  1. What is your band max?Where you at on your fills
  2. Be patient.Try to stick with a diet like you were on with the band filled.Im glad you quit smoking.No breads and soda pops and heavy fat foods.Eat as clean as you can.No candy
  3. Does your doctor know when he or she will fill it again?Normally if the band slips and they remove the liquid.They wait to let the band settle in again.Then they start the whole fill process again
  4. Did you weigh yourself and see the numbers?If you did and it depressed you.Lets look at the whole picture.Do you look alot slimmer now than you did before the band?Do your friends still think you look good?Can you fit into your clothes?
  5. So the lapband is just as successful at diminishing diabetes?My friend had the roux n y done.just to get off of diabetes meds.I have never had diabetes.Im banded
  6. It is a tool.You have to work along side of the band.Not a magic bullet
  7. Feel free to ask me questions.Ill tell you this.After going through the surgery.i felt it was a piece of cake.ive had no complications.I don't always follow my fill schedule or my diet.The remarkable thing about the band.Is you can always restart your diet.Anytime.
  8. Congrats to all.you are definitely working on changing your life.Change is good
  9. A beret?A hat?I don't know if the band can help you shrink your big head..just kidding
  10. That was inappropriate of your business partner.Making light of something serious as your surgery
  11. I don't sit down and eat a big ol steak.usually a 6oz with veggies no bread or potatoes.I get most of my protein from shakes and supplements
  12. Yeah..we are here to help.and ogle at profile pics..; )
  13. I'd rather ogle at your profile pic.beware of the kitty.ill steal your booty
  14. I think if I get my weight down.I always wanted to wear a pair of bikini type speedos.id have to have a large pouch on the bottom for obvious reasons..I'm a guy.beware of the kitty.i will steal your booty
  15. What's up y'all?I was also on that site.looking at scars..lol.i told them I had pictures of my infected ingrown toenail..lol
  16. You are beautiful Shelby..Destiny looking sexy..beware of the kitty.ill steal your booty

  18. Looking good yall..sexy lil things
  19. My band is filled so much.im singing up up and away in my beautiful balloon..lol.maybe that's why I was so light on the scale..just kidding
  20. Wants wrong with using egg beater brand eggs.Rather using regular eggs?You get more protein out of the egg beaters and less fat and cholesterol
  21. I guess I should be proud of my doctor.Barker Bariatrics in Dallas.So far its been two years and no complications so far.knock on wood.ive read a lot stories about band erosions and infections from it.I even read about a forum on self fill questions.Thats scary
  22. Age is only in your mind.If you have good health.then you're ahead of the game.im 46 I act like a way younger person.Always look at life as it is all new to me.My eyes are always in wonderment
  23. I wish I had a copy of the insanity DVD.im too cheap and poor to buy one at full price.
