Took my insurance co 1wk to approve. But Drs office said by law they have 30 days.

I don't think you'll take a couple years, with a 49 lb lost pre-op is a very good start. Best Wishes!

Teenagers "troll" the computers all the time. I bet my 8yo grandson knows what a troll is b/c he has been warned about trusting anyone you don't know. But that being said, I pray God will bless jlg23 too!!!

Remember this is the time for healing, not weight loss. It takes your body up to 6wks for swelling to go down. So don't worry, you'll be fine!!!Promise

I just came on here to wish all the Sept bandsters the best. My surgery is scheduled Oct 15 and nothing anyone says is going to change that. I could have had it sooner, but I am taking my granddaughter to see her favorite band. We had tickets back in May, but she ended up in the hospital. I would not miss this for the world.

I can't imagine changing your eating habits & quiting smoking. I believe you can do it b/c you are a rock star. You go girl!!!!

Almost sounds like Bravo, hmmm

Troll alert, troll alert. Here to scare newbies

If you were not nervous you would not be human. I've had many surgeries. They usually give you something for nerves after your settled in bed. There busy connecting you to monitors and making sure you're comfortable. After you go back to operating room, you're there talking to everyone and next thing you know, you're waking up in recovery. The nurses have never been anything but nice. I wish you all the best!

Congratulations! !!!! That is wonderful!! I can't wait to be there. Glad you found your zone. Thanks for being a inspiration to us soon to be banded!

Thank you for the website!

It's called Fast Food Nutrition. I got it free from Amazon apps. It has a lot of fast food, but also has places like Chilis, Panera and such. You can also go to Fastfood.com Any of the big chain restaurants just go to their website.

I will be taking a high protein shake along with me for breakfast on work days. I can not eat breakfast until around 10am and I'm not banded yet. It's impossible to stop and have breakfast, but I can drink it.

Yep, 1-2 lbs a week. You're doing fantastic! Keep it up rock star!

Oct 15 here. I really don't have to diet, but I am. I've been dieting all along. My nutritionist said they really didn't want us to lose a lot of weight, but PCP wanted me to loose weight. So I didn't try hard just enough to keep PCP happy. Now insurance has approved I plan on kicking it up a notch. Best to everyone!

Yeah!!! WTG!!!! Congratulations! !!

Ok, I'll save it all up til Monday. I pray you have a blessed weekend, I don't work on Friday's so it's already the weekend : p Matter of fact, I think Im going to take a nap now. The Charming One needs her beauty sleep( ya, I know what you're thinking). :P

This was a bad time for me to be commenting on smoking. My bff is dying from lung cancer and it's painful to watch. So now I am hypersensitive about smoking. Sorry all you smokers!!
