I'llsucceed

THINNER!!!!!!

NancySmiles & Greg - you guys need to chime in here- they both help run our support groups every month & do a Hecky of a job. They should have great imput. I have been going since Nov & have learned alot. Trish- I wish you lived closer & or had a group near you- maybe you could actually start one yourself!! Like meet at a coffee house or something- its a great way to meet others that have the same problems & success'. I've never been to NM. Maybe one day I will go & we can meet up;0)

What a great idea Penni is it possible to have side-by-side chat rooms on one screen? maybe one for a LBT subject & one just to get to know you chat? I'm not that great with computers so I don't really know.

Wow- What a crappy nite. I felt your pain with every-word. I am not banded but I do know they say walk-walk -walk to get the gases out & even suggested swimming. Oh wait, the swimming was for female cramps.:0) Just thought I could get you to smile this morning. Everyday is going to be better..All the bandsters will promise you this, so get a moving as much as possible today & tonight you'll sleep like a baby;0) At least I hope so. Good luck!

Have Fun & Than more Fun & than get that band- Fly safely home & be a big Looser!!!!!!!!!!!!! Good Luck

well said Audrey... I am sorry Beachbabe that you are going through this as well.Once you do find out why you were denied you will be able to fight more & combat any issue they throw at you. You could even use your examples. I sure hope you get it !

I'm here for the long haul too. I hope NO ONE leaves, for ever & ever till were old & gray. A bunch of old skinny Farts;0)

Hey Jan Welcome - I hope you find all sorts of answers here at LBT & loads of encouragement!

Glad to know your healing so well- In the next week you will improve dramatically. As soon as you see some yellowing of your skin that means you are almost all done healing. You got a good price for your eyes & ears. Just my upper eyes ran me $2800.00 but he is one of the best in Michigan.. I bet you will be extremley happy with your results, in 9 months you will even look better & a full year from now even better than that. that is one of the bonus to having your face/eyes done. Congratulations!!!

Paula Like everyone has said if you feel fine than I am sure you are. But I was raised on the better safe than sorry.. Do you think you could go to a local PCP? Just to maybe have a once over. I think you would have a real peace of mind & hopefully it would only cost you your co-pay. Thinking of you - Christina

Kelly, Sorry about the heal fast thing..Call it a BLONDE moment!! Anyway- good Luck & thanks for volunteering your time;0)

everyon is so very nice...thanks for the compliments & the Pms. TRISH - I can wait for our after photos either. It just seems so distant. PAULA- silly...wasn't really hiding, just love that little "family guy"character. Have you seen the show?-so well written..I love when he yells"Victory is Mine!" Bright-sorry about that, my name is Christina.. I love Dublin, Its been about 13yrs since I've been there but loved it! Back-packed the whole UK-tons of fun-Thnxs a bunch! Its more fun putting a face with the posts isn't it???

Alex, My very best friend had been having little dizzy spells on & off for about 5 mnths. She had seen a few docs & they couldn't find anything. But she continued to be dizzy once in awhile to the point were she had to lay down & would feel better for awhile until she was up for a hour or so. Well, we all finally had a family(me included) intervention & sent her back to a specialist- we were afraid of a possible tumor or worse......... When she called me to tell what the dizziness was from I fell off my chair dying...of LAUGHTER!!! Her ear tube on the left side was clocked with so much wax that when they flushed it literally quarter sized balls of wax came out. She said if her hubby wouldn't have seen all the wax -no one would have believed her. The only down size now is she can hear her 3 children much more;0) Have your ears checked out by a ENT specialist just in case. Her regular PC didn't find it but the ENT did. Good luck & I sure its nothing... Keep us posted. Christina

I LOVE you Marie!! You come from good stock girl!!!!! Congrats Kelly !

Jenna I want to officially be counted in. # 1 in for vegas bash please. I do wish to share a room with- whom ever doesn't matter.. If someone wants to share please PM me so we can set it up. Just need to know when the particulars come in so I can book it;0) Thanks for taking the reigns. Christina

Mine is on my Butt!! Just kiddin as you probably guessed. I just wish they could have mine below the bikkin line. but i know its not going to happen-which is fine:0)

Hi all I don't think the scale is right but I was at 246.5 today. Which would be 2.5 pds gone. I just think the doctors scale was different than mine at home. I will just use the home scale from now on & pray that there isn't a gain next week. Great job everyone! Christina

What a beautiful Boy & I just love his name. He really looks like a Nolan. I am sending prayers of healing & love to you & yours.

I do this one all the time -I yell "GOD BlESS....America!" My sister is a "FUDGE"yeller..and like others she says "FRICK" or "SUCK LE BLUE" french something, always makes me laugh. I personally like to yell"SUGAR!" OK - funny short story...its 2:23AM Monday morning -I can't sleep so here I am on LBT..There is this"zzzzz" "ZZzZZz" noise I can't figure out in my office.. I finally see this poor little fly upside down & struggling. So I blow on him to flip him over. He seems content for the moment (almost happy..Just kidding) and than "boom" over he goes again doing this stupid "ZZzzzZZzz" dance. I know he is going to die BUT I don't have the heart to kill him... So instead I'll go to bed & hope he is dead in the morning...(how mean& stupid). Thought I would give you all a little chuckly today. I am such a woose. And yes I let spiders crawl up on napkins & than shake them outside ;0)

Hope all is great & waiting to hear from you Alice :0)

Good For you!!! I tried at the start of lent & was great for 10 days. Went everyday for 1 hour-started slow & got faster everyday. But after that as usual I stopped going for 1 reason or another. Time to mount that horse again. I hope you keep it up -just don't over do it in the begining..baby steps...

I had no idea that the band switches from tight to loose & even gone from airplanes/weather & time.. Sorry to hear you are going through this! Maybe back to liquids for a spell. yuck ;0( Sometimes the more I learn about the band the more I just don't know if I should, could or would. Best of luck getting to the Doc & hang in there you might just surprise yourself how diciplined you can be;0)

This was for laser treatments MAINLY for my port-wine area. Please check with your doc about the type your using for hair removel. I do know that the one type I used which was pulse-dye laser did both(birth mark & hair) & it was a definte no sun after for a month & they recommened really 2. Always they said 45 block. The current laser I get is a Candela laser. It removed my eye brown but only the section being treated & it is Thank God growing back;0) Sorry didn't mean to scare ya- I do all laser treatments in the winter as well- thank godness for crapy Mich weather.
