My Surgery date is set for 3/21/06 (2 weeks away) I am scared and excited at the same time. I am ready make a change in my life for myself and my 2 little girls. Pre-op weight 263 and I hope to loose half of myself!!!!!! Jana

I was banded on the 21st of March and then on the 3rf of April I had emergency surgery to fix what they thought was a port problem but ended up being a "kink" in the tubing. NOw 1 week later another kink!!! I am so depressed. This is not fair!!!!! The doctor wants to wait til monday and do it in her office under a local. I am scared!!!!! Not sure if I want to do that or not. but I am in discomfort and I know it nees to be fixed. Is this common???? I haven't heard of anyone continually getting kinks. I want to see what kind of statistics Inamed has on this. I cried alot today and am so unsure if I made the right decision in the first place. I knew there was a possibility of complications but tubing kinks were never mentioned to me. This is hard to explain, but I am so depressed and stressed over this.... I am nauseated.

Hi Alicia, I too am a SAHM in Texas. Welcome to LBT. I am sure there will be alot of people around here willing to help you with any questions that you have.

You will start to feel full after getting a fill. Just hang in there and be patient.

Jess, Glad you are home and doing okay. Take it easy

My hair is falling out really really bad. I can't even hardly stand to run my fingers thru it, because it feels so thin and stringy. At least reading all the posts on this thread, I can take some comfort and know I am not alone. I haven't come to LBT in a long time, but I am glad I came today..... you girls here can always get me out of a funk!!!! Thanks all you LBTr's

Hope you had a happy day!!!!!!

They really aren't that bad, so don't be nervous. Hopefully this will help with your hunger. You will be fine.

Maybe that's what I should do!!! Get up early and exercise before the kids get up.....then maybe I could actually get thru my whole routine without them bothering me! Your weight loss is awesome!!!

I notice mine more now than I did right after the surgery, but I think I notice it more because of the weight loss. I am short and it is right at the level of my bathroom counter, I bump it all the time when I am getting ready in the morning.(ouch)

Beautiful house Tricia!!! You are lucky! Victorian Houses are wonderful and they look so great decorated at Christmas time.

Welcome Krystal!!! You will love LBT, it is a great site for info and support.

Darcy, Those are great pictures!

My doctor put me on Flinstones chewables (2 per day)

Tricia, Thanks for the link to the plateau busting diet. I havent hit plateau but have saved it for when i do too!

Happy Bandiversary!!!!!! :clap2: :clap2: :clap2:

Lanie, Good luck and don't freak out!!! It will be so worth it!

Watermelon pie..... sounds interesting

Roni, I am so happy for you and your daughter. Kids have good imaginations and it is amazing what they can come up with when they get into trouble. ((((hugs)))) to you both!

Roni, Glad you acted fast and called the doctor. I hope your hubby finds some answers for you tomorrow. I will be keeping you and your little one in my prayers.

I like krispy Kreme donuts, But I LOVE LOVE LOVE their coffee!!! That is the only place I have bought my coffee beans for the last 3 years!!!

dd as in dear daughter ???? that's what I use it for

GRRRR. I hate it when some people speak before they think what they are saying!!!! Not all obese people have diabetes. Don't worry you will get the "un-hitched NSV" you deserve!

Sliming is Gross!!!! Sorry you have had to experience it already!
