I see Dr. Wellborn, I do know tho he has been sick and was himself in the hospital last month. I am not sure how many new patients he will be taking.. geri oh I am Jan 07 down 100l.b

I have had my band just over a year and I have just around 12cc. If I go over I am too tight. Geri

Hey I was just checking out your pics.. I am a little smaller than you were then..but my boobs are about like that..I need my arms done too..I have lost about 80lbs..and as long as I get below 200, I am at 230 now..I will be fine..I really would like to get my tummy, arms, and boobs done..is it ok to do while still loosing..I am really ready..thanks geri

A really good friend of mine was raped years ago and now has a beutiful young man for a son..why would you kill the child for what his father did? Geri

are you using the powder or the juice powder?? I use the chocolate..and use a blender..on pulse..works fine..geri

that is who did mine..i have had my second fill so i am almost 1/2 full..i still need more, although I did get stuck the other night and had to clear it out..eww..not that bad tho.. i am still not eating that great...i love cereal and it seems to be my downfall right now..everything else i am doing ok..oh and not much exersise..oppp geri

Some docs do put in a bit..and remmeber you were swallen from surgery..that goes away quickly...now even the first fill didnt do much for me..maybe for about 2 weeks, but even then I could eat more than I wanted..now 3 weeks out from 1st one I am always eating..ick I hate it I go on the 6th for my second one..hopefully that will be a better one..geri

I do the chocolate yummmmm..cant do the fruit..tho..geri:angry

actually 20 lbs is really good..you are supposed to loose about 10 a month...you figure in a year that is 120lb..which is great..geri

:hungry: my doc says we can eat solids in the second week..mushies, have much more cals when you eat more and more of them...I started eating more normal foods pretty quickly..I am not normal in that I havent gotten used to the protien, veggies idea yet...too boring..till I can find something I llike..for breakfast I either have a good bowl of low cal cereal, or my no carb high protien choc drink,,it is very good. 50grms of protein, and 1 carb, in the choc. I use water. Then for lunch I have had tuna, on bread without crust, sliced turkey, and sliced cheese..taking alternate bites, fruit, and a SF pudding. Dinner is not that great..I like cottage cheese, with a banana, or some taco bell meat with refried beans..and a SF ice cream bar. I was still loosing 2lbs a week, and didnt do a diet before surgery at all..so I started at 310 the day of surgery and I am now fluctuating between 291 and 294, at just under 2 months. So, just about 20lbs. Only this week has been bad because I am always hungry and all the junk is looking good again..since I know I can, shouldnt, but can eat it..I had some cream of wheat and then my sons brought MCds breakfasts home and they gave them 2 extra hash browns..eww yes I ate them...so, I know it is time, I am so glad my 2nd fill is next week..Mond or Tues..geri:faint: :hungry:

I had my first fill on 2/12, and up until 3 days ago, it was not like I couldnt eat what I ate before, it was just that I seemed to got full faster. I was still snacking, but, still not eating as much. Now, it is really bad..I ate like 4-5 full sized chicken strips, and some girl scout cookies..I understand that the first 3-5 fills can be this way..my doctor doesnt expect a good weight loss, or even a weight gain the first 3 months after surgery.. I go in next week for my second fill and I know I need it..I have gained about 3 lbs...geri

My husband is a surgical nurse, and works in the OR..I had this happen to me once and actually tried to grab it out. The anesthia guy said everything is ok mrs. rowland, and I went back out..my husband says this happens because the sleeping and the waking are very close together..they have to make sure you can breath on your own before taking the tube out. So, they slightly wake you up and then take it out. It is possible to wake up a bit too much but they quickly put you back out..is nothing wrong..just a bit scary...geri

I got the choc isopure sat..and it has 2 carbs..and is very good..i got the big old bucket..my son is sharing it with me after his workouts...geri

I get my first fill tomorrow..I dont know what size I have..right now I can eat pretty much anything...I still stay away from the big heavy meals, but, have had a couple...I am hoping that doc will be somewhat aggressive with me...I am doing liquids today, and will tomorrow and tuesday too...I am not going to take any chances...geri

I go tomorrow for my first fill...I dont know how they do it there..they seem to be pretty confident about everything else, so, I am thinking no fluro...I will let you know..also WHAT AB muscles??? LOL>..geri
