want_so_bad

nicole. thanks for the list.

for those of you with around that much to lose, how much did you lose before your first fill. i have found lots of posts about how much people have lost to begin with. i was just wanting to narrow it done to people with about the same as me. i have been told that the more you have to lose, the faster your loss is to begin with. thanks!

<p>i am to start my pre-op diet on the 9-24. i have to do clear liquids the first 5 and then liquids the second 5. so my question is, can you take diet pills during this time? you know, something to help squash the hunger? do you get terribly hungry? i dont even know...i am so excited to get started, but also kinda nervous, like, what if i cant do it? but i can, i know i can, i want this so bad and have waited SO long to be thin! like my whole life! thanks for the help.</p>

i didnt qualify for surgery in the states, so i am headed to mexico oct 4 w/ dr huacuz. i dont know if the hospital will require pre-pmyt or not. you could always ask them, and ask them if you could set up some sort of pymt plan?? best of luck.

nan42--- i am the same way. my bmi is on the lower end and i couldnt find a doctor in the states that said i qualified for the band. i am being banded oct 4 in tj, mexico by dr daniel huacuz. he has banded several people i know and everyone has great things to say about him and the care you receive. i know his staff as been incredibibly helpful this far.

ok, so i am seriously having a hard time! i am eating everything and thinking of what else i want to eat "for the last time" even though i know its not really going to be like that. i have a countdown going in my head until sept 24--the day i start my 10 day pre-op liquid diet. i posted before i have this sick way of rationalizing what i am doing b/c i am not gaining any weight from my little binges...not good though. and i know this! the scale has been going down a pound or two and back to what it is, but never higher. maybe i am not binging as bad as i think i am? oct 4 is just around the corner. i am so excited. i keep picturing all the cute clothes i will finally be able to fit into. omg, for the first time in my life, i will be thin!!! its an amazing thought, a scary thought, allmost overwhelming, ya know?

i have yet to see where these parking spaces REPLACE a handicap space. around here, they are located after those designated for the handicap. i agree w/ the other poster, i dont think you have small children! and just why does it bother you so? whats the problem?

i just posted in the other thread for october but will do so again here. i am scheduled for oct 4 w/ dr huacuz in Mexico. i cant wait. this seems to finally be the answer for a life time struggle! i have to do a liquid diet 10 days prior to surgery. right now though i am definately on a crash course last meal sort of plan. then i feel super guilty and do good for a few days, then panic and binge. i am staying steady at my weight so i justify it to myself in some sick way. any ideas on how to get myself under control a bit better? i am so excited, but also getting nervous. i have just 2 weeks left to before i start my pre-op diet. the thought of it finally being so close is exciting and scary all at the same time.

<p>i get banded oct 4! i am so excited. not too much longer! i have to do a liquid diet for 10 days prior. i am a little nervous about that, but i want this so badly i dont think it should be too big a problem for me. i am having my procedure done in mexico by dr huacuz. has anyone else used him? i have a friend that did and several of her friends and family have and they are all doing great, its just amazing to see the before and after pictures. i cant wait to be an "after"!</p>
