I was also banded on November 18. My starting weight was 206 and with my liquid diet I lost weight fast.....40 pounds but in the last three months I actually gained a pound which is VERY depressing. for a couple of months I could eat anything and everything...last month I went for another fill and finally I have the restriction that I need. i am back on track.....exercise, no snacking, getting my water in. This month I still have not lost any weight but feel so much better about myself. Dont beat your self up....it will work if you make it work!!!

Okay so I am having my lapband done on November 18th. I am a liquid diet for a week prior to surgery. I dont feel hungry but I am so tired. I feel like I just got over the flu. I have no energy and I am so quick to bite my kids head off for little things. I hate the way I am feeling and how I am acting. On the POSITIVE side I am SOOO excited about Thursday. I am ready for the new me and the new attitude(hehehe). I know that all the things I have been growing thru the last 4 months....seminars, dr visits that are over 2 hours away, restricted diet, psych evaluation and my wonderful long preop visit.....IS WORTH changing my life. I can not wait to be a leaner, healthier mom!!! WHOOHOOO

I was very lucky....I have bcbs of IL and my paperwork was turned in on Monday Nov 1 and Nov 4, I was approved!! Yippeee I give a lot of credit to the girls at the dr office that knew exactly what to do!!!

I am thrilled to tell everyone that my insurance BCBS of Il only took 4 days to appove my surgery. I go for my pre op on November 11 and surgery Nov 18....not looking forward to a liquid diet but SOOOO looking forward to the new me!
