The spot is still there! I'm going to try to "run" over to his office around lunchtime tomorrow and have him take a look at it. Not easy to do in Houston traffic!!

jsrico- that is awesome!

Terry- What is the spot you are referring to?

This may be a dumb question...besides the surgery, Tuesday meetings, and fills, are there other services they offer? Not that the list is not enough.

I'm a bit of a slow loser I think.. Banded 11/28/06 current weight loss of 39lbs. That's very slow I think. I planning on attending one of the classes... I need to call to find out when the next one is.

By the way my sister and I were both banded by Dr. Spivak.. He and his staff are wonderful. My sister was banded 2/15/05 she lost 102 lbs..she did a commercial for him.. that's exciting :)...

Hi Terry ~

Were you able to see Dr. Spivak? If so, what did he say?

Hi ClynnC ~

I am a very slow loser too, and it is so discouraging! I was banded on 1-12-07 and have lost about 30 pounds. Dr. Spivak seems pleased with my loss and tells me all the time that losing slow is better. Let's hope so!

No, Lynn - I wasn't able to get over there on Thursday. The weather was horrible and besides, when I called to make sure he was going to be there over the lunch hour they said I might have to wait quite a while....that he was really busy. No way I could do that. I think the spot is fading now, but when I get a chance, I will go in and bring the pic with me.

Terry ~ I totally understand! I have been fortunate that I have not had to wait very long at his office, but I have read that others have. I always try to schedule my appt right after lunch, before they get behind. I truly hope the spot is nothing to worry about!

We leave for a 7 day cruise tomorrow and I am starting to stress! I put off starting to pack until today because I usually start too early and then spend so much time on it. Hopefully we'll end up with what we need on the ship! :)

I hope I am able to use my brain and not over-eat while on vacation this time! Even after the last fill, I think I can still eat too much. Maybe when the kids go back to school I'll try to take it up a notch and get a tighter fill and see what happens. I would really like to drop some serious pounds, but am not seeing that happen yet. Maybe I'm just too impatient . . .

Take care ~ I'll be off of here until at least next Sunday the 29th. And then I'll be doing laundry for a week I'm sure (teenage daughter!) . . .

before I go back for a tighter fill, I'm going to try to eat healthier. I find myself eating things that I'm not suppose to eat. It's really hard for me ot discipline myself. I started working out again yesterday. I'm going to try my best to stick to it this time. Wish me Luck

I had another fill yesterday--i'm now up to 4cc's.....I'm pretty restricted.. I hope this works.. Wish me luck.. Maybe instead of being a slow lose I'll be a mediocre loser.

      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!!
