  1. Happy 60th Birthday bobbalou!

  2. Happy 59th Birthday bobbalou!

  3. 2 years has passed since you registered at LapBandTalk! Happy 2nd Anniversary bobbalou!

  4. hello there. Well my first fill was a little scary. The nurse coul not find the spot to put the needle. (I have a fear of needles) and about 30 minutes later, she gave up. I had to wait for the surgeon to arrive. They thankdully numbed it before doing it again. Dr. Sloan got it immediately. Yeehaa!!! My total loss as of last weigh in, last Thursday is 26. I lost 6.1 my first week after fill. I am excited. I am so motivated by baggy clothes. haha How are you doing now? I am sorry for your bad experience. I still have not thrown up, not even nausiated. But I am following the plan to the letter. I am afraid to see if I can cheat. Well I hope it goes better from hear on out.

  5. Just wondering how your fill went. I had mine yesterday. Was suppose to be at 1200 and it ended up the dr made it at 3. So I had went all day until lastnight before I was able to eat and by then I was throwing up. It was bad. So what is your total loss?

  6. How the heck do you get your pic on here. I can't find where to go to upload it

  7. Hey just wondering how you are doing. I had a gain yesterday of 1.2 lbs. But they made me start taking Calcium and I knew it would give me problems and it did. But they told me what to do so next week I finally get me 1st fill and I bet I have a great loss :)

    Approval today

    Oh yes I remember the day I found out that I was approved. you would have thought I won the lottery. I was so happy. Yes then scared. But I was ready. I am so glad I did it. I Just had surgery on 7/13 and not had my first fill but if I would not have done this, my blood sugar would still be out of control and I would not be able to breath when I walk and I would still be on the 2 blood pressure meds instead of the one I am on now. So it can only keep getting better. Good luck. We are on a new adventure.

    Hello fellow lapbanders

    Well I am really bumbed. I was not going to share my problem I am having but decided I am bumbed enough about it I would go ahead. About a week and a half ago I started taking calcium because I was told to. Well, now I can't go to the bathroom, you know..... poop!!!!! And today I weighed in with a 1.2 lb weight gain. :thumbup: I am so depressed. It was my goal to never have a gainl. But they assured me that if I take the benifiber I will start going again. What a hassle. Well okay I was told in group today that for every negative I say about self I have to say a positive so, this week I am able to drop one of my blood pressure meds and my blood sugar is staying around 100-115. So there we go. Oh and I had a pair of shorts on for the first time in 2 years today. yeeha!!! Man are my legs white.:eek: I'll have to work on that.

  11. I am doing okay but man it is a struggle with no fill. I am looking forward to that. It is on the 13th of Aug. I have no restriction right now. So I feel like I am dieting on my own completely. I weigh in today and I am afraid I have a gain. Ugh!!! But I will not give up. How about you? Are you doing good?

  12. Hi there! I was banded on the 14th of July. Just wondering how you are coming along?

    Hello and congradulations to all of you. I have not had my first fill yet. I can't wait though. I am hungrier now than when I was on the liquid diet, pre surgery. Surgery was July 13 and 1st fill is Aug. 13.

    Hello fellow lapbanders

    Thanks yellowtopaz. I need all the encouragement possible. How far into this process are you? How much have you lost? If I have succeeded at anything in my life, this is it.
