  1. I would love to go although I don't know anyone that would be there. Is there ever anything in the Midwest (Michigan) area? Brenda
  2. I know it had to be Divine Intervention for me because nothing else has worked and I was led to this right after my son-in-law passed away. I have had a few struggles in the past few months with some plateauing but some my fault too. I am so happy I had this surgery!! Brenda
  3. Melissa have you decided yet. Congrats on your surgery Baycity how are you doing??? You too Casscity congrats to you both. Bren
  4. Yes that is exactly what is happening to me. I have not had a fill yet. I go next Monday and I am thinking I might get a fill this time. I think I have only lost about 5 pounds this time. Looking forward to going to the doc and getting weighed on the 9th. I will let you know. Bren
  5. I hear ya Kan and when you get as old as I am it is really easy to pack it on!!! I am thrilled with my band!! You are doing great!! Bren
  6. Thanks Kan I am learning to be patient. In the past, it has not been my best virtue either. I am not allowing myself to get frustrated or upset with this slow weight loss lately. I think I am ready for my first fill here. I will see the doc on the 9th. Bren :-)
