  3. Mine is Scheduled for March 28. When I went in for my labs they discovered I was diabetic, but just barely as in my numbers were just over the benchmark, but im taking medicine now and ive lost 15 lbs already by not eating sugar and low carbs! Im having labs done again in two weeks to see if I can still have my surgery in March.
  4. Personally I did not like the seminar setting. I like one on one settings better.

  6. My surgery is two months away and Im already "training" I bought some advantEDGE carb smart shakes. And drink everything sugar free. The thing that keeps me hopeful for my two week diet is that-in my case. Ill be allowed one 6oz piece of chicken breast every other day. No seasoning no oil og course.
  7. Ms maui I want to ask you. Alot of information online says the band reverses diabetes. But I know may thin to average sized people who are greatly affected by diabetes. Can you tell me about how the band has made you feel month to month relating your diabetes. Please
  8. With diabetes. My body had told me this in the past month. My hands and arms tingle to the point that I cannot sleep and aften I wake up from the pain. I get super duper hungy at around 2pm. Well I knew I had it. I dont have money for any diabetes medicine for another 8 days. How can I manage this till then?
  9. How do you stick with the post op diet? What are some examples of clear liquids?

  13. I got up at 5am yesterday; or to say I stood up all night and started getting ready at 5am is more accurate. I just coulnt sleep. I was excited and anxious. I drove 5 hours by myself with my dog Jackie. I had to borrow my fathers car that uses less gas. I arrived 3 hours before my appointment, and decided to go check in early. I thought I would I would have to wait but luckily I was seen early. The visit was what I expected and I went ahead an had a visit with a nutritionist. We also took care of the pre surgury test. The blood, breathing, and heart exams. My favorite part was that I was able to arrange my self pay status. Im gonna fo 4500 down and the rest in payments, so I chose March 27, 2013.
  14. You are lucky-a new start. How exciting!
  15. Yea I wanted my sister to know about the whole process, inside I was hoping she would also want to get help with her weight. Especially because she has two children. But she told me very honestly, "I love food too much" I hope after I get the band things change.
