I'm in Iowa about hour and half from Omaha, not being banded till July though

I'm getting banded in July too! Not sure what date yet, but will for sure be July

Hang in there!! Think how long you have been overweight, and how 6 months is nothing in the scheme of things! Just enjoy your summer, and once August rolls around you will be ready to go!!! Good luck, stay strong and think about that cute little girl, do it for her!!!

Good luck to you! You get to start the rest of your life

What an inspiring story!

Thank you everyone!! Seriously this website is the BOMB everybody is so helpful! I think I'm going to go low carb, and try to exercise a lot... And if I wanted to do one protein shake a day would that be ok, like breakfast? Mixed with the low carb diet?

Ok, so I went to see the surgeon and my only thing left to do before I can get my surgery day is I have to get my BMI to 49, and its currently like 50.7. I figured if I lose a good 10lbs. I should be right there. I have about 3 weeks to do so, and am looking for some advice on how to get off quickly. I dont really understand why it matters, as Im sure I will lose at least 10 on the liquid diet, but thats the rule, So any ideas???

Just wondering if anyone has suggestions with shakes, Im looking for something that is yummy, that will hekp me get thru this liquid diet, wen I start in a couple weeks

Was wondering if anyone got pregnant right after surgery? I don't want to go on birth control after being. Banded, but don't want to get prego for a good year, never used BC with my husband and have never been preggs, any thoughts????

Was the pain bad?

i am pumped!

I am so thrilled to know that I'm 100% having my surgery! Got the all ok from my surgeon, clearance from mental health and now I just have to finish my education I'm starting a new life!!!

I hope my sex life gets better, it's definitely seen better days, that's FOR SURE!

I am having my first doc appt tomorrow, along with my psych exam. Does anyone have any q's they think I should ask either? I want to be super prepared....thx
