flabuless

As unladylike as it is, I am still burping more since lapband than i did before it is actually quite embarassing...sometimes hitting me at the worst of times. Becky

Welcome to LBT ahubar Congrats on your surgery...i had mine in Australia in October 05...so far so good wouldn't change it for anything...Best wishes with your surgery. Keep us posted! Becky

I didn't experience much on my first fill...didn't really notice that much of a difference only really after my 3 fill did I start to feel anything...I am hoping for my 5th fill i will reach my sweet spot. Cool video, wade...

Wow congrats! It is a wonderful feeling...I am also swimming in my clothes at the moment...I kind of enjoy it gives me that I'm too skinny for this feeling...very inspirational, although I look very dowdy..bout time for me to update my own wardrobe me thinks! Becky

Welcome Andrea... Great to see you here...Congrats on your surgery date and keep us posted on your progress. Becky

ok I confess...I am one of those credit card suckers...cant live without it. Maybe I need to get the book. Becky

Hi genie I am also from Aussie Land I had my lapband in Tassie...Dont fret...go and talk to the specialist during that initial consult he can answer all your questions and concerns...Have a good look around LBT take notes on anything that concerns you so that you can take it to the consult. I have had my lapband for a year now and have never regretted it for a moment. Welcome to LBT. Becky

Missy C don't fret some people can feel their port somepeople cant. Wait till your fill they will have a good feel around...I am sure you'll be fine... JJB what was the doctors responce when he told you the port was tilted...did he seem concerned? Becky

mysherrijo you are in my prayers... Becky

Yum, great ideas guys...i am looking forward to trying some...I have just been having boring toast up to this point... becky

ginger darl...I get that occassionaly I just assumed that the port was pinching a nerve or something...prob best to get it checked out just in case. becky

Terrilen My advise...breath...dont be so hard on yourself...you are doing what you can to rectify the emotional/physical issues that you have. Live each day at a time...you always have tomorro. Becky

maryrose... Change doctors... becky

my dr just relies on feeling for the thing...can be slightly uncomfortable while he is poking and prodding...but bearable. Becky

After surgery I just loved those sexy tight leg stocking things...hmmm NOT! they were so uncomfortable...But good to know that the drs take precautions from blood clots etc. Becky

i agree re the calorie fluctuation thing...I went throu 4 weeks eating the same thing day in day out... and plateaud...when I started changing my diet and adding new and different things I started to loose weight again...go figure! But I know the fustration keenly...here's feeling for you. Becky

Wow, Mrs Husker that is great! congrats Becky

My big NSV is simply to keep up with my 3 year old who runs like a rocket... Becky

Wow, Alicia521 That is a real achievement! Cant wait till I am there too. Good on you girl! Becky

Like KaydotRN I also have psoriasis on my elbows...no changes. becky
