Congratulations and I'm wishing you a speedy recovery!!! Come on over to band land its great!!!

My mom being the first I ever told I was getting banded other than my husband says that if she can ever get medical insurance again( she doesn't have any right now) that she would be in line to get banded as well. she has been over weight for years and I hope one day she can be banded too! i've had several friends ask me in detail about the band and 1 is looking into it and even went to one of the band seminars. I think the thing is that there are so many people that just don't know it is available and the more that we tell the more it can help some one else... but I also understand it is a very personal subject and one that is very hard to share with everyone.... most overweight people understand how we feel and would love to know that there is another option other than GBP.. but then some people will judge and be ugly .. so it is something to be careful to tell or not to tell!!! I see people on the street that are over weight and I just want to go up and start telling them about the band.. I don't... for fear I would embarse them but when given the oportunity I do tell people about it and you would be so suprised at the hugs you will get from strangers that you don't even know that tell you thank you I will check into that!! You might change someones life if you do tell in the right situation and on a personal level!!

I take a flinstone every day to..... yabba !!!! dabba!!!!! dooooo!!!!! LOL!!! I also chew 2 tums in the morning for the extra calcium... per my Dr's orders!Along with a B12 lasenge that melts really quickly!

Gosh I'm so happy to see these great updates!!! You guys are all doing awsome.((((((GROUP HUG)))) !!!!! I must add that I had a great NSV today!! I can fit into size 18 pants.That means I'm down from size 26 to an 18!! YIPPIE!!! Also my knee is no longer swelling for days on end and no Fluid is setting around it like it was before losing 60 pounds. I'm feeling better and better every day... I love my band!! Keep those updates coming March bandsters. You guys are encouraging me to keep reaching for my goal!!

So excited for you!!! Congratulations on getting your band date!!! Good luck and I'm wishing you a speedy recovery!!

I just had to pull this thread back up. I need to update. I've lost 47 pounds since I got banded on March 18th 2005 ... but even better than that I've lost 60 pounds since Febuary 2005. That means I'm 1/2 way to my goal!!! Yippie!!! Anybody else want to share an update. You march bandsters are rockin!!!

I love when this happens and some one that is with me ... even if they know I'm banded says are you full all ready!!! My husband said if he keeps eating my leftovers he is gonna need to lose weight next!!! Deffinatly count it a victory!!!
