  2. my initial weigh in was 267 pounds...i had surgery 2 months ago and i weigh 235 -- slowly but surely i will get to my goal
  3. its just a pinch...if you got the lapband, then this is cake (so to speak lol)
  4. my a1c before surgery was 6.3...since surgery it is now a 5.8 (normal) -- with your weightloss, your numbers will go down
  5. i didnt do the imaginary lap band , but i did start doing the shakes before i was supposed to so i could get an idea of what i liked and kind of whean myself off food. you'll be able to lose weight doing the pre-op diet early Good luck!
  6. i was banded on the same day and day 6 is mushies....im lovin it!
  7. i had surgery friday december 16th and returned to work tuesday december 20th...i have a desk job so its not so bad

    i am 5 days out and feel great! i havent peeled the 'glue' off my cuts ....im waiting for them to peel off on their own--other than the bruising by the incision sites all is well.
  10. i didnt have to do one because i was on liquids 2 weeks prior to surgery....there wasnt anything to clean out :/
  11. good luck! i got banded on friday and i dont have any problems; i havent felt hungry at all. great things to come!
  12. they will weigh you then tell you the steps involved and the tests you will need to take - my first visit was not long at all

  14. thanks for sharing! i get banded on friday
  15. does the office have an advocate for you? my doctor's office has one person who handles all of my paperwork and if i have any questions, i call her. she sent my paperwork in and i got approved in 7 days---my surgery is on friday. yippee!
  16. my surgery is friday and the only way to feel kind of full is eating jello and drinking the shake really slow. its hard at first, then you get used to it. ive lost 10 pounds in 10 days
  17. i am on day 7 of the liquid diet and i find its getting easier and easier...i have lost 7 pounds in 7 days.
