I'm in DC for college now' date=' but I live in Grapevine when I come home and had my surgery there. 104 down![/quote']

Elizabeth-that is awesome!! Congrats!! How long did it take u to lose it?

Did you try being hypnotized? That was a good one.

Day one of pre-op diet. Did my Protein Shake and already wanted to turn to food as a way to relieve stress This could be a long two weeks. My day off and I'm thinking this would be a good day to tackle the garden full of weeds.

I'm with you lady!!! Already want food!!

I am also getting banded on April 2! I hope everything goes well for you!

Hdavis-- hey girl! Welcome! Where are u located? Did u start ur pre op yet?

I think I'm gonna try and go tomorrow too Tammy. I have a 2pm appt there tomorrow but I don't know how long it will last

Tomorrow ls a new day. A start to our new life!

Hey! I had my surgery in Richardson with Dr. B on November 17th. So far I'm down 25lbs from the date of surgery. I have learned to be happy with that....lol. I figured with my PCOS that I would be a slower loser but so far so good. No problems or complications' date=' no pb'ing or stuck issues at all that I've heard so much about. I'm taking it a day at a time and a pound at a time. It's a new life style that I'm still getting use to that's why I think this support group is a great idea.

Trina, I have pcos as well and so does another woman in our group! I hate it SO much! Do u think it's helping your symptoms at all?

I just sent out an email to all of you, I think so far we have 5 girls and everyone's email addresses should be attached. Feel free to start whatever u would like! I just want to meet some people in my area going thru the same thing. )

Yes Trina, send me ur email

Hey Trina, I'm in Hurst. How much have u lost so far? Who did your surgery? I start my pre op tomorrow! I'm getting nervous!

Hey airman welcome! If u like I can add u to our email list

That is who I'm using

So far' date=' so good. Just had 3cc's removed from the lap band on Friday... As it was too tight. The plication really keeps you from over eating. Which is a good thing. As it takes awhile for the lap band to be filled enough to feel snug.[/quote']

That's great! Gives me inspiration! With the plication, ur not suppose to need as many fills, correct? Have u had issues eating certain foods? Where did u have ur surgery done?

Twinmom--how are u doing with the plication part?? My surgery is 4/2

I get my banded plication on 4/2. I'm so excited, mine is part of a trial as well which is a little scary, but people seem to be doing really well with it

I've been binging all week!!! My surgery is April 2 as well. I start my pre op tomorrow and I'm SO nervous!! Today all I can think about is donuts and pizza!

I've been binging all week!! My surgery is April 2nd as well. I start my pre op diet tomorrow and I'm SO nervous!!!

Sorry girl. That really sux. I would consider looking into dr Ortiz in Mexico. He is a world renown bariatruc surgeon, he teaches other surgeons a over the country. There are a ton of people on this forum that have gone to him and it's a lot cheaper there. It's definatly something to consider. I'm self pay as well. Its alot of money, but for me it's now or never.

I am having min done in the morning by Dr. Adam Smith in Fort Worth... Super excited!!!

Oh yea!!! Good luck! Please keep us posted on how ur surgery goes. I get mine done with him on April 2

Hey Sheri! Welcome! I think we are going to start meeting once a month it's great to have support.

You need to look into the new iband, it's the lapband over gastric plication. It's the newest wls. Im having mine done April 2. They are seeing results like with the sleeve. The best part is there is no cutting or rerouting of the stomach. They just fold the stomach into a sleeve and stitch it in place, no staples!
