Russian_BANDit_inNY

Had my first check up today. All good. They told me I am on track with my weight loss... Really??? I see people loosing so so much more...

had my first slice of pizza post band. Now want another one - but cannot because that will almost finish my calories for today.

Have to be in the hospital 8:30 AM tomorrow. YAYKS I mean YEEPEE... Oy vey

HELP any sugestions on how to get away from this site and clean my house, do shopping?! :-)

Hi I am four days till my pre-op diet... Will you be banded @ NYU?

Hi NJGirl - I had mine done @ NYU and very happy with my choice.

Hi, I just got my band ...less tan 24h ago - NYU dr Fielding.

how did you add View My Lap Band Profile and View Dr. Korman's Profile to your forums posts ? THX for the help!!

I AM BANDED!

I am frustrated. Just checked my 2011 Health Insurance card. They switched from Empire BCBS to Anthem BCBS. I just went from no insurance requirements to a 5 year history AND 6 month supervised diet AND 5% weight loss before approval. FRUSTRATED!!!!

I AM GAINING NOOOOOOOO

I am less scared now than a week ago. And the liquid diet does not seem so bad today.

I GAINED TWO POWNDS the day I switched to mooshies NOOOOOOOOOOOO

I have good and better days. Today is a better day. I am 0.5lb away from removing "Morbidly" from my obesity status :-)

Just finished 4mi walk... Took a while - 2h. But I am on my way to full recovery YEY me!!!!!

Keeping fingers crossed - if Insurance approves - Mid Feb surgery YEY

Looking for buddy/mentor in Brooklyn NY and/or Woodbridge NJ

my scale stuck @ 239... morning, night, after/before #2, after before meals GRRR Time to lower calories and bump up cardio

No longer Morbidly Obese! One month ahead of schedule & with no fills. Yey Me! Next goal - NOT to be Obese (that is going to take a while)

Ok so here goes ... I had to go on the 2 day liquid/no eating. So I did, i am trained dieter after all :-) On the 3rd day (procedure day - not lap band surgery) I came home for the time of dinner. I could not wait to eat and could not decide what I really really really want. Then a weired and unfamiliar question popped up in my head "Am I hungry?" I had a cup of water to think about it.

One day and two nights till the surgery day YEEPEE

Over one week on pre-opp. Under a week to the surgery. Hate the pre-op diet.

Pre-op diet start tomorrow - good luck to me :-)

Scale moved YEY !! 2weeks of no movement is not pleasant :-( But It was my BirthD and I celebrated in 3 states hehe... and ate more than I wanted - so what can I expect?!?! Now back to normal back to loosing YEY

Thx all!. I am doing OK, had complication(related to an old surgery) so had to stay overnight. Dr Fielding is a Rock Star of laparoscopic banding. I am sure if it was any other doc I would need an open surgery.
