  1. I will get my date next week, How much in advance do you think they give a date?
  2. What????? My poor students.... I'll sit far away from them... Thank goodness they're adults.
  3. Taller is more ellegant,size doesn't matter as long as you look nice and slim.
  4. Sorry typo... it's 241 lbs.
  5. Sorry!!! It was a typo!! I weigh 241 now and wear and XL or 18-20. When I will loose up to 50lbs. then I'll buy new clothing,because from size large to medium there will be a long wait. So from xl to large there will be many lbs. still. They still didn't call me for a date! Darn it!
  6. You look just so wonderful,did you also have a TT and breast lift after?
  7. Hi, I'm 5.1" I weigh 141 and wear an x -large blouse,some 1x and size 20 pants. I'm depressed about that and no date yet. They will call soon. I'm home with the stomach flu and I don't even have the band yet.LOL
  8. I suffer from Panic Attacks too! Every time I think about my operation I feel a little weird in my stomach. I will take meds before I go and my husband will be with me. I can relate very well.
  9. Do you have any fish or vegetable recipes? I would really appreciate it!!!
  10. This is soooooooo cool!!! Congratulations!!!
  11. I live in central PA too! My BMI is 42,but I don't show my weight,because I have a pear shaped body and always wear skirts. A lot of people say,"You don't look that fat". I am fat and I have backaches when I do exercise. My knees hurt when I stand too much.. etc. I hate it when people take my pictures. I will take some as soon as I get a date. I will get a call next week.
  12. I will also get a new band that has these plastic bubbles around it for a better grip. That's what I understood.
  13. I'm done with everything,I'm waiting for a call from them to see when my date is. I have to do a pregnancy test eventhough I have my period LOL. The hospital insists.
  14. I feel so happy for you guys! I'm not sure if I'm an October bandster or early November. I had given them my old insurance card and I owed them $10.00. For those $10.00 I didn't get the date yet. LOL .... So next week I'll probably get a date. My Dr. said last week in three weeks???
  15. I think we have the same body shape. I am 5.1" pear shaped body. I do weigh 241 right now, I'll be banded soon. Sometimes very thin people make comments like that,even if you weigh 140lbs.
  16. I will be banded soon and I'll ecstatic to break that horrible 200. I seem to make people nervous when I loose weight, because they say the same story about my pretty face. My whole family feels like they are having the lap band. I will cetainly walk and drink water.
  17. I'm glad you're fine. I wonder what's up with the shoulder pain,you're like the fifth person with that complaint on this lapbandtalk... I will be banded in three weeks,no date yet. I had my last appt. yesterday.
  18. You guys are scaring me! What do you do before your periods when you want soemthing sweet?
  19. I was thinking about you,I hope it went well.
  20. Can you swallow the pita well? I heard that bread is a problem. I will be banded before the end of the month, my Dr. said. No date yet.
  21. Please write every day guys, we want to know!
  22. I can help with different recipes,it's my hobby.
  23. I am very interested in helping with recipes,eventhough I'm not banded yet,but my appt. with the nutritionist and doctor is tomorrow,so soon I'll be in bandland. I do have different eating habits than most Americans,but if you don't mind,I'll help.
