  1. If you were to have erosion of the band, How long or soon does it take to happen? 1st 3 months? 6 months? 1 year? or many years?
  2. Did he give you any reasons as to why this happened??????????
  3. You have really heavy hair.......just kidding. You are doing really well. My heaviest weight was in march 312lbs. My current "unofficial" weight is 240.4lbs at home in the birthday suit.:eek: Thats 72lbs! I use my weigh ins @the dr office for consistency. every 4th friday @ 10am. Fully dressed, after I have eaten breakfast, I am usually 4.5 lbs heavier than my home scale. I have noticed very little hair loss......no more than usual anyway. The last time I went in they would not give me a fill because I lost 10 lbs in a month. I go on the 19th and I think I lost more than 10lbs, so im not expecting a fill.

  5. Empty calories and carbs! That being said..........I am a very social person!
  6. Thanks everyone here! This board has got me really motivated to lose weight. Believe it or not , I dont even excercise much. Although, I swore to myself that @250 lbs I would start doing more!
  7. I just got back from the dr and I am a HALF pound away from my half way mark to my goal weight. I lost 58lbs and Im 59lbs left to goal weight.
  8. Sorry for the intrusion in the powder room! But I dated a woman who when wearing tight jeans, crossed her legs and shook the top leg, could have an "O". She also liked riding on the back of my motor cycle! It made her horney! So I believe a lot of women probably have your luck!
  9. I had 3 fills by my 8th week post op 4cc-2cc-2cc in a 15cc band. I am currently @9.5cc and I amvery close if not at the sweet spot. My next appt is in 2 weeks. If nothing is changed I will pass on my next fill.
  10. I have been using the mederma, vit e oil and my healthfood/vitamin store recomended 100% pure aloe 1 tbsp per day. Its great for the skin healing. even with burns of all sorts. I keep it refrigerated and it tastes gross. I also put it directly on the scars. Im very happy with the progress of my scars
  11. If you have a problem at that point, wouldnt it be too late????????
  12. I have been playing since about 3 weeks after surgery with out any discomfort.
  13. Agreed! Try again soon. Maybe you were tight at that time. Or it was over cooked. Many people say certain foods are good one time and not the next!
