i would make sure that I showered the night before my weigh ins at ww because if I showered in the morning (went to a morning meeting) it added as much as 3-5 lbs. I hear girls saying they wiegh themselves after the shower and i let them know weigh before you get in the shower bladder empty and nikid. they don't know if to believe me or not

since surgery on Monday today is the first day I have not weighed my daily I even asked my husband to hide the scale and he did not thinking I was kidding him

we well see how he feels when he is at a weight where he can weigh at home.

Good job Gwen! Keep up the good work!

thank you Kathy I am upto 5 days meaningful exercise monday and Tuesday not much because of surgery but am getting back into it.

5/21 days of meaningful exercise

I AM BANDED YEAH FOR ME!!!!!!!!!!! went in on the 20th got there at 545am was to be there by 6am at 625 my dh went to find out why it was taking so long others that had came in after us had already been taken back and the receptionist snapped at him that there were alot of patients there that day and they would get to me when they could so at about 640 a cna came and got me then proceded to lecture me me about what time I was told to be there. i looked at her and calmly said that I had been there since 545 15 minutes earlier than the time I was told to be there all she could say was "oh, well now we are going to have to rush you" told her to talk to the receptionist

anyway they took me to the surgery room the next thing I knew they were asking how I was and I told them I have a headache and so they covered my eyes with a cool cloth. they had me orgininaly as an inpatient but moved me to outpatient at some point that I liked did not want to stay the night.

My husband and I are LDS and going to be banded. mine on 8/20 and his on 9/10 hope all is well with all

I'd have to agree. I think there are bits and pieces that are missing from this story. And something that makes no sense:

>>She got mad & said we can go have it taken out. (no because She signed the waver saing it could only be removed if it was a medical emergency.)<<

Impossible.

I agree something is not right about this. I wanted to learn more about the op so I went to her public profile. looked up her other posts it appears she is from Bismark, so....maybe HIPPA is not big there. but it is interesting to read posts about her being a doing a pre-op diet and testing different shakes. but I found most interesting was the following

New member, just banded hoping all goes well

Hi! I'm excited to have found this site. I was banded on Dec.18th 2006,by Dr. Schmit, all is going ok. I am having some problems with my stitches dissolving before the incisions have healed, and they wont restitch them shut, Other than that it is going well. I go back for my first check up on Jan15th 2007. I am still on a liquid diet trying to transistion into the 2 weeks after surgury diet. I'm a college student hoping to change my life(and health) with this surgury and avoid joint replacement beings I am a mechanic that is enevitable but I'm hopeing with this it will postpone it alittle. Hopefully I'll find some helpful hints to help me along the way here (like recipes, exercise, and any information about first check ups, etc.)

If you can give me any tips I would be extremely greatful.

seems to me she has had a change of heart and now is blaming others but who knows maybe the above is not true and the story of her family is.
