Good luck Erin!! You will do great I'm sure! Just plan on hitting a few sales this weekend!! Patty

I wonder why nobody is ever in the chat room?? I think it would be alot easier to talk that way!

DeLarla, I don't even have a pic on my computer. I do have a scanner, just not sure how to use the dang thing. I will get my daughters help, maybe she will have time for dear old mom this weekend?

Yes Matt, I am. I work in a very busy ER in Kansas City,MO Great job, but I know I will breath alot easier after I lose some of this excess!

Matt, why not switch to your ppo? You might have to wait until enrollment time, but the money you would save would be well worth the few months wait!

would love to know how??? I am a total computer idiot.....may take alot for me to do this! sorry

I am almost 3 weeks post banding. I also stayed one night in the hospital. I did take the prescribed pain medicine twice after coming home, both times at bedtime hoping to make myself comfortable enough to sleep. I sleep on my stomach and had a hard time not doing that, but am now on my tummy once again!! I did not have any gas pain, but I did walk frequently. As far as work goes, I have not returned yet, going to start back next Monday. I am a nurse in a busy emergency room and you never know what or how much I may need to lift. So..I had the time to take off and did! I am very eager to return(my daughter is a freshman this year and keeps me running more than if I were at work) I did play some tennis this week without any problems. Good luck to you!

Thanks for all the advice Cindy, great info!! I am just very eager to continue seeing the scale going in reverse for once! La Madam....didn't I see some great pictures of you in Las Vegas??? I know I will enjoy the support given by this site!!

what is nsv?

Hi Pam, glad to see it wasn't hard to find you here! Made my way in last night! Keep up the good work! Patty

Hello! My name is Patty and I was banded aug 25, 2005. I think I am doing great?? I have lost 19 pounds so far and go for my first fill the 26th of this month. I am really nervous about this, maybe more than the surgery itself....any thoughts to soothe my nerves?
