too good and I still need to get dressed. Later!

Good Morning Y'all! Sorry I was MIA this weekend, I was babysitting too! I'm getting too old for these all nighters! I feel like I haven't been to bed all weekend. Saturday night was the worst, I got about 1 hour of sleep! It's supposed to rain/storm here today, I'll take the rain but they can keep the storms. Hello to all of you! I don't have time for personals today, I have a pot luck at work and I have to get my stuff ready to take. I'll catch you all later!

Use a heating pad on you shoulder, it really helps! Make sure to do a lot of walking and sip lots of water!

I eat spicy foods all the time and it hasn't hurt me. I love hot stuff!

Good Morning Y'all! Kat - You know we are all there with you! Try not to worry too much, I know it's hard to do because we always think of the worst in our minds. You have the best of the best standing beside you holding your hand and sending up prayers! Good Morning to the rest of y'all!

Good Morning Y'all! Welcome Diane! Glad you finally found us! Thanks for the compliment! You are just around the corner from a "new" you! You'll be in bandland before you know it! My doctor charges $200 for a fill/or an unfill. Kat you know how Pat is, she has to check out the Doctor before she uses him! lol I have to go get in the shower, so catch y'all later!

Good Morning Y'all! Back to work, there never seems to be enough weekend to get everything done. Mandy - You can just come down here and do some of my remodeling/painting and I'll do all the cooking! lol Kat - Take your time and find a good doctor that knows what he is doing. Sorry you are still having problems, it's almost a new year and things has to be better for you then. Your pictures are beautiful! You look wonderful, I guess I didn't realize you were so tall! Pat - We'll look forward to meeting your gal you invited. If you liked her we know we will! Chrispy - Glad to see you posting again! Jetti - My guy (Jeff Gordon) won the race so I am not pouting! Sorry if yours didn't win! Cindy - Are you enjoying the warm weather or waiting for the cold? I'll take the warm. Sherry - You'll have to post a whole big picture of your tatoo. I want to see the whole thing and up close! It looks so purdy! Well, go to run and get dressed, see y'all later!

Good Morning Y'all! Wow, I have been really busy and haven't had a chance to pop in here. It is so nice to see everyone back here again! Friday night I had a bash to go to for work. It was a lot of fun and I got to meet some people I will be working for. I am going to be moving up the ladder soon, and I will be working with different companies and new people. It's good to see the faces of some of the people although I am sure I won't remember the names of them! Yesterday I went and got the shopping done, then later DH and I went out and had a few drinks and played some pool. Then we went and used my birthday card at Chili's. We had such a good time. Now today I have the house to clean, floors to mop, and laundry to do. I guess it was all worth it though since we had fun. Sherry - I love the pictures! Don't be afraid to post the other pictures, we are all in the same boat. We've either been there or are there! I don't know if we are ever happy with our bodies! Have fun on the ride, it sounds great! Darcy - What's happening with the dective work? Hope you can find some answers. Pat - Hey chickie, you look so great! We just have to meet someday! I feel like I have known you for years! Eileen - Yes, it is still warm here, still in the 90's, but we have a cold front moving in next week and then we are supposed to be in the 80's. I don't mind the hot weather at all, I could keep it all year long. I love being outside when it's nice, and I hate being out when it is cold! Cindy - I hope you got some rest! I don't know why anyone ever named it retirement, you work twice as hard! Patty - Thinking about you and hoping things are getting better for you. Kat - Hey girl, how did the tests go? I am keeping my fingers/toes and everything else crossed for you! Mandy - Love the pictures, and you are skinny! Donna - Glad to see you posting with us again. How's the weather there? Beanie and Anne - Check in girls, we miss you! Jetti - Good morning to you! Glad you found someone on your insurance! Well, I'm not getting any work done sitting here, but I am enjoying reading all your posts! Everyone enjoy your Sunday! I'm going to watch the race later, I have some fresh green Beans to snap and cook. I cook a big pot of them so I can eat them for a few days. I like them a lot better than the canned ones! Later!

If my Doctor had his way it would remain at 6 weeks, but I have talked him into 4 months.
