    l2 i know what you mean about normal size aint it great i thought i would never get to shop at any store but the fat lady store and now i can get clothes anywhere the most exciting was buying jeans at the GAP unbelievable!!!. never give up and get those fills is my advice, i am almost 3 years out and only 4-5 lbs more and my BMI will be in the normal range NOT overweight or obese, i started out morid obese!!! YAY my total loss is 90lbs the last 10 or so i can see a difference, it is hard for me to see what i look like, the other day i saw my body's reflection in a window and i really saw the difference in me for the first time!! this has been a hard journey but it is worth it all, my son got married in march and i am not the biggest person in the pictures that is such a good feeling!!! one more nsv my husband and i weight the same i just wish my 180 looked as good as his 180!!! i am in no way bragging about this just wanted to share with you all that it is possible. i am never hungry, have finally learned that you don't have to eat a but load of stuff to survive, i am very tight but havent had to have a fill in over a year. so if this slow turtle can do it you all can too.

    hey just drop by to see how everyone is doing, boy it sure is quiet on this site!!!!
  12. Wow.. I'm so sorry I didn't respond to you. I didn't realize this was on here. Yes I'm a dental hygienist. I came into the profession late in life, so I've only been practicing for 15 years. I landed a plum job with the health department 7 years ago, and LOVE it! I just got banded Dec 17th, so I'm in the new stage. I just had my first shower (that made me feel much better) and some scrambled eggs for breakfast. I'm very fearful of eating, so I'm taking it slow. Luckly I'm not really very hungry. Thanks for the post, and I'm sorry it's so late. Molly

    malti after 3 fills i had no more restriction then i did from the begining so they ck the port under flouro using contrast dye and when they did the fill you could see it pouring into the tissue around the port. of course i still blame them because of the number of sticks i had with each fill the drs could never fill me without at least 6-8 sticks or under flouro!!!
