hello i went to the surgeon yesterday sorry for not getting back atcha but after working 12 hours shifts ya mind kinda go left filed, but she said when the port aches you are either lifting too much or its still healing this may take up to 2-3months to heal with me being a diabetic and if it it get to bothersome to contact her, so far im doing ok no aches or pain ( well except the day i tryed to walk 2miles) but that was only for a few mins, so good luck to you AND i have lost 44 pounds as of yesterday yeah boii, take care, God Bless, Marie

ok your arms are down but to be truthfull they look a lil off to me one of your nupples look un even to me but then again Oh shucks i know "who asked me"?! are they inplant?s or lifts? cuz after child bearing Breast feeding can cause your nipples can take a turn in and out

im so lost i cant figure out how to place my ticker on this web page can sum one lead the blind..lol well any wow as of today i lost 44 pounds

no Dr. karen M. MacKenzie of visaila ca did mine as of today i lost 44pounds! yeah boii

No dont get that surgery my body did the same thing what your going through and finally my body started respounding i guess it had coded due to the clear liquids and not real food go fig..lol but hang in there its very early just drink 30 mins b4 each meal and 30min after ( water or any non cal drink) this helps keep you full. keep walking your doing just fine be patient its ok , you had the lapband a slow but safe way to loose weight no the gastric. holla back if you want to talk

well i live in Tulare which is 45 mil south of fresno i was banded on the 5th of may this yr, and have my fill on the 28th doing great im down to ( as of this morning )268 from 298, by Dr. Karen M.Mackenzie of visaila ca, well good luck to you and god bless

this is true dont focus on the fills watch your food choice's A small amount for me might be taking a reg plate fixing it as if i would of done before surgery then taking half of it off drinking a glass 30 min (water ) before each meal walking a mile or 2 took 12 pounds off me this month and june is still here! i eat what i make for my family no one has a seperate meal just smaller for me. so listen to your body every one is different, what works for me may not be the answer for you and vise versa. hang in there be patient your doing a great job! all of you are for as what i can see.

as for me im just putting all the attention on me, and my kids i have been happily blessed divorced since 2003 and dated one time last year for a year when he found out i was having surgery he started to change late for dates, less calling, then have the nerve to tell me i might leave him for a nother man ( younger) so i told him why wait til then since he felt that way let drop this thing now before some ones heart get broke if there no trust and faith by now then hey why waiste my time as well as yours he looked like a kid being told NO CANDY! so dont ask..lol oh well now he calls wants to know how im doing everytime he call i say im doing great still dropin those pounds! and i make sure "i gotta go" every time he calls if we dont take time to study our selfs and watch us who will? were we are today are due to the choices we made yesterday! keep up the good work ladys and god bless all

lol thats so true so get ya walk on!

well sky its hard for me to tell but i see the surgeon this thursday i will keep intouch to let you know.

you didnt lie some one at church asked me the same thing but before i can answer she said who is he?? aint that about ah*&%$ like thats the only time i can loose weight if a man around ( never did before ) but anyway she ask me what i was doing? i told her walking with the lord and minding mine! i know that might be mean but hey she asked for it and the truth is i did pray for this..and i pray that i finish my mile a day so hey i am walking with the lord AMEN?..lol sorry its late im being silly but if some ask at church just tell them its personal and thank them for the comp' and smile.

im on the same meds gluc and my doc ok'd me to take mine i did no problem it has to disolve at some point one doct did the surgery and my PCP ok the changed i double check with the surgeon since she would know more about what i can take oral i did fine as a matter of fact i have not taken the med the 2nd week of surgery ( 05-05-08 ) blood pressure med none! at night my sugars are 110-113 ams are lower so why bother taking them im sure you've heard this a million times..before stoping any type of meds check with your doc, i was the 1st pt of my PCP to have the band so im educating my MD bringing him Imfo and he went to a semi just to make sure he recived the correct imfo'

Congrats young lady keep up the good work!

greetins all i was banded on 05-05-08 1st fill on 05-28-08 and lost a total ( including pre-op ) 38 pounds im feeling good i pray i keep it up my body can be like a mule some times i hear so many things on what cal intake people should be on many say 1400-1800 ???? who counting ?? im not good or bad ???

greetings my name is alberta from california..banded on 05-05-08 by Dr. Karen Mackenzie of visaila calif (awsome doctor ) as far as i can tell 1. cheese is very high in fat so becarefull of what kind of cheese your eating, the band is made to hold solids foods, yogurts will just slip through .you want to enjoy your foods dont get me wrong nothing wrong with getting full fast but you need your nutrientions, and vita, your doing great with the exersice and your looseing dont forget muscle weights more than fat. trust me i wish i was able to walk more but working 12 hours shifts at a hospital and off 3 days it gets kida hard to put in the work but i walk a mile on my off days anddo other types of exersice and i felt it wasnt enough till i start seen my body shaping & molding so hang in there my sista!
