Glad your experience was good. I had mine at the BI, Boston. One nurse isn't too bad, hopefully you won't have her ever again to deal with. As long as the doctor was great.

I very much believe it, not just with surgery but with all things in life. I believe when it comes to health matters in particular, your outlook and optimism play a huge role.

I truly believe it. You are what you believe yourself to be. You keep telling yourself you're a failure, you're going to fail.
I know it's biblical, but can't think of the scripture right now.
Talk it into exsistence, whether good or bad.
I believe!

I believe it. Having a positive attitude can do amazing things and positive attitudes come from happy people. At least thats my opinion.

yes. When I had my business I had some sayings on my wall. There was one about be with happy people, you will be happy. Be with sad people, you will be sad. It also was about successful people and non etc. I do believe it.

Great job! This was my first holiday season at goal also. I must admit I was a little nervious with all the cooking and baking but it was really ok. I also love my band. I had a wonderful meal both Christmas Eve and Christmas Day and didn't over eat. I love my band and the control it gives me! Happy New Year, cheers to all of us who are making this life style change work!

Great job!

Yum...I am not sure I have had brisket cooked like that.... Sounds great. Merry Christmas.

Welcome deb... You may want to start a thread in the forum so you can get lots of answers to your questions, I didn't buy the book so don't know much about it. My dr gave me all the info and I read this forum a lot and took some helpful hints.

You know I was so set not to have any control but the band just wasn't letting it happen.

Thanks AJ... Not cooking anymore today...did brunch this morning and since we did last night for family later this afternoon we are headed to close friends for their dinner... They usually have a small group of 40. We go every year. LOL I am bringing desserts this year since I wasn't sure what I would be up for... And Publix baked the cheesecakes and a local bakery does awesome goodies so I cheated and bought my offering. Yesterday and this morning took a lot out of me so I have been banished to the couch while MIL and daughters clean up and hubby and his Dad watch the baby. Of course she is napping to they lucked out. LOL. I keep forgetting I am just a week out of surgery...and have a 15" scar across my hips....

Merry Christmas to all of you lapbanders!! I have just begun the process of scheduling surgery for myself. I am 63 years old and am 75 pounds overweight and have been on every program imaginable. "The definition of insanity--right? This sounds like a life savor to me. My questions are many--Ill start with this. Are you less hungry ? Is there pain involved when you overeat? Just some details of how you feel right after surgery and then post surgery ..Also should I pop the 40 dollars for the book or will I be given all these details/

Wonderful sounding menu. Have a wonderful day and enjoy the baby.

Congratulations on such positive control. I did this during Thanksgiving time this year.
Merry Christmas

My mouth is watering reading that. Sounds delicious. What's for dinner today? I could be there by 6pm..... just saying. lol
Enjoy your holiday, you are a true role model for us all.
Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!
