  1. @jassalynn where are you from? Just meet with nutritionist for final time before surgery, starting liquid diet Mon 6/20!!! Quite nervous!!
  2. Are you on your liquid diet yet?
  3. Thank you! Good luck :-)
  4. Hi, I had the lab band done 8 years ago and this past sept. Had to have it removed due to prolapse. I wanted to do GB then but my surgeon did not do it laproscopicly so I chicken out. I have a good amount of weight to lose roughly 130lbs so for me GB will be the perfect tool to help me with that. I'm pretty nervous!! I also have 2 small boys, which is the most important reason why I am doing this. I have an amazing husband which will help me reach my goal also. No early 4th celebration for this girl I figure ill have plenty to celebrate afterwards.
  5. Hi ameade, I'm also scheduled for GB July 5th!

  14. @@waterwoman, did you have a hard time with insurance approval? I had my band removed in September. Started the bypass process in January. Getting close to submitting to insurance next week or so. Hoping there's no delays :'(
  15. I use the Fusion (strawberry shortcake) the recommend adding some fruit to it. It's pretty good! Not on my 2 week liquid pre op diet just yet so maybe I might have to illuminate the fruit. Not sure :-(
  16. I'm from Boston, MA
  17. It is true! ! I was told that also but I have seen people that have lost a significant amount :-(
  18. I'm at the end of my pre surgery requirements. I'm hoping to get a June date!! Couple concerns if anyone has any advise...1. I'm horrified that my hair is going to fall out :-( 2. On average how long was recovery before heading back to work? 3. Is it harder to get a approval if you had already had a weightloss surgery?
  19. My biggest fear is losing my hair also...
  20. I recently had my lap band taken out due to prolaspe after 8 years. I'm know at the final steps before approval. Does any know if its harder to be approved after already having a weight loss surgery?
  21. Hi all, I'm also hoping for a June surgery!! Last required appt next week :-)
