Here I was trying to be serious, and actually offer some advice...

About your gagging... are you eating really late at night? When I was pregnant and would eat late, I would wake up in the middle of the night gagging... certain foods did it to me.

12 years old? WOW, that is so awesome! I don't know her, but she has my respect also!!!

HOLY COW BATMAN!!! You aren't banded??? Where the heck have I been!!! You do have great advice! ?!!?!?!?! LooK out!!! ANYONE can give advice!!! Thanks Wheetsin!!!!

Whoever wants to list something GREAT about today... DO IT HERE!!! (with all the recent tension, I want a list of HAPPY chit to read) Heather's Happy Thought~ I feel like I could run circles around the world, I am in a size 20 jeans... and I have SO much energy since I have been working out!!!!

BOASTING??? Wait till I get to 50 pounds... I might actually boast!!! You are doing an awesome job and this is a GREAT thread!!! Keep up the great work!!!!

:clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :rockon: :rockon: :nod: I couldn't have put it in better words myself!!! I am trying to answer some of the same questions... NONE of us are medical professionals... (they were all scared away) Everything Susan said is what I have been thinking and wanting to say... I ACCEPT THOSE THAT WANT TO LEAVE, AND I AM HERE TO HELP ANYONE THAT WANTS TO STAY!!!

I didn't read through all of the posts but my band will hold 4 cc and currently I have 2.7cc. I am going for a fill on Thurs. I have some restriction but not enough. This will be my 2nd fill.

I totally agree with this!!!

Crystal, I say this for a lot of us, when I say I really hope they can get your Cushing's taken care of. I am not sure what steps must be taken, but I wish you a well road ahead!

I am bothered by everyone leaving or taking a break... or getting their feelings hurt. I am bothered that people are getting upset at "newbies" for trying to help others with the rules. Like "newbies" are dumb just because they haven't had the band for 18 mths or more??? A LOT of the people that are offering advice are offering what they have been told by their Dr.... Just what is bothering me these days... So sad that people are taking everything so hard. I really try not to. Just my 2 cents!!!

I thought I posted this earlier... but something happened... The jeans are Rockies and they have NO stretch!!!!

WOW, all I can say is WOW!

So how did he get you last night that you almost peed your pants?

Just a heads up... my Dr. told us to not drink SlimFast... not sure why... I think the main importance is to get a Protein drink. I LOVE the Atkins shakes!!! Good Luck with everything!!!!

Amen to that!!! My thoughts exactly... TommyO made a great point also!

You guys are going to have to tie me down when I get into an 18!

I don't get it at all. I was reading thru another post about the few that are making everyone leave... and I don't get it... Buck up and tell that person their behavior is inappropriate and ask them to leave or stay away from their posts. There are a few threads that I take no interest in at all and I just skip over them. I don't get it either... I know that some people have been debating things... but I don't think it is bad enough to walk away.... You don't have to read it. Maybe one of the ones that is leaving will post in here and tell us the "real" reasons they want to get out???? I do feel bad that they think they have to leave tho.

2 things pop into my head... 1. Your old port always had a slow leak, therefore you never really had the full 2.5? OR 2. You might have other complications... erosion, slip???? I would say it sounds more like you just have too tight of a fill, but I am sure the veteran bandsters would tell you to get an endoscopy to check for erosion or any other problems. What does your Dr. think? Your weightloss is just great!!! Sounds like you have had a long road of it and you shouldn't be so tightly filled...

I have no "intentions" of making this thread have adult content... but my threads usually turn that way so I put the warning X's up for those who don't already know me.... (sad that I have to start my thread off with a disclaimer!) N-E-WAYS!!! Guess what guys and gals???? I am wearing a size 20, yes, I said SIZE 20 jeans right now!!!! :banana :Banane20: :banana I SERIOUSLY can not believe it!!! I haven't had a size 20 on since my Senior Year of HS!!! (5 years ago) Hooray for me!!!!

Follow me around... I tend to find the naughty ones *evil grin*

Thank goodness... The only thing I could figure out was you could tie it around your neck for some noise????

Cowbells? Don't get it??? Yes I can be ditzy, and I thought I had heard it all... but cowbells? I know what a cowbell looks like, but don't see how that could have helped ya?
