You are so kicking ass! DONT panic, YOU LOOK MARVELOUS DARLING!

So as I lurk around I notice that I am not the only one whose band has not been so kind to them! I am once again completely unfilled and gaining weight rapidly. For the third time since November i've battle severe GERD and lost:cursing:. The only positive thing was my band hasnt slipped and no erosion is apparent. Yippee! This is such a rollercoaster I have been on that I stayed away because I was tired of crying, feeling sorry for myself, and just didnt want to seem like a failure. Anywhoo, my appt for a fill is not until APRIL 10 and i dont know what i will weigh by then. Im terrified:confused: I love my band but it doesnt love me!

HI Gibson!!!!! Hi all, Well let me just say I had a fill Nov 14 and a long talk with my doc who gave a stern talking to. Needless to say I have recommitted myself to this entire process and the clouds of depression are starting to clear(thank GOD). I dont know if I mentioned it here before but I have started taking a yoga/pilates class and its hard as all hell but I feel better. I am focusing on the weekly class and trying to do some practice at home. Thank you ladies for all the support! Gibs PM me

I live in NYC so I would love to attend. I dont drive so if anyone is driving from NYC and wouldnt mind bringing me along that would be great...I have gas money, lol

Hi all, I havent been here in a very long time because of DEPRESSION!!!! I was losing at a steady pace until my gallbladder went "belly-up" in May and had to be removed and i had to have a total unfill, grr! Well lets just say I went from steady loss to slow loser to plateaued to GAINING! I was so depressed I ate and canceled my fill appts because I didnt want my doctor to know I had gained weight. So i wallowed in self pity for about 2 months! I finally called him and made a fill appt(TIME TO FACE THE MUSIC) for Friday at 1pm. Now that I have come back to LBT and actually admitted my gain I guess I can get back on the "train" and start losing again. Thanks for reading and I hoped your not disappointed in me. Teary-eyed but hopefull

Dr. Vine did the surgery with and Dr Jacob came in later (he was finishing a surgery when they started mine)

As of June 20th, my 4 month Bandiversary, I have lost 36 pounds. I have had 3 fills, 4.5ccs in a 10 cc band. Unfortunately my band is totally empty because of the gallbladder surgery I had in May. I get a fill July 11 and its taking too long to get here!

Thank you Gibs! I will try but it takes me forever to post pictures. I dont know why I cant remember how to keep them from being GINORMOUS :confused2:. I have to post it several times before its right, lol

The between size thing is a pain in the butt! Thats were I sit now. I cant fit the clothes in lane bryant and the like but New York and co I have to by a 16 instead the 12 I am wearing in Ashley stewart?!? I cant keep up with all the stores and sizes I wear in them? ERGHH! Great problem to have though :ohmy:

Thank you everyone for the compliments! My son is a Special needs child and it was a long road getting to and passing the sixth grade(hes 13). I was just so proud of him I could burst:biggrin:! Mhazelrigg- We were in a restaurant and I was reprimanding him about something and the waitress came over and said " What would your mother say about you yelling at him like that!!?" I said, "This is my son I can talk to him how I please." She was Shocked! LMAO:lol:

Just wanted to share a recent picture of my son and I...Hope everyone is doing well!!!!!!

RSG, your paintings are wonderful! I am a true lover of lilies (my next tattoo will be lilies) Care to draw me up some? lol Keep up the good work

Thank you everyone! Im now 9 days post op and i still cant sit in a chair for to long without pain! I can say however that i am much better since the last time i was here. How are all my DOUBLE V's doing ?

Not feeling great but much better than last week. I can not have a fill for another 2 weeks so that sucks Thanks! I wish I would have known that cause i would have definetly asked doctor to just take it out now so I wouldnt have to worry about it later! I received flowers from my job so thats done! You can still send balloons...lol:thumbup: My son is 13 so hes a big help. Thanks for the well wishes.
