(Hello everyone)

Lisa

LOL TOO FUNNY LISA

AWESOME DEB!!! WAY TO ROCK THE SCALES

I'M NEVER KEPT THE BAND SO TIGHT THAT IT COULDN'T RESTRICT ANY FOODS. BUT ALOT OF PEOPLE HAVE PROBLEMS WITH BREAD, PASTA, RICE ETC. SINCE YOUR HAVING PROBLEM WHEN EATING THOSE TWO IDEAS, JUST MAKE SURE YOU TAKE IT SLOW AND EASY UNTIL YOU KNOW FOR SURE YOUR NOT JUST HAVING ISSUES WITH THOSE OR TOO TIGHT

I was banded over two years ago. I initally lost 40 pounds in the first couple of months, but I have not lost any weight in over a year. I would like to join a support group so I have people to talk to. I totally feel like I wasted all that money. Please let me know if you know of a support group in this area. Thank you.

JUST POSTING HERE HELPS. JUST KINDA KEEPS YOU IN CHECK

YOU LOOK FAB THERE MS DEB!!! YOUR GOING TO LOVE YOUR NEW BODY

BEST OF LUCK NEXT THURSDAY, I'M SO LOOKING FORWARD TO FRIDAY

Looking for Dr'sin the pacific Northwest who do fluroscopy fills. I live in Portland Oregon but am willing to travel a little if necessary max about 300 miles.

DR NEAL IS IN OLYMPIA http://www.pacsurgical.com/results.htm

AND I KNOW THERE'S A GAL OUT OF THE PORTLAND AREA. I'M SURE SOMEONE WILL COME UP WITH HER NAME

LOOKS LIKE DR KELLY DOESN'T USE FLUOROSCOPY

Ballew,

I would love to hear more about your experience with the band and any experiences of those banded for more than 1 year. The challenges of those with long term bands are different than the newly banded. I have had my band 19 months now, and have been at goal for about a year. I fluctuate 3 lbs, but can see that my eating habits have changed, and worry that the weight will just gradually start creeping back. Any long banded people out there?

THE WEIGHT WON'T COME BACK ON IF YOU DON'T LET IT. YOU HAVE THE TOOL, USE IT IN GOOD HEALTH. I'M ALSO 4 YEARS OUT AND WOULDN'T DREAM OF LIVING WITHOUT IT. I HAVE VERY LITTLE FILL, .8? IN A 4cc BAND WHICH JUST BARELY KEEPS ME IN CHECK

1) Im staying overnight bc were making a weekend of it, and also, want to make sure I am not too tight the next morning. The last time I was @ OCC for a fill, they told me to go back to full liquids for 3 days, but I want to make sure Im not too tight, so should I attempt solids the next morning before departure?

USUALLY YOU STAY ON LIQUIDS AFTER YOUR FIRST FILL. YOU SHOULD BE GOOD FOR A MEAL TO TEST THE WATERS AFTER THIS ONE GOOD LUCK

I mean I am 5'11 and 240#s so my BMI is 33.5. I have known others who have gotten banded and they all seemed bigger to me than I am now.

MY BMI WAS 33 ALMOST 4 YEARS AGO NOW. THIS TOOL WAS PERFECT FOR ME

Are we ever going to see the webinar Dr Ortiz did on plastic surgery after weight loss. Seems like we have been waiting forever

I'D LOVE TO SEE IT ALSO DEB, I'VE BEEN CHECKING IN BUT HAVEN'T SEEN ANYTHING AS OF YET

First day back to work and the looks I am getting is priceless!!! Haaa love it

Kim
