Thanks Paula and Corgi for the complements!!! You both have made my day and my head is getting bigger by the minute!!! LOL!!!!

Well all I can say is I got banded 4 months ago and I'm down 40 pounds since I got banded.... Thats 10 pounds per month which is plenty. I lost 13 pounds before I got banded and I'm down a total of 52 pounds in all. Everyone is different and we all lose at a different rate!!!

Thanks for the suggestion on changing my avatar!!! By the way I still laugh at the pee pee dancer !!!! LOL!!!!

Thanks Trish!!!! Hows my new avatar look!!!!

Your health is so important you have learned so much and I'm glad to hear you say even without your band that you won't give up!!!! ((((HUGS))))

Sending Wonderful Birthday Wishes your way!!!!

Hey everybody, Sorry I'm just now getting back to this thread. Thank you all for your coments and I think it has helped me realize at least my Dr. isn't the only one that doesn't tell fill amounts. I feel I have the right to know .... but can also see Alexandras point and I really appreciate you all responding to this thread. I fell better knowing that I'm not alone in this!!! Thank you all!!!!

Hey Everybody.... Gosh where have I been!!!!! I totally missed this thread!!!! Thank you all for the compliments! Can someone pull up that second picture of me so I can make it my new avatar by request PLEASE!!!! Sorry you all had to wait on me... I've been away from LBT to long... I've just been buisy!! Trish is so sweet and I was so glad to meet her and her sweet hubby John too!!! He did some good singing.... Well I guess anyone could sound good after all the bad non bandster beverages we had. It was a special occasion though and we took advantage of it. Trish said I didn't eat much and my reply is...... who can eat much when your drinking all that alcohol!!HEHE!!!! Bad.. bad.. bandsters we are!!!! HEHE!!!! Trish thanks for posting the pictures!!!!! I had a blast!!!!

Jennifer Good luck to you on getting your band. I'm so happy for you and I know you will be a great success!!!! Wishing you a speedy recovery!!!

Sonja you are really doing good with your band. So glad you found us here on LBT!!! Good luck with your continued success!

My surgery took right at an hour!

Welcome to LBT! Good luck with your upcoming surgery.. I hope all goes well and I wish you lots of success with your band!

I was just wondering if anyone elses Dr. doesn't like to tell how much of a fill they give their pateints? My Dr says that an amount of a fill a person has doesn't really matter because everyone is so different in the amount of a fill it takes to give them restriction. I've had 2 fills and still don't know how much is in my band. I would really like to know just for general knowledge... Has anyone else had this happen to them? Whats the big secret anyway its my body and I have the right to know.What do you all think??

Brittany~ Good luck to you on getting your band. You are taking the best step in your life at an early age ... You will have a long and healthy life because of such a wonderful choice you have made!

Patty ~ Good luck on getting banded. I wish you lots of success. Just look at your band as a new journey you have never taken... Even in your truck! You will take a long road to get there but you will reach your destination!!!! Keep the faith and keep on trucken HONK!!!! HONK!!!!

Also remember if you are only a week out from surgery there will be no eating for you... Only liquids at this stage! That could be really hard if you are around people eating together. I really didn't feel like returning to work as soon as I did after my surgery much less going on a trip... but take it easy and it may work for you . Everyone heals and bounces back differently. You could feel geat after only a week. Good luck with being banded and with your desicion to go on the trip. I hope if you go you will have lots of fun and will help you feel better after surgery.

THis was really cute... me having a 5 year old they sure can say some funny things!!! Good luck with your band and hopefully your band will help the arms and legs too!!!!
