  2. Hey kate, just wanted to see how you are doing in the long term. seems like most people on here are newbies. glad to talk to a few who have had the band for a while. I am real curious about the long term of it. thanks hope to hear from you soon, famrika
  3. :thumbup:Hey jen , great to hear, i hope all goes well and smooth for you. I got my packet today. Let me know how it goes.
  4. you have had your lap band since 7/26/04 , wow i was just wondering how you do with it in the long term. do you still have to have it checked? are you able to eat normally? does it ever bother you? are you gaining back any of your weight or maintaining without difficulty? sorry for all the questions , but i am very curious about the long term and you are the first one i have found . thanks for your help , famrika:rolleyes2:
  5. I must say your words have been very incouraging and i thank you all for listening and taking the time to respond. I will be on my own if and when i do this so having the web site will help. I live near vincennes in a very small town wheatland i go through jasper and shoals twice a month for work. nice to meet someone so close with the same experiences. it would be nice to hear from someone who had the surgery a yr . or so ago , and see how they are doing in the long term. thanks again to everyone and keep peddleing hoosierpoms, and best of luck to your daughter.
