Slim&Sexi

Ok everyone! so after 4 months of preparation and Dr. visits and the the untimely death of my brother in September and stressful 5lbs weight gain. I finally got my banding date, It's Nov 14. I am so happy and excited about it but at the same time I am wondering if I will be able to travel on the evening of the 15th? The man that murdered my brother will be going to court on the 16th and the entire family is expecting me to be there. My family members are unaware of my weight loss plan only my husband and long time friend knows. This will be the third court appearance (I missed the second one) as we find out what will happen to him at the same time we will be talking to the DA handling his case. Did I also say I am my families acting spokes person and all decisions are made as a whole with my mom, my 2 older sisters and myself plus my mom respects my decision making. What is this soon to be BANDSTER to do.

I thought once you have surgery you don't need any diabetes meds?????? Do we still have to take them? Then what's the point of surgery ?????

My band date is on the 14th. I will have to start my liquids on the 1st yeah me

Wow I going to ask my DR about this I think I might want this done

I have my last appt on 10/10. I'm hoping I can get my band date then also but good luck and I do hope to meet u at a visit or two.... LoL

Thanks girls I am positive today but u guys kno how this. See saw can be

Sorry wrong thread

Today I had a marathon of Md appts I seen my pcp need to make a few more visits with him before he will clear me, had my echo, and echo stress test. As of today I am cardiac cleared for my LB in November im almost there just 2 months away I can't wait ;-}

Has anyone had Dr Kwon or Dr Wiess do there bands? The office staff are very nice and pleasent. But I'm a Pre-Op looking at a surgery date some time in Nov I guess since my last office visit will be in mid Oct. I would love to hear from anyone who had or will be have a LapBand from this surgical group

I have my appt for my psych test 9/12 and that will also be my 3/4 appts so I'm getting very close to becoming a bander ;-}

Me too cuz I often do feel alone husband an ass and I haven't told any one else about my new journey

@ toad I'm 236 with a 39 bmi and 5' 3" and diabetes type 2. So I really need to loss 80-100 lbs and maybe his 155 lbs I he keeps it up... LOL

Yes yes yes Mss M!ch! My husband never complained about my weight either only when I have loss in the past but now I'm tired of this yoyo weight and my bad health. It's all about us BANDSTERS now if our men won't support us then we will support each other online. And by the way my husband has been the same for the past 20 years. So he's ok with himself. Now is the time I become ok with myself.

Thank you honey I do hope this Is a phase he is going throught rigt now because I have to loss 80-100 lbs and after 20 years I'm ok with losing an extra 155 lbs LoL

Oh wow Juli you have had a rough 3 years. Sorry about your mom, but now its your time to be the star and shine your way to a smooth healthy life. Congrats

Congrats to both of you on your band dates

Hello everyone, I went to my 2nd month appt today with my husband and we meet my surgeon. He was very nice and knowledgable about what he does and what surgery he thought was best for me. He suggested a bypass due to my diabetes. But I told him " that is to drastic and I prefer the banding", so now we are all on the same page as far as surgery. My husband was also involved in the conversation and asking questions he seemed pretty gun hoe with everything as I was, till we got in the car. It was extremely quiet for a while. Then he broke out talking about What he and the kids are going to eat since I can no long eat he figures that I won't be cooking .I was like for real dude??? do you really prefer to be pushing me around in a wheel chair once my feet, legs hands, and arms start getting cut off because of diabetes and I can no longer work. I'm just saying if he can't stand by me then he might just have to stand alone. Because I will finish on top of all this excess weight and diabetes with him or without him. I WILL BE A SUCCESSFUL BANDER FOR LIFE. Did I mention I have been by his side during his illness and now disability for the past 11 year and his 9 surgeries over the past 3 year I feel after running with him to his Dr visits he would be more supportive. I guess NOT. Sorry for my venting but on a brighter note I had my upper GI X-ray today and I loss my 1st 3 lbs and and im on my 2nd wk of chantix so its been 6 days without no cigarette ugghhh. It ok and my Dr wants me to CUT ALL CARBS ASAP !!!! And start a liquid diet for 5 days just to try it out to lower my sugar levels. But I'm 2 months down and 2 more months to go till my banding birthday.

I have just started also, I've been to my 2nd appt already. I have an appt with pcp to get my letter end of August along with my appt with cardiologist, echo, and stress tests. I still need to go see my endocrinologist, I guess to get his ok on my decision. I also have my appt for X-ray the end oh this month. Since I work mon- fri I always try to make a marothon of appts in one day. It seems to work for me since it's a huge medical practice. But let buddy up cuz we all need help gettin started ???„

Hello BBH I'm in NY state also

Hey BBH I'm in NY state also
