WLS: Lapband 23 Month Update--unfill, weight gain, and full body

[Danygir1]

Thank you sooooo much for being an inspiration to all of us!!! You can't imagine how much you've helped me already and I'm just starting my lap-band journey. Thank you for sharing your experience with us too. You make me so excited to start. The most that I liked is that you didn't sugar coat any of the journey. You let us know when you were sick, and you shared all your ups and downs with the lapband system. Thanks so much!

Your body looks great you sexy thing . Just had my surgery yesterday I am banded now xoxo Fern

[jennijohns]

Hey girl...your videos are inspirational AND informative...you really remind me of my FB friend that has a lap band fan page in so many ways. You keep it real and stay focused just like her. Your progress is phenomenal. Keep up the good work. Check out her Lap Band Fans Page on FB...she keeps it short and sweet and on point like you do. Take care!

seeing your boyfriend HAPPINESS makes you not want to eat... 'I KNOW THE FEELING" it feels soo good  Love the feeling..

[trublackbeauty1]

I'm glad that ur back u look wonderful I am sending good wishes I have a feeling that u will engaged and marry real soon

[SunnyRain247]

Wow you look great. 17 pound gain in 2 weeks - isn't it amazing what an unfill can do!?. I can tell you Emergency Medicine doctors get ZERO training in Lab Band - that's a specialty. Don't go to the emergency department thinking you are going to get help and I'd be afraid if one tried to help. Only let a medical professional trained in lap band procedures touch your lap band. You are such an inspriation. Great to see you back. Keep coming back so we can send those engagement vibes your way. :)

yep when I went to emergency I called my doctor first and he met me at the ER and they register me in the hospital and they still want $440 from me and they did nothing from me and they got my insurance to pay $2000 and still trying to collect. I told them to kick rocks. When I got an unfill then I did gain but I got a fill and lost it back. Keep up the good work. i lost 60 pounds in a year. not much. maybe later.

[shavmarc]

Welcome back and congrats on the success.

[BeckyInCa]

Sending "put a ring on it" thoughts your way.

[msdeev1]

Hey Girl, Missed you and your enthusiasm . So glad to see you checking in and still in control.

I just had my band placed on 8/16 and your vids have been so inspirational to me. I thought I had lost you. Congrats to you for all your accomplishmens.

Be glad those ER Dr's didn't touch you they may have messed your band up.

UR SO PRETTY! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!

[msbuzzyful]

OMG!! I can so relate to you! I'm also short (5'4"), I have a new boyfriend, And my goal is 145. I've never really had any restriction. I got a fill two weeks ago maybe that will help. I had gained 18lbs when i went in for the fill. That put me at 178!!! I had gotten as low as 154(the last weight at my dr was 160). Any way two weeks later I'm down to 168. Keep posting PLEASE!! Your such an inspiration! Good Luck with the weight loss and the man :)

[melijean36]

Thats off the hook! Glad to hear from you!

[Banded2BFern]

It was great 2 c after gaining all that weight that you kept on going and were very positive

You Go girl!!!!!!

[bandedwendy]

lmao! "running water over my lips". you are hysterical! that ER experience was NUTS! 17 lbs is INSANE! Good for you and not losing your focus with the unfill, the gain and getting it back down to 155.8. Can you believe it has nearly been 2 years? WOW! You look fantastic and sound even better. Ya know that i got the ROCK, right? So it has to be YOUR TURN NEXT!!! I am sending you all the good energy for engagement that I have. . .can you FEEL IT COMING AT YOU!?! thanks girl! ONWARD!!!

[naira43055]

hello my dear usalbgirl, I am so glad to watch your video finally. You know, I am more concerned for your health, rather than a few pound more or less. The minute you said you were in pain in emergency, I was more concerned about possible complications, you never know. So, just take care yourself, even if you lose weight very slowly, it is ok. I heard that the last a few pounds are the hardest to lose. Dont worry. You are like always sweet and funny. i wish the best. Love. Naira

[Lyric4L]

I missed you girlie... By the way.... YOU KNOW why you loose alil weight..lol

[Lyric4L]

Yay, so glad to see you back, sorry to hear about your band, 17lbs is a heck of a lot, i would have been scared too.You light up when you talk about your boyfriend. I do pray you get a ring...I'll definitely do a happy dance for you When you make your goal on your surgiversary :)

I'm glad your back! Why did your band get so tight out of now where?

[bandedbeautiful7]

LOVE LOVE your videos!!! Thanks for making one. I was just thinking how I hadn't seen you in a while. You look great diva!! :))

[auntie1962]

OMG you look soooooo good....i'm so glad to see you...i needed to see you are one of the women I look up to.....and I don't want any more surg either...soooooo it was good to see you....thanks for making the video..

[kacykwinn]

17lbs in 2 weeks!!!!! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaah! -Congrats on pushing through to get back to the pre-unfiill weight. You will be to goal any time now. Very exciting! :)

[jenontheband]

You are as HONEST as they come sweetheart! So fun to watch your videos! Thanks for sharing the emergency story...it's good to know so if it ever happens I'll know how to handle it. My weight loss is super slow like yours was so I like following your story. You look terrific! Good luck on the goal!

[lbjnieka]

Hey Lady. I missed you. I LOVE your videos because you are so funny but uncut and raw and I LOVE IT.

[SheSingsLovely]

I know you said you haven't told your boyfriend about your band, but have you told him yet? Are you still waiting to tell him until you get married (god willing). I'm single and dating with the band (1 year now and 56 lbs down) and I always find myself gauging when I'll tell a guy about my band. The guy I'm most interested in knows about my weight loss but not about my band. If he and I ever become official, I may tell him then...but it's something I always feel like I need to hold off on.
