You are the same age as me! I had my suurgery in Oct. Everything went smoothly. I heed another fill and am at a stand still. Just keep working on those last lbs. It will be so worth it. Welcome to our site.

I have high blood pressure, diabeties,high cholestrol,I also retain water and on two water pills Lasix& Hydrochlorothiazide.I was six lbs from goal and boom I swolle upand gained nine Lbs. over night something I ate must have had to much salt .I am now 14 Lbs from goal. seems like I'll never make It and I don't know what to do .I feel like such a failure 
jazz | Hi, Jazz!!
Why would you think you're too old to join???
No way!!
Jump in!!
The more the merrier!!
So are you saying you have to lose some weight before you can get the band?? My doc said he wanted me to lose 10% of my weight before he would do it, but he backed down on that. I did lose almost 20# prior to surgery, but a little short of the 10% goal, but he was very pleased about that. My BMI was 60+ and he really wanted to see it below that.. which I did accomplish prior to surgery. It's now been 9 months and TWO DAYS and I am down 75#, feeling great, cholesterol doing pretty good (168), BP down, and so HAPPY that I did this!! It was a wonderful decision and I only wish this surgery had been available to me a LONG time ago!!
Wasted years being morbidly obese!!
But, things are looking up and I want to live a long time at a healthy weight!!
I've had 4 band adjustments, the last one last week.. after six months away from home.. snowbirding in the desert in southern CA! Weight loss was slow the past couple of months, but on the move again since my fill last week!!

Any new pictures I am sure you have changed from your last one! You Rock Girl!  |  This is my 9 mos. photo. Not great... I see some differences, but I should have chosen other clothes for this picture... these are big, baggy, bulky sweater because it was so cold here and snowing on Sunday!! 75# down!! Woo hoo!!

Jazz | Slow, steady is okay.
It's a daily thing... diet, exercise.
My exercise right now is our new "Wii"!!
Just finished a game of bowling and 3 holes of golf!! I'm eating very small portions since my 4th fill last week.
Three small meals and a snack at night.
Very few carbs, mostly fish and veggies.

Phyl, you really do look great. I can really see the difference - even with baggy clothes, your face shows two things: losing weight BIG TIME, and HAPPY! You look beautiful! I'm so glad to hear you are doing so well.
I've taken the first steps - decision, application, scheduled for the psych evaluation next week, all other paperwork in - hope to be banded early this summer. You are my inspirational thought for the day!

I hope you don't mind if I jump in.I'm not quite 60 yet but real close to it. I was reading all about your weather. I think it would would be nice to cool off once in while. I live in Fl. and it has been 85 on my back porch for days now, I will probally melt this summer. I hope to get some of this fat off by then. Good luck with the cold.

Good luck with the cold. | Welcome, Linda! I bet it's sticky down there, too, huh?? We spend the winters in southern CA and I wish we'd stayed longer this year!! The sun is shining here now, though, and it's supposed to go up to 60 degrees tomorrow!! Whoppee!!

Phyll: You are looking great. Have you had any NSV like being able to sit in restaurant booths better. I actually got to cross my legs at he ankles. Yahoo. My WL has been very slow and steady. Aprox. 2 lbs per month with a 5.5 cc fill in a 10 cc band. Do you plan to have anymore fills. Doddie

City: Prescott State: AZ | Need some advice!
I have recently developed some gastric problems, pain in lower intestines that also seem to create nausea along with pain, I haven't done much different except exercising more. Any suggestions, it is mighty uncomfortable! Totally is making it hard to do anything.
