GREAT nsv's, everyone!! I am only two weeks out but my nsv is that I already feel more energetic!

WOWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That is mind-boggling!! Such rapid results - OMG! Good for you, you must look and feel fabulous!!!!!!!!!

You can use a 20% coupon at Bed, Bath and Beyond for the Magic Bullet or another one similar.

I went back to work on day 4. It was a little hard and I could have used another couple of days off, but it wasn't too bad.

Whoo hooo, that is amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have Cablevision and several "Discovery" channels but no Discovery Health!!!!!!! I'm so bummed!! I have seen a few episodes on TLC, but not often. I've never seen one dealing with lapbands. I'd love to see them more. I wonder if they will be available online!

Thank you all so very much for checking in and replying to my thread. I am hanging on and hoping for improvement on the nausea front ASAP. I may call the doctor again if needed...ugh...please let this nausea pass!!

Janine, I thank you for your time and your feedback. I sure hope you are right. The nausea is crippling, yet my pain is almost gone! I just hope I did the right thing and that the nausea will pass, weight loss will follow and this will all be successful! You are right...I am a bit scared, I think. It's nice to know you guys are out there for support. Thank you!!

I have been banded since 1/18 (about four days). The pain is absolutely tolerable but the problem is that I am sooooooooo nauseous at almost all times. I am on a prescription anti-nausea medicine (Zofran) which helps but does not quell the nausea. I am also on Prilosec and will be for one month. I am nauseous and often dry heaving/salivating throughout the day on and off. I am terrified of flipping or damaging the placement of my band! But my queasies are out of control! Please tell me it will get better! Please tell me I didn't make a mistake!!! (On top of everything, I am self-pay.) I hope and pray it gets better than this. I am really upset, close to tears. I hope you pros will have some experiences to share and some advice. When the nausea leaves me, I know I'll be so much better but it is just lingering and lingering....help!! THANK YOU!

Hi everyone. This is my first post! What a great thread. Here's my list: Wear cuter clothes, including skirts, short sleeves and great shoes Wear a bathing suit without embarassment Not feel self conscious in a crowd Feel less squished on an airplane or in any tight place like that Be proud of my looks on a daily basis Be able to put on anything in the closet without laboring over whether I can get away with it or not Never pop a button or zipper again, and not have to wear blazers or other tops unbuttoned because they simply won't clothes
