I did two weeks and I lost alot of weight It was hard. Three weeks of Mushies. I could have done mushies longer.

It shoud hit you any day now. I could not leave the house what went in liquid stayed liquid started Day 7.

Circus Circus is ok .I do not plan on sleeping much anyway. It was the best deal $240 including airfare. Anylapbanders in the area want to meet for lunch or dinner on the strip.

Im going to be going to Vegas Oct 11th-14. Alligaint Air has a buy one get one free air fair. We are staying at Circus Circus. I cannot wait.:clap2: :clap2: Linda :faint: We so need a vacation. :faint: Mike

I may go. I may have to book on my own.I am waiting in my house to sell. If I decided to go is anyone coming through East Texas? Im off I-20 at the 259 exit it goes from I-20 to 59 to Houston to and would love to meet some of you. If hubby does not go I may need a ride.Will pay for gas.

Thank you everyone. Keep it coming.

I am considering laser hair removel. Does it work? Does it hurt??????? What were your results. How many years since you had it?:help:

When we went to Cozumel we rented a car ahead of time $45 .We looked online and book our fun things to do. Much cheaper than booking through the ship.

Anyone coming through East Texas Hwy 259? I be out there with my thumb held out. It is cheaper to get a hotel and leave your car there than it is to park at the cruise lot. Plus you can go a day early and enjoy the city. I go there at least once a year.A nice place to meet is the club at Ramada. The night before the cruise. For the earlybirds. I may come I have not decided yet.They have shuttles that run from the Houston airport. I work for a pool company and June is our busy time of year.

LOL You go

You saw you shadow while standing in a group of skinny people and could not RECKON EYES it.

Age 43 I was 218 now 160 and I need a tummy tuck. I am worried about another surgery.If my tummy was gone I would be a size 10 now size 14. Doctor told me to stop at 150 if I had a tummy tuck I would be there. I heard the exercise ball helps tone and tighten. Im skinny everywhere but my stomach and I look funny. But Hey Im healthy and I feel GREAT My blood work came back perfecto. A1C 6.1

Both me and my daughter got turned down three times.BCBS. After three times the insurance company may have to go before the insurance board for a review. Make sure you have done everything right to get approved. Keep notes Names, dates and times of who you have talked to.Very important. I called and ask for a supervisor and she helped me get approved. We saw a nutritionist for a year once every three months. I was banded in December and Mandy March.

Wow that is great.Have you had a pretty steady weight loss? I see you have lost seventy-nine pounds. I have been stuck at 165 for almost three months. I cannot buy the body bug because I am paying for college for my daughter. She has the band to. She has lost about 30 since March.The last thirty pounds is a B---- You go girl

I have got rid of somethings of free cycle.I have yet to get anything I need just yet. I am looking for college books for my daughter. Even if I get one that saves me a hundred bucks. I have found if I put it out for trash someone will come by and pick it up.So if they do not show up someone else will.

Both Mandy and I got turned down three times.You have to keep appealing after the third turn down go before the insurace board. They will approve alot of times then. I was told that if they are found in the wrong they have to pay fines.They do not like to go before the insurance board.

It was hard for us being over weight. We still struggle every day with over eating.I ate to much today. If you want to binge you will binge even with the band. It is just a Tool to help you. It does NOT stop you from over eating.You have to stop your self. It tells you you have had enough. But it is up to you not to go past that point. For me I saw weight loss for the first time with my band. I thought can really do this. Some days are hard some easy. Just like AA. I have to tell my self I will not overeat today no matter how stressed I get. When you do not have the band it seems like you can diet for months and lose two pounds. The band is a tool that keeps you from being hungery all the time. There is eating because you are hungry and then there is head hunger. It will not help head hunger.Only you can work threw the head issues.I do not mean to sound judgemental. We all have some kind of eating disorder. Good luck to you. I hope you find peace and health.

Thank you for all of your suggestions.I not giving up.

Mandy is not doing so great either 27 lbs since March 23rd. 1 CC in her band. Should she be doing better that this??

:help: I do not mean to sound ungreatfull. I started at 218 in December. I have 2 cc in my band and I the scale is not moving. He told me I would lose to about 165 .(I told him 130 was more like it) 165 and that is where I am stuck. Almost two months now. No matter what I eat what I change. How much I exercise.How much water I drink. I am still fat. I am still on insulin. Am I going to have to starve myself to lose the last 35 lbs? I plan to lose 30-35 more and have a tummy tuck and breast lift.
