Welcome to all of you. Try not to worry. It is a great xmas gift to yourselves. I am so glad i did it . I feel great now. Let us know how you all do. Donna:rain::gluck::welcome2:

:rain::rain::rain::rain::rain:I wish i was wearing my flip flops.

I agree with Jack that the longer you stay away from it the easier it gets. I have not had a milkshake since i got the band because i am afraid if i got one, i would be off and running. Sugar is so..... good and so..... bad. Donna

Best of luck Tracy. Let us know how it goes and welcome to Bandland! Donna

Maybe people are not answering because they don`t know. I know i don`t. I would be afraid they might. I hope someone who knows answers your post. I just wanted to let you know we are here , just do not always have an answer. Donna

I love that. They showed it on tv the other day too. Donna

I think this is a question for your doctor. I would never advise on something like this because it is so serious. So sorry you have had to go through so much.Let us know how you are doing. Best of luck, Donna

Thanks so much everyone. It is great to get such support here. This is me dancing. Donna:Banane10::):):)

Congrats, be sure to let us know how you do. Donna:ranger::clap2::clap2::clap2::clap2:

I have done really well with the band. You lose slower , but it is safer. For me it was the only way to go. Donna

I think it takes more fills for some than others. I have had three and i can only eat small amounts. Really small. I have 2.5 ccs in a four cc band.Keep asking your doc what size your band is. That is something you should know. Donna Good luck

Welcome to the board. Let us know how you do. Donna

Thanks Sades, I love your ticker. It felt so good to feel like i looked good enough to go dancing. It has been about three years or so. Donna

Hang on every body!! It will get better soon. Welcome to Bandland. Donna

Too funny. Guess you should of thrown them away. Donna

Glad your surgery went well. Is your arm better now? Donna

I am so...... glad i did it. I can only speak for myself, but it has given me back my life. Best thing i ever did that was just for me. Well this and college, both for me, both smart decisions for me. Donna

Hi! Congrats on your great weight loss!!! You have really done great. I know how you feel tho. I went to a xmas dance last night and everyone told me i looked great, but i could not believe it was me they were talking about. Donna

:clap2::clap2::ranger::rain: YEA!!!!! I am finally out of the one ninties. I am 189 as of this morning. It might have helped that i went to a xmas dance last night and danced my booty off!! I am so happy to be back in the 80s. Donna:update::amen::flame::love:

I am agnostic and i will go see the movie because i like Nicole Kidman. The protests will only help the movie. People seem to be afraid of anyone who does not believe the same thing they do. I don`t really care what anyone else believes , as long as they are not out to hurt me. Donna

It does not bother me at all. I don`t think there are any children on this site. I would say if one thread bothers you , just go to another one. The only thing that bothers me is when people attack one another. When i see that i go to another thread. Donna

I have lost 47 pounds so far and do not have any problems with saggy skin. Hope it stays that way. I lost in my wrists and fingers both, everywhere really. I don`t think the tea will be a problem. Crystal lite is my new fave drink. Let us know how you do and welcome to the board. Donna

:clap2::clap2::clap2:WOW!!!! You are doing great! Congrats! Donna:clap2::clap2::clap2:

I have 2.5 ccs in a 4 cc band and i have good restriction. Donna

I would be so hungry at 1000 cal. a day. Lucky for me i lose just fine at 1600 a day. I have 2.5 ccs in a 4cc band and i have good restriction. Donna
