So I just had my fill Dr here completely unfill my lapband today. Total of 3.3cc taken out of a 4.0cc band. Did not feel like I had any restriction at all.

He began lecturing me that "you have not worked your lapband hard enough"

LOL.

OH...OKAY Mr Doctor who makes $375 on every fill that does not work. <_<

After five years of fighting with my band and putting all the weight back on, I will make sure and remember that a year from now.

I saved this article from yesterday as I have had this happen. 30 minutes in TJ without realizing I had not turned off my data package. 200 later.

I could have bought a great pair of shoes in 30 minutes. :unsure:

Your surgery will pay for itself. I'm happy for you.

will you be staying at the Marriott like the rest of us? I would imagine that you will be released to the hotel on the same night I fly in (the 9th).

It might be good if we all PM each other our first/last names and phone numbers so we can check on each other for support. I am guessing if I tell the Marriott "I am looking for 1hotmomma" they will think I have lost my mind. LOL

Yes, I am staying at the Marriott. I will send you a pm.

Am I the only one who needs to be on Xanax for my nerves? everyday I go between being very excited for this opportunity and going into the corner, curling into a ball and sobbing.

I am really not liking myself the past two days.

no. I have a Samsung Galaxy. We can always skype. However, I would have to get an account set up. I think we would all be doing so much better with our nerves if we could talk real time (well, at least I would feel better :rolleyes: )

I have Skype if u do want to chat. Somedays I think I look pretty damn cute & wonder if I NEED this ... Then I think I'm only a few months off the pills and have gone up rapidly. If I knew I would stay this size forever I would - but I'm def not ... I don't want to wait till I'm bigger which is inevitable. Pull out some old photos of your largest weight ... And keep it on the fridge x

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
