Forgot to mention I had lapband with greater curve plication, and hiatal hernia repair.

I've been a stay at home mom for the last 7.5 years so no one wanted to hire me because my work history gap was so big, I'm only where I am so I can fill in the gap a little before I venture out. I'm also a nursing student.

When are you all going back to work. I was very busy today and feel like I've definitely overdone it. I'm supposed to go back to work on Saturday but I'm not sure i can handle. I have a very physical non stop job with no sitting and the thought of going back already is a killer. I'm 6 days post op. mentioned to hubby I might need to take another week off and he's like really , another week? I work in fast food and i go nonstop for 7-8 hours, illegal I know, but most days I do not even get a break to be able to sit down and rest for a few. Work is begging me to come back because I'm one of the main people and I'm just not sure i can handle it. Money isn't an issue.

I don't know what his cash pay rate is, but I just had mine done with dr cywes of Jacksonville weight loss and he's been amazing

Hoping! It can only go up from here right?!

I'm vhat31 on Mfp. I was banded with gastric plication on Friday 4/5

Love my vitamix. Price tag is way up there but so worth it. It's amazing

I'm really really lightheaded today.

How are you healing? I'm curious as to how many have the plication versus just the band

I had this done on the 5th. Anyone else have the band and plication?

It's just that the bruising want there before I went for the walk and now it's covered in the huge spots so I wasn't sure.

First full body picture was earlier today, I went for a walk, body cramped up stomach and shoulder hurt like hell. went a little too far(apparently even though it was nothing really) anyway, now I'm laying in bed and it looks like this. Does this look normal ? Should I call my doctor tomorrow?

I was just banded in Friday and I will be 27 in july

Anyone from around there? I was just banded on Friday 4/5/13 in Tampa with dr cywes from Jacksonville, we currently live in Valdosta, ga but will be moving back to Ellijay in may. I'm looking for some support after we move

I was banded on the 5th. I got lapband, hiatal hernia repair, and plication. Gas is horrible. I'm having trouble keeping things down, but most of the pain comes from being so swollen inside. I can handle the outside surgical pains but the swelling/heaviness sucks

Nutritionist was part of mine as well

Today I started my clear liquid diet, tomorrow is probably going to be miserable, my surgery is at 8:30 Friday morning! Crazzzzy. I just want it all over and done with, the anticipation is killing me! Not to mention, I am on a no calorie diet for a few days. Ugh.

Super nurse, I'm not sure how old you are, but I will be 27 in July. Married with two kids. I'm 5'5 and 253 as of last Thursday. I get banded on this coming up Friday, the 5th. My goal weight is 165

If that is the last thing you needed, I'm sure it will be sent in ASAP after they get the psych results

Kara, I'm getting mine on Friday also! Add me on Facebook! You can find me in the April Fb group! I'm vanessa

And by real food I mean protein and vegetables(certain low carb ones) and no starches

I'm on my pre-op diet and I'm allowed to eat real food up until I wake up on Wednesday morning. Wednesday and Thursday I'm on clear liquids only and I have my surgery Friday. All pre-op diets depend on surgeon preference.

I'll take an email buddy. I get banded on the 5 of April

At my doc office so I'm assuming its all of them as long as your with bcbs fep, the psych eval must be done before its sent to the insurance company.

I was just approved with bcbs fep. Psych eval, 3 months physician supervised diet, 5 yr weight history, letter from physician, personal letter from you, document of failed diet attempts, nutritionist visit. That's what I remember off the top of my head. They sent per-approval within 2 business days!
