Just curious to see who's out there that has used Dr. Monash in Tucson, AZ. What did you think about him? I personally love him! I think he's an awesome dr. and super attentive!! :smile:

My sex life has improved ten fold. I'm still not totally comfortable with myself but I'm gettin there. Nessa I didnt notice a change until I'd lost about 50 pounds, so maybe your's just hasn't hit yet? Mine came just like all of the sudden I felt like having sex again, being playful and flirty and I actually feel sexy now. It's bazzar but oh so wonderful. SMS sorry hun. I wish I could offer words of wisdom.

Don't let people deter you from what you think is right for your body. I'm 24 and people gave me so much crap for considering surgery and now when i tell said people about how much i've lost they say things like of course you're losing weight you eat less than your baby. I just let it roll. I got upset/hurt about it before but I don't care anymore. I'm just happy I decided to not spend the rest of my life fat and unhappy. I want my kids to have a healthy outlook on life and good body images, kwim? Side note: DH and I got married when I was 19 he was 20. Saturday is our 5 year anniversary. and he's been in the Navy for 2.5 years. =)

the seminar is just going to help speed things up with your surgeon. Tricare doesn't require that you go to the seminar, at least I didnt have to go.

I was tricare prime and got approved with no co-morbs. good luck and keep us posted!!

I was banded June 16th. I haven't had one single issue. No throwing up, no PB'ing, no gas. nothin. I swear if it weren't for my restriction I'd think the doctor forgot to put the band in me! This really has been so much better than I ever imagined. Now don't let that get your hopes up. Everyone reacts totally different, so if you have problems don't fret!

good luck!!! Like the others said this will all be a distant memory soon enough! and congrats on bein banded!!!!!:smile:

I'm down for Vegas!!! I don't gamble but there sure is alot of fun to be had doin other stuff.....IE riding roller coasters and fitting in the seats!!!! That'll be exciting!!! :biggrin:

had my second fill yesterday. I asked what size my band is and I too am a 10cc band. He said that I am now up to 5cc's in there. Hopefully this restriction will last longer! I've lost 4 pounds in 2 weeks, and I'm ok with that. Not thrilled but it's been a rough 2 weeks and I've not been eating and working out like I should. So back to workouts today and back to eating right! Hopefully by the next time I go in I'll have lost more!

Thanks Marie!

thought I'd come in and introduce myself!! My name is Jenn, married to Sean for almost 5 years (Nov. 29th) We have 2 babies, James is 3 and Sophie is 8.5 months. DH is in the Navy, has been in for 2 years. Doesn't like it at all though! He's not doin the job he signed up for, so he's not a happy camper! Although he does love the military and will undoubtedly re-enlist. I live with my in-laws right now, as DH is getting ready to leave on a deployment. We are in a pretty small ward, and very few young families here, but oh well right?! What can ya do??? Nice to "meet" all of ya!

i hope everything went well for you!!

cool thanks for the link!!
