Lisa G.

Feb. 5th..my only one. But with my bp doing like it has, i haven't had the energy to exercise much. I am starting to feel better now, so maybe I can get more exercise in. I make myself be satisfied with a half cup, maybe a little more, for meals. Most of the time it works, but there are times that it don't. Depends on what I eat. Have a good day. Mine's gonna be busy. lisa

I wish they would move a little faster. I seem to be playing with the same three to five pounds. here today, gone tommorrow. guess I need to change up what I'm eating. maybe, I need a fill.:hungry: lisa

Not much to report today.... Tanner was out of school today, so I wasn't online much. I do have a few things to report today ...... I did several things. Played basketball, dodge ball, kick ball, and rode my bike today. And I tried to clean house. Gave up on that! Think I got my exercise in??? And the number one thing to report today, I hate my scales!!! They aren't moving as fast as I want them. Well, I'm off for the rest of the nite, catch you tommorrow, k? lisa

Where's Jana????

That's cool. Did the procedure bother you much? Details, woman. Did it take long? What time did you get there? I'm glad you are gardening. Mine isn't even broke up yet. That may be a good thing. Looks like we may be in for a rough night tonite. I'm still having trouble with head hunger. I wish I could whoop that. lisa

At least you are happy about not being hungry!!! Is the jug little and brown?? lol I know you got that! lol I still have most of my little brown jug from surgery. I think I took about 2 maybe 3 doses. And I took them at nite. I'm glad you got fixed. Maybe, I need to clairfy that last statement. Naw, you know what I mean. lol If you need anything, I'm just a phone call away! later, lisa

Yea! Susan. If you need anything..... you have my number. Good Luck. Ain't God good!!! lisa

you feel better today?? lisa

Call them. Send Mrs. Betty an e-mail. Send Jamie one too. I'm sure they are busy. You know how Dr's offices can be. Hang in there, be persistant. Have a good day! lisa

Is your back better today? Did you work? I imagine your kind of work would be hard on a person's back. I used to clean animal teeth. I know how tired your back can get. Yes, that was me. I tried not to stare at people and wonder who everyone was. I do remember someone leaving right after the lullaby played. Dang, I didn't even realized it was you. I'm sorry. If you had said something, I might have recognized the voice. Man, sorry, Susan. Next time, I'll walk in and say, "OK, where's waldo?" lol Better git, time to go get my little man. catch ya later, k? lisa

I was the new one! lol Let me discribe my self..... short, fat, blonde (and gray), glasses, set on the end of the second table. Just where were you??? I kept expecting someone, anyone to introduce theirselves, but I guess I looked too strange to approach. LOL! lisa

YOU JUST HAVE TO BE THERE!!! All this time, I have been waiting and waiting to meet you and Jana and all the others around here. If you aren't there, I will be looking you up. Na, just kiddin. I'm sorry to hear bout your back. And you ain't old. That stuff just happens. Just don't over-do-it today and I hope you feel better. lisa

Check out the ticker!! Check out the ticker!! Looky what I did!! I made it to Onderland! :clap2: I know it ain't much, but .8 pounds for two days in a row, makes it offical for me! lisa

CHICKEN! Bock, Bock, Bock!!!!! lisa

You can come clean MY house. lol lisa

Hi Persistance. I'm not from El Paso or Las Cruces. I am from the other side of the state. East of Dallas approx. 2 hours. Just wanted to say hi. and have a good day!

Hi yall! I was beginning to think that everyone had dried up and wasted away. Jana, glad you made the mark and have started loosing again. I thought if you had insurance, the fills were filed on the ins. and all you had to pay was the co-pay. And if you were self -pay the fills were free for the first year. I have been known to be extremely wrong before. lol I guess we had better start having our own support meetings when the docs can't come to Mt. Pleasant. Would that count? lol Thanks for the update on Tonya. Will she be able to attend the meetings? Susan...I'm sorry to hear bout the leak. Is it in the port tubing?? Wonder how that happened? Anyway, I'm glad you found out what was going on. As for me, I'm stuck already. Haven't lost a pound in over a week. Haven't gained, but havent lost either. I don't like this so early in the game. I hope this is a temporary thing. I can tell I have some restriction, but not a lot. I still go around hungry. Talk to yall later. Happy Valentine's Day! lisa

Hey, Jana. Is Tonya from Omaha? I sent her a mail from one of the other web sites and she never responded. I am guessing it was before surgery. If there is anything I can do.......... k? In my opinion, she needs to get herself to her primary care physician and get a record of this made. (Or the ER) I was up and around the place in a couple of days. She is only a couple of days behind me. The throwing up stuff is NOT right. Did she get any prescriptions for nausea??? Tell her, she is in our prayers. lisa

I guess it's ok. I can tell I get full a lot quicker. How's yours working? lisa

Susan, I just got home. They were super busy today. They said they had to see 85 today! 85!!! We had a informal group session in the waiting room. It was so funny. But, it was also a lot of information passed around. I really enjoyed it. My appointment was at 11:15 and I didn't get to the back until around 12:30. I really felt for the docs. They were runnin... Anyway, I got my fill. Dr. Keilin did it. That's the first time I had seen her. I got the standard 1.7cc. It felt really weird, but I did it. AND I don't know bout the needle. I promised not to look. I don't know what it would feel like without the lidocaine? but I think that stick might hurt worse than the other. Stingggggggg. I can take it. Remember, I used to be a phlebotomist and a vet tech, so it wouldn't have scared me anyway. lol I also had to give Jamie a hard time, she was outside when I left. But, it all went ok, I guess. Just glad to be home. Talk to yall later! lisa

Mornin! Hope everyone had a good weekend. Mine was ok, I reckon. I'm off to see Dr. H today for my first fill. Yall keep your fingers crossed that everything goes well. I'm kinda nervous. I promise not to look at the needle, but they really don't bother me that much. I really just wanted to tell everyone good mornin. Talk to ya later! lisa

Jana!!! You can do this. Don't get discouraged. Just take a look at your ticker. 95 lbs???? That is nuthin to sneeze at. You stick to your guns, young lady and (man, I just gotta say it, sorry) git er done! I hope you feel better soon. I have figured out something... if you drink all the water you supposed too, you loose weight faster. Took me YEARS to figure that one out. Maybe, because I hated the taste of our water. Maybe, your appointment will lift your spirits and get you motivated again. I hope so. lisa

I think it's great that we have so many people supporting each other on this board. Since one of our patients suggested that we establish some sort of feedback on our website, I just added a new feature. I just added a blog to our home page at www.noscales.com Just go to the website and click on the 'blog' button at the bottom of the screen. Every few days I'll try to have myself, Dr Keilin, Betty, Amy, Tammy, Deb, Angie, or Jamie from our office post some thoughts. The best part is people can add comments! On the bottom of each blog entry is a button marked 'comments'. (It currently reads '0 comments') You can press that button and leave your own thoughts if you like and comments can be anonymous. Let me know what you think about this new feature, and also what topics you would want to hear more about. __________________ Dr. Ron Hekier, Texarkana Lap Band Surgeon Lap Band Texarkana ( Texas | Arkansas ) Disclaimer: All information posted by me is my personal opinion and does not reflect views sanctioned by any other body or entity.

Hey Susan. I feel much better today. Thanks for askin. I don't know what was wrong yesterday. Just an off day, I guess. Glad you have learned how to eat. Now, we will see that Valentine's goal. (aw-right!!) I haven't lost anymore, I don't think. Haven't been on the scales. wait.......nope. nuthin. But, you know what time it is? Bout a 3 pound water weight gain. I just hate that!!!! wish i had a water pill. lol Have a good day. Talk to you later. lisa

Morning, yall! Susan, how are you? still got restriction? I'm just green with envy. But I get to go Monday. I hope it helps. I have a question. If you go without a meal, do you get sick at your stomach? I got home from church last nite and I don't like to eat that late at nite (8:30) and I just wasn't hungry, so I didn't eat. This morning, I feel yucky. Kinda have a upset stomach. I had part of a shake, but I still feel like I could barf all over the place. Sorry to be so graphic. Please tell me this is just a glitch and I'm not getting some kinda virus. Well... enough bout that. I don't wanna bring everyone down. Just askin. Yall have a good day. lisa
