Ready, What is the ilap?

I haven't been able to bring up the chat room for quite some time now.Does anyone know what's going on with it.

Congrads ChaCha. My wife also in onederland & she's very excited.

Today my wife weighed in at 199 lbs for the first time in about 25 years. This makes her weight loss at 85 lbs since her banding in Dec. 2008. Along with this is my weight loss of 75 lbs giving us both a second chance for a healthier & longer life. We both have a way to go but together we will do it.

Why are you debanding if I may ask?

Do you know if you have to refill a little at a time or will they restore it to it's original capacity?

I was approved by BCBS of Il. in one week by phone after the paperwork was sent in.

I'm a man & Ive lost 71 lbs. I know there's a lot of men in this forum.

My wife was banded12/08 & can't exercise due to her back & knee condition & has lost 65lbs. I've lost 71 lbs but I've had to exercise for every lbs of it.

Are you on mushies yet? I was very nausiated the first 10 days post surgery but felt much better after I started mushies.

Pudgy, Your doctor should be able to provide you with a good food list.

I had the same problem the 1st week after my surgery but it stopped when I started on food. Just hang in there.
