rock on dude take care of yourself and grats on the surgery :clap2: get some rest man you deserve it i like the reference to sampler platter lol

*while spinning my cell phone around my fingers and having it fly across my desk while i write this responce* Congrats so much bandita u sound thrilled in your post and looks like you have so much spirit i hope you continue to keep up the good work

im thinking about going to a salvage yard for scrap metal where tehy have big scales for scrap and they weigh stuff pretty acurately because they are paying for that material seeing as my doctors scale is "broke" and bathroom scales go up or down at any lil movement or doesnt read me at all i think thats my best option ill pay em 5 bux to step on that thing and make a fool of myself :clap2: i need to get some sort of starting weight to monitor my progress

I havea meeting set up ready to go on April 3rd with my dietician what should i expect? I have to have documented 3 months of dieting i believe. So what kind of questions will she ask me?:speechles Can you as the reader tell me what you experienced with your dietician if you had to meet one

have you ever heard of that practice though where the patient would pay up front before even checking with insurance if its covered

Im going to meet with shrink and from what i heard i have to stay steady on letting them know im doing this for health reasons and if i stay away from the glam and glitter of the outcomes i should be fine. Hopefully im not found to be considered a crazy mentally deranged psycho :heh: I need to pay 200$ for the consult and that my insurance would reimburse me if it was reimbursable is that true or possible?

Instead of usnig the food that u used to use to comfort you this is just an idea but how about if you were to go out and walk your butt off get to a low weight look good and show that guy what he missed out on!!!!!!

what about people who never feel full ever..like in my whole life i maybe felt full at most 10 times and i do eat allot at times. i asked the doctor this as well and he said that with the band i would feel full

ya the reason i think im 350 is because i had a scale b4 that went to 320 and when i weighed myself on that it woudl go past the limit by about 20-30more pounds and ya i mean i see on tv these k1 fighters or boxers and they say their 320 or 330 and i look similar to them in body size so thats where im getting the 350 from if i really am 500 then wow i sure can get around pretty well for that size and plus i have not one medical condition that i know of ^knock on wood^ i will deffinately let u guys know how things go with the dietician and shrink

So i took that first step and had the 15 minute consultation with the doctor and he was looking me over allot :phanvan lol anyways they had a scale taht goes up to 500lbs and i guess i weight more than that because they cant get a accurate reading >< i step forward andit goes higher i lean back and it goes lighter POS if u ask me ..now im concerned here i am thinking i weigh 350-370 and its possible i could weigth 500+ and the doctor said it was possible WTF? oh well w/e so now i have to go on a 3 month diet prior to surgeory and wait for a call from teh nutritionist who might just have a scale for me and then wait for a call from a pyschologist when i have the meeting with her and the nutritionist im good to go.:clap2: now this 500 pound thing is eating at me :think

thats awesome jacks..ya seating seems to be an issue with us all dont know why they put arms on seats ><

TY so much thats another biggie is being able to shop for clothes i like instead of shopping for clothes that fit

anyone have any goals they had prior to surgeory and if so did they meet those goals or were they not necessary

I WANT... To be healthy To be able to by regular sized clothes To be able to comfortably sit in a plane seat To not feel ashamed or emabarrased in public To spend less on groceries To have more energy to do what i have been missing out on To be phsyically fit + able to pass a phys. test to get my dream job To not feel embarrased to sit next to someone at a sports stadium To look better To have a brighter outlook on life To no longer worry To have more confidence with the opposite sex To swim without embarrasment To not have future complications because of my weight To look in the mirror and see myself in a way i have never done b4 Anyone else got any more of their own that they would like to add

i will be banded soon and i live in moore getting it done by dr svein holsaeter and it is insured through where i work

I saw in someones signature a protein supplement that one can take that is only 30ML in size and comes ina cool bottle what is that company? anyone know/:phanvan

thank goodness i have been saving up my money or i dont know how i would be able to pay this hopefully i can get at least one of these tickets waived if i just show up

great news first - i called up the bariatric coordinator this morning and i have a first consultation with dr holsaeter on monday from 4pm-4:15 band news - i got pulled over by a police officer today :*( i want to be come one myself in the future but not to be like this guy i swear he was out to get someone he had me cited for 5 violations.. 1. speeding 1-10 over i was doing 73 in a 70 he says its a 60 zone which is bull 2. illegal lane change he said i signaled but not 100 feet before the lane change. 3. no drivers lic ok i messed up mine expired in another state 3 months ago :X 4. no valid insurance - gave him the wrong card had the other in my wallet he reversed it 5. improper lice plate cover obstruction of state lettering - waived cause hes a nice guy all in all 515$ in fines im going to challenge it in court but actualy put an extension on the court date in hopes paperwork or the officer gets confused if he dont show i pay nothing

im afraid if i kept a journal id kill to many trees

IM pre band so i vote 2k+ although its more like 3500+:rolleyes

O GREAT ty kimmie i was looking for this earlier this is a great reference

Nice the list is growing

ok got 3 slang terms any others out there?

As a new member here at LapbandTalk i had found it kind of interesting the abbreviations people use that i have never heard of. A couple of those are - PB : Productive Burp DW : Dear Wife DH : Dear Husband Sliming : Another version of PB Foamies : Barfing Foam:sick http://www.lapbandtalk.com/abbreviat...hey-t7959.html Can someone help a newbie out and possible future Newbies in understanding some of your slang that you use by replying with abbreviations or slang terms taht are used here. I will compile a list after we have gathered a few

good idea ok that is my first step ty
