  1. Hi Corinna My doctor is putting me on two childrens chewable vitamins each day. I started them the other day and they aren't too bad. Good luck on your diet and surgery!
  2. Hey Laurend, go get tested!! My surgeon had me tested because it ranks as a co-morbidity for insurance purposes. Turns out that I have it pretty bad and during the testing they made me wear a mask. After that I researched and found out that sleep apnea can damage your heart. Don't let it go, you are going to want to have a strong heart to go with your new skinny body!!!
  3. Hey Luvlinke! I live in Mechanicsville, and go to the same office as you. I just finished all my evals, and I am attending the Diet class at St Marys on Monday. I too would like to know how long the hospital stay is! Go Hokies!
  4. Hi, I am seeing Dr Brengman who is in the same office as Dr Schroder. I hope to get banded soon. How long did it take to get approved? Good Luck! Mary
  5. I am currently getting ready for the lap band procedure and was wondering about Water consumption. I have been told that I shouldn't drink water with meals, only eat small meals because of the size of the new stomach ect... All my life I have been told that I need to drink a lot of water. Is this a problem? Thanks for your help
