Hey! You're too young to work at WalMart! I'll keep my fingers crossed for the job in the medical office. I think the healthcare field is one of the few...
Hi Everyone:  It has been a while since I posted, I hope everyone is doing ok. I was catching up on all of the emails and found the one regarding eating...
I think I have felt that "fullness" or whatever it is before too. It's almost like that pain from the gas in your body after the surgery. Patsy In a message...
My daughter and I had Mucho Nachos from Taco Bueno today for lunch and they went down so well and like the rest of you I seem to be able to eat more of that...
Dear Sandy~ You are so right about being able to eat a lot less. I used to be able to eat a BIG serving of nachos supreme... I wonder if my band is not right...
Patsy...OMG! When I think back at what I used to be able to consume in one meal it's down right scary. We went to a mexican place a few nights ago and I...
They package all kinds of brands there. They do some Sargento I am sure, I don't know what types yet. A lot of Kraft too. I like to stick with the same thing...
I'm on the same boat. I got laid off on March 16th. I was working for the company for 10yrs. The only thing that keeps me going right now is that I feel...
Good job Victoria! I would love to see a size 12 someday! Right now I vary between 20 and 22, closer to 20. I used to be a tight 26. Patsy In a message...

CONGRATULATIONS KATIE. 35 pounds in 2 months is amazing, and with the stress of unemployment on top of it all. Give yourself a huge pat on the back, girl. You...
I am glad you feel so much better Katie! I am working as a temp right now. It seems like once they start calling, they call all at once. I have had three...

Hi I am new to the group and talking with my doc and insurance about having the lap band done. Would love feedback on how people are doing, what questions I...
I would think you would want a doc that has quite a few of these surgeries under his belt and just be really, really certain that your insurance will pay for...
Sandy, Thanks so much for your response. I understand the "gut feeling" very well. The surgeon that I am working with also has had several hundred surgeries...
Wow! You are so far ahead for this. It will be such a bonus for you to already have a relationship with your Dr and his staff. Normally I'm a little...
I have had a few surgeries too and know that aprehension. I have a calm about this though that is really hard to explain. I know that it will be a difficult...
My weight loss has not been as rapid as some, but admittedly is my own fault. I was slow to get fills, haven't exercised as I should (partially due to some...
Dear Sandy, I haven't had a fill in almost a year and I think it's time. I am like you and not losing fast. I have a hard time getting some foods to stay...
Hi! Patsy...How's your "temp" job going? I hope it's okay while you're waiting for the medical job to open up for you.  It had been about 16 months since...
After reading this, I definitely know that I need to have it adjusted. I have moved to another town and have the number of the Bariatric Services person here. ...
