Hi Wine Country girl...I live in the wine country also...

Hi Phyl808, I was in the big island last month. we had a wonderful time. I thought about you and wondered where you lived.

Happy birthday...

Hey Baytown I thought you must be in Texas. I used to Live in Clear Lake. We sure loved Texas and all the friends we made. I see you have had a good weight losss congrats and continued sucess in the new year. Sandy Beach

Good Luck...and speedy recovery to you. Welcome to lapband Land.

Nursedeeva...Get your fill I'm sure you will get back on track. I also have the constant fear I will gain my 50 pounds back. You will be fine just review all LBS rules and follow them to the letter those extra 5/7 bls will be gone in no time.

Happy Banavrsery...continued good luck with your weight loss;

Rest easy Monkey...Best Wishes on your Journey. Good luck with your weight loss. Sandy

Hi Carrie, You will notice all the bad rap about going to Mexico is from people that have insurance paying the tab for them. If they had to get into their check book Mexico would look a little better. I went to Mexico in January. It was a wonderful experience. I had a caring doctor the hospital was spotless. I stayed 2 day in hospital and one night in a hotel. Any time I have a question I call and get a replay the same day. I have gone back for my fills and am proud to report I have lost 50 lbs only 25 to go. Good Luck to you, Sandy

Hi LindaLou..I also had 72 lbs to lose. Thats why I didn't tell anyone about my little rubber band friend. I can do without the comments. Its too bad people are so mean. Why wait untill we have hundreds of pounds to lose. We all want to look good in our skinny jeans. Keep up the good work and good luck. Sandy

Hey Ang1982 I have read some of your post. I had surgery 2 days before you did and we have lost the same 38 pounds. I believe you mentioned that you have a hair pulling problem. I have struggled with that for years. congrats on the good work.

I love your user name. Does the RAVEN part refer to your dark hair? We all understand the Lunatic part. LOL

Hey AudricIan

You look fantastic I have followed your "STORY" and weight loss. We were banded about the same time, and had about the same weight to lose. I also went to Mexico. I have gone back for my fills. Continued good luck. Sandy

Hi I just got my second fill yesterday and feel the same way today. That sick in the gut feeling ugh!!

Aloha Meschla808, I read your many posts on here. I lived on Ohau many years ago, but still visit and try to stay in touch with the many friends I made there. Most are gone now. I worked at the Kahala Hilton Hotel. You gave me insporation to get my band. I went to Mexico for banding in January 2008.

Hi Phyl808, I went to Oahu on a vacation in 1971. I worked at the Kahala Hilton Hotel as a hairdresser. I met and married my husband a coast guard guy. We were married at the officer club at Tripler afb. He also worked for BP oil co. We used to go to Japan to take delivery of Tankers ships. On the way home we always stoped at Maui for a little R and R after the long flight from Japan. We have one daughter we adopted from South Korea she is the love of our life. She looks like a local girl. Nice to talk to you Phyl808 Aloha and Mahalo to you.

PS... we are still married after all this time and as happy as ever..

Do not let people pressure you. You are the one in charge of you. Who cares about the people at work. When you go home from work do you think the give you a thought...no they only want to upset yo don't let then do it.
