    Fat Jokes Continue

    By Pablo,

    So here it goes, am I being retarded, or just too sensitive. I am at work today, feeling good, and a 2 guys start making up fat jokes at my exspence. I lost 90 lbs, I am down from 305 lbs and these guys are making jokes at my expense. Anyone else go through this. Both guys are neither in great shape themselves, but damn I am looking better than ever and actually weighing less than one of them for sure, and they are making fat jokes at my expense. What the hell is up with that. they have been doing it lots lately. Whats up???? Any suggestions what a guy can do without looking like a pussy, or is that plainly too late, lol.

    I dont know about you guys out there, but I know that every Birthday and New Years, I say to myself, and this has been the past 20 years, that by next year at this time, I am going to be skinny and healthy. Well as I had surgery in Oct, of course I am not skinny nor perfect health, but, and this is a big BUT, I will be next year. I will lose a lot of weight this year and be in the best shape I can be. I payed the money, dealt with some issues, and now as I stride in to 2010, I am going to do it. Wake up and in 20 years its not going to be just words. Its happening, and damn am I excited!!!! Happy New Years:w00t:

    First Fill 1cc

    By Pablo,

    Okay I understand, "Take it Slow" But what the hell do you do when you drive 6 hours and get a 1cc fill. I was so ripped off, I am ranting and raving. can someone tell me what my doctor is thinking? I was asked 2 questions;
    1. Are you still hungry and can you feel the band? yes and no feeling of the band being there now.
     
    2. Do you have heartburn?No
     
    then he started to tell me how they like to start out slow. i am very upset!!! What to do? Oh, and 0 bedside manner on his behalf after asking what my name was after giving me a fill.

    I am able to eat anything and everything in high quantities, the only thing stopping me is will power, which I was very low on. Then woke up two days ago with restriction and the inability of eating more than a cup of food at a time without pain. What gives? Anyone have an answer to this strange occurance? Is it strange?:cool2:

    I have been banded since Oct 27, 09 and I have to say that the weight loss was going great, a nice 40lb down and then...... I lost all restriction, no pain except for in the brain. I have gained abouy 2lbs and depressed, because I am back at eating like a horse, eating anything thats put in front of me. I notice I am getting down, and yet I know that this is normal, there are posts out there that say this exact thing, but holy hell does the mind really play with you. The idea that this is not a magic pill has set in after the weight all of a sudden quit dropping and its a little depressing. My surgery place will not email me back when I ask questions. i really am questioning life after banding. God knows I am being a suck!!!:mad2:

    Well I defeated my fear, I am getting lap banded on Oct 27, 09. I have done more research on teh internet than I have ever done before, read about all these new treatments, pills, balloons and the new Mini Gastric Bypass. decided with the lap band. I have listened a lot on utube about how the band failed and how these whole bunch of people got the Mini Gastric Bypass and if you have comments on that surgery or know of failtures let me know, because I have only one negative about that surgery. I go on a 800 cal preop on Tomorrow that really SUCKS!!!!! I am self pay for teh surgery at 16800, so my body better not reject. My weight is a concern and with teh rising stigma against people who are overweight I want the surgery and also for my health and my children. I will pray for your health and hope the best . god bless.:thumbup:
