Just wondering how safe it is to cross the border now? Anyone been lately?

To make it short and sweet. Being born again means you are under the grace of God and have accepted his forgiveness that is offered to everyone. Yes we mess up, some of us a lot, but don't ever think that takes us away from God's grace and forgiveness. He love's and forgives everyone no matter what they do. Even those of us who are born again.

I wish I had never told anyone. It was humiliating for me. I always have ppl looking at me like why hasn't she lost weight, or asking about it. I have been banded for a year and a half and now and havn't even hit my half way there mark yet. I only told my inside people, but my mom watches everything I put in my mouth and ?'s everything. My best friend lost 100lbs. on her own so didn't think I needed to do this. She has always supported me but I see it in her eyes and it's hard to talk to her about my weightloss because I know she thinks I tried to ake the easy way out. (she told me she thought that surgery was the easy way out b4 I had even considered it.) My sister in law wasn't suppose to tell anyone but when I got back from surgery her whole family knew and were asking me how my weightloss was going everytime I saw them. People have big mouths and don't know how not to judge, so if you don't want to tell anyone don't. You can always tell them later or not. This has to do with you and no one else. So make it about you and your goals. Don't put that extra pressure on yourself if it's not what you want. (ok, now I'm stepping off my soap box)

I was banded Feb. 2009 and have only lost 40 lbs. I have been stuck at this weight for a little over a year now. I really need to find a new support group since I have moved to Loveland CO. Does anyone know of one close by? Does anyone live close by that would like a support buddy? No one I know has ever gone through this so a support system is what I'm looking for.:sad:

I'm getting my 1st fill tomorrow. I was wondering how long all of you had to fast before a fill.

I had my sugery today. Kinda feel icky, but doing ok. So you live in denver now?

I'm a stay at home mom. I live by Scott elementary school. I'm acctually going down to Mexico to get banded. Dr. Ortiz is my surgen. It's nice to meet you. We should get coffee sometime. What do you do? Are you in school?

I agree. You should file a complaint! That being said...I got prego with my first at 220lbs. she came out perfect and I had a perfect pregnancy. I too had a doctor that said I wouldn't be able to get pregnant and that was when I was 16 and only weighed 160lbs!!!! She said I had PCOS and that I would have a hard time getting pregnant and would most likely misscarry. Never happened. She was wrong and so is that "Dr." you went to see. Think positive and all will be ok. Congrats! Enjoy ever minute of it. It's so much fun!:hurray:

My surgey is on thursday. I still have 3lbs to lose. I have stuck to the 2 protien shakes and 1 lean cuisine a day for 11 days now and the scale won't budge. Any advise? :hurray:
