hi Kim,

today is my 1 year anniversary. my recovery was amazing, as long as you follow your doctors orders. it was also recommended to me to get up and walk asap, which I did. I believe that was the best recommendation.

I didn't start having problems with slimming or vomiting until after my fills. of course I didn't follow the rules and thought I could eat everything. I had a slight unfill about a month ago and am enjoying my food way too much, so I will have a new fill in Jan. Dr. Corian is awesome and has been great.

I had many regrets the first 2 months. asking myself what that hell did I do, but now a year later and 70 Pd's lighter I'm happy I had the surgery. only you can make this decision. good luck to the new you!

Hi Emilia,

WoW! 105 pds, girl that is fantastic.

how are you doing? how much fill do you have now.

its has been a constant struggle for me. I have lost no weight, it really frustrating. I have an appt. in August for a fill. I currently at 3 cc's and will ask for .5 I hope it gets me back on track.

I am your happy for you. damn 105 pds. you go girl

Hi Debbie, how have you've been doing. I don't know if this mess. will reach you, I see my last one back in April, but I don't see the one sent to you in June.

I know you were scheduled for surgery toward the end of June, did everything go well.

How has the journey been for you?

I have been stuck for the last 3 months, my May appt was canceled and I delayed rescheduling my fill. I have an appt in August. ugh! I don't know what to do, I am still walking my 2 miles 4-5 days a week, but have seen no weight loss. I did lose inches and am officially in a size 20, but I am getting impatient I want to see the scale go down

thats just around the corner. June the 23nd. how exciting.

has your daughter had her baby?

me enjoy summer, no way! the sun and I just don't get along.

we did go to Pine Crest this week-end. it was freezing, I thought I was going to freeze to death. we went hiking up to the damn. last year I completed to whole hike weighing in at close to 300, I will do it again this summer.

you can find pictures under general questions? I just was just on that site, they are all an inspiration to me.

I logged my before and after on albums, but my pictures are blocked to the public and I don't know how to unblock them

I have been struggling with my last fill, have problems with food and sliming (ugh)I have to work on my chewing. the weight loss has slowed down, I trying to get my lazy butt back to walking, I really lagging, I know excercise is the key to losing weight, I just been going to so mcuh these last couple of months.

my goal is to be at 199 by Dec. 26. my 1 year anniversary. got about 38 lbs to go.

I lost my mother 5/21. and just recently been back on-line.

my faith in Jesus has kept me going.

keep me posted on your progress, have you started your Prue-op diet, try your hardest to stick to it. try to walk everyday, even if for only 5/10 mins. practice your chewing now, make it a habit.

talk to you soon

Sandy

Hi Debbie, just saw your message, are you talking about the exorcist slime episode I had. I still laugh out loud about it. I was able to swallow my capsules today, so I'm happy about that.

congratulation are your decision to have lap band, when will you be having your surgery. there are actually quite a few people on this site that were banded by Dr. C. I really adore him, he is so sweet and his staff is very encouraging. I live in Delhi. It would be great for all of us to chat or even get together every few months for support.

I think I reached my peak weight loss and am struggling with hunger, its nothing compared to before banding, but am losing weight slowly. I have a doctor's appointment on the 30th and will most likely get a small fill. I don't want to go to tight, basically I can eat everything in moderation and want to continue to enjoy food. and of course I dont want the Linda Blair espisode to happen again (gag) ask me anything and everything and I will happy to talk to you.

practice chewing, excersize and drink plenty of water. I started this before surgery and I know this help me recovery so quickly.

Sandy
