he will band me on Dec. 10th. Shoot, I just found out Mid Oct that i was approved. I called to schedule the surgery, they only had one day in Dec. I took it. So, I don't think you will have to wait too long, not 6 months. You still need a month to do the following.

2 week diet

I am on the 5 day of the diet. I have lost 7 lbs. write back

I started my pre-op diet Monday and have lost 7 lbs already. I get the lap band on Dec. 10th. I just can't wait. Chatting with others on this website has really got me excited. It feels good to know that I will be able to loose the weight and look good again, not to mention getting rid of foot problem and back problems.

Hi!!

My name is Ashlee and I am so happy! I just got word yesterday from my insurance company (Anthem) that my lap-band was approved!! I should know more about a date within the week. I am so psyched and ready for that challege that is ahead of me!!! I am 5'10'' and I weighed in at 322 pounds, which is more than I have ever weighed in my life (and I have NEVER been thin). I am so ready for this, does anyone have any advice for me??

Thanks,

Ashlee

:whoo:

congratulations ! I was so excited too. I am still excited.

I think it is so great to be able to chat with people that are getting or have the lap band. i really need to start doing my homework. i would like to share everything with yall. we can learn from each other.

I am drinking the Slim Fast with High Protein shakes; 1 for Breakfast and 1 for lunch with a small piece of fruit. at dinner they suggest 4 oz of chicken, turkey, ham, or roast beef that is fat free like Hillshire Farm from the deli section. Also, I can have 1 cup of non starchy veggies and 1 healthy pc of bread. I really look forward to going home and fixing my dinner. It is always so good! I hated to cook, but I think I will learn to enjoy now.:hungry:

ok, so how do you get the ticker to show up?

i figured out how to get my ticker.

hi there. i get banded dec.10. i am so excited. i am very new to this website and not sure what i am doing

shalee, you and i are about the same age and weight. i really am interested in knowing how you are doing? feeling? etc,

i see you lost 25 lbs already. is that just in the 2 weeks since being banded or that plus 2 weeks of preop diet? i want to have a ticker. i am new to this. how do i do it?

when are getting banded? I am getting banded on dec. 10th. we seem to be on the same schedule. It's great to chat with someone in the same boat as me.

i am so excited too. I am on my 4th day of the liver shrinking diet. i haven't felt hungry either. today I was a little. Just like you, I really can't wait to get home and fix me a plate of real food. I hate to cook, but now I will learn to enjoy it.

so when were you banded? how do you get that cute ticker put on here? i am new to all this.

my headache is gone. It was from Monday afternoon to Wednesday morning and then it was gone.

hi,

i am on the 3rd day of my pre opt liver shrinking diet. i got a bad, really bad headache on day one and it finally went away last night. so it lasted almost 2 days. You are doing a good job on the diet becuase you are not taking in the sugars you normally take in. that is why you have a headache. good job. just relax in a dark, quiet room as much as you can. it will be over soon.

Hello everyone. I just found this website.

My name is Jeannette and I will have the lap band on Dec. 10th. I start my liver shrinking diet tomorrow.:omg: I need lots and lots of help and possitive influence. I have a bit of doubt of my success. I want it so bad and i am going to try so hard. I just know it will be a 24/7 thought process to follow the proper eating/drinking program. I need to talk to others that are going through the same thing.

Please write back.
