PLEASE let him know that he and Patty are in my prayers. He is a strong and a very positive man. He will make it through this!! I have a friend that has brain cancer and 4 months ago they put her in hospice and told us to spend time with her and say our good-byes. Today she is home and doing good. Spending lots of time with her 5 year old daughter. She is a fighter and I know that is why she is home today!! Be strong Wipple my man!!!

:welcome: :welcomeB: :welcomeB: :welcome2: Hi Dreamer, Welcome to LBT!!! Congratulations on getting the band. I think its great you got to do it along with your daughters!! How fun!

Nah, I'm a Gemini and I'm not skinny. I may be a bitch but I'm not skinny yet!! :bananapartyhat: :bananapartyhat:

Wendy Hall does fills once a month in Mesa. I only have her Snowflake phone # but give her a call and she can tell you when and where she is. Wendy Hall Snowflake Womens clinic 928-536-5377 she is registered with "fill center USA"

I would get the band again IN A HEART BEAT!!! Even if I lost my band tomorrow (oh please God no) I would still think it was all worth it! I am a preschool teacher of 30 three year olds and I was back to work the following week of surgery. I would have gone back sooner but it was Thanksgiving and the school was closed. Send that packet in! Go to some seminars! Go talk to a surgeon! Keep researching. I have been banded for over a year and a half an have had no complication at all. (fingers are staying crossed) Good luck!!

Great job Michelle, I knew you could do it!!!!!!! :huggie:

Hi. sorry I don't have any answers for any of your questions but I wanted to say Hi and Welcome to LBT from another AZ Bandster! :jaw:

Bettina, I would do it again in a heart beat!!! Of course I am one of the lucky ones and have had NO complications other than 2 over fills. But they are easly taken care of. and I've had some terrible BP's but I still have no regrets. I know there are some that are sorry they got the band but for me the good far, far, far outweigh the bad. It's a tough decission to make because it isn't a for sure weight loss. It's lots of work. I still have to watch what I eat. Dieting is not out of my life and never will be. I just take this journey one day at time. I love my band!! Good luck!!!

I count my calories, fat and protein everyday!!

Richard Simons has a tape/dvd out for people who are wheelchair bound or just have limited mobility. I think it is called "sittin' to the oldies" or something like that. Personaly I didn't care for it. He was just too goofy for me in this one. I love his other tapes but cant get up and dance because of my spinal disease. I have the tape but not sure where. I am sure it is still here somewhere collecting dust. I'll have to see if I can find it and then I will post the correct name for you all. He also has one called "stretching to the classics" That one is pretty good. As for me, I do 10 min. of my own form of tie bo(sp) sitting on my bed every morning and every night. I also do sit ups on my bed with my legs hanging off and holding a 10lb weight. Then 3 days a week I use my stationary bike for 20 min. when I ride my bike I usually wear my sauna suit so I will sweat. (I don't sweat unless I have this on)

:update: :faint: :update: :faint: :update: 2 Big things happened to me this morning when I went to weigh in! I am in ONEDERLAND and I have lost over 100lbs!!:omg: 107lbs to be exact!!! I still have a LONG way to go but I am so happy and have cried most of the day. I took a picture of my weigh in but I have very ugly feet so don't laugh. OK? :note2: :note2: I'm the happiest girl in the whole USA:note2: :note2: You know, I don't think I could have done it without all the support from all of you here at LBT!!! Thank you from the bottom of my heart!! Or the bottom of my ugly feet! :grouphug: :cheeky

:welcome: :welcome: :welcomeB: :welcomeB: :welcome2: :welcome2: Hi fellow Arizona bandster!! Welcome to LBT!!! Congratulations on getting Dr. Simpson, I hear he is a wonderful surgeon!!

Hi vericks, My Doc usually doesn't require anything before my fills but he says to go on liquids for 24 hrs after then take it slow to see how it goes. Good Luck!!
