Nope. All you need to do is go to friends, add a friend, type in your username (judych1946) then you add the username of the person you want to add ( for example: iluvyogi). It should work. ;)

I sent you a request to be friends. All you need to do is accept or ignore. Please accept ;)

yep... thanks..I do accept. i think ive got it sorted now.. (( hugs ))

I was banded March 13, and am down almost 30 lbs. But I feel sick to my stomach constantly. Has anyone else experienced this.

Down 30 pounds is great!! I get the nauseous feeling every couple of weeks. I will have a few days where I barely want to eat and the thought of food makes me feel sick.

Hello march banisters, I am checking in too. Down 20 lbs since preop diet. Surger date 3-21-12 . I am pleased. Not able to exercise at all because of painful knee. Slow but steady lore. I have hope for a better, healthier life. Best to you all and keep up the good work. Melvan

Oops, SORRY FOR TYPOS....getting used to new iPad. Melvan

I am going for my third fill today. Was banded 3-1-12. Has some issues with my first fill and had to have it removed for two weeks (terrible heart burn). Had no issues with 2nd fill (2 weeks ago). Getting married on Saturday so wanted another fill before cake because I have no restriction at all in the evenings. Only at breakfast. I am down 40 lbs so far so can't complain. Best thing I ever did for myself!

I was banded on 3/20 and will be going for my first fill on 4/23. I have lost about 35lb since starting my pre-op diet. I am back to the gym and feeling great!

Can u use cream or cocoa butter on the scars. What do u guys use.

I am having issues with pain. I have fibromyalgia and am in constant pain. I need to lose more weight and maybe my knees won't hurt.

Think I finally found my "full/stop eating" sign... I start burping....

I start with hiccups. After I hiccup, I can only have about 1-2 bites after that. Burlington happens if I try and push it.
