  1. Happy -- Birthday Lcuy!

  2. I was nervous and excited all at the same time. For me it was very easy. I had surgery at 7:30aam and back in my room by 9:30am. Then the walking started and I was home by 10:30 am the next day. I loved my surgeon and she was really good with info of what to expect. I have had no problems since. I have had about 5 fills since March and beleive the last one in Sept has been thoe tightest I have ever been. I go this week but will pass on the fill til next appt. Best of luck and stay in touch.
  3. This is too funny! I live in Palmyra just out side of Charlottesville, and about 45 mims from Richmond. Where in Mississippi do you live? I have lots of family and vist a out every 3 months there. Such a small world!
  4. Hi Aqua, Would love to meet up with u but right now the storm and have some renovations in our new house and having to be home for the workmen. If on face book private msg me and we can talk if you like.
  5. Hi, I am from Pascagoula,ms but no longer live there. I was banded Jan 2012. I now live in Va.
  6. Hi, I also had Dr KatienTrhan. I am 9 months out and they are the best. I have been to several of the support groups. Not many people show up. Smothers more we can find and try together would be great. I am also off all my meds after 3 months. It is the best thing you will do for yourself . Good luck!

  8. Hi Twinskin, I have TriCare North. I had to do the same. I also had to to some other weigh in as my height was different at 3 different appt. hang in and it will happen. It took me 9 months from start to finish. I am now 6 months out and still have no regrets. I would do it all over again . So hang in a little longer and stay on top of it. Good luck.

    New Here!

    Hi, I am almost 4 months out. Down 25 pds. I to was a smoker and after I went to the. Rife and knew that if I didn't quit my surgeon wouldn't do the surgery I went to my primary Dr and started on Chatix. I had to take smaller dose than required but did it. I also bought an E-Cig and haven't smoked in over a year. It is hard but put your goal first. This is the only thing I was willing to give up smoking for. I also had to give up Diet Coke. Good luck! You will make it!

    Banded 4/26/12

    I am doing great. Down 26pds ans have 20 more to go. I had 3 cormobidities and for my height and BMI my insurance approved me. I am as of next Wednesday off all meds. So it has been soooo worth everything. I just had my first fill 2 weeks ago and not sure it has restriction as much as I thought but I am stable on weight and not gaining. How are you doing?

    Banded 4/26/12

    Gas-X worked wonders for my shoulder gas pain. It has been 3 months ago yesterday . Good luck!
  12. Glad to read good things. I had my band surgery Jan 30th,2012. Down 23 pds. This is the best thing I have ever done for myself. I would rather do this than go to the dentist. Good luck to all.
  13. I was banded 1/30/12 and only has the gas pains for 3 days. Gas-X was a blessing. I would rather do this than Hugo to the dentist. Just now at 51/2 weeks and starting tomfeel hungry but not gaining and still losing a little.maybe time for a fill next week. Good luck and it is so worth it!
  14. Thanks for the info. I will go to the support group in March since I missed them this month. How have you been doing. 4years out what a success !
