I have made it back to onederland after 5 1/2 years! I love my band!!! In 7 months and 20 days I have lost a total of 71 lbs! I am so happy!

It's now time to focus on the next 70 I'm GOING to lose!!!!

I was wondering about you....well I'm glad your in a safe place!

LOL...I used to love the movie when I was younger!

I would be happy to give you a donation. Best of luck!!

AWW Wendy! I'm sorry, I wish I could make you feel better! Don't worry about the 7lbs they come back off but, I think you should avoid the low fat brownies!LOL

One can hope right?lol

That's awesome! I get bad headaches and migraines too, I never thought weight loss would help that. I guess that's something else to look forward too!

Thanks for the up date!:tongue2:

OMG! I'm so sorry, I hope you get better soon!

Gosh look it how you are now! Just think you thought you can't do it!

My Doctor "Admin Fee" was $3500. It's because the insurance doesn't always pay what the doctor charges, so we paid the difference and they call it an "Admin Fee".

Thanks I'm so glad it's over with too! I didn't get the morphine either because I vomitd on that after I had one of my baby boys (I couldn't remember which one!).

Thanks so much for the good wishes! Everything now is going pretty darn good, as long as I don't get other headache!:frown:

Well it's almost 3 in the morning so I guess I'm 3 days post op now. My surgery went really well.

It was funny because I read how everyone says their not hungry after surgery for a few days. Well here's me in the recovery room and the first words out of my mouth are "I'm hungry!"LOL I think what I was really feeling was gas pains!

My roomie was a girl (Surgery4Me) I meant on here in the August forums, that was so awesome because I totally felt that I had know her for awhile!

As far as how I'm feeling. I'm feeling pretty good. I have the same gas issue's everyone has but, it's not to bad. I have stopped taken my pain meds as for they were giving me migraine's! Most of my day today and yesterday were in bed because of it. That part has been awful! It even caused me to do some scary dry heaves when I was in the hospital. I was supposed to get of there on Thursday at 11:00 but, I was not aloud to leave until after 12:30 because I had to make sure I could keep my protein down.

I have not lost any weight yet I have actually gain about 4 lbs my body is holding on to the liquids and I can still feel the swelling in my stomach as well as the gas! So I'm not too worried about it yet. It's going to come off!

My Doctor did a great job with his incisions...I don't think I'm going to have bad scars at all! I'm so happy about that!!:frown:

Well, I'm going back to bed. I will write more later.

Well, this morning I woke up and just about had a heart-attack! Aunt Flo came to see me 4 days early! How dare she do that to me!LOL But, then again that's my luck. Oh well what can I do about it right?

Anywho I've done really well since I got back from my vacation and I have managed to lose 8 lbs this week, I'm so happy and I'm so ready to make that number move up!

I just got done taking my official before pictures. I took two sets, one with my last outfit I wore not being banded. The other I took in my OLD workout shirt (I love this shirt....I wore it before I got pregnant with my last baby) and a pair of shorts that fit me two years ago, Man I had to force those babies on! I just want to see them go from being super tight on me, to super lose!

I'm going to have a hard time sleeping tonight because of my butterflies as well as my darn cramps!LOL

The next time I write it well be from the other side!:frown:

I know! My husband's got over it already so that's good. I just can't wait to get started. One more day!

Well, I have only two days left until my surgery. And everything was going great until I was going threw my mail and I realized that I had a letter from the hospital. So I read it and found out that my deductible we ALL thought was $3500 is really $7000! I just started crying! 2 days before my SURGERY I find this out! I can't believe it. So my surgery that was costing us $8200 (because of some Doctor's fee that's added after my insurance) is know going to be $11,700, my husband was not very happy! Thank God he cares for my happiness and health! Although I'm sure he wants my old body back as much as I do but, he would never say that out loud!LOL He gave me the go but, not with a smile...he'll get over it. But, I feel like there's even more pressure on me to do well....I guess that's not really a bad thing is it? I can't wait for this to done with!!

We just got back from a weeks vacation. We had a great time and ended it with Disneyland for two days, we were last there in January and since then I have put on 20 lbs, WOW did I feel it! I can't carry around this kind of weight anymore, it's so dum!

I'm ready to eat to live not live to eat!

Two more days, Bring it on!!!!:frown:

Thanks for the advice and congrats on your success! If you lost 100 lbs you can turn this around and get to your goal!

Looking good woman! You can really see a difference!

Your scars are coming around nicely! Thanks for posting those.(:

I'm glad were staying overnight, I'd rather be watch over during the first night and get alittle time to adjust to the new port!(:

Sam....Your too funny "miss can I see your port"LOL I know I have issue's!LOL I almost went bypass just because of that darn port!(:

You need to change your profile settings so I can show you some love on your page!LOL You have it set so that no one can leave you messages or even send a private message to you threw here.

My surgery date is August 6th at 9:30am. Gosh Diane is already done and they should be getting ready to start on Candance right now! You have only 5 more days!!!(:

AWW....Piper is so cute!

Hi fatbegone! It was so nice meeting you today!! I emailed you all today but, yours bounced back. PM me and give you your email address again.

Thanks!!

Well, I've been in Carlsbad this weekend for my son's soccer tournament and I have managed to gain all 8 lbs that I had lost back in 3 days!!! I am not happy right now!!! I'm really hoping it's just water weight because I truly did not eat THAT much.

I was trying so hard too because I wanted to go into my pre-op appointment on Tuesday at my pre-surgery goal of 10 lbs or darn close to it! I've gone back and forth between getting bypass or lap band because I'm so afraid of failing with the band! I really wanted to prove to myself that I can do this!

So as of this afternoon I'm back on liquids, if I gained it back in 3 days maybe I can lose it in 3 days:confused:

I guess I'll have to wait and see.

Ok....What does PB mean?????LOL I really don't know!
