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

      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!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
