Thank you Suzie :-)

What a great thread. I feel like I could have written your posts word for word

My surgeon says hormone meds lead to increase risk of blood clots. I had to do this for other surgery with different Surgeon as well. I hate it..He does say I can replace it with one the OTC "natural" ones, but they have never done anything for me

I have to discontinue my hormone therapy until surgery...my poor Hubby !!

Maybe its a good thing....less time to worry about it. I am sure you will do fine.

If you like the taste of the red punch flavored gatorade....isopure alpine punch tastes very similar, i love it very cold.

Thanks! I did very good on the band at first, lost 50 lbs..until the complications of acid reflux, night coughs and pain. I wanted the sleeve back then but there were no surgeons in my area doing it yet.

SeattHi Skinnypants, would you mind putting me down for 08-30-12 until I get my date??...should know the actual date in a few days...he is leaving it up to me. We have a family cruise last week of July...so I want to schedule it soon as we get back home....My surgeon requires 10 days of no carbs preop

Hi everyone, I will be August, just not sure of date yet. I am having revision surgery from Lapband to Sleeve. Never thought I would be doing a 2nd surgery...ugh!

Do you have an Iphone? I use an app called loseit! It's convenient since I always have my phone with me, I was even able to setup reminders so my phone will beep to keep me from forgetting to log. I am 14 mos since being banded & it is one of best tools!

Hey everyone, today is my Bandiversary. WOOT WOOT! I am so close to goal now. I have to have knee surgery oct.15th and I think that is going to slow me up from losing those last 8 lbs. Honestly, I am very happy right where I am right now. I have never been able to sustain weightloss for a whole year. Whenever I want to give up and throw in the towel, my band is there. I am very pleased with my decision. :wub::w00t::alien:

Look how far you have come! -85 lbs, WOW! Under your goal? You may even be more since you have another month to go, Congrats to all the Sexy Septembers!

I really believe that those of us who continue to blog and check in here, have been odds of keeping it off :scared2:

I am attending a get together in Chicago of several others who are at different levels of this jouney. Have you tried blogging ? I find that keeping a blog/journey of my days is helping me to stay focused. It is difficult to believe our bandiversary is almost here already!

Cala I think you are looking for the September 2010 thread, good luck with your banding!
