U will be fine! They told me all u need to lose is like 2 lbs during the approval process. All together counting all the apts it took from January to may. But if ur just talking the last apt til the day I got the yes call...that was only about 2 weeks!!! Good luck!! Its so exciting and thank u so much for the compliment! !

Thank u very much! And that I'd very exciting! I always grow my hair out then cut it all off so this time I'd figure I'd let it jeep growing to see how it looks when I'm skinny. Then I'll cut it to see how it looks short when I'm skinny lol!!

Good news. Just left my dr apt. And he is very proud. Asked me..When was the last time u lost 19 lbs in 3 weeks?! He made me feel awesome and my exercise I'm doing is Fine. Just stressing for no reason I'm very excited now

My experience has been awesome. Maybe that girl didn't have good insurance. My insurance covers everything. . Don't worry darla

Thanks for all ur input guys. My 1st follow up is wednesday. I'm going back to liquids until then. I can actually eat lean cuisines and things like that this week and I think I got too excited. I don't even like cookies..or cake...or really sweets at all. I was at my friends and she offered it too me. Sounded delicious at the time !!! My biggest problem is getting on the scale everyday. I need to have someone hide it from me

Thanks guys. I just see the loss as motivation and now I just want to get the weight off as fast as I can. I ate a cookie today and now I feel like total crap. Came home and wanted to get on the elliptical but thought maybe I should rest the next couple of days :/ only thing my discharge instructions really mention is not to lift anything 5-10 lbs for 4-6 weeks. I've been dancing, walking, biking, treadmill, elliptical. .alot of different things :/

Hey everyone. I have 2 questions...I was banded on 5/6 and have been working out pretty much everyday for about the last week, maybe week and a half. Today my port sight is so sore. I sneezed and wanted to slap myself lol. Have I been doing too much, too soon? I have been reading stories about port flips and stuff like that and now I'm super nervous. Another thing is, my stomach has been fluttering all day long. Maybe it's gas? Has anyone experienced that. I have my 1st follow up Wednesday and I'm worried! !! :/ thanks

Has anyone experienced pain with their cycle? I know discomfort is normal hut usually I don't have any discomfort at all. Mine started last night and today my stomach has been feeling really weird. I'm asking bc it's around my port site so I can't tell if it's bc of that or if something is wrong with my port. I was banded 5/6 and have been a little nervous I've been over doing myself. Any thoughts? I have my follow up apt Wednesday

Hello everyone! I was banded 5/6 and yesterday had my 1st nsv! My mom and dad have been telling me they could tell I've been losing the weight but honestly I hadn't been able to tell yet. I've been working hard though this past week when I started feeling better from surgery. (19 lbs lost) Well yesterday was my nephews bday and usually I hate getting dressed up to go places bc I've felt no matter what I wear I look awful.(might I add both of my sisters put together weigh as much as me by myself) Well I pulled out some old clothes I haven't worn in a yr or longer. Clothes actually fit!!!! And we're loose!!!!!I actually thought I looked really pretty and when I got there my sister told me how great I looked. I'm so excited! Great motivation! !!! I will be working really hard this summer to keep this up!! What was your 1st Nsv story?!

Thanks sandy. It didn't take 3 hrs for the oatmeal to go down I just set a timer on my phone to take bites every 2mins and that's how long it ended up taking to eat. I was better that day after I drank lemonade and nd have been doing better ever since. Glad to hear u did t experience bandster hell. I think I'll be ok even if I do. I've lost 18 lbs and that has been motivating me to do what I need to do. I have been wondering about energy pills though if anyone knows of they r ok to take? I forgot to ask. Nothing new to me I've been taking them for yrs but will they affect anything? As long as I drink plenty of water and take my vitamins? !

I got the iband. Anyone think that will make a difference? ! By any chance

Awesome! How r u liking it

Hello everyone. I was banded 5/6 2014 and I'm ready to be movin and losin. I've been working out all day. I took a stacker 3 tho. Does anyone know if it's ok to be taking energy pills? I took it n powder for so I didn't swallow the pill. I've been taking them for yrs so it's nothing new. I meant to ask my surgeon but completely forgot. Thanks
