    Hi BG, You have been a great help for me in last few months , thank you so much.
  3. Thanks BG.
  4. I love to know what that means. How does that feel? I don't know if I am there or not? Please share with me. Thanks

  6. Thanks imaluckydog. I am just worried with a 3rd fill I may start to throw up everytime I eat since I feel that way now if I eat more than 1 1/2 cup of anything. I guess I should go for a little more fill , they can always unfill.
  7. I have been banded for 3 months. I have had 2 fills, with the 2nd fill I felt I still could eat small portion like I am supposed to but had a hard time with few foods. I can no longer eat any kind of bread which has always been my #1 problem so in that way the 2nd fill has been a great help to me but I can still eat a lot of food if I am not watching it very carefully. I have lost about 25 pounds so far. I am affraid if I get another fill I won't be able to eat anything but liquid and if I don't I am still not that restricted except for few kind of foods. Not sure what to do in my next appointment. Thanks in advance for any advise.

    You will love your Band and your life will change for better! Best of luck to you. My Band is my little secret too, only my husband knows and it's working out great.

    Thanks for sharing & being so positive, I have had few bad days lately and you reminded me it's all about the important things, my family and that nothing else matters. Take care
  11. I know you don't want to hear this but you look sooooooooooo beautiful ! come on give yourself all the credit you deserve and definitely see a trainer or just buy these videos that show how to target & shape specific part of the body or perhaps consult now for a small lipo for the area that bothers you, that's what I am planning to do and it's more convenient these days since we can charge it and pay it monthly. You look so young and beautiful, I hope you see that too. All the best.katie

  14. We are all in the same boat but this will be the best thing you have ever done for yourself especially if you are totally ready and committed to do this. I love love love my band and I know you will too! Good luck and all the best wishes
