I'm scheduled may 21!

Thanks! I'm a little nervous since I paid for my band out of pocket and will be paying for bypass as well.. But hell it's the cost of a new car and my hubby will get ALOT more miles out of me lol

I everyone!! I had lapband in June of 2008 and did awesome.. Lost all my weight and up until 6 months ago did great..I even had a tummy tuck, thigh lift and breast lift with augmentation..I am now Having major issues with my band and gained 60 pounds but I am getting my band removed and revision to bypass on May 21! So excited and nervous!!!

Thanks so much, sorry you are struggling but that is the good news of the band can tweak when we need to! I'm going to post some new pics

I found them in freezer section of my grocery store next to pie shells. I do use wanton wrappers to make mini pizza (spray with cooking spray, put on tastefully simple garlic bread seasoning, a piece of pepperoni and some mozz or parm and bake .. Totally satisfies my pizza craving.. I can hardly wait to have my mini tuna melts tomorrow lol

Since I haven't eaten bread since I was banded in 2008 I have had a major craving for a tuna melt. I came up with this 3 days and I have eaten 4 for lunch and dinner every day since then lol. Tuna melt cups Mini phyllo tart shells (Athena's) Tuna Light mayo American cheese Just make tuna salad fill cups and put 1/4 slice of American cheese on top and broil.. So yummy and satisfies my tuna melt craving. The shells are 25 calories each so total of 100 calories for shells but well worth it!

I have been banded since June 2008 and I have had no complications at all! I do follow band rules (no bread,pasta,rice or carbonated beverages).. I was 305 then now I am 165

Well hello Junies!!! It's almost our 6 year bandiversary! I am doing great. I am the smallest I have ever been, 158 and wearing size 8 jeans. Getting a full in November really made the difference. I knew I would struggle through the holidays. I hope all is well!!!

Hi everyone! I am doing great! I lost the 15 that had creeped back on, we bought our dream home on new years eve and so far the new year has been amazing! I hope you are all doing great too?

Hello junies! Wow it has been forever! I am doing great! I have put on 10 pounds but still feel awesome! I will try to post some updated pics. I do find myself wishing I had gone the bypass route.. Anyone else feel that way?

@great, we were planning on moving to hawaii until they had two tsunamis. They were small but realized the southern states were a better option. We are waiting until our daughters graduate from college. I love my new body and would do it again in a heartbeat! I am a huge advocate for plastic surgery.. the money was the best money i have ever spent! Congrats on becoming a grandma! That is awesome! @lucky sorry to hear of your many trials. I hope things get better from here on out. @vz and apples so great to hear from you all! Xoxo

Hey everyone.. I just wanted to give an update since it has been a while. I am up 20 pounds since my tummy tuck. ugh. I have been through quite a bit since my thigh lift in January. I turned 40, found out I was pregnant, lost the baby and am dealing with my youngest daughter heading off to college. So I am trying to not be to hard on myself. I am going in tomorrow for a fill. I desperately need it. I was doing so great, swimming every day until I found out I was pregnant then I just fell in to my old eating habits and found that I used it as an excuse to eat ice cream every day! I am still "thin" I fit into size 10 jeans but hate that my weight has creeped up. I need to make myself accountable so here I am fessing up.. :confused:

12 more days!!!!!!! wooo hooo! you are almost to the flatlands baby! xoxo

Hello! It has been awhile, I am doing pretty good. I hadn't gotten on a scale in a while and I did about a week ago and bam I had gained 6 pounds!!! Argh just when I think I don't have to worry about my weight anymore. So I realized that I needed to step up my game once again. I started doing lap swimming which has been awesome!! I love it and it doesn't feel like hard excercize. I was building to much muscle with the elliptical the front of my thighs were starting to bulge eek. So I think swimming will help to lean me out. I have a submarine ball to go to on april 10 and my dress is super form fitting. I love it but am hoping I will be a little leaner in it lol. I am actively looking for a job.. starting to get super bored. We still haven't sold our house ugh. Still hoping it will go soon. Other than that same stuff different day.. I hope you are all doing well. xoxo
