Penni & Teresa, I hope you guys see this since it's in response to your posts on Alex's thread. Thank you so much for doing the research for me.

Dr. Kuri called me, and he did not check for erosion. He suggested I get a scopey if I'm worried. But unless something weird happens, I'm not making an appointment for one. I figure I'll let my band do the talking, and unless it's screaming at me, I'm going to leave it alone.

However, just to make sure I worried till I fell asleep, last night I lost all restriction. BOOM, gone. First time. Last night was my first mini binge since being banded. After dinner, I kept eating chicken from the roasting pan. Then I ate 2 Pringles (that's all that was left) then I ate 1/4 cup chile with chips, then 3 Cookies, then a few ounces beef jerkey. I have no idea where that came from or why it happened. Zero restriction. I could have kept eating. That's the first time since my band that I got out of control. I went to bed a little uncomfy, but no reflux or horrible pain.

I just ate a Protein bar this morning and feel it in my sternum, so maybe I have a little restriction back. Damn, I certainly hope so. But even without restriction, what the hell happened to my willpower last night? Worry warts eat it?

Get this, Sara at Dr. Billy's office said that even altitude affects restriction. She says people get fills at one altitude, but once they get home to either lower or higher, their restriction can change a lot. Now I have to wonder if bariatric (haha, I mean barametric) pressure works the same way.

We have a storm coming, and it always makes my eyes hurt. Our funny little bands might even be affected by lightening or the tides!

I'm on the UP portion of the rollar coaster right now so I just LOVE everyone... I love you guys!!!! Can you imagine if I had a drink while being this happy/lovey dovey???? Holy Crap... Did I mention... I really love you guys!!!!!!!!!! Remind me of this next week when I'm blubbering and hating the world okay????? I have to go kill a carrot now but I promise to knock it out first!!!! Teresa... now worries... I love ya! Okay... I think my Zoloft dosage is way to high...hehehehehehe.

Teresa your crying is normal...I have told Lisa on several occassions that my emotions are out of control. My therapist warned me of this...

I guess I used to eat instead of cry before the band. So now that I do'nt eat...I cry. It's just my emotions coming out instead of me hiding them with food. makes sense right? I now longer eat for comfort or emotional reasons..so my emotions are all coming to the surface. It does get better as time passes... for me it was mainly the first 2.5 months. I seem to be doing much better these days except my PMS week and then WATCH OUT!

It's normal...

You are not driving anyone crazy either...you are to sweet to do that.

We should just have a crying, screaming, ranting, hitting (bring nerf bats), raving mad, fits when we are all in Vegas in October. Hey Lisa know anyone on the police force there. I am sure we will get calls. We have to forewarn them of our ritualistic dances so we won't get arrested.

We can have a ball. Take all our frustrations out. Get our emotions out. LOL!!!!

Then go home and do it all again next month. LOL!!!!

I just love all you guys.

I'm all weepy and I love you guys too.. crying,, laughing... wondering when my birds will SHUT THE F UP. I forgot to cover them last night, so they woke me up before my time. Boo hoo, I love you, hahahah. Feelin' a little crazy.

Penni, stop worrying about getting arrested. Who needs a police contact when I work in a law firm? Duh, 24 hour representation here! Party on, Garth.

Why the F are tears running down my face? Seriously? I'm not even in a bad mood. Just feelin' the love, babies, feelin' the love.

Penni, we could sit around making "your mamma" or "your daddy" insults at each other. I'll start: I called your daddy a homo and he threw his purse at me!

Hey, I can say that cuz 2 of my best friends are gay and they taught me that one.

ROTFLMAO!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm not crying, but I love all you guys too.

Penni, did you slip in "NEXT MONTH"?!?!?! OMG - I can't imagine doing this EVERY MONTH!! No, my mind just can't wrap around that concept... owwww it's like brain freeze, only warmer... lol

Party on, Garth!!!

lol

Well I wasn't weepy, but now I feel like crying......... except when I wrote that I cracked up and started laughing... You all want to know something I do that is hilarious............

When I am in the grocery store and one of those snooty bitches that look like she just bought her stuff at some fancy store is pushing her basket like it has cooties on it, ya know the type right? Well I fart on her isle............yep........... then I double back to see how she reacts........It is so damn funny. I walk up and down the isle after that kinda looking around and you should see how funny it is... I laugh my way through the store. My daughter won't walk with me. I don't do this all the time, I am not always crude, in fact you would never know I do this to look at me.. That is why it is so funny.

My daughter said, I share toooooo much... Oh well... that me.

OH MY GOD!!!!!!! I am laughing so hard right now I am gonna have to go pee. LOLOLOLOL

I have done this. But to my Mom. I get really close to her and put my arm around here and then let er rip. Then run. She just laughs and laughs.

That's tooooo funny.... It makes life fun anyway....

Okay... I did pee!!! Dang it you guys... now I am going to have to do laundry so that I can put on clean underwear!!!!

Grossly soaked Darcy

Just be thankful you didn't rip a stitch. LOL!!!!!

Home sweet home... dying from laughing. Husband has me stressed out (what's new?) Wound leaking. Dinner burning, dog dying to go swimming, phone ringing... typical. So I come here to get away and pee my pants again. Gotta go change. Glad I'm not the only 12 year old around here. I take my neighbor's kid out who is 14 and my best friend. Me & Mekha walk around playing "you sat in something." Just tell people as you walk by "hey, yous at in something" then hide and watch them chase their tails. Party on, Wayne.

Just tell people as you walk by "hey, you sat in something"

ROTFLMAO!

Good to know I will NOT be in H3LL alone!!!

Okay, now I DID RIP A STITCH!! ouchy ouchy ouchy....

Donali, you'll have plenty of company in that hot basement! We'll have the Devil himself in stitches!
