Anyone going to Great Falls??

Siena, $55 is a great deal!! I'm at the point with my band that it's now up to me to do the work. It's time to exercise and watch closer what I eat. Since my fill I've lost about 4 pounds. It should be more but it's now up to me. You'll find that after your banded drinking liquid isn't so bad. I loved frozen sugar free popsicles. It seemed to help the soreness inside. Are you going to the April support group in GF? I would like to but it's so far away. We'll see. I'm on spring break that week. I might need a road trip. Well I better go. Keep in touch. Sharon

Sharon, Do not cut yourself short, 4 lbs is a lot. You are doing great. I can not loose a pound to save my life right now. I am sure when I go on the pure liquid diet I will loose that week. I do not think I will go to any support meeting till after I have the surgery. I do plan on meeting up with Teri who had surgery in Feb. She lives in Bozeman and we have been talking quit a bit. I am counting down the days 6 weeks and 4 days till surgery. Well I better get back to work. You are doing great. Keep up the good work. Although you looked great when we saw you. Please keep in touch. Bye for now Siena

Hey Sharon, i had my band surgry April 2nd. There was a cancellation so they moved me up 6 weeks. I had surgery on Monday, Swallow test on Tuesday and I was back to wrok on Wednesday. I am doing great. I have my first fill May 9th. Just wanted to upate you.

Hey sharon, I had surgery April 2nd. Lisa got a concellation and moved me into that spot. When is you next fill date. Mine is May 9th.

Hello, I hope you are doing well. I've been down and out lately. I haven't lost any weight since my fill in March and last Monday ended up having knee surgery so I've been sitting around and eating. I need to get back on schedule. As soon as my knee heals I want to ride my bike. I want to get another fill but it runs me about $325.00 by the time I'm done with fills and traveling. My husband is against it. I got my fill in the am. and I think I should have waited until pm so I wasn't so tight in the am. Oh well. Keep me intouch with how your doing. Sharon

Sharon, I am so sorry that you had to have knee surgery. I have had 5 knee surgeries, I have a total knee replacement on my right leg and other surgeries on my left. That was my main reason for having the lap band. I know it is so hard to stay down afterwards, but it is so important to your healing you knee. What exactly did you have done? I have to say if you think you need a fill, and it sound as if you do, you need to do it. Think of how much you have put into this so far. You need to keep going and reach your goal. This was a life time commitment. YOu have come to far to stop now. Get a fill and then keep online and get the support from all of us that are going through the same thing. I have gotten so many suggestions and support from several sites. You looked great when we saw you but it sounds as if your at a stand still and disappointed. You need to focus on all you have lost and how far you have come. You have come so far and lost so much weight. Let me know how you are doing. please Siena
