  1. Started at 329, woke up to 200 this morning!
  2. Well, you look absolutely amazing girl!
  3. You look absolutely amazing! Congratulations on you weightloss!!! How tall are you? Our goals look about the same! :girl_hug:
  4. She obviously doesn't know a thing about the band. It is permanent. Ask any decent lapband surgeon and that is what they will tell you.
  5. My port is 3 or so inches below my bra line. It doesn't bother me there at all. I am not sure why he puts it there, but I can't think of a better place:) Good Luck to you!
  6. Hi Carol, I can only speak from personal experience here... I chose Spivak and so did 5 other co-workers of mine. We are nothing but 100% satisfied with his ethic, surgery skills, bedside manner and professionalism. Spiegel on the other hand... don't even get me started on the way he has treated my friend. I wouldn't let him touch me with a 10 foot pole. I don't care if he has done a million lap bands, that doesn't mean he is the best. Spivak in my opinion is the best lap band surgeon in the U.S., but of course I am kind of partial to him. Spiegel's doings have in fact been referred to as a cattle call, but my friend has said they have improved that. Feel free to PM me with any more questions.
  7. I was persuaded to come back and explain myself guys and gals. I have found another board that is more interesting to me. I WILL check in here from time to time, but I work 50 hour weeks, and don't have time to keep up with 2 different websites. I just can't do it. I am not leaving because of the fighting, but because of another site that I joined that I prefer over this one. And what does blah, blah, blah mean? How rude! I just wanted to tell you guys that I wouldn't be here any more so you wouldn't be wondering. I guess I should have explained myself better. Good Luck to you all!!!

    This is my final post to LBT. I have found support elsewhere. I am not deleting posts, it isn't worth my time. Best of luck to you all!
  9. Yikes!! What have I gotten myself into? This updating thing is CRAZY!!! Would anyone object if we start the posts all over tomorrow... Like, if you check in tomorrow... your name will be on the list? Or is that not right? There are so many that don't check in or haven't been around that my head is spinning. we can leave all of the names on the Honor's page... Sorry, guess I am just not feeling the LBT love....
  10. Baby Girl driving Daddy's truck on Saturday.
  11. yet another tree trimming pic...
  12. Another picture...
  13. Here are the promised pics...
  14. I will try and get everyone updated tomorrow at work. It will be easier for me that way!
  15. I hope that it works out for your daughter. Does she have good restriction?
  16. Could a moderator please lock this thread? Also, members I have created the new club thread... I don't know how to post a link, so if one of you guys can before they lock this one... that would be awesome.
  17. OK all, Check your stats and confirm they are correct... Be patient with me as I am usually only online while at work. Tell me if I do something wrong here....

  19. Welcome to the Gone for Good Club The members of this "club" are like-minded people who want to challenge each other to keep working toward our goal of weight loss and keeping it off! We have no illusions of the band being a miracle cure, nor do we believe that we will achieve our goals without working for them. We understand that if we continue the lifestyle and eating habits that got us fat in the first place, we will not achieve our goals. We come together in order to strengthen our determination by sharing our dreams, our struggles, and our victories with one another. We encourage everyone to get to know one another while sharing tips, support, struggles, and encouragement... and a kick in the rear when needed! *grin* This is not a contest, there is no deadline, and everyone is a winner by being a "loser"! Wednesdays are weigh-in days for those who wish to have us update your progress on this page. Please post a brief note on Wednesdays in the following format: C 265 (-42 lbs total, -3 this week). (H-highest weight, S-weight at surgery, J-weight when joined this club, G-goal weight, C-current weight) Use CDC BMI site: http://www.cdc.gov/nccdphp/dnpa/bmi/...calculator.htm If your name is in RED, we need your current weight. 503-250 - H&S 503/ J 467 / G 250 / C 456 (-47 lbs total) Welcome to the Club!

  20. OK, I have to figure this thing out since I have done completely nothing since Day 1! Does everyone still post weekly that is on the first page? I will try to look into starting a new thread boys and girls... Thank you again Joyce for everything!
  21. Joyce, I am sorry that you are leaving also... Please come back soon!
  22. I can take charge again... unless someone else wants to...
  23. Well maybe since Pnut was banned, Lisa will feel that she was treated equally and she will be at peace now and leave it all alone.
  24. All I have to say is dammit, dammit, dammit... Please update us a lot on her and hopefully she will still me a Gone For Gooder...!!!!!!
