Trying this again.... pics before surgery, 6 months and a little over a year... Still would love to lose another 20 but.... Need to get my butt excercising... With my 2 and 4 year old boys it is really difficult to fit it all in... not to mention I hate it... thanks and conrads to all our crazy 8's... Maggie.

Hey guys... back to my old banded self... YEAH!!! the replacement of the port was super easy. I didn't even need general anesthesia.. just lots of local... Had my first fill last week and I am on the way to watching the scale go down again. Yes, I did gain back 10 lbs during my 4 week "off" time... Wow, I ate everything I could, and you know a few bites were usually enough. I could of really gone crazy but tried to control myself. still have about 25 lbs to go.. maggie

:cry_smile:Ok... best One-Year Anniversary .... Not Quite. I woke up 1 week ago Saturday with absolutely no restriction.. I actually was at a county fair and could eat fried dough.. I knew immediately something was way wrong. After seeing my Surgeons' associate.. he said I had 2cc instead of the orginal 6.75.. No wonder I could eat a Big Mac if I wanted. Well, I will call and speak to my surgeon on Tuesday when he is back from his vacation.. They think I have a SLOW leak near the post site.. SLOW, my ass.. the next morning I could eat everything again.. I need to try and keep this monster at bay till I get this fixed or I could gain ALL my weight back. Cookies are the devil.. Ice Cream is the devil... Junk food is the devil... wish me luck all, I will keep you posted. Maggie:mad:

thanks for the kind words.. keep up the good work .. you too!!. August bandster ROCK!! by the way I am from Newburgh, New York.. travel through on your bike??? let me know. maggie

I am officially now OVERWEIGHT... I am NOT OBESE anymore... Yeah baby... It has been years since I could say that... Just wanted to brag a little bit... maggie:thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:

Well, you got me to reply also.. I seem to be still trugging along also. Down 50 lbs. Still want to lose some more but I am so excited about my journey so far. I would never be at this weight without the band... I would do it all over in a second... thanx to all the august 07 peeps, maggie

Hi all.. The scale finally moved... I joined Weight Watchers on Thursday. I think that was it. I am not quite sure yet.. but, I think this might be the trick. I was not eating enough.. How can that be??? ha ha ha. maggie.:w00t:

Ok... you all "talked" me into it. I am gonna start logging. I have been cheating alot... the scale hasn't moved in 3 months. boy oh boy. The summer is coming and I want to look good. What was I thinking? maggie:confused:

You really need to have an adjustment... You are simply too tight.. Been there done that.. If you can't get solids down, you are going to be hungrier because the food is just gonna slip through faster... call your Doctor please... :laugh:

Well, Its been 6 months and over 40 lbs.. thanks for all your posts and encouragement.. It helps more than you know, Maggie

hey all. I read everyday, but never post. You are all so encouraging. Keep up the good work. I had my 5th fill today. 6ccish in a 10cc band. I hope this is it. my "sweet spot". Keep your fingers crossed, I can't wait to Onedurful.... 12 lbs to go.

I've lost a cinder block.. You ever try to move one of those... god, no wonder I feel lighter.. thanks. that is funny.. happy holidays all, magnetismchik
