So glad to hear your story - what a great tale of woe and go! Very encouragine and wishing you the best on your upcoming surgery. Let us know how it goes. Best wishes. -
I agree with everyone above . .good luck
-
I agree with everyone above . .. but most of all, talk with your doctor's office. That's why they are there - use them. Good luck.

Hi Gina . . I don't get on this site much since it changed. I just can't figure it out anymore - ughh! I hope you get this message. The support group is on Wednesdays and yes, it is next week - hope to see you there! Rose

Hi . . I read your post and am so glad to hear from one of my band buddies - seem to have lost track of everyone when the site changed. I am not able to reply on the blog site. Hope you get this message and know that you have my congratulations. Happy Days!

Well, I hope you can find this .. .I don't know, this site is very hard to navigate. I'm glad it's not serious with your leg - if it's from exercising, it should get better, right? And now you know where you're at with your band (2.5cc), so on you go from here. Keep up the good work.

I found your post on my site, but not sure if this is how to reply . . sorry, I have not heard of leg pain after surgery - I would contact your doc's office for sure. The only thing I can think of would be to make sure you are getting enough water, but not sure that would contribute to leg pain . . good luck.

Hey Kathy, I had surgery in July and have lost almost 75 pounds so far . .. I was also very concerned about saggy skin - I do not want another surgery to correct cosmetic issues . . I have a LOT of allergies to antibiotics and have had some bad reactions, so just don't want to risk it. I have been walking, walking, walking a lot. At first I could only walk 1/4 mile, now I can walk 2 or more miles. I walk every night and my skin is tightening up as I lose weight. I am still concerned about BOB (my Big Old Belly), and I don't know if that will shrink enough or not, but so far so good. Good luck!

Can someone please reply to this post and tell me how to leave a comment on anyone else's blog post? I used to be an "encourager" on the old site, but I cannot figure out how to leave a comment on this new site. When I click on "leave comment" and type in my comment and then hit "post" or if I hit "reply" or anything else - NOTHING happens - arghhh - frustrating! Thanks for your help bandsters :-)

Third fill today and so far so good. Liquids only today and tomorrow and soft foods on Sunday. My doc is pretty conservative and I like that. He does his fills under x-ray, so can tell when it's tight enough. I am now at 6 cc in a 10 cc band. Again, liquids only today and they are going down just fine. I'm hoping to feel less hungry between meals. Have a great day all!

Well . . almost 6 months since my surgery, but it has been 6 months since I started the pre-op diet on July 1st and I've lost 70 pounds. I love my band (which I've named J. Giels - the J. Giels Band). I hope you are all doing well . . . where are all my "old" band buddies? We've lost each other on this new site design.

Second attempt to add a post here . . . arghhh - hate this new design! Anyway, welcome back and so glad you are right back at it!!
-
Welcome back . . . most of us "oldies" are hating the new site .. .. can't even find our old buddies. Hope this message posts . . have not had one work yet .. . .glad you are back at it!!

Well, Eileen . . I don't know if you'll get this. I'm receiving e-mails telling me that people have posted a msg. to me, but I can't find them. Very frustrating. Anyway, the e-mail msg. said you had not eaten one thing you shouldn't have over Christmas - yeah you! I made a sf cheesecake flavored pudding in a reduced fat graham cracker crust, so had a "treat". Keep in touch - and I'll try!
-
Sandra, where are you? This new look to our site is difficult to navigate. Hope all is well with you - where did your picture go?
-
Hi Jill, I received your message, but since this site changed I have trouble figuring out how to reply - ugh! Anyway, I love Dr. Ringley's office - they're great. My surgery went well and I've been doing great since then (7/15/10), let me know if I can help. Support group meeting 1st Wed. of month at the office. Good luck! Rose

Hi Bklynike, I'm here . . just having trouble following my buddies these days (not a fan of this new look for our site). Thanks for sharing your story. You are a beacon of light that so many look to. You are doing fantastic! GOOD for you!!

I don't have to take the fish oil anymore, but my pharmacist told me (before surgery) that if I needed to still take it, I could open up the pills, but I didn't want to do that. I went to GNC and they have a liquid Omega-3 that isn't too bad. Good luck!

The difference between having good restriction and your band being too tight!

Good for you Shonette - I hope this adjustment gets it right and allows you to eat what you know you need to eat. You're doing great! -
Yeah! You rock!! So glad you're back and look forward to hearing when you hit "onederland" !!
