October Chat
Good Morning Y'all! Gosh, a lot has happened, you miss a day or two and you are totally lost! I just was really busy so didn't get a chance to even read a lot on here. Kat - Wow, it sounds like you had your hands full with all that happened! No wonder you could eat all that stuff and not gain, you worked it all off! Glad you survived and got safely back home. You didn't miss too much on Grey's, she just decided she would date both of them. Lizzy gets to go back. Darcy - I quit buying Chrysler products because we had so much trouble with them. We owned 4 different Chrysler products, the top of the line ones too, and something went wrong with everyone of them. One they had to put a brand new motor in it at 500 miles, and the same one broke down on us at 2400 miles on a trip. Then one only had 30,000 miles on it and everything started going out too. No more Chrysler products for me. Glad you finally get a brand new vehicle!:clap2: :clap2: Cindy - We know you just wanted to make sure you got to start the October thread, so you did it a day early!:heh: Just kidding you! I sure hope the headache gets better! Ira - congrats on making it to goal! How is the DW doing with her band? Eileen - Glad to hear the surgery went well. Please keep us posted on how she comes through everything. Anne - Congrats on the scale moving. I wish mine would move again! Pat - Are you still thinking about the second opinion? I think I would! Patty - I am keeping my fingers crossed for you! I hope it doesn't take long to hear from them! Chris - Good Luck! Let us know how you did! Sherry - You need a vacation girl! I hope things getter better for you soon. Hire an older lady, they are much better workers.:car: Rita, Mandy, Jumbo, hello to each of you. I have to run, just looked at the clock and I am running late. Have a great day!

Awwww, I am so sorry about your band. I am glad that you do realize it wasn't your fault. So many times we blame ourselves for stuff like that. Please continue to let us know how you are doing. You have done an awsome job with your band. Good Luck!

Very sore after surgery
Welcome to bandland! I didn't really use anything for the soreness, but I did use a heating pad for the soulder pain. It will get better with each day!

September's Chat
Morning y'all! I hope I don't fall asleep at work today, I was awake all night and I feel like a zombie! I sure could go to sleep right now that it is time to walk out the door! Mandy - Have fun on your trip! It sounds like a fun time, make sure to take some pictures too! Wow! Congrats on that size 12!:clap2: :clap2: :clap2: Pat - I agree on the second opinion, from all I have read and watched, you don't need inserts they bring them up during the surgery. I'm sorry I don't have more time to post, just wanted to pop in and say hello to y'all. I didn't get a chance to get here last night, the neighbor invited us over for supper and it was so good! I was so tired I came home and didn't do anything. Of course once I went to bed, the head games kept me awake. I wonder why we do that sometimes. Sometimes I go for 3 weeks doing this and then it's over. I hope it don't last that long this time!

Will try to lose weight without surgery
Good Luck to you, I hope you succeed. One thing you need to remember though is a lot of the people with the band are happy, with no problems and that is why they aren't on here. This is a support group, and you will read problems etc.

All my hair is falling out
It is already starting to grow back, if you feel real close you'll feel the little hairs growing already, at least mine did. You feel like it takes a long time, but it will be back before you know it.

I need help- Banding 10-9-2006
Welcome to LBT! Everyone is different as to what they can or cannot eat. I pretty much eat everything, but like I said some can't. You don't drink during or after a meal so that you don't wash your food through and it stays with you longer. Good Luck, and keep us posted!
