Absolutely! It looks like you are a September Samurai

Since your band will be with you for a very long time, what will you name her? I think I might go with "Beyonce" I'll just call her "B" for short. So my short conversations would go kinda like this: "Beyonce is working this weight off of me" "B" is trippin' (when I'm pbing)" "Beyonce" won't let me eat that" "This is not in B's diet plan" ROFLMAO! (I got inspiration for this thread from another forum)

This is a cute idea. I'm going to post it on another forum. I like Beyonce for my band name. I'll just call her "b" for short.

Our Social/Support group is the most popular on LBT with 45 members and growing! Good job ladies. P.S. We have only been established for about one month!

Hey Claudine, I think I just realized that you are newly banded. How is your recovery going?

Do you have fit tv in your area? It's a 24 hour network with everything from cardio programs to yoga.

Congratulations! I know that everything will go just fine.

I will be banded the Tuesday after labor day and I will go back the following Monday.

Only 41lbs? Girl, that is a celebration. I for one am proud of u.

OMG pprecious! I am so excited for you. I did not realize that your band date was this soon. It seems as if quite a few of us are newly banded or soon to be. It sounds like u r recovering well. Pls keep us posted on your progress. Congrats!

I had a BMI of barely 40. My ins. won't cover otherwise ( no comorbids) I made sure that I met the requirements before I went to my consultation.

Girl u r a certified nut! Now don't laugh but I am an Obama girl! Plus he looks a little like my dh. Ohhhh.... He is the most dreamy nerd ever!

No, but it sounds like something that I would try.

Hi Venus and Chandra, welcome to the group! Congrats Chandra on your bandiversary. How much weight have you lost? What are the pros and cons of being banded?

Good for you! You really have to be a strong person to deal with this whole process (...and people say that wls is taking the easy way out.) humh!

Alright! Congratulations, do u have a surg. date yet?

what does it mean to make a thread sticky?

Welcome aboard! I will be banded 9/9
