This year has been great so far........ I had my lap band on the 10th

and things have been going well. I have also quit dipping... that is

a little harder, but getting throught it...

And oh yeah last Friday I had three root canals and Dang! This has been

a tough year so far!

My mini goal for weight is 300 by the end of March. My goal for dipping is to stay stopped! And my goal for my root canals.... is never have another one EVER!!

Those are good goals and it sounds like you are doing fine. I just ask for gas at the dentist and I love every minute of it...no kidding! That stuff is awesome!

Congrats on the banding. I work for a dentist. You've been through the worst part. The rest will be easy. I agree with SFeiner. Ask for the gas. It works well!

what is dipping?

Good for you!

2007 was my "Start to get healthy and take care of myself" year.

I got my band and 2 root canals I've been putting off forever!! I also started taking vitamins and exercising. It feels great! I've even upped my 401K deductions because now I feel like I'm going to live a much longer life :biggrin:

Well right now the teeth are fine the weight is coming off at an okay rate.... but the copenhagen withdrawls are BAD!!! I did go to the doctor and he called in Chandix for me that is helping.

My wife and I call this my year also.

GReat Job!! 85 pounds since August that is WONDERFUL!!!!!!!
