http://www.myspace.com/mspink_34 Hey check me out :-)

Well i'm now 12 days post op and feel great! I was having port pain from it being stiched to the muscle, I felt like I did a million sit-ups, but that went away almost overnite. I started out at 210 on 8/7 when I went in for a consult as of now i'm 182. I will begin working out tomorrow just doing cardio and upper weight training, but in a couple of weeks I will begin lower weight training just have to let myself heal a bit more even though I fell fine. My brother is a personal trainer so he has been really helpful! I am feeling hungry this week, im still on a full liguid diet but I just up'd my protein and I eat something every couple of hours, that helps! for those of you who are worried about having the surgery DON'T FREAK OUT...it is soooo worth it!

....just wanted to say hi & good luck. I was banded on 10/25.

Happy Halloween Chicago Bansters! I'm 6 days post op and feeling pretty good!

Laurend My BMI was only below 40 when I went in for my consult. I was 5'1" 210 with no co-morbidities, I was approved in less than two weeks. So it is possible to get approved...don't give up.

the dr wants me to have a sleep study because I have not been tested for sleep apnea, and they need more blood and pee, not sure why but its probably for a good reason.

Wow I cant believe its here already. I started researching last year and now on Wednesday I will be banded. I have gone through sooo much to get here, insurance, family, finacial problems, new career, doubts, fears you name it. I started my journey with Dr B on 8/29 I cant believe it is happening.

Telly I am all over this..printed it out, studied it, I will be ready to start once i've healed. Thanks for posting this ((hugs))

I am getting my band on Wednesday too! Don't worry you will be fine...try to think long term & stay positive.

wow what the heck was that all about. I thought my computer was going nuts.

Im glad to hear your doing well. Question do you think a week off work will be ok?

I met with the psych today. It was great I actually talked and he listened. I dont have many people in my life that let me talk usually I am the one listening to there problems. Anhwoo, I am happy to say that I got the green light from him. So next is the cardio clearance on the 10th.

I am going with Dr. Bonomo @ Mercy Hosp in Chicago. I didnt see his name on the list. What I liked about them is that they work fast! Not alot of waiting for testing, or return phone calls. Good luck.
