  11. Wow and your already doing pretty good. Awesome! Congrats on the first day if your new life!
  12. I havent heard of this. Can u get it over the counter? Do u take before or just after (preventative) i heard Gas x strips for after helps
  13. My doctor said we can decide after surgery. Hes leaving it up to me. He is repairing 2 hernias too though
  14. Might lol. Somewhere discreet. I am 51 ???Š we'll see. Always wanted one. But i was too chicken!
  15. Oh and my date is 10/10. 2 weeks from today???Š
  16. Bottoms up! I know ill have to sip it after surgery. But it wasnt bad. Muscle Milk lite. Its on our list of acceptable shakes. But i would like to try another one. Any advice?
  17. October 10th for me. 2 weeks from tomorrow! Scared nervous excited etc etc ???€
  18. Congratulations???Š. Did you mean 10/4? I get mine on 10/10. We'll have to compare notes and encourage each other. Good luck! You'll get lots of ideas here too!
  19. When i get my band on 10/10 (YAY)???Š i am also having a hiatal hernia and an umbilical hernia repaired. A bit nervous about the extra stuff and wondering if recovery will be a lot harder? Anybody with similar situation?
  20. Yay congrats. Mines the week b4. Shall i tell u how it went????Š Im slso having 2 hernias fixed so i hope im not in a lot of pain???
  21. Mel. Are you happy with your success?
  22. I chose the band bc for me the sleeve felt too drastic a choice-for now. I even had a date fir that surgery but i just didnt have a peace for removing so much of my stomach. Not that it might nit be right for someone else or even myself in the future. But. I have great hope thAt this will be a huge help as a tool to lose. Also plan to attend support groups
  23. I was having such a hard time deciding whether to have the Sleeve or Lap Band. I called the surgeon and they let me come in fir a second time to ask questions. The whole staff has been great! So i have my date for Band 10/10 thanks Dr Kwon!!!
  24. And would say they are sorry they did it. My husband just asked me to ask everyone. He thinks its so drastic and i think hes afraid for me. I think it would help him be more supportive we just celebrated 30 yrs????????
