    Hey hun, been soooooo busy cant even tell you, between school, work, anniversary, family... Havent had a chnce to breath, but as of now 25 lbs down....how have you been?


  2. Quick question...when did you guys have your 1st alcolholic drink after getting the band? I am 20 days post op and down 25 lbs (including liquid diet) This week has been hectic and exciting, celebrated my 2 yr anniversary with my boyfriend and today is his birthday. Just wondering if having one glass of white wine will do any harm? Tganks for the input

  6. Hey! Congratulations! I'm scheduled for tomorrow 1-25-13 @ 8:00am. Can you tell me how surgery day went? I'm just curious of the process' date=' how you felt when you woke up, pain etc. I'm soooo frickin nervous lol[/quote']

    Heyy, you will be fine!!! What to expect?? As soon as you get into the OR they will give you medication to calm down, and it kicks in FAST!! Then the next thing you know you will be waking up and it will all be over!! After I got somewhat nautious and lightheaded so I took a nap prior to walking around, but I am home and walking and FINE aside from some soreness...dont stress out like I did, Xoxo keep me posted.


  7. I am scheduled for my banding on Thursday as well! I am starting to get nervous which I know is normal. I am having a bunch of dreams about eating foods and realizing I wasn't suppose to eat them lol. I am anxious to get through the surgery the suspense is killing me! Good luck to everyone who is about to get their bands too!

    Hey guys so I an on the other side, not as bad as I thought!! ... Just feels like someone beat up my stomach but otherwise I am walking around, drinking Water and taking my Vitamins (chewable and dissolvable of course) The only concern is that I cant feel where my port is, but I am also very swollen...anyone else have this issue in the beginning?

    Also to you guys who are nervous, you will be fine!!! What to expect?? As soon as you get into the OR they will give you medication to calm down, and it kicks in FAST!! Then the next thing you know you will be waking up and it will all be over!! After I got somewhat nautious and lightheaded so I took a nap prior to walking around, but I am home and walking and FINE aside from some soreness...dont stress out like I did, I just want to offer a peace of mind to you guys! Xoxo keep me posted


  8. I was banded by Dr. Ren' date=' although I know all the surgeon's in the office, as my Dad and I speak at their information sessions as live testimonials. They are all fantastic and some of the top doctors in the field. Dr. Fielding was even one of the pioneers of the band, who helped bring the band to America from Australia. You will do great![/quote']

    Dr fielding is the one doing it for me ahhh super nervous!


  9. I'm from Long Island and was banded in August 2010 at NYU. Just recently underwent plastic surgery' date=' a month ago tomorrow, to remove excess skin on my tummy and arms.[/quote']

    From Long Island also and getting the band next week at NYU...who was your surgeon? Ive been nervous latly!


  10. Hey Mimi hope all is going well, any updates? You have been in my prayers...hopfully this will be a short lived diabetic blip prior to surgery and it will all be over after the procedure!! Keep your head up and please keep us posted.

    As for everyone else, how is everyone doing so far? I have pretty much got use to this whole thing and only ONE WEEK LEFT! Ahh so unreal!! Last night I had a craving for some cheese and a chicken cutlet as well as a burger but made it threw lmao!! How much weight has everyone lost so far? I lost 10 since last week, I guess sipping on liquids will do that to you...UPDATES UPDATES UPDATES everyone :) xoxo


  11. Hi! Congrats on your date! Today was tough for me too. I cheated (a little) and had a Healthy Choice chicken noodle Soup. Being home has messed up my routine a little' date=' but I'll be back on track tomorrow. (6 lbs down :) )[/quote']

    Hows it going? This wknd was a little bit of a struggle, but no cheating unless you consider replacing a shake with extra steamed veggies? I dont consider that cheating but who knows, highly doubful. But I must say the wknd was harder, but I survived as predicted lol...how is everyone holding up?!


  12. Anali - 3 pounds is awesome! I've lost 1 pound so far. Today was much easier. I'm still not eating the bars and my doctor's office didn't call me back' date=' but I'm okay for now with what I did today. I'm glad your day was better too. We're in this together :)

    Ladybabie - is it getting any easier on Day 4? How's your level of energy? I live in NYC and by the time I get home after all that walking with so little "fuel" in my body, I'm totally drained.[/quote']

    Mimi, where are you having lap band? Im from NYC as well...i am having it at NYU
