I was self pay... Went in for initial consultation to meet my doctor, they did the bloodwork that same day, and I had my band 2 weeks later on Valentines day!!!!!!

No name for my band, but my port is "PORTAPUS"...lol!!

Oops... Guess I should've included that 1 also!!

Tuna/chicken/egg salad with whole wheat crackers is always a winner! Also baby carrots dipped in hummus is awesome. Best of luck!

Almost there!!! So excited, maybe by Christmas!???

Thank you!!!! Best if luck on your journey...

2 c-sections:) The band was a freaken walk in the park compared to the csect. only experienced pains from the gas in my shoulders and back after LBS.

Lala... Try the Sabra Hummus... It comes in a variety of flavors from plain, spinach/artichoke, jalapeño, garlic, roasted red pepper, to pine nuts!!! Can u tell I'm a hum-a-holic? At only 60 calories a serving it goes awesome with whole grain crackers, baby carrots, I even dip string cheese in it!! Lol

What an awesome feeling!!!!

Oh yeah... No, I did not have an unfill... I was sooo grateful to feel the restriction and tightness:)

Jim... Yes I know EXACTLY what you mean! Judy... For breakfast I would have a veggie omelet w/cheese (maybe 3/4 or so of it) Or coldcuts, cheese, and fruits. Lunch was something simple... Maybe a small salad or pita chips with hummus from the pool side buffet. Dinner was the best... Whatever they were serving at the sit down dinner that night, (steak,fish,lobster,shrimp) w/baked potato and veggies. They always had a "diet" dessert to choose. Have a great time!!!!

Special K crackers w/hummus!

Ok guys... You ever find yourself quietly whispering to yourself "band, I love you" and then smile??!! Let's share a lovey dovey moment we've experienced.....I just came back from an 8 day cruise (as some of you know)... I only gained an itsy 1.8 pounds!!!! Pre-band I would've packed on 7-9 lbs surrounded by chocolate fountains and mid night buffets!!!

You look awesome!!!! Very inspiring!

5 1/2 months out and 32 lbs gone! Slow and steady. I'm super duper happy with my band! Best of luck to you:)

Mis.... Just curious, do you exercise also? I cannot bring myself to start!!!!
