Awesome job, so proud of you.

Oh boy.

I work for ALLERGAN. The pharmaceutical company that created the lap band. We are currently trying to sell it to another pharmaceutical company, it is a fading fad. That is all you need to know.

Thank you

I keep asking in different threads when it's mentioned. I guess I can google it...

My dr said you can stretch it back out again too, but have a feeling he was saying as a scare tactic. Dr say a lot of stuff that is not based on research just bc they are a dr and they can "practice" on you.

What is the pouch test?

Just remember... Just as before, you can shrink your stomach back down by cutting back and eating less.

Me too! [ATTACH]14558[/ATTACH]

Aww poor hubby. Id stay away from the cookbook part for now. Just do things that make you smile. I hear safe haven is a great movie!

At this point, you are ok to be left alone. I know you are upset so take this time to have some quiet reflection and goal setting time. Pamper yourself, relax, talk to God, watch some good movies... And try to look at the positive. You obviously have a good husband and children to be involved in church that way. Even if it is "clean fun". You are not being abandoned, you are being blessed.

It's refreshing and easier in extreme heat to have ice all day. TX is really really hot.

Your morning weight after you go to the barroom is your truest weight. Everything you eat and drink after that will show up on the scale. Just 2 cups of water you drink would = 1 pound on the scale. so just go with your morning weight.

I'm in TX too. I live very close to fiesta tx. Just chew on ice ALL day long.

I had the same problem but it turned it to be gas. I never had wired gas pains like that before surgery so I was paranoid too. If it gets worse just call your Dr.

I'm an adrenaline junkie too. It feels the exact same. No worries

Thank you for sharing

How does eating feel now?

You can also get large water proof band aids from wallmart. They work really well.
