Thank you. I will! Current pre-op wt 344

One more day and then I'm banded! My surgery is 12/21!! Current pre-op wt 344

Also I love Northern KY. I used to go to Covington and Hebron all the time!! Current pre-op wt 344

Thank you. I will look into that as well! Getting them taken in don't distort them too much? Current pre-op wt 344

At the goodwill?? I'm very thrifty. I live in Louisville and we don't have many Goodwills and the main location stays packed! I may try it while I'm off. Current pre-op wt 344

I have not thought about discount stores to be honest. Being obese in the past I was always disappointed because the clothes did not fit well I was sadden by the fact either I was bigger than I thought or the maker of the clothes has a unrealistic view of sizes. Thanks CHEZNOEL for the suggestion!! Current pre-op wt 344

I know this may sound very vain to some and I'm sorry, but how did many of you deal with the clothing issue doing weight loss? I have always tried to dress nice no matter what size I am. I have gained weight and got approved for the band. I can't wear some of my nice shoes and clothes and have remained steadfast (although its HARD) to not buy any new shoes or clothes for awhile. Can someone help me with suggestions or encouragement? Current pre-op wt 344

I'm not going to judge you. I have not had the band yet and my surgery is Friday. Overall, I decided to get the band due to the ability to have it removed. I read reviews of the sleeve and was not impressed with the results. Please review all the options and rate if success. Although its newer here in the US, its been done elsewhere for awhile. I am concerned about the suture and staple line over the years and the fact that IF you are not diligent in your efforts your stomach will expand again over time. Please know I'm not trying to discourage you, just look on reputable sites before getting any procedure. I chose the lap band after 10 yrs. because of the success rate and complications. I'm not saying wait like I did, but logically look at how successful your procedure will be in the long run. Good luck to you in whatever you decide!! Current pre-op wt 344

Hello. I'm in Louisville and I'm looking for someone u can touch basis with from time to time to get together and exchange ideas or walk with. It's hard when you have friends who don't or can't relate to your situation. I am pre op and my surgery is 12/21!! Sent from my iPhone using LapBandTalk

Someone was that nasty over a posting? I would have ignored what you said if it was something I did not like. It just shows how ignorant, rude, and self absorbed this society is becoming. Sent from my iPhone using LapBandTalk

Day 2 of semi liquid diet. So far so good. It's kinda fun trying to be creative with the food choices and amounts I am allowed. Hope all is well with my fellow per op dieters!! ???˜
