Good for you!!!

Carrie I to take cholesterol and blood pressure meds... I've been taking them all most a year now and I just turned 28 yrs old. I went to dr for check up the other day and My cholesterol was 170... it was 257 before I lost anyweight. Also my blood pressure as of right now is in normal range and my dr says as long as I keep losing weight it will get better and better and before long she will take me off both medications. Take the medication if your dr thinks it will help. You losing weight will get you healthier and you will probably not even need it any more. Good luck and don't stress over this... its just a bump in the road and it will only make you strive to lose the weight and to get to a healthier new you that won't need medications to help you be healthy anymore.

Hi Tiffany I was only off work 1 week after my surgery and the pain those first few days is all worth it now to be banded and losing weight. I've lost 66 pounds in 7 months time. The first month of being banded I lost 14 pounds. every one of us is so different and some lose faster or slower than others. You can do this.Your band will give you that extra push you need to succeed. I now your worried right now and that is completely normal but you will not be sorry once your banded you will be glad you had it done. Good luck and best wishes for success with your weightloss!!!!

Congratulations on getting such wonderful news!!!! Good luck to you on your upcoming surgery!!!

Happy Birthday!!!!! hope your day was special!!!!!

WOW!!!!!! Trish that ring is a knock out!!! So pretty!!! That hubby of yours should stop spoiling you..... and HE SHOULD DANCE WITH ME!!!!! LOL!!! After all you know we've done that before !!! HEHE!!!!

I think it is only natural to be nervous. this is a big step in your life and therefor should cause some major anxiety. I think you are perfectly normal and that you will be so relieved when it is all over and done and your home safe and sound. Be emotional... its okay!!

I was outpatient surgery too and I was put out like a light!!! I couldn't even count to one. It came out wuu!!! I remember nothing except waking up in the recovery room and it ony seemed like a few minutes had passed.I had my surgery about 7am and was home by 1pm that same day!

I started walking for excersice about two weeks after I was banded. I still walk several times a week but..... I reallly need to step it up a notch and join the gym or something!!! Good luck wit your band and with your excersicing. Start out slow and work your way back up as you feel ready!!

I have no problem with popcorn. I also drink with thriugh a strw. No problems with that either.

You are all in my thoughts and prayers!!! ((((HUGS)))) My prayers and wishes for you are ~ PEACE ~HEALTH AND SAFETY!!!!

Beth if you get banded you will not be sorry. I to was over weight through alot of my child hood. I was banded 6 months ago and if I had it to do over I would do it again! I'm down a total of 66 pounds since febuary 2005. I feel 100% better about myself since being banded. I have hope that each day I get up, will be one more day my knees don't hurt when I stand all day and 1 more day to run and play with my 6 year old daughter and 1 more day to be able to excersice without feeling winded as quickly....1 more day to live life instead of sitting around feeling sorry for my self. Life is so much better and healthier for me and I'm only half way to my goal. But I know that with my band I will get there.... and that is something I was never able to say before being banded. Good luck with your decision!! I wish you lots of love, health and happines!!

Thanks for sharing my HAPPY TEARS!!! LOL!! Thanks for your encouraging words.... special people like you make me want to be even more dedicated to this lifestyle.. because you believe in me!!! Thank you!! Good luck to you in your weight loss journey!!!

Good luck to you and what ever desicion you make will no doubt be a wonderful journey to a new and healthier you!!! Please post and let us know how your doing and all about your success...... your wished lots of it!!!!
