I too had shoulder pain, massaging helped a lot, even quick short massage helped. Penni's right every day is better.

Yes, we had a thread on where's your port a couple of months ago, it was interesting and fun. Mine wasn't even where I thought it was, LOL.

I still don't know what ya did, but apology accepted here.

That was a very good question, I've been trying to put the same question into words, hungry is not good. I thought that was a sure sign a fill was needed or the sweet spot was missed. I've been at the same weight about a month, now that suks.

OMG, I can't believe I've started a todo, it seems every little remark these days is made into something abrasive. I merely meant that she had missed so much (of Ryan's 359 postings) in the short (1 month) time she had been on board. If she's ever read any of my posts Princess would know I've always tried to be sincere or funny, but never condesending....now if you want me to, ahh just kiddin, lol. As to anyone leaving that's your choice and loss, because I still believe this to be the best darn lapband site. Thanks LaMadam for explaining my reply, another point I believe important to new comers is get to know us before getting offended, we're all her for the same goals..support, info, comfort, fun, and friends, some of which now know more about me than some relatives. Just for the record, I'm not goin anywhere, I love it here.

[Hold on...a walk??? Couldn't we just vigorously shop?!!???] I do like that idea.

I'll be 55 in a few weeks and I don't miss dealing with those surprise visits. I used the hormone patch until the news release stating there was no proof estrogen prevented heart disease and trashed everything I was taking. I have a friend 4 years older than me and she still suffers with heat attacks. Bubba my guess that would be a drop in blood pressure than caused that. I'll bet you were going poopoo when that happened too. It's an awful feeling.

I found that I can eat anything and everything after 4:00, but play heck with everything before then keeping it down. I'm gonna change my signature line to hungry in VA

One night hospital stay for me and I was ready to go home, much better rest at home.

Book to where? How far is that from Atlantic City? We could go as high rollers. I gotta have particulars before I book, I hate no refunds if this falls through.

Betty I agree with you, most anyone who leaves will be missed. Princess you've been here a month, Ryan since July 04 and we've (LBT as a group) have shared a lot of thoughts with Ryan through out those 359 post..some happy and some sad. He will be missed by me and a lot of others...good luck friend.

No Betty, but the lady sitting in front of me at the banquet won $25,000.00. We had lots of fun and partied way too much for ol people. Protein first, why didn't I think of that?

Ewwwww how about Atlantic City, I need some more Harrah's credits.

And you moderators are putting up with this crap for free, omg what are you thinking?

I hear ya and feel ya, got my fill tomorrow after 4 days in New Orleans. I'm scarrrrrred to get on the scales.

Are moderators paid?

Oh come on Jack, be a good captn and share the diet, my mom is going to have to lose before she can be banded.

I just edited,(added spring or summer) oooooh, tongue in cheek, lol, hugs, funny, glad I could, yippee cause I could and I did. Sorry guys, I couldn't resist.

North Carolina's great for me too. I have resources for lots of realtors with huge cottages available in the Outer Banks, which includes Kill Devil Hills, Kitty Hawk and Nags Head, right on the Atlantic Ocean. Spring or Summer, whenever!

Heck no, none of his business, unless I weighed 125, lol.

I sure hope my doctor finds my sweet spot tomorrow, there's such a fine line, but all the difference in the world between being full and not hungry. I can easily be full and still hungry. My biggest down fall is not chewing enough, even now as I know I need a fill I will not chew enough, then here it comes....the slime!

I'm in Virginia, that's about as east as ya get, I'm ready.

Mine usually happens when I've not chewed enough and I can usually tell as soon as I swallow it's gonna happen. This has been one of the hardest things for me to change is gulping my food after I've gone too long between meals. When you get that golf ball feeling, don't inhale, it makes it much worse.

I was so afraid I would end up pbing this weekend while on my trip to New Orleans. They didn't give discounts at the buffet, and my DH couldn't by himself, so I paid $18.95 for a crab/tomato,onion/mushroom omlet, it was to die for. Then there was that itsy bitsy piece of carrot cake that I had to taste. I was beating myself up pretty bad over those nibbles, then I remembered I wasn't on a diet, I just had to eat little bits. I think I'll wait until my fill on Wed to weigh, prob had a few too many cocktails. I was so proud of myself, I chewed the heck out of every bite, for fear of the PB. I only had a minor pb and that was because I waited too long to eat. I usually know as soon as I've swallowed something that didn't get chewed quite enough it's coming back.

Wow Vera that was definately an eye opener. I think all of my 1 fill is gone too, I don't even feel banded, boohooo. I go for my 2nd fill on Tuesday. My doc doesn't use flouro so I'm always thinking with my luck that juice is going somewhere other than the port/tube. OMG awake during the entire procedure, what a woman!
