  1. Let's try to make this work. We would enjoy meeting you all. Will the Cheese cake factory work for everyone. It will work for us. We can travel if needed. We are coming in from Aurora. It is only 30 min. to Oakbrook and 1hr the downtown.
  2. This is the beginning of a great new life. There are some good before and afters pic's on here today. They are so encouraging. After you make it through the first 6 weeks. Finding your good fill point is very imporant. A good fill makes all the difference.
  3. almost everyday I come looking for encouragement. What a good day. It is so good seeing that time does make a difference.
  4. Where is the cheese cake factory in Oakbrook. We love the one downtown. Could you check and see if they will take a small group.
  5. If you have the surgery you may have to change your name to just T. I was also about your size. You may want to look at our web site it has alot of info on our doctor in Mexico. Dr Sanchez get an A+ from my wife and I.
  6. Would Feb 19th work for you. That gives us a month for others to join. Is Oakbrook far for you. We are from Aurora.
  7. What if we just get together for dinner one Saturday. My wife and I do not no anyone that has had this surgery. We would not have to do a complete bash. Just go out to eat dutch treat. Any takers
  8. A week ago I had my second fill it took me to 2.8cc. I have lost 10lbs this week. I get full so fast. I can't eat solid meat yet only hamburger or chicken salad. I to can feel my drink going through. I have been losing all along because we have been doing low carb, but now it seems to be easy. A tight fill makes all the difference.
  9. We lost weight before the surgery on low carb. I have lost 46 and Deb 37 since Oct 4th.
  10. I just had my second fill. I have 2.8cc and have good restriction now. My question is I have a 4cc band If I get up to 4cc in fill and still have weight to loss what happens. I was stocked to be at 2.8cc on my second fill. My wife just got her first fill and it was 1cc. She has alot of room to go and only has 30 pound or so to lose. I wondered if anyone has ever been filled to the max. We have been working with our bands. We totally believe in Low Carb. We have come so far, but still want to reach goal. Time is on our side.
  11. I'm 3 months post op. I have lost 40lbs. I have not lost anthing for 3 weeks. My problem is early in the day everything I eat comes back up, but later in the day I can over eat. I often eat why to much at night. I am afraid if I get a fill I will not be able to eat anthing until night. My wife is having her first fill next week. I may go to. I'm just wondering if this is strange to not be able to eat early in the day and be able to eat to much in the evenings.
  12. I enjoyed seeing these great pic's.
  13. It is paid for and it is paying off big time.
  14. Leatha You are doing so well. This is from a Banqet we went to for Christmas. How do you edit the size of pic's Leatha fix it for me.
  15. Late july would be better for Us to.

  17. You folks really know how that make us feel good. We found the old pictuce a week or so ago. It was a real ego booster. I was down before seeing that picture. Thinking things where going to slow. It was a real reality check.
