Melissa, thank you for responding! You are so awesome! I am just a newbie, still learning before I talk to my PCP. I don't have a video--do you belong to any discussion groups, etc where I can find you? You're doing great and I'm so happy for you! Best wishes, Tammy
Hey there - I am on myspace search for itcomputerchick. Also I am in lady bandsters for yahoo as well as smart bandsters, dfwbandsters and lapband forum talk. lol. I am all over lol. Keep us posted on your journey. Hugs, Melissa :)
Hi Melissa, thanks for posting all these videos! I'm just starting my journey on LapBand WLS and in my research came across your videos. I've enjoyed watching and learning all about your experience. I'm a subscriber now so I look forward to more of your postings. Thanks and God Bless! -Tammy
Aww thank you so much for watching. You gotta keep us posted on your journey as well. Where r u in your process? Post a video so I can subscribe to you :) Also you have GREAT taste in music :) Hugs, Melissa :)
Oh really how was the recovery time? Were you in a lot of pain? How much weight have you lost to date? Sorry for the questions just love to hear other people's experiences :) Have a blessed day - Melissa :)
I was wondering that. I am guessing I will stick with the digital camera for now. Just got get some good editing software now :) Thanks again - Melissa :)
From what I know, lap band just makes so much more sense! It's way safer. They can adust it, so if you're body stops responding they can mak it smaller. Studies show people keep the weight off longer and better than bypass. And most of all, it's reversible!!!
Thank you so much for the kinds words :) I am excited and nervous about the whole thing. But the main thing is to lose it and keep it off so that does make me feel better :) Have a blessed day- Melissa :)
Not to be negative or agrumentative, but studies do not show that you keep the weight off longer and better than bypass. But it is a good thing to do for your health.
Melissa, this is also Melissa. You did a great job on your 1st vlog. Congrats on your WLS, Lapband. I had RNY Jan 23 2006- I lost 140lbs and had a tummy tuck April 16 2007 they cut off 10.9lbs. I am holding steady. GOOD luck with everything and if I can help or answer questions, please ASK away. Melissa
Oh my 140lbs!! That is awesome :) You are such an inspiration. Thank you so much for the kind words. How was the recovery on the tt? BTW love your name lol. Have a blessed day-Melissa :) PS your daughter is beautiful :)

awesome 1st vlog! you did fab! thanks for the shoutout! i'm only 2 months out... i'm wondering what people are going to say to me a year from now. LOL. good luck with your paperwork! i haven't heard from amelia yet.. i hope she's okay.
Oh you are so welcome for the shoutout :) you and amelia and slmnsongbrd have been such an inspiration to me. You are doing so awesome for only 2 months out wow. Please keep me posted if you hear from amelia. Thank you so much for the sweet vlog i was shaking and fidgeting. i do that when i get nervous lol
LOL. amelia is out of recovery and she did well. so, she's okay! YAY! rebecca is awesome too. she had her surgery a week after me i think... or maybe just a few days. it's so weird how there's a little WLS group of friends on you tube. =)
YaY! I am so happy :) That is such good news. I am bad w/ reg names unless they are mentioned in the videos lol. so is rebecca screen name mmmrebecca or something like that? sorry for so many questions. I know exactly how you feel about the wls group of friends. My local friends here really dont get the whole wls. And the other heavier ladies i know look at me like i betrayed "my kind" lol. oh well...cant wait to be a loser lol
being a loser is awesome. screw everyone else. there are 2 rebeccas in our little group. there's rrrrrrbecca, who hasn't posted in forever. she's my WLS twin- had hers the day after mine. and slmnsongbrd is rebecca too.. and she had hers a few days after mine. and don't apologize for questions! asking questions is how you learn things!
LoL love your attitude :) K got it now yes rebecca does look so good you can so tell that she is losing like crazy too. You are so sweet to answer my questions. I appreciate that :)
