Got banded in Springfield MO??

[legster 2]

Just can't imagine the whole PB thing in public. We need to come up with something else to call that because it is ruining Peanut Butter for me.

That's too funny! :confused:

Crazy weather here in Blue Springs tonight. But I'm sure you guy are used to that by now.

Lost another 9 pounds since my last appointment. Doc went ahead and gave my .3 fill. He went ahead and checked what I had in my band and now I have a total of 7.3 in my 10cc band. I'm feeling good about that too. This should hold me for awhile. Had a long talk with him and I feel a whole lot better about some stuff that I had read. It was a really good visit.

Hope all is well with everyone.

Hi everyone, i haven't been on computer much lately.....summer, kids, & work keep me very busy..........anyway I had my first fill last week on Monday (1 1/4 in a 4 band) so I am feeling alot more restriction, have had a few things stuck, MAJOR pain, but no PBing or slimming, I'm scared to death for that to happen, so I try to be very careful. Funny thing is I never noticed until I was banded how eating is sooooo different, I have been catching myself puttung another bite into my mouth b4 I have swallowed and chewed up the first one. Then I think about how bad it hurt when something got stuck, dont want that to happen again.

Suziecat- Dr Malley's office all seem very cool, my next fill is on June 30th at 2:15 so maybe we can meet then, my friend Julie and I were banded together so we will have our appts. at the same time(need company on our 3 hr drive to KC) we planned on leaving early to shop or mess around b4 appt. so let me know.........Down 26 lbs total so far in 9 weeks...Cindy

Go to LBT Forum, Suggestions, Feedback & Questions - then Ticker Tutorial (With Pictures) - it is dated 9/25/07 2:24 PM by Ready4it. That is what is used to get mine up and running. It was very helpful. Let me know if you have any problems.

SusieCat, I am glad your dr. helped explain some things that concerned you. Do you care to share what they were? I am waiting to be banded some time in July by Dr. Edwards, so I am still doing research while waiting and finishing all the pre-op requirements. Would appreciate any input you might be willing to give. Thanks.

Hi everyone. I just wanted to post on here... its been a little while. I have lost a total of 25 pounds since my surgery (5-9-08). My first fill is June 19th, 2008. I am kindof nervouse and excited at the same time. Anyways need to get some vitamins... Hope your all doing well! See yah!

Holly, for me the fills are just a non-event. Nothing to be nervous about. If you avert your eyes, you don't even have to see the needle. Let us know how it goes!

Congrats on the 25 pounds. Good job!

finally got the picture off my pad!!

Congratulations on getting your date!!! Please (secretly, of course) give your hubby a hug for me. It will make all the difference that he's willing to help you along on this journey.

I just can't believe how fast the last year went by. You will be amazed, too!

I like the powdered Meal Replacement shakes that you can get at Healthy Weight Supermarket. Especially in the summer, when you make them in the blender with ice and maybe some fruit, they are so filling and refreshing. I usually get the big box that seems kind of expensive, but since each packet gives 35 grams of Protein I only use half each time. Okay great...now I'm hungry! The owner of HWSM will help you with any questions you might have and don't forget to ask for the Dr. Edwards discount (10%!).

Another one I like is the EAS Advantedge Carb Control pre-made shakes. I get them at Walmart by the pharmacy. At the one on Independence (James River) they are across the aisle from all the others and on the bottom shelf. They have silver packaging, so look for that if you decide to try them.
