Ms.AntiBand

I bruised also and has the pulling sensation as things healed. Just keep an eye on any noticeable swelling

Luckily, or unfortunately depending on the view.. There are plenty of homeless people around my town who appreciate my doggy bags. Whether for themselves or their pets, I have no clue. But you're right.. The cycle has to change in the mind before any "tool" can help us.

It's normal, but don't think about what you can't have.. Think about what you're going to have. A new healthier you and a lot thinner and happy you. Look around and you can see yourself as one of those happy healthy thin people. It's a natural high or me

Sweet dreams and good luck!

It all depends.. On about a gazillion different things

Exciting news.. Congrats!

Don't worry about your period before, during, or after surgery. Docs don't care and neither do the staff. They've all been there done that.. No biggy.. So relax

I am NOT going to learn to make Cronuts! I learned to make funnel cakes and I've named my thighs after them

Please please pleeeease ont chose a cheap dr in the states. That's a big NO! MX drs are way more experienced and all are great. You will be pleased with any of the drs mentioned above. My dr was Dr Ponce and I also recommend Dr Rodriguez (previous surgeries) Dr Ponce is $5,500 unless you're a revision. I don't know Dr Rods sleeve price. Good luck!

I heard about these! If you're not there at 5 am you don't get any. 6 to a customer @ 5 bucks each if you're there otherwise it's the $40 you mentioned. That's crazy stuff right there

Rox.. Just ask for the bariatric "bible" It's not an exclusive thing. Almost everyone will share their drs instructions if they still have it. Mines on my desk top and I don't need to religiously refer to it in order o succeed. You learn what you need to through research and others helping you out. That's what this forum is for

There's no dunkin in the Pacific Northwest.. Maybe still in Portland, but think that's gone now too. We have Top Pot and Frosts.. Too die for! ( literally)

I'd change mine, but I don't know of a good name. I'll have to think for awhile.

I'll have the cheese burger bacon donut please

Now that's exciting! Congrats to the skinny jean you

OMG.. ABSOLUTLEY NOOOOOOOO... Dominoes suck.. I love Pizza Hut has greaser crust... YUM,

Heh.. I remember doing the same thing. Now I can eat 1/4 cup without any trouble.. And w/ berries! Be patient and you'll get there

I'm pretty sure we all know what you meant by it and the reasoning behind the snide remark probably is best left unanswered. *rolls eyes*

And the point of making the MX remark was what in relationship to drinking soda pop?

Our husbands dreams come true!

Exactly.. It's the small things that mean so much and leave us smiling. Just being able to walk by my reflection in a downtown window and not moan was mine today

Trust me you don't want the lapband. Read my story on my profile page. I'm sleeved now and can eat anything I want, but just A LOT less. I'm lucky though because since my surgery I have no desire to eat. It's no longer a mind dwelling issue for me.

I have to admit when I saw the pic of you before I thought you were the mom and when you posed with your sister before prom you now look like a sister. You look so healthy and young now. Heh.. I'm so happy for you

LOL.. Well, crap there goes that theory. I'm 5'3" too!

You're amazing. What a difference! You must be fairly tall because I don't weigh much more than you and belieeeeeve me.. I don't look anything like you Great job!
