  1. After this weekend I am as ready for Christmas as I'll ever be! I just have to say Christmas cookies are a little evil. I never wake up wanting a cookie until Christmas time!
  2. I think this site is a great one to ask questions on & to get answers to your questions but you have to be in the rt forum
  3. Got my four sure date today. January 6th 8a.m. Super excited!!! When I have my before surgery appt with my surgeon I am going to make sure he thinks the lap band is best for me & not the sleeve or one of the other WLS. I keep reading so much info on which surgery is the best. So many people have the lapband but then get the sleeve or something else later. Any thoughts on what you all have heard or your physicians opinion?
  4. It's a shame, but I have actually gained weight since I found out I will be having the procedure. I want to "get it in" before I can no longer have it. The holiday season being upon us does not help. I ordered an awesome blender and am waiting for it to arrive so I can begin so different receipes and regimens.
  5. Have to say I'm getting a little nervous. Thought I would get my pre op appt with doctor scheduled this week & I haven't heard anything. Hmmmm...
  6. Had to squeeze myself into a chair with arms today. I am so hoping the band & I can work together to lose enough weight so I don't have to feel this way much longer. Can't wait to find out!
  7. I'm from Illinois, no kids, but my boyfriend who has two ages 9 & 11. My weight has been a lifelong struggle as well. I am hopful the band will help me to lose weight and become much more healthy!
  8. My date is January 6th. I'm Super excited and super nervous. I keep reading more and more information on the procedure and the results. I hear lots of good and some not so good. Truely hoping this will be the answer to my weight loss issues.
  9. If I may ask why are you having gastric surgery if you all ready has the band done? Your haircut looks Great!
  10. You look fantastic! Congrats! Kudos typo you for all ur hard work!
  11. I know I am. I was hoping this band would make the weight come off for me, but It doesn't sound like that's the way it works... It's such a huge lifestyle change. To go through all this& then fail... Yeah I have anxiety too
