Hi everyone.

I just signed up today and wanted to welcome you to my computer.

I guess to you, I am the newbe, but to me, you are all newbe's.

I had my lap-band installed in September of 2002. I weighed 327 :hungry: prior to the surgery and am 233 now:scared:. I am 5'9" and would like to get down to 180. I would also like to hit the lottery. I came here because my daughter-in-law got tired of hearing me complain about my lap-band problems and tired of seeing me spitting up food everytime we eat together. So she figured she would find a sight for me to get some help. Nosey, ain't she?

I'll post my problems in the appropriate places and I may even be able to help others by answering some questions.

How come this forum doesn't have a spell-checker?

okay, tiredoldmman--you are right--you aren't a newbie. I am a newbie/banded may 11th. hope the info works both ways....why are you throwing up all the time? is that something that has happened recently for you? welcome to lap band talk. :biggrin1: there is also a thread on here somewhere for anyone age 50 and up...i post on it too---maybe you could give us some insights of yours on that thread also....

I've got a big mouth, so I'll be slinging as much info as I know.

why are you throwing up all the time? is that something that has happened recently for you?

If I knew the answer to that, I would be charging people for the advice, not paying the doctor to do an endoscopy on me two days from now.:cry

Thank You for the welcome and I will give the "Old-Timer's" section a look.

Hey there and welcome!

I hope you get your issue figured out. Maybe keep us updated on that so that we can watch for it down the line?

I had my endoscopy today

My doctor informed me that I tested negative for H. Pylori.

So in about a month, I will see how my weight is doing and then decide what to do about a fill.
