  1. I'm so happy to hear all went well for you! That's fantastic news! You made it to the other side Yay!!! Get plenty of rest, and let yourself be pampered a little bit Thanks for updating us! oxox
  2. I did not think of the laxative part, so thank you! Two thumbs up on the loose clothes, and I have my heating pad ready
  3. bar2373~ When I attended the pre-op seminar, the nurse told all of us, that no one ever got denied because of the psych eval. She said, in most cases, what they want to see, is the patient attending a support group after, or getting some counseling. I would not fret over that ( I know it's easier said than done)- think positively! I have no doubt, you will be approved, and maybe just required to do a few counseling sessions afterwards. Like MiniMi said, we ALL need counseling Good Luck and many blessings your way
  4. Mike- you'll come out of this like a champ! Many blessings to you! Mine is the day after you. We can do this! Keep us posted!!
  5. Is everyone getting their list ready? And not the Christmas one The list of food to purchase, vitamins, etc.? Does anyone need to stay overnight? I know depending on your insurance, you might be required to stay overnight. I know I don't have to, which is just fine by me. Here's what my list looks like: Water Bouillon Skim milk Almond milk Crystal Light Apple Juice Grape juice Sugar-free popsicles Ice Ordered Unjury for Day 4, so I can start getting protein in Flinstones vitamin Biotin Any other suggestions?
  6. Rhonda & Bee- You must be so excited in anticipation of tomorrow. Sending many blessings your way! Amy~ It's our week! Yay!! I can't believe it's finally here!
  7. I can't even change my pic. I don't know what I'm not doing correctly? I tried both places to change it, and nothing happens.
  8. Hi Everyone~ New girl in town! I'm from Pittsburgh, PA, and I'm getting my surgery next Thursday, December 13th. I'm so excited! I'm glad I found this website, as the people are so knowledgeable and friendly! I'm looking forward to keeping in touch with all of you.
  9. Good Luck to you! I have Blue Cross Blue Shield, and it took 3 days to get my approval back. Sometimes, the insurance companies surprise us in a good way....
  10. We'll be lap-band twins then, as I too, am having my surgery on December 13th. I'm so excited! I've been getting everything ready for the big day! I did not have to be on any pre-op diet. Just the day before, I'll have to be on liquids starting after noon, then once I come back home from the surgery, I will be starting Phase 1. Good Luck to you!!
