I am in too!!! Cant wait!

when you actually get it done its not that bad at all.. read more post you will see that most people dont have a problem with the eating plan. Good Luck with everything. And Welcome to LBT

No He is letting me get more fills I have a appointment March 10th. I just wish I knew about this a long time ago, I would probably of lost more weight, with a tighter fill... I guess before I wasnt sure or what to look for in restriction.. now I do and at 2cc I can eat just about Normal.. Or more then Normal... (Hurry march 10th) lol

thanks everyone for your help. I think I know why now I have never had restriction. I have a 2cc fill and from what I know the VGB needs more then 2cc.... I am still going to get to the bottom of which band I have.. but I know for sure he said 10cc not 10cm... so yeah 10cc and 11cc is not much of a diffrence and they both are VGB so I will get it fixed now.... thanks again!

Oh im glad everything went fine! Yeah its a good idea to be very careful with your eating... I have NO restriction at all and I still get stuck sometimes when Im not careful. Now Go and Lose Some Weight!!! LOL

I cant say if you slipped or not, but I think you should call your Dr. and let him know. I know you have an appointment with him but i wuld give him a call anyway, he might want to see you sooner. Good Luck with everything and Let us know what happens. Take Care

I use just regular cocobutter lotion. I was thinking of using Vitamin E on my scars but I like the Tea Tree Oil idea from Pam... I have to look into that. My scares are really really bad.

Oh my I like tons of movies everything from Drama, Comedy, and Horror. Dream a Little Dream Green Mile The Others Stand by Me Tombstone Anything with Adam Sandler anything with Drew Berrymore and anything with Reese Witherspoon Office Space I could keep going but those are the main ones

Here is my story, after surgery on April 28, 2005 I asked my Dr. what size of band I had, He looked in my folder and said "It says you have a 11cc (VGB), but I know I put in a 10cc band" Okay from what I know this is a big difference. Now I am a bit confused on how to find out what band I really have. I have a picture of my band around my stomach, will I be able to tell from that? Or should I get my serial number and find out through Lap Band company? And who would I contact? I have never felt real restriction and I think that's why I have not been able to lose the weight. So what do you all think I should do? Thanks for your help.

Well i am glad it was nothing to do with your band.. and that you will be okay!!

Very nice Terri.. I bet you are styling in it!!!!

OMG Susan!!! That cracked me up... but I guess it does kinda sound that way huh LOL oh that is so funny!! I would think it would have gotten more hits! Anyway I will be calling my Dr tomorrow, hopefully he wont be to busy, just coming back to the office... we will see

Happy Birthday Mandy!!!! I hope you had a wonderful day!!!

ugh im only going to live until im 76 lol werid that I was born in the year 76... ohhh spooky this was intresting.

Hi! Im not from CO I am from NM but Dr. James Smith in Pueblo is my band Dr. I have traveled to CO about 7 times in the last 13 months, so I am up there a lot I think. Its great to meet you! Email me anytime...

seems like i am having the feeling all the time, sometimes are worse then others. I dont think it changes with my eating. **I called my Dr. and he was not in, They said he will call me when he gets back on Thursday. I guess I will wait and see**

:help: I have been having this really tight feeling in my throat, NOT my chest but right above on my lower throat part. I have NO restriction at all, I can eat like a normal person, maybe even more... Sometimes it is tighter then other times, when it gets really really tight my saliva glands go crazy, and it hurts really bad. I have had heart burn in the past but since the band I have not had any symptoms. I dont know if this is Acid Reflux I am feeling (was told heart burn and acid reflux are diffrent).. What are your ideas on it??? Should I call my Dr.? Thanks for your help

WooHoo!!!!! I am so happy for you! Let us know how you are doing!!!! (((((((((((((((((hugs)))))))))))))))

I had a drink the night after my surgery... I barely could drink the whole glass... (oh I wish I could do that now) So Thursday I had surgery and Friday night I had a vodka and juice drink and drank half of it... Now I can drink anything from Beer, to mixed drinks to wine..... I guess it just depends

I got a pedometer, but I dont use it....

Do they Wiggle?????? LOL (the hands... that is)

Oh that was so cute... Thanks for sharing

WOW you look great!!!!!! I love your smile and your bright happy eyes! You made my day!

I dont have self esteem at all... I hate the way I look.. I hate shopping for clothes and I hate putting makeup on right now.. Thats why I dont care, thats why I dont get all pretty, thats why I dont do my hair, or makeup... I just dont care anymore!!!! I think people will judge me wether I dress up or wear makeup.. so why go thourgh the trouble of doing so, only to get the same responce otherwise.

I always knoticed people staring at me, but I give them a big smile, and say hello.... I DONT make myself up.. I own 2 pair of pants, 3-4 shirts that I can actually wear and that is what I wear every day every week! I wear my hair in a bun my bangs pulled back and NO makeup pimples on my chin. I have dirty Vans shoes a oversized mens flannel type jacket! I guess you can say I am a Fat Slob! But I dont care... I dont care how people look at me, and if I do, I get over it pretty fast. Maybe one day I will feel comfortable to get all prettyed up.. but for now, I am just me! As for other people, I look at them and wonder why they are fat, or as myself if I look like that... but I dont look at them and ask why dont they dress better.. or wear makeup..... And its just me, I dont know! Maybe we should have a Bandster bash and do makeup and dress up party.
