This is so funny.. the other day my dh and I were having fun.. and that happened to me.. I don't think he heard it.. I did.. I did not say anything..

I want to get my belly pierd.. I had too many bellies before..

I know what you mean.. you loose in parts at a time.. I have lost my boobs,legs.. but still a stomach.. I figured it would go one day..

Hi Bebbyk1.. I am also in Columbus.. Iwent to the Barix clinic in Groveport.. Things are going well.. I have lost now about 51 pounds since October 12th.. I just got my 2nd fill.. I have to remember to eat smaller portions.. Hope everything goes well for you. Keep in touch

I was wondering if there were any Ohio State Buckeyes out there.. or any one from Ohio?.. If so where? I am from Columbus..

I was banded 10/12/06... have had 1 fill...48 pounds down so far.. my exercise routine has slowed down.. I was working out (various arobic classes) 40 minutes a day.. 5 days a week.. in addition to doing alot of walking at work..and jobs around the house.

My wake up call was.. when I went to an amusement park with my kids (then ages 5 and 4) I could not ride the rides with them. My mother had to.. I was too big to ride with them.. It made me realize that if I kept the weight on there may have been other things my mother would have to do.. because I may not be here.. So next summer I am going to ride everything I missed out on with my kids

I just recently had my surgery 10/12... and my cycle was pushed back about a week to 10 days.. I was concerned as well... but I think our bodies have had a shock ..so it pushes it back.. too bad it was not all the way:p

10/18/06 Last night was hard.. I made dinner for the family because I wanted to keep up with my normal duties.. and I cried.. it is hard.. but I need to remember this is only a stage.. I will soon be on to the next stage.. only 2 more weeks. I have already lost about 10lbs! I am almost down where eI was in April... My goal is to wear the black dress I did in Chicago for New Years.. and then next year the small black dress I wore the first year John and I went out. I had to go to the grocery store Sunday with the family .. that was very hard.. there was things I used to normally pick up that I did not.. I had my broth and soup.. but soon I will be able to eat things again..

Hellp Buekey5.. I am also from Ohio.. I was just banded October 12th... Welcome !!

Well I am back!!!.. I went for band surgery in April and during my procedure my spleen was nicked and I had to have my spleen removed and no band.:confused: I was devistated.. well I just went back and had my band done. I was just banded 10/12/06. Things seem fine so far. I am still a little sore because I had adhesion the Dr had to pull apart during surgery. but he was able to do the band and do it lapiscopy. :clap2:

Thank god for a low out of pocket expense I have to pay.. so with this mess up I have now met that limit.. so if I do decide to do the surgery..It will be free to me!! My concern is not if I am at a greater risk for infection( I am not) but has any one had an infection.. and what are the signs..
