Thanks ladies...I thinking about braiding my hair in micros this weekend and saying to heck with it for a little while.

YAY!!!!

2 Miles today.....I cant beleive you guys are making me do this alone, But here I go walking away the pounds.......

Okay, I have 6.5cc in my band. Very.. very tight my hubby thinks I need an unfill. My last fill was .5cc. I can’t enjoy my food after 5 or 6 bites (less than about ¼ cup of food) I’m uncomfortable not stuck but uncomfortable. I can’t eat slider foods (yogurt, Protein shakes, string cheeses) but everything else gives me problems unless I eat bites about half the size of you pinky nail lol. I’ve been pb’ing like crazy. Sigh…… I see my doc on 08/26 thinking about getting .25cc taken out, but what will this mean… Come on family what do you think.

I posted this before i was banded since then I've lost 39 lbs. 44D to about a 40D and they are looking pretty perky. Hopefully it stays this way lol

Just the port for me too.

Congrats and Good Luck on your Journey!!!

I agree with the ladies above. I'm slow loser, only 39lbs since banded 03/07/2011. But I look like I've lost a lot more. I'm down 3 sizes in clothes due to inches lost. Good Luck.

I'm down 39 lbs since surgery. Went from a 18/20 (3x) shirt and pants to now a very baggy 16. I could probably get into a 14 pants, but I haven’t' tried yet no money lol. But my tops are 14.

Thanks ladies the idea sounds good, but to go natural I would have to do a big chop and cut off all my relaxed hair once. That’s a big decision…… any woman of any race to make.

Adjusting to the band is a great idea "not asking it to adjustment to me lol". I have 10 days before I see my doc I'm going to work on it.

If you are in the Greensboro NC area, where did you get banded? How much did you pay out of pocket? What was you experience and how was your doctor?

Hey, guys chicken is causing me all sorts or problems theses days..Is it just me? I keeps getting stuck

Hey my daughter was just 15 months on the day of my surgery. It was hard becasue I was told not to lift her but I managed. My hubby helped out during the afternoons and she was at daycare during most of the day. (It's more because of the stitches I was told). Can you afford daycare for a week? Good Luck!!

I don't know what restriction is but I have 6.5cc in my 10cc band and today I got full off an 8oz cup of food. So does this mean I good for a while???? (I feel like I'm about 2 spoon full's away from Thanksgiving dinner) lol.

Dave thanks for the article great resource..I now know that feeling stuffed is a no no... I should have stopped before that may a 1/2 cup or 3/4 cup. Thanks and please keep passing this along. I know I will
