A lot of oeople talk about gas x strips.

AMEN!

Hooray! Glad to hear another success surgery. Keep us posted on your progress.

Looking forward to reading about all your successes to come. And when you need or if you need it, hope I can bring sunshine on!! a cloudy day. SING ALONG

Thanks.My folks live on Cape Cod- time to batten down the hatches! We are between the Cape and Boston, we get our hair messed in the wind but that's all.

You are the wind beneath my wings! Very happy for you Dacoop!

Thanks for all the 411 about erosion.It has been my only pre op worry. Now I'll have to find something else to worry about

Is Sandy visiting Carolinagirl? She may stop by here in New England.

Truely??? Good God, I truly need spell check!!

Good luck Valerie! Soon to be a lean, mean,diva machine!

I'd like to thank the academy! It's truely an honor just to be nominated!

But truth be told, got the big boobs too, for now!!!!

Was watching my niece play field hockey today on the field I played on 30 years and 70 pounds ago. I am going to dribble a ball up and down that field again by next season! SCORE!! (just need a darn surgery date.)

I really look forward to reading your post escapades. It's like Lucy and Ethel, Mary and Rhoda, Laverne and Shirley all got banded!!!

My doc wants me to take 2 flintstone chewables daily. Vit D, Vit B12, and calcium. This is all prebanding. I hear that Biotin is for the hair loss but I.ve also heard if you get the required Protein in, the locks should be fine.

Hope we are quickly getting closer to our surgery.I can suggest certain decent protein drinks I've tried. Amplify from gnc stores. Uanjury, chocolate splenda flavor is great. You get that online. Nectar road side lemonde from the vitamin store

You are definitely in my prayers. I have an anxiety disorder, and because of meds lowering my metabolism, I gained 50pounds in 15 yrs. Being fat has not helped my anxiety so I am about to begin this journey too. I don't have a surgery date but I.d love to be any help to you that I can. You sound strong and driven!!

Thank you so much. I should no better than to read the horror stories. I decided a while ago I'd rather gastric surgery now than cardiac surgery in the future. Please keep working the site....and aren't you the one that the p#n#s police caught today????? : )

Sorry for butting in, but you 4 are everywhere on this site, so you must know your stuff. Would you tell me what you know about stomach and/or band erosion? I read a post today from someone who almost died and I am freakin out. She also mentioned you only get 4 to 5 problem free years with the band. My date is up in the air awaiting bcbs to certify the hospital(?). All my pre op is done. Then I read that post and ...yikes.

Congratulations. I am waiting for my date.I appreciate hearing your positivepositive outlook

You have the best profile picture! Love the irony, humor, and keepin the faith!!!! Good luck on your journey, mine has not begun yet.

If you do contact your surgeon, please share the info. That would scare me and I'd like to know what it is before it happens. Hope you feel better soon.

Thanks. How is life at 6 weeks post op? I still haven't gotten a date even though my pre ops are all completed. Can't wait for my life part 2 to begin!

I wish you peace because it will help you heal. You don't need emotional knots in your stomach.

Not babded yet, but should have a date any day now!!
