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!

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!

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

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.

Welcome back and congrats on the success.

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

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]

[Banded2BFern]

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]
