good luck ladies! I am sending positive vibes your way!

Thanks for replying but I have told her about my choice of having surgery. She thinks I can do this without such a drastic decision by getting the lap band. I explained to her I can't. She is nervous for me. At the same point I feel a little jealousy coming from her about this and how I might look in the future.

Oh boym I am not banded yet & I am going through this with a good friend of mine. She is thinking I am over doing this weight loss thing doing the surgery. She thinks I am obsessed now, I told her I am, how could I not be!! Her and I used to go to dinner all the time now she is going out with her neighbor for dinner and drinks. I guess I am already being shunned for trying to better myself. I am a Diabetic and so is she. I can't tell her she should be doing this too. I feel she is also jealous and I hate that! I plan to do what I need to do foe myself, I just find it hard to believe people change like this. I so can relate to this post!

I have a close friend that we always spent 1 night a week going out for drinks and dinner. I told her I can't do it anymore. I feel bad, but want to tell her the truth! Have any of you gone or going through this? I won't even go out to dinner with my hubby yet, I told him I can't handle it. I have been dieting 3 weeks now, lost 6 lbs. I don't want to ruin what I have accomplished. My hubby understands my friend thinks I am to obsessed. ugh... I am not banded yet but waiting for a date!

I hope to be banded end of May or early June, Count me into your group!!

Your doing fantastic, lucky you!

Think positve! Your young, you have so much ahead of you. My bmi is the same as yours. Are you scheduled for surgery yet?

I wish you all th luck in the world!

When the dr. is in there wouldn't he fix that hiatal hernia?

I wish I could say I was, but I have a few more appts. to get to. I am hoping in 2 weeks I get a date for y surgery. Good luck on the 30th, its not long now!

Let ua know how you make out today. I know I can't tell you not to be nervous, but all you can do now is go with the flow..best of luck!

Ladybandito, I like your light at the end of the tunnel! You make this sound so worth it and very promising to me. Thank you for that positive thought!

Jean I got my ticker going, thankyou for helping me!!!!!!

Lucky you Jess! Best of luck, keep in touch!

YOu want to fail it, you want to have sleep apnea so your insurance will pay...

I am trying to put my ticker on here and can't figure if out. Can someone help? Do I add it to my profile? http://www.TickerFactory.com/weight-loss/wc87s49/

Hi Colleen, I read your blog, I hope you get a surgery date for May. You sound as impatient as me lol! Once I set my mind to something I want it now! As far as I know after my psych appt. I get to see the surgeon and he makes the surgery date for me right then and there. I am so hoping for a May date. I see the nutritionist this Thurs. then the psych. the following Tues. Is this wishful thinking that I will get this done in May? How do I get one of those weight loss ticker thingys?

I just found your mango Salsa recipe, sounds delish and so do thos scallops! You have no problem with your band eating either?

Won't you be on liquids afterwards for awhile too? Any good liquids you want to share with me I will keep in mind lol

hi I may have posted in another area first, oops! I am new to this lap band stuff. I have my nutritionist appt. this Thurs., then the appt .with the psych, dr. and then see the surgeon and hopefully gt my date for surgery. I am nervous, excited and anxious... figure the more I read about all of this Lap Band stuff the less nervous I will be? I need words of encouragement, I hope I can do this! I want it badly. Can't wait to buy little clothes!

Good luck with your surgery. I take it your on liquids right now!

Best of luck!

Hello, I am new to the forums as of a few minutes ago. I thought I would join as I have read a few posts already! I am awaiting my date fr my lap band surgery, I met with my surgeon already and enjoyed the seminar they held at his facility. I have my first nurtritionist appt. this thurs. and then the appt. with the psychologist, then I get my date. I am nervous about it, but at the same time excited about things to come. I need words of encouragement here! I hope I am successful at this. I have been on a healthy diet for 3 weeks now & feeling great!

Your experience so far sounds promising! Best of luck! I am not banded yet, I have an appt with the nutritionist this Thurs. This is my 1st time on here!
