Lisa G.

Told ya! lol When we get to have a support meeting, I'll be the one NOT wearing the name tag. You will probably know me anyway. I don't know, you might not. Older, much larger, glasses now. gray hair... the list goes on and on. lol Jana, just go with me Monday. I'll scoot over and let you get a fill. lol I'm beginning to get excited bout mine. If it weren't for the battle scars on my stomach, I sometimes wonder if I dreamed that I got my band. lol Did yall check out the new website? It has the dates for group meetings on there.... site address is noscales.com. It's cool. better git, talk to yall later. lisa

Well.... I guess it's time to let the cat out of the bag, sorta speak. lol Many, many, many moons ago..... I worked for Dr. Ronnie Robertson, DVM. Jana, knows him well. That's how I know Jana. She probably don't remember me, but I do remember her. I also worked for the Bruechner's a few years after I worked for Dr. Ronnie. I was their tech and did everything from weighing to X-ray. Surgeries, lab and all that other good stuff that a vet tech does. (I weighed all of 120lbs then and tuff as a boot.) I have also worked other places in MP. I worked at the hospital several years ago. (lab) My last job was at Big Tex. So....does that shed some light on the subject? Just wait til Jana reads this...she's gonna say "huh?" talk to yall later. lisa

Good morning Susan. How are you today? Still feeling full? Details.... I need details. lol Since I go for my first fill next week, I'm hoping I won't have any problems and know what to expect. Sometimes I am soooo ready for it, sometimes I am kinda nervous about it. I sure was hoping we would have a meeting this month. Since I haven't actually met anyone, I kinda feel like a fish outta water. Anyway, have a good day everyone. I will check in with yall later. lisa

I just saw that TODAY is Dr. Hekier's birthday. Thought yall might like to know...... lisa

I reckon that will be ok, since I haven't been to one yet. I need to go. lisa the next post is a ticker test. I forgot to fix it before this one. sorry. ljg

Maybe it will be, Susan. I'm doing fine, I reckon. I got on the scales this morning. 19 pounds now. I have to get some time to change my ticker. I hope I get a fill. I really don't want to drive to Texarkana for nuthin. But, I'm following the diet they told me to do, and I guess that's why I'm loosing like that. BUT I am starving. Oh well, I keep telling myself, just stay busy and it will go away. sometimes it don't and I have to have a snack. Better get. Talk to yall later. lisa

Mornin every body! How's everyone this mornin? lisa

Hi Jana, Have you looked in Paris? There is a Goodwill and a Salvation Army thrift store (I think that's what it is) I don't know what they have, but it might be worth a trip up there to see. I know what you mean about the head hunger stuff. Man, it is whoopin my tail. I hope the next couple of weeks goes by quick. I need some restriction. Or something. I also know what you mean about not having help to mount your horse. I'm 5'2" of short, round person. I wish that stuff rolled up hill. It would be alot easier to get on a horse. I sold my horses a few years ago and I sooooo wish I had some more. Regardless of what some Doctors say, it IS exercise riding. You know that, don't ya! Man, I have a story to tell you, but I won't get into it here, have to tell you some day. Oh, I sent a mail to Mrs. Betty yesterday, she told me this morning, that the Drs are out of town until Thursday, but she was going to call TRMC and check on the avalibility of a room for a meeting this month. She said she would let me know. I guess she will let someone know. They have a new web site. noscales.com. Check it out.I was sure hoping they would have a message board on their site, but they don't. A message board there sure would be cool. It would be exclusive to their patients. Oh well, I guess I shouldn't be so _____________ You fill in the blank. lol gotta go, talk to yall later. lisa

Good morning everyone. Susan, to tell the truth, I have felt like I have been eating like a pig. A really big pig. I really don't want to loose super fast. I don't want all that saggy skin. I know I will have some,but I don't wanna look like a deflated balloon everywhere. That weight posted on my ticker is from my scales at home and according to them as of this morning, I have lost another pound. Don't ask me how. I guess I shouldn't look a gift horse in the mouth cause I know there will come a day when I'll be on here whinin bout not loosing. lol Better go, gotta get the little man to school. Talk to yall later. lisa

I haven't heard a word. I guess someone needs to find out. I keep forgetting. I guess I could blame that on sleep apnea, but I think it's CRS. lol (cant remember stuff.) How are you, Susan? I think the weather will co-operate this week, I'm thinkin about breakin out the summer clothing. notice I did NOT say swim suit. That's yucky just thinkin about it. Hope every thing goes well Thursday. talk to you later, lisa

Good luck on your journey. I am 3 weeks out today and I would do it again in a heartbeat. I will be getting my first fill on Feb 5th. It is kinda scary, but so is the alternative. If you have questions, don't hesitate to ask. That's what this site is all about. Again, good luck. lisa

I have read all the posts on this thread and I think ALL will agree. It's time to let this go. No one is making any head way. It's just causing ill feelings. But there is one verse in my Bible that is highlighted that I would like to share and I will not post again. Whoso keepeth his mouth and his tongue, keepeth his soul from troubles. Proverbs 21:23. lisa

Jana, Of course I can't answer your question since I haven't gotten a fill yet, but it seems to me if you are PBing after a fill, then you might be too tight?? From what I have read, it's possible. But, I guess you know that. Not trying to be a know-it-all, just throwing it out there. As for the meeting, I was told that they are going to reschedule, but I have no idea when. Maybe, we should send Mrs. Betty or Mrs. Jamie a e-mail and ask. What do you think? lisa

Yeah right.... pushin and shovin??? That sounds painless to me. lol Just kidding. Dr. H told me I had a bruise behind the port, but it should be cleared up before I get a fill. It feels bruised, but I can handle it. I'm ready to go back and get that fill today. I woke up starvin this morning. I think maybe cause I ate so little for supper. I just wasn't very hungry last nite. Jana......... where are you? Working hard this time of year? lol Yall have a good day! lisa

Hi Susan, glad to see that you don't have to wait too long for a fill. Tanner is ok, I guess. He got up with a temp this morning. I kept him home. The Dr. didn't give him any antibiotics, I guess I will have to take him to his regular Doctor. (He had tubes put in his ears last June. This was a check up on them, but he has a cold also.) Jana, did you get an appointment for a fill? I'm kinda nervous bout gettin the first one. I hope I'm not a big wimp bout it. lisa

Howdy everyone. Went for my post op check up this morning. I reckon everything went ok. I get my first fill Feb 5th. Cool. Jana, glad you had a good time at the stock show. I used to go up there on occasion. If you have had only one fill, girl you are doing great. I think all of us can relate to the head hunger. I had it bad last week. I was looking forward to the meeting also. Jamie said it will be re-scheduled, so maybe it will be soon. Susan, did you re-schedule your appointment? It sure was busy this morning. Hope you get in soon. Talk to yall later,k? lisa

Yep, I was hoping this would miss us. I'll bet the meeting is canceled tonite. I just imagine I won't get to go tommorrow. Got up this morning with a scratchy throat anyway. I don't really feel like getting out in this junk. Tanner (our son) is sick this morning with the same thing. He has an appointment this afternoon, but it's in MP. He will go, if I have to ride the horse. lol Dont that sound like fun?

Hey Susan, I'm glad you got back safely from taking the granddog home. I'll bet she was glad to get home. I'll make another bet your dogs were glad for her to go home too. I sure hope the weather co-operates with you to go to Texarkana this morning. If not, well maybe you can go later this week. I have to go tommorrow at 10. I don't drive on ice, so I hope it's not a problem for me either. I'm glad you posted on this thread. I haven't posted on the other much this last week. I was hoping to get to know some other people from our area, but I guess they haven't looked lately. Talk to you later. lisa

Hey Jana, are we the only two around Mt. Pleasant? Are we gonna have to send up smoke signals to the others? I thought I might get to "meet" some more people around here. Oh well, I guess I'll just have to wait till Monday. later, lisa

ticker test. did it work?

Thanks, Jana. Right now, it's top secret. lol No, really I just haven't done it yet. To tell the truth, I haven't lost a great big whole lot yet, since I haven't gotten a fill yet, I am having a problem with the "H" word. Yes, I am starving. But, I shall overcome! or try really hard. later! lisa

Hi Jana, just where have you been, young lady? I was thinking about you yesterday and started to send you a PM, but the phone rang and I forgot. Is the meeting this monday, the 15th? and what time? I know it's at TRMH, but didn't know what time. Since I am officially a banster now, I need to go and get aquainted with everyone. AND, I'm glad you started a thread. lisa

Hi Chelle. I was going to use Dr. Babineau in Tyler. He is VERY good. Things just didn't work out for me. It was nothing personal, just a glitch. I really liked him.There are a lot of people that have used him. He has a web site. Tylerbariatrics.com check him out. lisa

That's great, Kim. Hope it goes well for you.

I was not saying that I hear Jesus in my head, nor that I am ALWAYS right. I was stating my opinion just like everyone else. I do not dislike gay people, I was just saying that I THINK THOSE UNIONS ARE WRONG! IN MY OPINION!!!!!!!! That is how I was raised, and God Bless you, Tired Old Man! God made us as free will thinking individuals. In other words, he gave us a mind to make our own choices. How a person chooses, is completely up to them. I, for one, will be going to heaven, because I chose to believe in the one true living God and that his Son CHOSE to die on the cross for my sins. And I ask him to forgive me. I CHOSE too. I do not force my religion or my opinion on other people and you can choose to not read it. Fine with me. Just don't slam me for being a Christian and stating what I was taught from God's Word. Oh, yeah, MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!
