I think I'll surprise my husband and dress like a slut tonight. Wait a minute, what's a slut?

The day after my surgery I cooked my husband dinner. I guess it's because I enjoy doing for him. He is so hard working and supportive of me, that I want to show him how much I love him. Of course, the kicker is that he eats what I CAN eat. He hates it and he complains, but I do the grocery shopping so......you know the rest. The only thing he won't change is the milk.

Why not ask your Dr if your gallbladder can be taken out at the same time? I had mine removed before the lapband but only because I had horrible pain and it was about to burst. Good luck!

Wendell, Thank you for this post. Alot of people can benefit from the information you have provided. You look great!

Well, I have only one. I freaked out when I saw it because I had it done during a night of drinking. It's a tribal heart on my left shoulder. To me it looks more like the "Van Halen" symbol which is ok because I like Van Halen.

Just know that we are here for you! Ignorant people are just that IGNORANT!

Hang in there sweetie.

I too will be taking classes one I get closer to goal weight. My husband has had 2 harleys in 3 yrs and is waiting for us to go on a trip together. Oh boy!!! I hope I get the courage and confidence. He said theres nothing like riding a motorcycle!

Good Luck!!!

Both Dr. Cribbins and Dr. Hamn accept Medicare, but no Medicaid.

Sleep Apnea is when you stop breathing in your sleep. I was diagnosed April '05. During my sleep study, I stopped breathing 46 times. The diagnosis saved my life. I know it's a set back for you, but believe me it's to help you. I hope it turns out OK. Let us know how you do. Good Luck sweetie!

Katy Lee, I will be going to see my Dr this afternoon. I will ask and let you know tomorrow. Have a nice Day!

Don't give up! I will be pulling for you!

Thank you for the recipe. I love getting watching Rachel Ray and going on the foodnetwork website.

Hang in there!

You are a strong person just opening up to the forum. If you feel uncomfortable talking to a counselor or therapist, then talk to your primary dr first. Tell them how you are feeling. Maybe they will prescribe something to for to help you get through this. God works in mysterios ways and YOU will start seeing results. Hand in there!! Don't give up! It is work for us to get where we want to be in our weight. I still have about 80 lbs to go. So what! Slowly but surely it will come off. Go walking. If you don't want to walk alone, then check your local mall and ask if they have a walking program. Please...you have alot to offer. I hope you have a nice day. You will be in my thoughts.

I enjoy watching the show. Though I don't have the machines they have to excercise, and the special trainer, I'm encouraged to keep going. To keep losing so that my goal is met.

Good Luck!

Dr Cribbibs is in the same office as my dr. I have met him a couple of times and he seems like a very nice man. Though I am not his patient, he says hi to me. I like his smile. Good Luck!

Well, I don't know which kind of alcoholic beverages we're talking about here, but I love my liquor.

When I went for my 1st fill, my Dr said my port had detached itself and now it was sideways. I had my surgery in March '07, but until two days ago, everything was fine. I have little pain episodes during the day. I was looking and feeling the port area, and I noticed some very small spots. What the *%#@ are they? I have called to make an appt so hopefully I'll get answers.

Welcome to the forum!

Dr. Hamn performed my lapband surgery in March of this year. He did a wonderful job. I feel comfortable calling and asking any question pertaining to my site. I really like him. Good Luck!

Hi, My name is Gloria. I am new to the forum, and I just wanted to say HI! I have been banded since March 2007 and I am glad I found this site. I hope to learn from others on my new journey.

I had my surgery on March 8, 2007. My surgery was done by Dr. Hamn. To date I have lost 44 lbs and counting. Good Luck!
