JOYCE13

There is so much I want to do. Everything I'm not doing now I want to do. I would love to date again. Just to start off, I want to walk up the stairs and not be so tired from half a flight.

Hi everyone, my date is July 21, 2010. My previous date was January 5, 2010 and I coud not go through with it. Too much negitivity from family. Called the Dr. three hours before surgery told him I was not comming. This time I decided to tell only three people. One is still not onboard (mom) but I told her if she had anything bad to say don't say it. I start pre-op diet on 7/7/2010. Good luck everyone.

Today is the day. Surgery is set for 12:30. I am nervous. Doc requires his patients to stay overnight. so I won't be home till tomorrow afternoon.

Hi, I have had a few surgeries and they usually come off in a couple of days. I never take them off they come of on thier own.

Congrats to both of you. I wish you a long happy and healthy life together.

Hi everyone, surgery date is getting close. January 5th. The time was changed from 10 till 12:30. So a week form now I will be in recovery, and on my way to a new me. Everything is done, all visits, tests and shopping. I am so excited. HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!

Thank you, I am going to get one tomorrow.

We have the same date. I go in at 10. I just can't wait.

Hi, I won't be banded till 1/05/10. But I do hope your are feeling better soon. :smile2:

Thanks for your help

Today my dsil and I were going to Philly. But because of the weather we could not go. I had wanted to use that time to talk to her about my surgery and find out how she felt. We were able to talk. She can't wait for me to be banded. She said if she need to do it she would. And is in agreement 100%. Thats one. Daughter says shes in the middle.

I hope not to be using it for much longer too. I use oxygen with mine. I also have miccro brain arosuals, mine brain wakes up every 15 seconds so my brain was always awake. I still take off the mask at night wile sleeping. Can u tell me what the name of the small maching is? Twenty-three more days:thumbup: Thanks

I am sorry about your mom. My mom tells me to try harder too. I have tried for so long on my own now I need the help that the band can give. I hope she does understand, one day.

Thats nice that she is really being so supportive. I wish mine was.

My mom keeps sending me recipes, about 6 per day. I told her that would not be able to make them. My surgery is Jan 5,. She says to save them I will make them in a couple of months. She has not been supportive and has told me she is against the surgery.

Congrats!! My date is 01/05/10

Hi I'm the next day. Good kuck :mad2:

They won't talk me out of it I am doing the for me. I don't want to give relationship advice (as I am not the best person to give it) Maybe you have to concentrate on yourself too. We are all going to be hot. I don't want to be tied down. But sometimes I think is it easier to be with someone who is banded. They understand. :scared2: Thanks

Anul, thanks so much. None of us can give up. It's going to be hard but I know I can do it. :thumbup:

All new me 2010, Thanks for the support, and I do need it. I think my daughter is worried about me not cooking for a while. And when I do it's not going to be the same. As far as friends right now I don't want to tell anyone because of what happened with the other friend. As for my boyfriend who I have been dating on and off for 10 years (the last 3 have been on and off) first 7 were good. I am not telling him. I have decided not to date anyone right now. I have to take care of myself. As my family daughter, mother, brother, Sister in law and neices. I am going to have to sit them down and explain why I am doing this. Your boyfriend is afraid you might leave him. Thanks Joyce

Hi Heidi, I am going to be banded 1/05/10. I can't wait, I am a bit nervous about all the changes. I have started making some changes before so that it won't be as hard.

Nhverve Thanks so much for the support. I hope my mom and daughter come around, the friend is not really a friend.

Well, one month from tomorrow I will be banded. I am happy, nervous and excited. I really can't wait. I don't have the support of my family. My mother says why are you doing this and you can do it on your own. Why sould you starve yourself. Thats why I weigh 366 and she is close to 400. You would think she would be more understanding, My daughter is taking me to and from the hospital. She is really not interested. She's 18 and about 290. When I started the process two and a half years ago (insurance problems) I told my best friend of 15 years she stopped talking to me. Only started talking to me 3 weeks ago. I am not going to tell her. I am going to need the support of my LapBand family who do understand. When I get to goal I'm gonna do everything.

I can't beleive it's almost January 5, 2010. I made this appointment in September! 2010 is our year is time for us to start living.:smile:
