Good luck to you and to your wife! It was the best thing I could have done for me!

Glad to hear that you came through okay! Good lcuk on the "new" you. Karen

I do remember that day, also. For a person going through that, it is hard to forget. Just as we will never forget where we were when "The Towers" were attacked! Anyway, I was in my history class, of all places. School was, also, dismissed, but I don't remember if we had buses. I do remember that I did my regular babysitting job, and watched the TV for days following! Karen

I do drink coffee. I love my coffee! I am not an agreeable person without my coffee!

That is a good lesson for everyone! A 1/4 cc can make a big difference in lapband world! Best wishes for future loss. Karen

Good luck, I had an unfill , due to a slip on Oct 14. I had a hard time, and had a fill of 3 1/2 cc before going on a cruise. Otherwise, he was going to wait until Nov. 23, that's right the day before Thanksgiving! So, I guess, consider yourself lucky, you can eat normally. Just stick to small plates, and salads, protein, etc., like you are used to doing. You might gain, a little, but you will be okay. I am sure. Karen

I knew where mine was, because that was where the big incision was. But, did NOT feel the port until after I was filled for the 1st time. You are okay, I am sure. Calm down! Karen

Congrats on your journey! I hit my own 2 year mark on Oct 30. It is a wonderful feeling that you did such a good thing for yourself! I am at goal, and never made goal in any of my weight loss ventures, before! Good luck for the future. Karen

I like your new photo, B-52. My own photo changed when the new forum started. This is my new avatar, it is me and my Dad. It was the last pic of the 2 of us! Karen

Wow, 115 to 125 is small, but I am 63 years old. My face is already getting like I could use a lift; not going to happen. 140 is where I was for years before I gained 100 lbs!!! Since my surgery, I lost that 100lbs. One again, good luck Karen

Welcome! and yes, your weight loss is fantastic. You will be at goal before you know it. Good luck. Karen And yes, I just took a look at your pics. You are beautiful and the weight loss looks great!!!!

Good luck, and best wishes. I am,also, 5'3" and feel your pain! 140 is a good size for us. I wear a size 8 and everyone says I look good. I just got through with my 1st cruise and was able to pick up a size "m" cruise dress and NOT try it on, and it fit perfectly! So, good luck, and once again, best wishes! Karen

Mine finally changed when the new change came on the forum!

Hurrah! for you "Short and Chunky", You won't be chunky for long, sorry can't do anything about the short! HAHA! I am only 5'3" myself. You are doing fantastic. I just returned from my 1st ever cruise. I loved it, and am planning another, soon.. By the way, I am 63, and was banded on 10/30/2009. I am in maintenance, now. I lost 100 lbs. keep in touch! Karen

Congrats! I bought all my bras from VS. I agree, they do make you feel more like a woman, after being big as a cow! I went from 44dd to 36d and feel great! I wear the same size as my ultra slim daughter-in-law!

Thank you B-52 and all the other responses on here. I am really happy with my band, too! I have a family of banders, me, my daughter and my son. We are all happier and healthier with our bands. Thanksgiving will be a true time of thanks for our healthier lives, and good friends and our band! Good luck to us all, and Happy Thanksgiving! I leave today for my very 1st cruise! See you next week. Karen

Glad to hear that you saw your doctor. Good luck on test results. Karen

Yay! for you, it is great to see the scale start with a 1!!!Karen

Yes, if you can only eat sliders, and ice cream, is a slider, you need to have an unfill! I have been there, do it for yourself, and good luck. Karen

I am, also, a coffee drinker. I can't function without a "real" cup of coffee. I cam even smell the difference in de-cafe. In a emergency, I will drink it, but it does nothing foe me! I need that morning coffee. Goodluck. Karen

WOW! and good luck, Karen

My sons 1st stuck episode was toast. And I thought was going to die when I tried to eat a a roast beef on a small bun. Worst case of pb'ing ever!

Definitely!!!Strained mine, gave the veggies to Hubby! Yummy!!!

Good luck! It is not really as bad as the 1st surgery. Had mine on Oct 14. I am good. Karen

Yeah! And I had to check your age, because I am in the "old Broad" stage too! Love your NSV!!!!
