    Update

    This is me so far....I was banded March 6 08. These pics are as of July/Aug.
  3. Hey girl....looking great in your pic. I have been doing good. I am one pound away from a 60lb loss. Its a great feeling, but I know I would look so much better if I could just get in more exercise. Its the hardest thing for me to do. I get so mad at myself.

    How are you doing? Tell me all about it...chickie!

    Hugs,

    Shannon

  4. I loved the idea of the band for that reason....its adjustable and removable. Also my parts stay in the same place and I feel really good about that...LOL!! Let me know if you have any questions or concerns. I will be as honest as I can for my personal experiance. Good luck making the decision...keep me updated, K!

    Hugs,

    Shannon

  5. Hey Chickie....No problem....I totally understand how life/time gets away from you. I am so glad you are back feeling better. I am happy I can finally eat a little more. Of course I am still pretty tight, but I can so live with it. I LOVE MY DR...lol!!!

    Keep me posted too. Hope you had a FAB weekend. Hugs, Shannon

  6. Thanks so much. Its hard to see it sometimes, but I feel it in my clothes for sure. I have lost a total of 48ish pounds in 5months. I feel like I should be further along but I am happy to be at least losing. I do NOT regret the band at all. I did underestimate how much work is still required though. This is just a different kind of hard....ya know what I mean. Are you getting the band too? Did you get it already?

  7. Hi Everyone..... I am Shannon, mommy of 3, wife to my wonderful hubby for almost 12 years. I live in Ca in the High Desert. I am a SAHM/Realtor. I was banded in March o8 at 247lbs. I went through my insurance and was approved right away. I have UHC. I am 5' 4" and my BMI was 41+. I did pretty good for the most part. My surgeon was Dr S. Lyass and he was wonderful and continues to be. So far today I am down to 200lbs. I feel guilty saying that this is with no added exercise to my daily routine. I need to and will start going to the gym very soon. I need the exercise now for sure. I know my weight loss could have been better had I been exercising all along. Lately I have been having a lot of trouble eating. Actually even drinking. I get the "slimed" thing all the time. I am going in to see the Dr for maybe a slight unfill and also to make sure I do not have an obstruction or slippage. Wish me luck!!! I look forward to learning and sharing with you all. Thanks to all that has read my ramblings...:cursing: Hugs, Shannon:biggrin2:

    Hello....New to the Group

    I was able to see my Dr. yesterday. All I needed was an unfill. He removed 1cc and now I can finally eat. I feel better already. YAY!!!
  9. Hi Juliana...

    Thanks for your sweet comment about my pics. I still find myself taking only headshots..lol.

    I went to see my Dr. yesterday. I got about 1cc taken out. I feel so much better. I actually can eat something without fetting that slimed feeling or feeling like I have to get sick. I just needed an unfill. Please let me know how your appointment goes too. I hope you start feeeling better!

    Keep me posted chickie!

    Hello....New to the Group

    Thank you so much for those encouraging words. I know after today I will feel better and I cant wait to get some energy back. I havent been eating much lately because of being hopefully overfilled. You look great!!! I love the chair in your pic....I need to take a pic in that chair!!! LOL Thanks again!
