    I watched it Last night and NOWAY are their weights accurate-not unles fat weighs a lot Less in California!! They are HUGE.I was 220# and a size 20...5'4". 220 on there has to be at least a size 50.! and don t tell me the camera adds that much weight. I am a size 16 and 183# now...headed for my size 12 and comfort of being me again. Good luck to all of you and great going.

  7. i take gummy vit C with D---from Costco.....they are awesome...Oh-and their chewable vitamins are the best i ve had.bottle is BIG 6 months worth..@ 2 a day.And all my labs came back perfect-so they are good.
  8. I was so miserable after my last fill for at least 3-4 days---but for the life of me I will NEVER get a defill!!!I will wait till it goes down-as i did then.Wow it was so painful-I vowed to take a Valium before the next fill. And it was done under floriscope.He just couldn t get it to "pop".had to stick me 3 times. how can I get the weight meter on the bottom like you guys have?////so cool
  9. I m near Harrison Arkansas and was wondering if I could find a Dr to fill nearer than San Antonio----lol. good to know
  10. I got sick starting with diarrhea 2 weeks ago.I had some applesauce and a zofran pill in my mouth -intending to chew it to keep from barfing and choked and swallowed the pill-it got stuck and I thought I d die.! For almost two hours i twisted and turned trying to dislodge the pill and wondering if I was really just having a heart attack.! I kept sipping water..and finally was free from pain and managed to sleep. It was the worse diarrhea I ve ever experienced But thanks to group meetings and hearing of several girls who ended up being hospitalized for dehydration...I kept sipping water and apple juice all night. I get the concept of two bellies-your little belly empties into the big belly.The big belly is the one that wants to throw up but can t because of the band seperating them.My Dr sent me home with Zofran and said they NEVER want me to throw up!...I couldn t forget that.i have the fear of messing up and having to redo. I even chew up my 1(not 2 anymore !)Excedrin for a now occasional headache.I don t even mind the taste.I had Migraines 2-3 a month before this life saving LapBand.!
