I'll keep my fingers crossed for you too! Good Luck, and keep us posted!

Welcome to LBT and congrats on getting the approval!

Welcome to LBT! Good Luck!

I use the flintstone chewable vitamins.

Patty - I am so happy you made it to bandland! I always say "where there's a will, there's a way!" You'll get better with each day! Just remember to keep walking and sipping that water!

Welcome to LBT! I wish you luck in your journey!

Welcome to LBT! I'm glad you decided to come out of hiding and post with us! Let us know when you get your date!

I didn't have any problems! Hmmmmmm

Welcome to LBT! You aren't the first person to have the gastric bypass and gain the weight back, and you certainly won't be the last. Everything doesn't work for everyone. There is a lot of information for you to read on here just for taking the time to read it all. Good Luck with your surgery!

Welcome to LBT! Don't worry, you'll get the hang of eating and it won't be so bad.

I always get a small bruise, heck I bruse with a blood test! It only lasts a few days and it's gone.

Good Morning Y'all! Darcy I didn't know you were moving up there! Wow, what a beautiful place to wake up to each morning. I bet you see all kinds of wildlife setting around drinking your morning coffee! Patty - Hope you are doing fine! It gets better each day! Beanie - Glad the job is going good for you. I bet it is really nice with less worry and closer to home too! Eileen - Glad the job is going good for you too! We miss you here each day. Deb - We were just talking the other night about going to the horse races, we live right by one and haven't been yet. The neighbors said we should all get together and go. I think it would be fun! Glad you had a good Mother's day! Kat - Hope you got some rest! It sounds like a wonderful trip. Sherry - How's the studying going? Chrispy - How's the dating scene going? Anymore interesting boys? Mandy - Are you feeling better? How's Abi? Well, got to run, check back later!

Hello from another Texan! There really are a lot of us on this board! And the ones I met are really great gals!

I had mine repaired at the same time as surgery and I couldn't even tell it. I had the shoulder pain for the first week, used a heating pad and after that it was just fine.

I drink water all the time, it's good for you!

Good Luck to you, I sure hope you feel better soon!

Congrats! You made it though the biggest step! Good Luck!

I have a lot of gas, but no pain with it. It is a problem at times and I have to excuese myself and go in the restroom.

If you can't keep liquids down then you need to get to the doctor. You will get dehydrated really fast, so you have to be really careful. Please don't wait too long!

Glad to hear you got a little bit taken out, it's not good to be too tight! Glad you are feeling better!

I can drink water normal, I don't have to sip. I had to sip when I was first banded though, but once the swelling went down, I have been fine since.

This is a time for healing, so don't worry about it. Once you get a fill you'll start losing.

Dinner for me! I usually do a salad with some protein on it for lunch.

I didn't go to Mexico, but I would suggest you travel as light as possible. Just remember you have to carry everything back with you return. Hopefully you are taking someone to help you though. There are some threads on Mexico and what to take on here, you might want to do a search on it. Good Luck!

I pretty much eat everything, just in smaller amounts. Don't worry, you are doing great in the w/l department! You don't want to lose too fast, it's not healthy!
