Russian_BANDit_inNY

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

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

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

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

One day and two nights till the surgery day YEEPEE

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

APPROVED APPROVED YEYYYY

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

Weekends on pre-op diet are NO FUN. Have to stop myself from stopping at the frig all day long .

Waiting for approval has began. If I am NOT approved - I will know next week. If I am - I will know in the next 2 weeks.

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

Tomorrow is the day.

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

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!!!!

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

I GAINED TWO POWNDS the day I switched to mooshies NOOOOOOOOOOOO

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

Almost fainted on my walk today. Have to remember to eat more. Can not believe I am forgetting to eat :-)

had 5 french fries - YUCK garbage... did not liked them before - really don't like them now.

75 days post-opp. Loosing avg 1.9 lb/wk. Still no fills & still happy with the band :-)

I AM BANDED!

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.
