Hi Beth,

I was just wondering if u have Dr. Bautista? I am in Colonial Heights, VA. I hope you have a great experience. Best wishes. -Donita

What are you up to? You must be working really hard. Hope you are working your butt off.lol

Hey Sweetie,

Are you still doing well? I haven't lost a lb still. I have a doctor apt. on the 28th I think. Then I might get another fill a few weeks after that. I just got a job as a server at a place 15 minutes from here. I am excited. I need something to do. I am so tired all of the time, because I am not doing anything. Write if you get a chance. Missing you.-Donita

I was just reading about your inspirational blog in cyber space. I love your sense of humor. Keep up the good work.

Hey Skinny!

10 LBS. is awesome. You will need VANITY lights now. lol. I am 90 percent settled. I am STUCK. I haven't lost a lb. since our anniversary on the 13th of September. I still am shrinking, becasue I can fit into a size 12 with a muffin top.lol Now when I see your picture up here and you are smiling I feel it is real. Keep up the great work. -Donita

Hi there,

Just checking in. Are you tall and skinny yet? lol I am stuck. I haven't lost in 2 weeks. I am down 43 lbs, which I am happy with every one, but I'd like more. Keep me posted.-Donita

Hey Girl,

I am just checking in. I haven't lost a thing. How about you? Enjoying the new house. 99 percent settled...you? Talk to you soon. -Donita

I am soooo sorry. I had to gain from 208 to 230 to qualify. I did it in onlly in a few weeks (Christmas). It wasn't too hard. I know that it seems silly to do. I think Jenny Craig is awesome. If it helps at all, the band is tough. I miss food!!! I am proud of you for your weight loss. That is really great. I am not even close to losing those numbers in a week. Keep trying my friend. -Donita

Hi there,

Just wondering if you were ever banded and if so are you well?

Thank you for your nice comment. U have a friend having gastric bypass on the same day as your surgery, so I am sure I will think of you, Best wishes. Are you on the 2 week pre-op diet?

Oh my goodness! You look awesome! I haven't seen your ticker. How much are you down? I am down 42 so far. I got my first fill yesterday. two and a half months later. Ughhh! ttyl little sister.

Hi there! I think we must have been babded about the same time. I was banded on the 3rd of July. I just got my first fill today. I am down 42 lbs. how are you doing?

Thank you for the sweet comment. Congrats on being a newly wed.

Hey Kid

I have lived in the stone ages...no computer. We closed on our house on the 15th and you on the 22nd. Too cool. Are you still pending? I am down 42 lbs. I had my first fill today. I was unfilled August 12th or so, and then my referral ran out and I couldn't get it until today. It stung less than a bee sting. The Barium was kind of gross. It only took like 1-2 minutes. The problem was when they put the saline in, i was too tight and then I was too lose when she adjusted it. I am still too loose, but for now it is better than zero like I was. Take care and write soon. -Donita

Hey kiddo,

How are you and baby girl doing? Hope all is well.

Welcome. Are you banded yet? I am 5 weeks out. Hope you are well.

Oh man am I going blind at 41? I saw the car, and never looked in front of it. NICE GARAGE!!! lol

Your new house it awesome. What is the structure to the right? Did you build a garage? I am so excited for you. Ours looks really tiny, but it has 4 bedrooms, 1 and a half baths, dining room, living room and family room. The best part of it is we got it for $31,000 less than we sold it for 3 years ago like I said. You never said if you were at least a BMI of 35 or not? Do you have ANY co-morbidities? Thank you for the birthday wishes! Nite. -Donita

Thank you for your comments on my blog. I wish I felt better, but maybe in the morning when I get to my appoinment she can tell what I did wrong and if it is going to heal itself. Are you noticing more restriction now?

Did you do better after your second fill?

Hey little one! I see we have lost the same amount! I am so proud of both of us. You feeling good? I think I might have caused my band to slip. Hurting pretty good.

Oh I forgot. You asked about a fill. I haven't received one yet and probably won't for a while. I have lost 35 lbs so far and as long as I am doing so well, I probably won't get a fill. I am still doing three miles a day and the band has helped some with my portion control, but it is still willpower that is getting it done. Feeling hunger pains lately. My hubby says I have over eaten and eaten too quickly lately. Gotta do better!

Hi there! We are getting our new house tomorrow. My birthday is today, so I think of it as my present. We bought this same house when we first got here three years ago on our anniversary. We loved it, but we got housing and sold it six weeks later and made $20,000. We just bought it from the bank that repoed it for $11,000 less than we did the first time. God is great. Are you just staying in town or did you get a new duty station? I hope the appeal goes smoothly. We had to appeal getting our house. They said our debt to income was 106% instead of 45 like they wanted it, but I fought the VA and won. They had us still owning a rental property and didn't include all of my husband's income. You need to look for evry loophole you can find. Read the fine print. I am sorry you are working so hard. Will it slow down soon? Take care kiddo -Donita

Hi there. Glad to hear from you. Cute baby. I see we have lost the same amount. GREAT JOB! -Donita

Missing you! Hope you are ok. How is the appeal process going? Did they explain WHY they rejected you? My friend that I think I told you about, had her surgery 2 weeks ago after winning her appeal with Tricare...YOU CAN DO IT!!!
