Went to the Dr Office first thing monday morning and he took aout 1cc.. He did not want to take it all out didnt think I needed too.. He also didnt think I did any damage to the band either.. Said I would be a whole lot sicker!! Just wanted to say thanks to guys for helping out!!

Had surgery on 9/4/06 and my last fill was 11/14/06... I'm about 2.5 in a 4cc band.. Self Pay.. My band has always been tight in the morning.. usually Soup for lunch.. then maybe a salad, health choice dinner... etc.. About 3 days ago I started getting acid reflux around lunch time and i have not eating anything.. Drink Water too fast.. ends up coming back up... cant eat anyting mushie, not even anything cold.. has to be hot.. Never had this problem.. getting scared maybe slippage.. Hope you got a picture of what is going on. .I seem to ramble on and on and on.. Thanks for reading and any info would be great.!! Thanks Stephanie

Anothe challenge sounds great!!! I'd like to see something a little further off though... how about Easter??

Down 1.2 YEA!! I'm made it to onderland!! Just Barely there but I'll take it!! WOO HOO

No loss no gain for me this week... still 201.. I want to change my Xmas goal !! I'd be happy to get back to onederland for my Xmas challange!!

Yea Good Report this morning!! Lost 2 lbs this week.. I'm at 201 now and can actually see onderland over that hill!!! Good luck to all this week!!

*sigh* I gained 1 pound this week.. Kinda depressing considering Mr Tidy Bowl and I became very acquainted... Oh Well!! I was so wanting to hit wonderland soon!!

Sorry guys I have been horrible about checking in these past few weeks... I'm down 4lbs since the last time I checked in.. I had been at a stand still a few weeks ago and got another fill last week.. OMG!! started with 2.25 in my 4cc band on first fill.. He put in another .5 with fluro and the barrium went down okay.. On the way home I took about 2 sips of warm water.. That is when the pain started.. By the time I pulled into my driveway I couldnt even swallow my own spit and the pain was so bad I was crying.. Called the Dr's office and my husband had to drive me right back for and unfill of .25 ... I am still trying to talk myself into waiting another week to see if I need more of an unfill.. This past week has been pure hell!!! I can only drink hot tea in the morning and maybe maybe by 3pm I can have a few bites of soup.. as for supper I'm finally able to eat a little something.. I'm just frustrated and tired of haveing that golf ball pain everyday.. The dr said I'm just sensitive and to give it another week.. but YIKES!!! On the positive side I love the weight loss!! Just wanted to share my frustrations.. Thanks for letting me vent!! Hope everyone has a wonderfull Turkey Day!! I am hoping I can at least taste something...

I want to share this with all of you guys.. Yesterday at Walmart shopping in the salad, fruit, veggie section I ran across these Bolthouse farms drinks.. The one I bought "Perfectly Protein" 15.2 oz bottle with 19g of protein, 160 calories per serving, 3 fat, and absolutely WONDERDFUL!!! Taste like a piece of pumpkin pie in a bottle!!! I just want to drink the whole bottle and run to walmart and buy MORE MORE MORE!! which I will on my way home from the DR. I have a hard time getting all of the protein and this is a little help that taste great!! Hope you all enjoy as much as I do!!

Hi Guys sorry I missed last weeks weigh in.. I remember it being 208.2 with a total of .8 for 2 weeks.. Then last Tuesday I took a pretty nasty fall while delivering a certified letter to the door.. Twisted my right ankle nicely and brused up my left knee.. The only thing that hurts the worst is my pride.. OMG I hope no one saw me BIT THE DIRT. As of today I weight 206.. YEA!! sitting on my butt all week and lost 2.2 lbs.. Go figure!!! So my running total for the challenge is 3 lbs!!

I guess I'll get it over with.. I lost .5 ...ehhh not to bad I guess but I was hopeing for a little more.. I'll take it though!!! Are we suposed to weigh naked? or with pj? or regular clothes?

Lakegyrl here is his website http://www.obesitycontrolcenter.com/index.html I also did a internet search on yahoo, google, etc by typing in his name.. That is how I found this site!! I just typed in his name in the search and all sorts of posts came up!! I had my doubts going to Mexico but I have no regrets!! Hope this helps Stephanie

I felt fine afterwards and I dont see why you wouldnt either.. The next day I was a tad bit sore in the port area but nothing even remotely close to after the surgery!! You will do fine!!

Hey Virginia I just had my first fill yesterday.. I was very nervious considering I dont like needles.. My dr had me lay on the table with a pillow in the small of my back to help him find the port easier.. He then gave me a shot to numb the area (only a slight prick), the next shot was the fill which I didnt feel at all... after that I stood in the xray machine a sipped the barium and got to watch the fluid go into the pouch and spurt thru the band into the stomach.. Looked like a smoke cloud.. LOL really neat to watch!! Good Luck!! Stephanie

Banded on 9/4/06 and had my first fill yesterday 10/9/06.. I think he said 2.25 or 2.5cc in my 4cc band.. Not feeling much today but I'm still on liquids for the rest of the day... Guess I'll give it a few days and see what happens.. Stephanie
