i am june 6th

hi joel please tell me how i am so happy for you.

that is great news

i have read some posts recently about hair falling out. please advise.....is there some sort of vitamin i need to take to help with this?

that is so great. i can only hope to be as successful as you all. now what is this about hair falling out??? am scared now....

you are 100% right. you are a gorgeous person all the way around. at that other weight and now this weight. and your BF is gorgeous because he loves YOU. that is what matters. proud of you for your confidence. can you put some in a jar and mail it to me please?

i am meeting with my surgeon this week to pick my surgery date anf have my final meeting. they will be giving me the pre diet info and post opt info. what type of questions should i ask (about surgery, fills, etc).

well......guess we will do/handle whatever comes my way (spurts or no spurts). thanks for responding..

is that at the beginning stages or is this the whole time?? (sitting here thinking of how long the walk is to the ladies room here at work)

are we talking #1 or # 2 ms divalicious? and ms ladybug, are those gasx expensive? are they pills?

i apologize first for my questions: with the pre-surgery diet and post-op diets (consisting of liquids/mushy etc).... how does this affect your bowel movement? i work in an office environment and just kinda curious at what to expect (before/after). on the after, how about the (gas) i read so much about..how do you handle that? appreciate any feedback.

congrats on all you have done.

I just finished up my sleep tests and once I have the machine, my lap band clinic can schedule my surgery. Does anyone know about the surgery and if the surgeon uses this during the surgery for me? Can anyone advise me with the cpac stuff? Id appreciate it.

my psych visit took about 15 min. he weighted, asked if i had depression. and spent 5 min telling me i would have to pay him 45 for him to write a nice report to the lap band clinic (on top of my co pay 12). i waited until i was sure the clinic received this report and called tricare to complain. they said i should only had to pay the 12 dollars and nothing else. they sent him a letter saying he owed me monies. but at least i got my letter.

i dont know that either. I was approved on the 16th and on the 18th, my clinic said guess what, we need a sleep test before you can have surgery. i am very disappointed as i completed all my pre-ops they asked me to do in feb/march and would have completed this one also if they had told me. Will this postpone my surgery?? i really feel just like giving up

i read on the net, that after they fit you with the machine, some surgeons wait 6 to 12 months before surgery. is that true?

had my first sleep study. the results came back and now I need a 2nd one they said to let me sleep with one of those machines and get (fitted for it?). another ovenight visit. did anyone else have more then one of these sleep tests?

hope your nutritional appt is as helpful to u as it was to me. I am like you, over the top excited too. Once I get done with my sleep test, I am hoping they send results to my clinic by next week and then schedule my surgery thereafter as I have been approved. I will be your biggest cheerleader

hi Army mom just a $12 co pay on fills? i was wondering about that. my clinic said i would only need to pay 184 for my surgery and they pay the rest so i am thankful.

those kinds of posts b52 will make me successful bc its positive/to the point and just what i need as a pre-bander to be

well.....I have been approved for surgery by my insurance but last week my lap band clinic said (kinda out of the blue) that (l needed to have this sleep test) and this is why I am doing it.......once this is done, I hope I can get them to schedule my surgery in May....seems the closer I get to getting this done, this clinic keeps making bumps in my path... green nails (very pretty). so I will cut them all short (so when I remove my right index finger today) they wont look so .....dumb but I am a mature adult woman who is now a grandma. I will NOT cry. **smiling**

.......the only thing (I guess) its not TOM for me.........at least that is one bright side..........good bye green finger nail.........

wont get freaked out by moniter stuff (more embarrassed if I eat beans during the day if you get my meaning). fail because I dont remove my nail. YEP, I am gonna remove it but it will hurt like heck to do so. (its ok because this sat is my appt to get them done). falling into order i guess. Thanks Jean. YOU ARE the bestest.

I am a pre-bandster. Do you need to get fills in order to (lose weight)

if anyone had a lap band done here, can you advise what type of pre-op diet (length) you had to do?
