  6. Thank you for coming over to follow me on my new page!! Your smiling faces are the prettiest addition there! I'm going to continue to add more tags to old posts and a search feature (as soon as I figure it out) so it will be easier for newbies to find information. Just trying to spruce things up!! Thanks so much! Your friend -BG

  9. ROTFLMAO...I never noticed Hef sitting there...I just assumed it was your DH/BF LOL! WTG Emjay on the WL!!! You'll get there soon enough...reflux at night...major red flag...good for you for fixing it! -BG
  10. Wow...not a fun day at ALL (BTW...I love that book)! I'm sure the swelling will go down soon and you'll be back in business...feel better! Have the doc write you an Rx for some anti-nausea pills for the future...I've used them twice since banding (heaving always causes the band problems). ((hugs)) -BG
  11. Sarah- So glad to hear this worked! I'm curious, what were your symptoms that the band had moved up (a normal 'slip' actually makes a larger pouch so I'm trying to picture how the band moves up and you have no pouch if it's stitched in place on one side?). One more, hope you don't mind...what's a 'lesion'...is it a scar or maybe the start of an erosion? Thanks! -BG
  12. I reached 80 pounds at post-op week 37 (so about 8.5 months). I'm 1/2 pound from a normal BMI... Advice...restriction IS 'not being hungry between meals'. You're on your way! -BG
  13. WOOT!!! You go girl! 10 pounds in a month at this stage is awesome!!!! Here comes Onederland!!!! I'm so excited for you to get there...you've worked so hard for this!!! You're an inspiration...Long live SWA! -BG
