totally agree! I know that im not the obese person I was, but I still feel the obese is there!

Hi! I flew 4 times this last month.. I was banded in May.. I didn't even think about it.. SO I would say it did not affect me one bit.. I had a layover in denver and ate a salad while i was there.. no problems!

Good luck.. have fun!

I admit!!! I gained 20lbs to qualify.. I wanted to make sure my BMI was 40!!!!!

I saw my Dr. January 18th for the first visit. I was expecting to be told that I need to do a 6 month diet, but my insurance approved me within one week!! I was in total shock and thought that they send the approval letter to the wrong patient!! But then I was sad to find out that they were booked up until May 8th (my surgery date). I have been counting down the days!! I was leary on dieting before surgery because I thought I better eat anything and everything!! But I thought that would be soooo dumb, I already can not fit into any of my clothes.. So I started Weight watchers January 22nd and I have lost 20lbs. This is getting my mind into the "dieting" mode, the lap-band is not a cure, its a tool and you have to work with it.. So dieting is going to help me work with my "tool" I plan to still do along the same line of WW after surgery. I am soo nervous about the pre-op diet... any suggestions?

I also had decided that If I was told that I had to do the 6 month diet I was not going to try too hard so that I could still qualify after the 6 months.. I know that sounds soo mean!! but I want this dang band!!!

MAY 8th Here I come..
