Your doctor is the only one that can truly advice you whether you can or can not have a medicine. I have used Nyquil or Dayquil on occasion.

Wowow!!!Congrats! Keep up the great work!

Great, as usual! I don't work, retired, but my social group is church. I heard everything there, too! One of my church friends, also, had lpbnd surgery from my surgeon. She was of the tell no one mode; he advised her to keep herself "honest" to tell everyone! She only 1st told me, I was the person who referred her. Then she shared it with 2 or 3 others. Then she told everyone! Not everyone knows that I have had the surgery. I told the people who needed to know.

I think that once you have lost a lot of weight, most doctors want you to maintain for a while before TT. But I am not, personally, knowledgeable, as I have not had it done. I just have read from others experience

CALM down! Go back to following your surgeon's rules. I am sure that you will be okay! But know that "slider" foods can sabotage your weightloss just as much as overeating! Back away from the chips, gold fish, pretzels, ice cream, etc.!Best wishes. Karen

Looking good!

Woohoo!

Call Dr Grossbard, he is in the Tampa, Zephryhills, etc area. (813) 788-5569

I have had 2 slips, the 1st went back into place after an unfill. the 2nd needed a revision, but not replace to get back into place. Best wishes to you!

Welcome! I guess hairloss was not a major concern for me. My daughter had a lot of hairloss, and she has "skinny" hair anyway. I think that depending on your style, a good cut is essential. I had long hair, when I 1st started losing, and then had it cut into a bob, above my shoulders, which I have worn for the last 2 1/2 years. Best wishes, and once again, welcome to the site!

I had a lot of other hostess cakes that appealed to me more than twinkies! But, I can't say that I would want one anyway. Won't be any coming into the houses of my family members; everyone is gluten free!

I don't know if you do chains when you take them out to eat. Many of the chains now have 1/2 meals. Bonefish, Outback, Grillsmith all have 1/2 meals. I think that the Darden chains are going that way too! (Red Lobster, Olive Garden, etc). I, usually, eat like Cheznoel said, I order an appetizer and make that my meal. Folks won't question if they see you order even just an appetizer. Best wishes and stay strong! Karen

If you think you are too tight, you probably are. Try having .5 cc taken out to see if that is what you need to kick start your weightloss. Best wishes!

Absolutely, even .5 fill you can feel the difference. I had to have .1 taken out and it made a big differnce in my comfort and what I could eat.

Just keep on keeping on! Follow your surgeon's food restrictions, and walking is good exercise, too!

Woohoo! farmgirl04! I like the results that you got from your ladies at the store. That in itself is a great NSV!!!!!

Me too! And I have been around 8 or 10 for 2 1/2 years, still see a fat lady! I say wow, she is thin, and my husband will say, well your butt is about the same! Hah!

Sounds good, I hope that it works out for you! (pun intended)!!

It sounds like you may have gone to "red", but if you can get even, .1 or .2 cc backed off, you will probably be "green". As b-52 says, it is a fine line. I had .1 cc taken out and what a difference it made in me how and what I was able to eat. Best wishes

NSV's are great!

My surgeon takes the fluid out before he fills, so he knows how much is there. If yours doesn't, ask!

Sounds ok and good! I usually only had the bread served at restaurants. Now, I don't eat that becsue I am staying away from gluten. But, if your band can tolerate it, and its not an addiction, have it for treats!

Wow! Looking good! You will turn heads in a good way!

I totally agree with lellow! Maintaining is hard! I gained but am now stable and doctor is happy, I am not! But I can't get a fill because I can't tolerate anything more than what I have, so it's diet or not lose for me! I guess I have to except size 10 not 8! Oh well, at least its not where i was before lapband! :ph34r:

Congrats to you! Best wishes!
