Congrats on having a quick journey and to finally getting surgery soon!!!

omg I missed this one...I definetly won't miss things like that. Like small stalls when the handicap stall is occupied. And low toilets and toilets with really small seats. :thumbdown:

Yes, this thread is quite inspiring. I also hate those buildings with mirrored windows, ewwy.

LOL:lol: my mom has whiskers and I know when I get older I will too I am just happy I am a natural blonde lol :thumbdown:

Congrats! I am so happy I am actually losing before having surgery. Maybe I can actually be in the 300's before my surgery!:thumbdown:

Congrats on the smooth surgery experience. Hope you heal quickly and nicely. Keep us posted!

I was told after I lose weight after being banded and I have a pouch of skin that goes over my groin area insurance would pay for it...

I loled at that. :thumbdown:

I won't miss - Screwed up TOM - Horrible rashes from my fat rolls - Pain in my back and legs - Swollen ankles - Struggling to paint my toenails - Struggling to put on shoes - Buying the biggest size of clothes and them still being snug/tight on me. - Barely fitting in a seatbelt of any car - The laughing and giggling when I walk by - The looks I get - Getting looked over for jobs - Not fitting in chairs So so so so sooooooo many things Wow this list could go on forever...

Mine was at 9:30 only lasted til 11:30 and the test was only 150 questions true/false. I went to Dr. kennel

Just to let you all know my psych eval went well. He said I am the perfect canidate for surgery. :thumbdown: Thanks for all the posts.

Yes, it seems the worst of this whole journey is fighting with or trying to find out stuff from the insurance. Lol.

When I do have surgery mine will be 1-2 weeks clear liquids going into more solid colored liquids...3-4 weeks pureed foods 5-6 weeks going into soft solids then finally regular food.

A really important question is how many lapband surgeries has the surgeon performed. Another one of mine was how their fill appts went with insurance etc.

my 3rd visit for my 6 month diet is june 4th i have 12 visits total. It's actually going quicker than I thought it would. So many people seem to go right through though lol. Welcome and congrats to all the people being banded soon!!! :thumbdown:

My surgery will be around Oct/Nov ...I'm still working on my 6 month diet lol. Don't worry the wait is worth it you should know! Waiting a few months is so worth getting your life back. Good luck!

Hello!!! :thumbdown: Welcome to LBT!! I understand you wanting to live completely. I'm 22 and I have never really lived...have a BMI of 60. I hope you can start your journey soon! Hope to hear from you again when you find out more information or have questions/thoughts.:smile:

Congratulations on starting a wonderful journey to a healthy new you!!!:thumbdown: Welcome to LBT. I would say going to that seminar was the best thing I ever did. Got the ball rolling, and it's taking time...but I am already becoming healthier even before I have the surgery toward the end of the year. I hope your journey is smooth and that it's stress-free. And again welcome. Hope to hear from you again!:smile:

Being that your BMI is only around 32 you might have problems finding insurance to pay for it or a doctor to do the procedure. Do you have any health problems due to your weight?

That's amazing!!! Congrats on the shrinking :woot:

Everytime I hear that joke I start to giggle!:woot:

I can't see my toes. I can but not very well! :woot:

Awwww cute!!! I have a hamster with 3 legs hehe.

I had to wait 2 months before my seminar...and I still have to do a 6 month diet for my insurance. The wait is worth it. The more you learn before your surgery the better you will do. I would wait it out. Good luck!

I'm sure it will. I guess there is also a positive to this...you'll probably lose a bunch of weight! I know that's horrible but it's true, but I am sure you will feel better soon. Good luck.
