It does show the groups you are in.

Ok, I'm not going to join the LB group on myspace.com. I'm sorry - most people know I had the surgery but I am still in the band closet with a few people and I'm not ready to come out yet. SORRY! But I'm so happy to have all you guys as myspace friends!

I love how I have all these myspace friends now from LBT!!!

someone posted about this a few days ago - I cant tolerate carbonation so I dont do beer, but bring on the wine, margaritas, comsos, etc. I drink once a week, 2-3 drinks in one night, I know it's empty calories but I would rather drink than have a dessert and I also just don't care - I'm a generally good bandster but I won't give up the alcohol and if that means slower weight loss than so be it.

Telly = to post pics on comments the code is <*img src*=*www.......com*> when you find a pic on the net left click on it and hit properties and copy the URL address into the code. Take out the stars - I had to put them in there for the code to show up on this board.

You forgot one Telly - Nana/ Plunder Bunny looks like Alicia Silverstone!

Ok, Telly is my new best friend! Her comments make me feel like a million bucks.... now can you please teach my husband to tell me stuff like that more often! (He's a wonderful man and I love him to death but he is definatley not Mr. Communicate My Feelings! lol)

Dr. Barker in Dallas - $12,600 - you have to ask for that rate and get it done at Vista Hospital to get that rate - Dr. Barker only goes to Vista once a month or so.

potatoes are IFFY

wow - I havent that since high school when people said I looked like CatWoman - You just took me back 10+ years with that comment! I will be happy all day now!

looking good Puddin Pie!!!

YEAH!!!!!!!!! congrats!

I had 10 days of burping after a fill once and I had to go get some fill removed - nothing was wrong but I was TIRED of burping. I suspect you're just a little tighter b/c of time of the months, something you are inflamed your tummy, or dehydration and the surge of tightness is causing the burping. Probably nothing to worry about - I have gone thru many exessive burping spells since being banded.

I drank a margarita like 3 weeks after surgery. My doc has no restrictions on drinks (other than avoid high calorie drinks generally). My doc even said I could have carbonation after 5 weeks but I cannot tolerate carbonation at all and now I've gone so long without it I can't even stand the way carbonated drinks taste. Anyways, I drink margaritas and cosmoplitans and wine all the time! Spare me the lectures on how it's high calorie - I'd rather drink than eat dessert and if anyone out there can get through law school without drinking on the weekend I'd love to know HOW!!!! I say CHEERS and happy drinking - just remember, as with everything in life, "in moderation"!

I weighed 245 when I got banded. I went to Vegas a few months before that and fit in the seat just fine. You'll be fine!

Thanks - ya'll are so sweet and make me feel good! Vickie - that top is either a 22/24 or 18/20 - Private message me your address and I'll send it to you! I got it at Lane Bryant and is is super cute. I only wore it twice. It can be like the LBT traveling pants - we'll send it on after we "under"grow it! Seriously I will send it to you if you give me your address. (just went and tried it on and it doesn't fit anymore - rather give it to you then Goodwill!)

I really can't stand Dr Maese but I have to go to him b/c my insurance pays for it there b/c he has flouro. I am trying to find another place to get fills. I think he is arrogant, obnoxious - he lectures you if you arent losing weight as fast as other people, fills me up SO tight even though I told him and my band doc says I should get fills .2 ccs at a time. I could go on and on but basically I don't like him at all and he shares all your info - he lines the bandtsers up in the hallway like a herd of cattle and disucssed you weight with the other people! Anyways, I guess he charges 100 per fill for cash - I pay a 30 co-pay for my insuramce. Good luck!

It's my 6 month bandiversary so I thought I'd update with pictures. I don't think I look that much different in the pictures, but I feel better and my pre-surgery clothes don't fit! Can't wait to see how I look when I lose all the weight and get some plastic surgery! Thanks for all or your support - couldn't have done this without you guys to cheer me on and answer all my questions! THANK YOU ALL!!!

It's my 6 month bandiversary. Everything is going well. I've lost exactly 40 lbs in 6 months, so I've lost 40 lbs in 30 weeks (or 1.3 lbs per week). Anyways, still got alot of work to do - need to eat better and exercise more but I'm happy to have 40 lbs gone forever and I feel better than I've felt in years!

could i be more jealous? you look SO great!

If a word in the dictionary was misspelled, how would anyone know?
