Way to go bond girl !!!!!! I was at 204 this morning and can't wait to join you in the under 200 club !!! You have had great success. be proud of yourself

Thanks penni for fixing my pictures ! Not the best one of my kids, but the only one on hand ! The dog on the left is a pug and on the right is a maltese

Go Kaysar !!! He's Smokin'......

can someone help me make my kids NOT look like giants???

I call this one animal farm. I hope it works...

I am 39yo, married with three awesome kids. I work 24 hours a week as a psychiatric social worker. My husband is a nurse and took great care of me when I had my surgery. We have a pug named Lou and a cat named JP. Busy Busy house. My secret confession is that I still watch the Real World, I guess you can say I'm addicted. All sorts of reality tv.......... GO RED SOX !

Congrats !!!!You have done so well !!!!!

Kylie, so glad to hear you are doing well !!! Congratulations. Here's to a whole new you !!

Good Men Like Alotta Can !!! ( I took poetic license with this one) bubbcy

Nope, I don't think 3 weeks is too early at all. I was banded 5/23 and was filled two weeks later, then four, then six. I am up to 2.3 cc's in a 4cc band. Sounds like you are doing great ! 24 pounds in such a short period of time ! Get the fill-you will be happy you did !

You gop scottygyrl !!! I second that !!Take those remarks as compliments !

Thanks for all the info. Welcome aboard. So nice to have you here !!

just curious, but why would the Lap Band cost MORE than gastric bypass? You would think the gastric bypass is much more complicated

how do u access????????????

There's a chat room????????????????????

Wow. That is really rude !! You absolutely should know. You need to let them know it is not an option and to tell you NOW !! I do think it is important. I have never had my doctor not tell me.

ok, that was hysterical !!!!! Did you actually have to identify the contents of the package to the US Postal Service???

ok, I just had to add my "fat story". I was at DisneyWorld with the kids and we were standing in line with my 3 kids (then 8, 7, and 3 year olds). Myoldest said, in a rather loud voice "MOM, I don't think you will fit on this ride". To this day, I have a fear the bars on rides will not go down !!

Kellie, Looks great. Thanks for taking the time and helping others out ! You seem so dedicated to this whole process. Good Luck to you and all the Bandsters out there.

What is a "low profile" port?

Thanks so much ! I haven't travelled since I received my band (May 23) and am planning on doing so hopefully soon. I have this fear I will set off all sorts of alarms at the airport !!!! I really don't want to go into my whole Lap-Band saga with the security guards!

What an inspiration to us all !!!! Thank you for sharing your story !! You look beautiful and should be so proud of yourself. Did you need plastic surgery after the weight loss? I am finding that my skin is not falling back into place.........

I never had a problem with milk, either, but then again, I never drank it in such LARGE quantities !!!!

seppi, I had the same problem. Try lactaid milk. It really helped-a little more expensive, though, but worth it good luck
