Sherry62, how have you been?

Thank you very much! I have an appointment March 4th for a fill.

Someone on another thread is really hyping Dr. Woodman's patient client relationship to be very impressive. I have been placed on a waiting list for Dr. Weaver's office since July and had a scheduled appointment for October 22nd, only to get a call last week telling me to call back in January to reschedule, her new office wasn't ready for new patients. BTW I am a former patient of Dr. Tichansky; UT Medical Group, which closed in August of this year. I'm very disappointed. Just trying to get a fill.

OMG! Thank you so much! I have had my bad for over a year with no fills, tried to get into UT to find out in July they were closing! I contact Dr. Weaver had an appointment for October 22nd. They called me only to say" we are moving, call us in January to reschedule! WTH?

I'm sorry but where is Detorit? Is "Beliteweight" a support group or group of doctors

nkent this is great? Can you tell us what weight you came from and what your weight loss goals are?

I'm doing grits and oatmeal. I completely forgot about cream of wheat! Love the egg whites, however, I prefer to make omelets on the weekends and add vegetables such as peppers onions and mushrooms.

Congratulations and welcome to bandland!

Congratulations Chris! What a milestone!

I know this sounds awkward, however, in order to loose you have to be able to feed the muscles what they need to grow strong. I'm not doing a very good job of that right now. I can't get over 1000 a day, and to top it, I have some sort of upest stomach going on right now. I've been sick since last Thursday. Then my period came on Friday! This past week has been bad. I ran 5 miles yesterday and will try to repeat today after my daughters meeting. Stay blessed all!

Wow, I didn't know it was that indepth. I know what to tell pre-op people. Thanks!

Hi all! I've been afraid of cheese too! I think it is because of it's thickness. I will try some extra sharp over the weekend.

Hello, I think this depends on how much physical activity you are doing. If you are doing intense training, cardio and strength, you may need something stronger. May I suggest if you are, GNC's Women's Ultra Mega Active Multi vitamin. Great product. It has electrolyte replacement, bone health and antioxident support.

Does PB mean "progressive burping?" Is it bad to burp?:cry

Actually day of surgery I was 245. I've lost 28 pounds since surgery. I lost 24 pre-op. I haven't had a fill as of yet, I wouldn't be able to eat. I will schedule one when my band loosens up. Keep in mind, results vary.:clap2:

I'm one month out from lap band surgery and thankful I had it. I've lost 50 pounds and have 45 more to go to reach my goal weight. It is not a miracle pill, it is a lifestyle change. I have never had a problem loosing weight, only problem, keeping it off. I had female problems, high blood pressure, heel spurs and back pain. With just the first 50 pounds gone, I have none of the above problems. It is not an easy way out. It has saved my life. So I am a proud lap band owner, and look forward to my new life with fitness, exercise, and incorporation of good eating.

I've heard mixed things on this topic. As for my doctor, Iwas told none for a year. I've beencoping pretty good. I also think it has been a plus with my post op weight lost. Proceed with caution.

<p><p>That's wonderful! Congratulations!</p></p>

Congratulations on your band date!

Hello Everyone, I'm not a health professional so I want to make it clear I'm only making a suggestion that helped my hunger pains during the liquid diet which I had for two weeks pre-op. I was referred a liver detox which helped to shrink the liver. Also, keep in mind the stomach is a muscle. it will shrink as the days nearer to surgery. Also the liver detox helped with my pre surgery weight loss and also after surgery gas pains were at a mininmum.

I'm one month post op and I don't think I could handle a steak! Take a bite for me!
