I appreciate it everyone. I may take you up on your offers so watch out! I had a pretty stressful day yesterday. I had to go to the Doc due to my head still hurting. They think I have developed migraines and gave me a shot and then some pills to take every two hours. It feels better today but I am still stiff in my neck from the pain I guess? I will be fine. Good Job Karen on the size 18! It feels good doesn't it. I feel like I havent dropped a size in forever. Hopefully this fill will help. I was bad last night and shared a brownie ala mode with Caity at McD's. :phanvan So that isnt going to help my waist line but it was soooo good! And I think the sugar helped my headache. :waytogo: Hows the foot Melissa? I hope it's feeling better. Keep them taters away from your foot. <snicker> :jaw: Dianne, How are the onederful's treating ya? I hope they keep going down and down and down. It feels so good when you get there and keep going. OK I am outta here I gotta go take care of somethings. I will check back later. Angie

That's the thing I am not on any birth control or any other type of drug and not sure why this headache is lingering. I go to the Doctor today at 11:10am. Hopefully he can figure out what is wrong. Because its been hurting me since Wednesday of last week. I am on mushies today and hopefully I can feel a difference. I am at 1.8cc. I did have 2 but he was only able to pull 1.2 out? Any reason for that? Do you know Kim??? Ok I am off of here I cant concentrate. TTYL! Angie

Hey Gang! My weekend hasnt been fun at all. I am feeling really bad. I was in the ER on Saturday afternoon due to a very very bad migraine. Not sure what has caused it but I was numb on my right side of my face, like I had a novacaine shot. The ER Doc said there is a slight possibility I had a mini-stroke. Or I could be having viral minigitis? spelling sucks! But right now my head and neck is still hurting but the numbness has subsided. I am done with the liquids tonight and get to go to mushies tomorrow so maybe that will help the headache? He didnt think that had anything to do with it since my headache started before the fill. I have to go to my Primary Care Doc in the morning for a follow up visit to see what is going on with me and they will hopefully do more tests. They did blood work and a cat scan of my head. And put me on IV fluids and pain medication. Hopefully it goes away or they figure out what it is so they can help me. Happy Anniversary to all of you! You are all very much great friends and I wish I could see you more often. We are all going to make our goals! I have too if it kills me. Ok, I took my pain meds and I am getting sleepy. I will chat with you all later. Love, Angie

Hi I am Angie and I had the Lapband done a year ago. Dr. B is my surgeon and you will love him! Diane is his dietician that he uses and she is in his office with him. They share the office to make it easier on the patients. But with you two hours away that may cause a problem. After your surgery you will see her once a month so you may be able to do that??? I live an hour away from Dr. B and I used different Doctors for the different tests that they needed and had them faxed over to him. I did use the psyc people that he recommended. Let them know your situation and how far you are. Use your Primary Care Doctor to help you with all your tests and blood work. Let me know if you have anymore questions. I am glad you are about to start this journey with us! You should come on out to our Pool Party this August and meet all of us. IT's a good time! Good Luck! Angie

Awesome Dianne! I am so happy for you! It is very onedurful!!!! I did it! I got my second fill. I am on liquids for three days and mushies for three more. I have gained 5 pounds!!!!!:faint: So, I am on a mission to lose those 5 pounds through this liquid faze and hopefully get on track to losing 2 pounds a week. I need to start exercising more. Dr. Bauman said this morning only I can change this. Putting the saline in the band isnt going to help me lose the weight. I have to eat right, exercise, and drink plenty of fluids to make this happen. He said I was doing so well and I need to get back on track. He is such a great doctor. I really enjoy seeing him. Wish me luck! I am on a mission ladies!! woot! Angie

Good Luck Skribby! I am from the Southside of Va. I live in SC though. I miss it there. Virginia rocks! Angie

I am excited about the mashed cauliflower! I have always wanted to try it but I have been afraid too. I will try yours and I am sure it will be good. Angie

Well cool, We are getting filled on the same day! I get filled at 8:15 in the morning. We get to have liquids and mushies at the same time. :clap2:

You go girl! lol That PBing stuff isnt fun! I don't like it and stay away from it at all costs. But welcome to the wonderful world of the band. Angie

Yay! I am approved for my second fill and hopefully will have it scheduled for next week? I so need it. I am eating like a pig and need to get some restriction. I just hope I dont get to filled up. :faint: Angie

I am scheduled for next Friday the 21st at 8:15 in the morning!! WOOT!!! I am so happy, I cant wait to start my journey again. Wish me luck girls!!! Angie

Aug 5th is two days before they start back school! WOOT! We had a great time tonight! Wish you were there Kim. We missed you. I enjoyed the dinner and everyone's company. It was great. Kathy, thank you sooo much for helping with the girls. I needed a small break! And thanks for blocking the view while I tried on my pants. lol That was a hoot. Can't believe I did that??? lol Ok I am off of here to get these children settled down from all their loud music and dancing! TTYL! Thanks for the company again girls! Love you! Angie

Wow, you are pretty talented! You're on the computer and in the shower! LOL See you there! Getting ready to leave now its 6:55! Hold me 4 seats! Angie

Pool Party on the 5th sounds great. I may still have the boys so they would have to come as well. See you all in a couple of hours. Angie

Awww, that sounds awesome! Count me in for Tuesday!!! The girls love to come to those things anyways. lol And I will be able to afford it too. My friend has his kids here from Maine and is paying me for watching them. WOOT! Gotta love your friends. So Tuesday at 7:15????? Angie

WOOT KAREN! Way to go girl!!! Keep up the great work. Keep that Newbie attitude! Angie

You are welcome Julie! Hang in there girl it will work. I was one of the lucky ones I guess about the fill department. I didn't have one until six months out. I know its crazy but I was doing so well and losing weight constantly that I just thought if I am loosing then why get one? Well that day came to a skreeching hault and I havent lost since December. I am going to get another fill soon though. Hopefully Julie you will keep that sensation of being full and can see where you are and know when the time is right to get a fill. We are here for you. Angie

Hello Everyone! I had an awesome weekend! Dan took the girls up to Va from Friday to Tuesday so I had a little bit of fun but missed my babies!!! I went out on the boat with my friends, and then went to a party with other friends, and I got to see our sweet Karen at her house. It was a good time. Then my babies got home and we went to a friends house and watched fireworks on the lake! Awesome time!!! Life is grand! :grouphug: Kim, I may want to get up with you Friday if I can make it work. Got to check on a couple of things and I will get back with you. I would love to see you and I will have three girls with me so... watch out! :eek: Not sure where to find those drinks. I remember Melissa talking about them. Hey, Karen is looking awesome. She is doing so good. Keep it up Karen! Hi Dianne!!!! Sorry to hear you can't get to onederland! You will make it believe me. You look fantabulous! Keep it up! Me on the other hand I am having a hard time with not eating so much crap! It's like food is on the mind constantly. I can't stand it. I am waiting on Dr. B to get back to me for another fill and start getting back on track here. Ok, I need to go. Girls are getting into things. So tty!!! Love you all, Angie

Julie, It takes time for the weight to come off. Don't think that since you got the band the weight is going to just drop off of you. This is a tool and we need to use it as such. We need to work with it. You are taking the right step in going to the gym. That will help you tremendously. Just make sure you are eating the right things and exercising and you should start to notice a difference. You can do this! Angie

Hello Everyone, Today is my one year Bandiversary and what a year it has been? I have lost 50 pounds and lost my husband all in the same time frame? <sigh> I miss him but to tell you the truth I think this was the best for both of us. I am happy I have lost what I have and I did all that in the first six months. But after that its been a very slow going. I need to get a fill and need to focus on my health again. I am motivated to do this and will start soon. Cant think of any NSv's right now but will think about it and maybe post back. I am off to bed! Good night! Angie

Oh yeah those dogs were a hoot. I enjoyed watching them. Bear crashed when she got in the house and slept for about 3 hours. She really enjoyed herself and would like to see merlin again. lol Thanks again Karen. This weekend was a blast!! I needed it! WOOT! Angie

Karen, Thank you so very much for having me over and feeding me lunch. I really enjoyed it and getting in the pool. It was rather refreshing. You need to give me a ring so we can chat. TTYL!!!!! Angie
