Getting banded on Tuesday
I had it done two years ago and have done well. I needed to lose weight to have a very large hernia repaired. It's on the horizon. I will keep you in my prayers.

So I guess I've reached MY final goal:)
Confused too. I've lost 137 lbs and I'm in a 14 loose. Years ago (35) I did WW and lost 62lbs weighed 141 and was in a 12. Hats off to you = great job.

Friday Weigh Ins
Hello Everyone. Sorry I've been missing in action. Congrats JT. Way to go. I weighed in at 171 this am. I've been doing well since my unfil. No reflux and no getting sick. Also been maintaining. Had been floating between 174 -172 for the past month, so I though I was where I should be. Hope to lose that last dang lb before Christmas. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Weighed in at 174 this am. Down 1.5. Went to the Dr. yesterday am good news is that the band didn't slip. It was too tight. Nothing was getting through it. That's why I was throwing up all the time and had reflux. They took out 2 cc and I feel wonderful. I can actually eat and keep it down. No reflux last night. Just have to be careful not to get carried away. I don't understand the logic of how the band got too tight because I got too thin.

Welcome Prairie Dawn. I live in Gardner.- Any Kansas City bandsters???????
[ do I eat a normal breakfast that morning or is it better to have something light or nothing at all?? Thanks for the info! I've only had two fills, but I took a protein shake with me for after.- Friday Weigh Ins

I lost 3 lbs this week. Current weight is 184.5. I've got one pair of pants that fit. Now when I find cute clothes at the flea, they are all sizes I used to wear.- Does the band help or cause Reflux? I'm confused..
I'm a year out and just started with reflux. Anybody take anything for it. The no pill crap causes a problem. The prescription dissolve things are costly.- Any Kansas City bandsters???????
Hey KCers. I've been in Jersey for 5 weeks. Having a great time. Will be back in KC in the fall. Swimming. walking the Boardwalk and doing major yard work has helped my WL. Talk soon.- Friday Weigh Ins
It's so easy to find old habits. But glad you're doing OK. I'm in Jersey for the summer. Getting alot of exercise. New knee is doing well. Take care.- Friday Weigh Ins
Hello from Jersey. Arrived last Saturday, but just got connectivity. I did it. I'm in "Onederland" finally. Weighed in at 195 yesterday. Been able to get around much more on the new knee and most of the swelling is gone. Hope all is well with everyone.- Friday Weigh Ins
Great weight loss everyone. I'm 203 lbs today. Bad Month. Had knee replacement on 5/11. (gained 7 lbs of fluid). We had a tornado hit our street on 5/12. What a mess. No one was hurt, but 7 out of 14 families on our street are displaced for 3-6 months. We were hit the least. $5k damage to both cars. Needed a new roof, new siding, new garage door, windows and ceiling in guest bedroom. Looking forward to Jersey Shore for summer recoup. Sorry I've been gone so long.- Any Kansas City bandsters???????
Hello KC People. Just have to ask. Did anyone see the street in Gardner that was hit by the MicroBurst?? IT'S MY STREET. There are 6 families without livable homes. We were blessed. Only need new roof, siding, garage door and some windows. I was in the hospital getting a new knee when it happened. I came home Friday to TV cameras. (and I thought it was for me). Did gain 7 lbs in 3 days though. Good news is that it's the swollen knee. Need about a week to catch up on all the posts. Jersey- Friday Weigh Ins
