I think loosing weight makes you more confident and definately happier. I am glad you are happier and making your life what you deserve. Good for you! And let that skank have him. :ohmy:

Noahs Mom I can tell you I have been there where you are, too tight and miserable. But by staying too tight you are risking your band entirely. If you are too tight you can risk a slip. You can get a small amount out of your band and it will help you. How big is your band and what is your current fill?

Not the ones worth anything! :ohmy:

Bubsue this thread was 2 years old, so I can tell you from personal experience it DOES go away! :shades_smile: Good luck to you!

OMG I can no longer stand myself. Someone please help!! The gas belches and the other end are kiling me. I have tried everything, Mylanta, Gas X ect....what works for ya all?? I can no longer take it and I think my family is at the wit's end as well.....

Thanks guys for all of your support. I can say this is the hardest thing I have ever done....

Smith--look me up Brandy Robertson-Chase Welcome! :blushing: Donna!! YAY! Congrats girlie! Ebony--SO PROUD of you! Keep it up girl! You are doing so well! Colorado--sorry hun, hope it gets better for you! PJTP---ugh....lol....that is all I can say about that! lol....

Angie-- I think you know what you want in your heart. I would have a really hard time watching him date while I have his last name. Carrie--I agree I don't want to be a failure, however I don't want to be unhappy forever as well. :confused_smile: This isn't easy to say the least!

I agree that I am sure even if you asked the Dr they will not know how many stitches you will have. I would focus on the end of the process not the middle! I had plastic staples that disoloved. I have pics up on my thread you can look at. I didn't get the anchor but I did get the breasts done as well...

The Lap Band has given me my life back, only better than ever. I no longer am hungry all the time. I no longer crave crap that I don't need. I no longer have to struggle to get into clothes, I no longer have to be ashamed. I am almost 3 years out now and never have regretted a moment of it. I only regret I didn't do it sooner. I no longer have to yo-yo diet! It has given me a peace of mind that nothing else ever has!

LJM--congrats to DH ! Yay! Tap--I agree however why assume someone is dying instead of asking. I have a low profile port and I guess I am a lucky one....mine STILL sticks out and bugs me. It is what is it I guess....oh well...

lol...I actually had that happen 2 weeks ago. I had a professor come up to me and ask how I was doing...he said the entire Sociology department was worried about me.....that the news was a I was sick and not doing well...... I smiled and laughed. I told him I was fine... But here is the kicker, I go to Michigan State University and there are no less than 30 in that department, all who know me, some very well. WHY couldn't any of them ask me instead of assuming that I am dying?? I agree that it is a bit strange that people just don't ask...lol....

I am on year 15 and done. It still hurts like hell even though I am leaving him. Why?

That what I thought too..lol...now I just think it is WAY too much money for WAY too little!

Mac, let's be honest they are probly all unhappy and don't want to point out how great you look! They want you to be unhappy too, don't give it to them! HUGS Thanks everyone, I know you are ALL right, I will get through this!

Thanks guys. This really wasn't the day I was gonna do it, his grandpa was diagnosed with cancer. He kept pushing me and it came out. I feel like the biggest bitch ever....

PJTP--- I broke someone's heart that I onced love and feel like shit. :wink2:

Suzanne I have been back for a bit. I took a sabatical for awhile. :wink: Nice to see you too! 70 would be a dream!! My man keeps it at 68. STUPID!

Life in general...I have become quiet disenchanted with my current life and self. I did everything I could do to change me, to make everyone else love me and feel lost. Most days I am clueless as to who I really am, and some I am so confident that I know who I am, it truly scares me. But today I ponder how someone who has everything she wished for feels so sad about it all. There is something to be said about the grass ia always greener on the other side. What did I sacrifice to become who I am? I feel more lost now sometimes than I did before. And in the quietness that has become my life I feel wretched. Are we doomed to feel there is always something missing? Are we by nature never to have everything we want and nothing we really need? What do I want to make me happy? I thought becoming the new me was all I needed to make me happy, but alas it wasn't true. I am even more lonely now than I ever was. I feel abandonned by many and intimidating to others. The thing about fat girls, most of them have lots of friends, and I miss my friends. I am so blatently sick of discussion with co workers revolving around "How much have you lost" "Are you still loosing" "You look so good NOW". I just want to be noticed for who I am now, not who I was then or compared to it. IS that the source of my ambiguity? All I have ever wanted is to be happy. Keep the castle and white horses for some other princess, I just want happiness.

I am always freezing, always! I was before always sweating like a pig. I sleep now with literally 10 blankets on me everynight. I feel like princess in the pea! lol...

PJTP--I am changing my life with my attitude. I refuse to be unhappy ANYMORE!

I am so not surprised you think so! LOL....

Thanks Mac, I made a decision to get what I wanted out of life, happiness is number 1! AWWW LU! I am honored. I love you! :tt2: Thanks Beth. I have made some big changes. It feels good to be where I am now!

Losing I will trade places with you, I want a son! :glare: You will loose it again anyways. YOU know what to do!

Awwwww...see why I love you! You are too losing! You gots our band baby! You're it! Beth--it is fun to egg on! C'mon, join in! I have a confession, I just realized I haven't ate yet today, but I am too lazy to cook....any help??
