Best Wishes!

Wow, I still can't believe that I will be posting my surgery day experience on Friday. Did any one have an afternoon surgery time? mine is at noon on Thursday.

OMG I am so happy for all of you I am Thursday...EEEP I am really excited though. I love the stories keep 'em coming!

Woo woo I am going to be September 11th at NOON:thumbup:

Birdie, I too have had "last supper syndrome", how ever. Since I have a very short time before I was told I was approved to starting my pre op diet (only two days) I really didn't gain that much ~2 lbs. I ate half of a Large pizza and a HUGE piece of reeses cheesecake in like 40 mins, and I ate till I was uncomfortably full for both days, when I have been doing so well with my own pre op weight loss program. i think that it is just something you freak out about "OMG I will not get to eat this for how long?" and then you shovel it in. Don't get too down on yourself though, because You have made this life changing desicion, and GOOD FOR YOU!! but as soon as you start your pre op diet, you stick to it! Just think about how bad you would feel if your liver was too big to put your band in... and think about that every time you want that extra piece or slice or spoonful, thats what I have been doing. Best of Luck

I have a fatty tumor I am going to have removed at the same time, so I am just telling people that I am having that removed and glossing over the fact that I will be having a lap band installed

I am sorry, insurance is a PITA, just think how great it will be to have tour band though!!

YAY BABY! Congrats

I had my first surgeons consult 1/24, I have my psych evaluation on 1/28, My papers will be submitted to insurance 2/1...Cross your fingers. I would like to get my band done over spring break since I am a Student, I am shooting for 3/10 Good luck Everyone

wow looks pretty darn even...

Because I ate to spite my dad...

Wow, I did not know that so may people lost hair, thats kind of disheartening, good that it comes back though...

I am 330+# and a size 26/28, i would love to be 145# ( I am 5'3") I have never been thin infact, i was probably in 4th grade the last time I weighed 145# that would be a huge huge difference! ( plus mt future DH would be able to carry me over the doorstep after our wedding in 2009!)

Ah no no you are not the only one with that tiny toilet problem... any one every broken a toilet seat?

I am a 50 + BMI (59 to be exact) and I have my First appt with my Sx on 1/24, I am hoping to be banded in MArch during my Spring break as I am a student, baring that it will be mid-may before I can have my Sx. I wish every one well with their weight loss and hope I will be loosing with y'all soon.

1) Be Healthy enough to have a normal, not high risk pregnancy and be able to keep up with my future kids 2)Have my extended family think "damn what did she do to look so good: when they see me in my wedding dress and not think, "hmmm she looks like a giant white tent..." (wedding June 20th 2009) 3) My sex drive is already pretty high, but i would like to be able to try some new positions... 4) Be smaller than my future DH 5)Be able to play in they yard with our dog and not be winded after five mins 6) Not think my Dad whom I love very much is thinking fat daughter, skinny daughter every time he looks from me to my sister ( she is beautiful Brown1 hair, Blue Eyes, 5'0", Full B cup, 115# soaking wet... you know the type...:biggrin: 7) Get rid of my "Never Trust a Skinny Cook" Tee 8) Not mentally evaluate every chair,booth seatbelt, stair case, door frame, barstool, bed frame, etc. that comes my way... 9) Wear they short skirts of my youth... while I have always been big i used to carry all of it in my stomach leaving me very beautiful trim legs, my fat has now found a new home at the top of my thighs 10) Feel sexy in my lingerie

I have been heavy literally as long as i can remember, I mean 3-4 yrs old i have memories of kids making fun of the fat girl (me). I weigh 330 # right now, and i have a consult with my surgeon Dr.Fass on the 24th. What I am worried about is having to live thin after losing the weight. I have never been able to shop in "regular" stores, I have never been able to walk into a Victoria's Secret or Charlotte Russe ( my very thin sisters favorite store) or a for ever 21 or a wet seal, hell most of the time I have trouble in Target, Old Navy, and Walmart. I am afraid that because I don't really know how to dress my body in clothes that don't really do anything but just fit, i will be totally at a loss with my new body, not to mention the inevitable extra skin. I also feel like being fat has always been a part of who i am , and i am worried that I may loose some of myself with the loss of the weight. Did y'all else feel this way before your surgery? Just Curious...

Oh my god they are beautiful don't change them
