Wow!! I am so jealous!!! We look, but right now it's only a dream!! You definately have a keeper!!!! Take a ride for me!!! You lucky heifer!

Congrats on your weight loss! 13 lbs is great!

Welcome to Band Land!! Hope you have a speedy, pain & gas free recovery!!

You have a great looking family!

:whoo: :whoo: :whoo: :whoo: :whoo: :whoo: :whoo: Congrats to all of you on your surgery dates!! Keep us updated!!!

I drink hot coffee in the morning followed by runny oatmeal. I was given some advice a long ways back about drinking warm or hot liquids to open the band. It works! Using sauces with your protein is another very good suggestion. It does help! & I agree with just trying liquids for a while. Keep us updated!

Congrats on your surgery date! I agree with everyone else, it will fly by! If you like cheeseburgers, make sure you eat one before your surgery. They never were my favorite, but I do miss them from time to time. Burgers & my band just do not agree with each other! Keep us updated!!

Lovecats85 (Laura) gave some good advice. Just eat till satisfied & don't eat just to eat! Right now you shouldn't be worrying about losing weight. You just need to worry about eating right (per physician orders) & letting your tummy heal! It is totally normal to even gain weight before you have a fill!! Only a rare few have restriction just from being banded. Good luck to you! We're here for you! Relax!!

This is a wonderful place isn't it! You know we love ya! Keep posting those NSVs! The SVs will come eventually! That's what I keep telling myself! You can PM me anytime!

Wow! I'm impressed! You have really done great!! Congrats!!!

:star: :star: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: After everything you have been through? 20 something pounds is nothing!

Welcome! Nice to meet you!

Welcome! It's nice to meet you! It does get easier!

I'm in Arkansas so I can't help with the doctors. Sorry! :welcomeB: Nice to meet you!

:welcomeB: Congrats on your date! We are almost band sisters. My 1 year anniversary in Janaury 26. Hope you have a speedy recovery!

:welcomeB: Glad you found us! Good luck to you!

:whoo: :whoo: :whoo: :whoo: :whoo: Good Luck!!!!

Welcome! What kind of problems?

Welcome back! Congrats on the weight loss!!

I'm all for plastic surgery! But personally, I wouldn't want to go through the recovery of a full body lift. I don't even want to imagine it! But, that is a personal choice for everyone to make. If you think you can handle the recovery, then you have my respect!! LOL

Wow! Congrats! Let us know when you get your date!!

:doh: Ouch! Hope your feeling better! :hug:

I was the second band my surgeon had done. The first was a couple of hours before me. Yes! I am very happy with my band & my surgeon!

:) WTG!! You look great!
