Have fun everyone, I wish I could be there

the Dr.s dont know what size band you will get. Once they go in depending on your stomach and the fat cells around is what determs the size the band they put... You will hit you sweet spot fill soon.. keep your head up... it takes a bit of time but you will get there.

Happy Birthday!!!!!! I hope you have a wonderful day!!!!!!!!!!!

wow great job Corinne I wish I had that kind of energy yesterday... Ugh I didnt do anything, 1st day and i sat and watched movies all day... what a bum I am and no wonder im not losing anymore weight. Maybe it will be better today

I drink mostly water... if we go out I like to have a Margarita or Long Island Ice Tea... I dont drink beer anymore so I think of all kinds of mixed drinks... other then that.. i stick with water!

Im not sure what it is.. but I really hope you start to feel better... Just take care of yourself!!!

Oh I am so in... I need the encourgment!!!!! I just bought some Walk Away the Pounds videos and I want to get started on them... (my poor neighbors downstairs) So Please count me in... I will start start tomorrow!!!!!!! I want to say bye bye to the 300's... (5lbs to go)

ahhhhhh poor thing... I had a hamster that passed away and I was so sad... but i got her replaced right away.. and she was just as cute. I hope your son feels better soon.

Hey Christina, I still have the pain.. but Im keeping a close eye on it.. the numbing is starting to really bug. Everytime I touch it it feels like im touching a burn. I dont see my Dr. for a long time... and I hope not to see him until next year... (Jan. 2006) Im just hanging in there. Thanks for wondering... Oh Im so ready for Vegas!!!

Hey Penni try to copy and paste the address to explorer, dont use aol.

Oh its going to fly by.... It will be here before you know it. Good Luck!!!

thats GREAT... walking is such a great way to relax and just get out... I know the feeling Good Job Lisa!!

When were you banded? April 28, 2005 What was your weight ON DAY OF SURGERY? 341 pounds What is your weight now? 304 pounds What size do you wear? 30 How tall are you? 5'1

i guess it could be several things... I am just going to see how it does and go from there... I will just keep a good eye out.. Thanks

Its like a sharp, burning, tearing feeling... the skin is numb but if i rub it hard I feel it, it seems like.... ummm okay when you get a burn on your arm... and you touch it.. it hurts like you just burned it again... thats kinda the feeling I hope its nothing... Im only 3 1/2 months out.. so like you Terri I hope it goes away.. because its really scarey and it hurts!!
