I've had my band now since 07/30/08, I have lost a total of 93 lbs. For the past 3 months I've had no fluid in my band - lucky me, Not (stomach ulcer, that kicked my ass!) :redface:

I'm so ready for a fill. I've done very well on my own, I fluctuate around 5-10lbs now, due to the fact that I drink beer and recently realized that I can eat pizza crust and pita bread. However, as good as that sounds. I feel miserable after eating or drinking the forbidden foods.

I'm so ready to start seeing the scale move downwards and not upwards. I go for my fill on 09/26. I hope the stomach ulcer remains under control! :thumbup:

that's awesome, thanks for sharing with us!!!

Agree with your friend, I had my surgery on Wednesday and was back to work on Monday morning. On Saturday after my surgery, I went shopping all day with my friend. The hardest part of lapband for me was not the surgery but changing my eating habits and trying to remember to chew, chew, chew and chew again.

that's great, I wish I had the go you have for walking. With kids and working all day, I find it hard to get 15 minutes of exercise in. You are doing great! Keep up the good work!!!!

OMG! I needed this today, I do apologize for laughing but that was great! It's amazing how you try to do things right and it back fires on you. I truly understand. I did the self pay in Mexico and it was great I had no waiting nor did I have to see a dozen docs before they would complete my surgery. My surgery was 07/30/08 in Juarez with Dr. Rod I have lost 45 lbs todate.

Good Luck! I'm sure your approval will come.

Have you hit the sweet spot yet at all? How much weight have you lost over the fills and unfills and also have you ever gain weight during this time? GOOD LUCK!

I agree, with all of the above. I have 2 more sizes to go through in my closet and I'm off to good will. I'm not spending alot of money on clothes until I get down to goal. AND the dark thing......I'm just now getting my mojo back now that I'm down 45lbs so I know what you mean LOL
