I was one of those ppl. that alwalys said "I don't need surgery, I can do this myself". I 50lb but 30lb came back on. This surgery was the lifetime gift That I could ever have. My husband can't keep his hands off me!! I still have a ways to go but but I know that I have this tool to help me along the way.

Restriction or not you have to eat the right portions, drink water, and excersice. Yes it is hard without the restriction to help you stop. When I don't feel restriction I eat small meals every 3hr. Just knowing that I'm going to eat in 3hr. help.

Why not let the Dr. that you don't like do the surg? I know you can't stand him , but this surg. will help you. If this was me I would sale food, candy, cookies. I would pawn what I could and do what ever I had to do.

Hi everyone! Good luck on your surg. two mon. after I can to this I had my surg. done. Barbara, Telly, Funny, just to name a few ppl. that have lost so much weight. I am doing well, and I thank everyone one the lapbandtalk family .

You can do it!!

I did'nt feel the tightness untile my last fill. I think that for some ppl. the more fills you have the slower you have to eat.

Hi everyone. I can feel my port when I lay on my back. sometimes I can't sleep on my left side but I am doing well.

I just started feel it. Just after my last fill I started feeling the tightness in my chest. Mostly when I have chicken. I have to just eat very slooooooooooowww.

I'm going to make it do what it do Telly!! Work it , work it, work it!!!!!

Everyday I do (2) 45min. workouts fast walk/run on the treadmill. One in the a.m. and one in the P.m.

do you have a toal of 2.3cc?

I would give it some time. Drink as much water as you can . Take smaller bites of food , and eat sloooooooooow! If you can't get down your water, and you still can't get down any food after 2 or 3 days I would get a smll unfill.

My rings are now falling off too. If you don't see the pounds you can see the inch.

A lot of my family don't know that I have the band, so I just tell them that I am drinking lite.

I went out with my husband and I had two drinks. Before I could get home I was PBing. this was two mon. after my band. So now I only have red or white wine. The hard stuff is to much for me now.

I was a 8 and now a 7 1/2.

If you try one workout in the morning before breakfast and one workout at night before dinner . Eat every 3hr in the day, and drink your water. Just try this for one week and you will see the weight come off.

I had 2 fills and yes I think about that all the time. When i had my first fill my doc. did it he got in and out with no problems. When I got my last fill she poked me three times before she could find my port. I think that if I get another fill I am going to tell them that I want my Dr. to do it or I want the flouro . When I come down to your body, you cant be too paranoid. If I get a leak becouse someone didn't know what the hell they was doing I am going to be a mad sister. With three small childern, I can't go under this surg. for a another time. Some inc. don't cover that.

Telly are you going to let your hair grow now. I think you look good with it short. I think that with all the hard workouts my hair was too long, so I cut it all off. I think that I will keep it short until I get to my goal

You look so good girl! You will be up and runing in no time.

Doing something about your weight is better than doing nothing. With the band I'm not getting bigger!

Walk, walk, walk, drink, drink , drink. You can do this.

I get up at 5:45am, I have 2-8oz of water. get my son off to school for 7:30am and by 8am I do my 45min. workout. 9:15 I have breakfast. 2 eggs, 1/4 cup of oatmeal, and 1/4 cup of fruit.

go for you Telly!!! You go girl!

Hi everyone. Now with my new fill I have been getting food stuck in my chest. I almost PB on the way home, I was eatting some chicken and it must have been too dry and it got stuck going down. I just have to eat slow. I have lost 19lb and I feel good.
