Hi. I'm in Springfield and new to this. My surgery is scheduled for 10/22/07. A little nervous (...maybe more than a little...) but anxious to move forward.

Hi All,

Babbs.....How are you doing now ? I noticed your surgery was last month and just woundered how everything was going for you now.

Jennie....How did your fill go ? What did the doctor say ?

Kelly.....Are you still working out ? My husband and I are starting our walking again on Monday. I got myself new workout shoes on vacation .

I had a nice vist with my Mom . Shopped til I dropped .

It fills so good to be back home....and my little people ( my to cats ) are really glad mama is home. :mad:

Hi,Nice to meet you!I have mine done on Nov13 at Clinton.I am getting really nervous.Hearing about hair loss ,feeling sick all the time .Wondering if it is really worth it.I have done alot of studying on the subject the last 7 months.Now having secound thoughts.

Hi pjn2005

I had my surgery Jan.22 2007, In Mexico . I would do it over again if I had to. Try not to worry, or be too nervous; You should do fine. I never had any hair loss.....well yet. I think the hair loss you are talking about happens from the anisteia from surgery. Not every one loses their hair, only a few.

I'll be thinking of you on your surgery day.

Best of luck,

Terry

Hi everyone,

Who's up for lunch at panara's in old farm square ?

The first monday of the month falls on Dec.5th. Thats a thursday.

Terry

Hey everyone. I can't make lunch Monday, November 5th because I got squeezed in at the doctor that day. I hope everyone is available for Dec 3rd. See you then!

Think I will pass this month. My fill was just back up to 2 cc think I will be going back in a couple weeks still not loosing Jennie

Hi Everyone,

Well yesterday I had to go get an unfill. I was so tight I was having trouble getting down water. I hope this is the only thing wrong and I didnt slip.

I have to get my butt to the gym because my weight loss is really slowing down. When I get back from vacation I have an appointment to be refilled....about in three weeks.

Hi everyone! My name is Stephanie and I'm in Urbana. Haven't been banded yet but trying to get the ball rolling. Can't do it here at Carle b/c they are still waiting approval to become a center of excellence so will have to go to Peoria to have everything done.

Hi My wife and I live in Decatur. We had surgery 3 years ago. I just saw this thread. I think I know some of you.
