Boo Boo Kitty

lol...man I hate it! :cool:

I haven't heard much about him, I know he is new there! :cool: I am sure he will be great as well. If you can I honestly think you should see Christie for fills, she is very caring, and always listens to you! I had a problem where Farhan wanted to fill me more than I wanted, and he did. For the next week I lost 9 lbs in one week and was miserable all because he thought he knew better! Christie really takes the time to listen to you, she is encouraging when you are down and is just great. Otherwise I would leave Hurley! Also you have to take Denise with a grain of salt, somedays she seems mean. She isn't really at all but she can look scary! Good luck and keep us posted! PM me if you have any questions for me or need help!

Hey Steph!! LOOK AT you!! WOO HOOO!! I see your waist their girl! Looking good! I made it a tad bigger for you!

Hey Mindy I have found there is a VERY fine line from too tight and good restriction! Sounds to me like you need to at least visit the Dr and see if you are too tight. I have found that even .10ccs or .05ccs can make a HUGE difference for me. GO with your gut, as she said! :cool:

Hi Danna I was banded last year at Hurley. I would love to chat with you, I have been able to help others get through it with Hurley! Honestly you HAVE TO STAY ON TOP OF THEM to get things done, even now while you are waiting for approval! I was banded by Dr. Farhan, who will be your surgeon? If they tell you about the crazy lady that exercises everyday at 4 am that would be me! lol.. :cool: Few more rules: NEVER EVER, EVER for any circumstance let the nurse, Kathy do your fill or unfill. TRUST ME. If you can get Christie, she is the PA and better than the Dr but NEVER EVER let anyone else do it, trust me! They are not great with follow up on paperwork, ect. Be prepared to do as much leg work yourself as you can and you will get done much faster! Also--get to know the ladies at the desk, especially Carlolyn. If she likes you she will get you in sooner and ALWAYS take good care of you! The other lady, not so nice--ever!

I have been thinking and really while the weight loss is great, I think it is the little things that mean the most to me! Let's start a list of all those things we did (or didn't) know we missed! Mine: 1. My kids being able to hug me all the way with their arms wrapped around me. 2. Getting an airplane seat belt to fit without the extender and lots of room to spare. 3. Not having to try to see if something comes in a BIG enough size or trying to squeeze into a 3x because they don't make it any bigger... 4. Fitting in a movie seat comfortably and plenty of room! 5. Having other people never know a fat chick still lives in my head! :cool:

:cool: I think it honestly is whatever YOU think is near! I think 30 is near! I am now like 15 away, but started in this thread at 20 so you are more than welcome! After all really it is just a number!

Ok girls, I posted this and the before and after thread, but wanted to post it here as well! This is the scariest picture ever as well as some nice ones! lol...:cool: I need to get a new license, maybe I will do that today? What do you all think?? lol...

Nat--look at your pics girl!! I am so proud of you, you look 10 years younger and skinny! :cool: Good for you! Bannie--I am speechless, you look HOT girl! Kay--ok that is SO Not the scariest picture ever, I found it this weekend of me trust me. My H had no idea even who it was NO JOKE! I am scared as hell about PS, I should get the date finalized this week...ugh...I am still so upset about the small boobs thing. I am sorry but I have never ever ever been a C so I find it scary. I may back out of that part! lol... Brandi--girl I have never met someone who works so damn hard so damn hard on themselves too! GET OVER it! YOU ARE NOT FAT! None of us are anymore! Geez, size freaking 4! lol... If I didn't love you I would choke you! Sweet--you are such a well traveled girl! I am so jelous as well! You deserve it! You wil turn some heads in Rome I am sure! Don't make those women too jelous there ok? I may post the scary picture in a bit..lol... Love to all, Happy Monday!

lol...really???lol...sorry

:eek: Aww Nat thanks!!

lol...MOSTLY because her sister is phycho..... :eek:

lol....mine is completely right... Damaged Roses

Transformer! Hey there girl nice to see you back again! :eek: You can get 1/2 goal. Congrats on your drop!! I don't know how you avoid the scale, I am on it like a bad habit! lol... good for you! Maybe staying away from it is what helps you! I really wish I could do it! Nat--thanks girl! When you said that fat guy in a little coat I rolled onto the floor laughing you silly girl...lol...I LOVE that movie. But girl I am sure you are not even close to fat guy in a little coat! lol... 77 pounds is great girl, I am sure you will see a great change! WOO HOOO!! I spent the day with the girls, took them to see "The Game Plan" man I had no idea what an awsome movie that would be! It made me cry! I LOVED it! And yeah, The Rock is nice to look at with his shirt off! lol....

This is my story! I have not dropped much at all lately in weight but drastically in size. In the last 2-3 months went from a 14 to a 10!!! BUT not much weight, like 3 pounds. BUT like Nana said you'll eventually get to your goal!

Diane--so glad you are doing so well sweetie! Listen to Julie and take it easy! No superwoman antics for a bit!

Hey ladies, How are you all doing? I am ok, been a bad bad girl today...lol...ice cream, and chips!! OH NO!! lol...I'll get over it... Today I am just not in the mood to care... Nat--wooo hooo! I love closet cleaning day now!! Doesn't it just feel great?? Sweet--I have never done SB, if I knew it worked that well I may have not gotten the band! Sounds like you are doing good! Jill--hope your little one is doing well. You don't need added stress from worrying about her! Steph--you can get back on track! Kay--things will get better for you!

I have flown a few times with the band. The cabin pressure did change my band both times, but the 2nd time was the day after a fill and it was very bad! I was fine the first time, but definately take shakes, just in case. We never can tell from one day to the next what our 'band buddies' will do! =:eek:=

I don't think it is a strong analogy, I feel the same way. I am sure most of us do! I am glad you were honest with her! GOOD FOR YOU! =:eek:=

Thanks Crystal! :eek:

I agree ultimately you have to make the decision whether the band is for you. I have ChampVa and have had the band for over a year. I love it. I too never had problems until I had my 2nd daughter. I choose the band because of the success rate and as well as the less evasive choice. It was best for me. BUT if you can not stay away from the sweets and the junk food it may not be a good choice. The band does not restrict you in that way. Feel free to PM me if you want to talk! Good luck! =:cool:=

I agree that you should attend a support group for you not for your daughter! You need support and someone that understands you! This is not your problem, but it is invading you life. You need to get help for you, that is the only way you can ever help her. You are not leaving her alone by choosing not to be abused by her. If she gets help someday she will understand that. You have taught her not to touch fire, you are no different! Don't throw yourself onto her fire to try to save her, you can't do it, only she can save herself. You can be there when she needs you if she is not abusing you, otherwise set your bounderies! I know how hard it is as a mother, but as a human being you owe it to yourself to NOT be in that situation.

=:Banane30:= now you made me blush....thanks...

Yes she is, welcome back! :Banane30: We missed you!

:Banane30: No longer mad at you...lol...
