Congrats Jeni!

Kim do you have any liquid tylenol? that helped me (except when i forgot i had just been banded, rolled over and tried to pick up a blanket from the floor in the middle of the night. OOOUUCCHH)

Since November is almost over should we try to get together in early December for a holiday lunch?

Kimillion, I would also recommend Dr. Meyer. I, too, live on the southside of the city. Though I have not yet obtained the band (scheduled for Jan 2008), I have thus far, had a great experience with Dr. Meyer.

As an FYI, most of the area hospitals offer the surgery. Day One Health impressed me because they were an outpatient surgicial center, and they seem to focus exclusively on lap bands.

i love the toyota of naperville on ogden folks - esp the service guys when i go in for my oil changes. we have 7 scions now in the family butweve all gone different places...

We had popeyes for dinner tonight. Last night was dinner with Dave's family so I didn't have any leftovers either...sucks. I'm having Christmas here, so I will have goodies afterwards.

Did anyone go shopping today? I got some really good deals, but now I'm exhausted. I'm sick, lacking sleep and didn't get coffee until lunch. I need sleep. ~Mandy

      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
