Hang in there, Yvonne! I will pray for you tonight that the Lord will help you, strengthen and comfort you as you approach surgery. I'm sure you will be able to get back on track. God bless you,

Hey Koz, Thanks for the help on the ticker!

Hi Long2B, I hope your friend hangs in there. Has she reached her weight loss goal? How is her fatigue and energy levels? I feel like I'm in the dark where this is concerned - hope I didn't ask too many questions. :-) Thanks for your help.

Hi Liz, Thanks for the reply - and good luck on your band! You are a little ahead of me in this process. I would love to keep in touch as we start this journey. It would be a great support for me to be able to relate to someone with fibromyalgia. Im no longer able to work outside the home and my pain levels can be level 10 on any given moment. Do you experience any of the "fibro-fog"? I am a little concerned about losing my focus during these bad days and not being able to care a new band properly. What do you think?

Thanks J, I was wondering - Did you have doubts about which surgery to have? After reading the lap-band complications, I became concerned with the 'cost' - in the event one of said complications were to happen. I started thinking , maybe once and for all by-pass might be better, but I don't know.

:huh2: Hello Everyone! My nickname is Ducky and I am completing requirements for Lap Band surgery. My surgeon is Dr. Woodman from Memphis, TN. I am getting excited because my 6 month supervised diet (required by insurance) is complete and I am almost ready to turn in all my paperwork and wait for a date!!!:thumbs_down: I am happily married to my soul-mate and mother of one precious little boy. They are a big part of my decision for a better life. I also have fibromyalgia and would love to hear from anyone who is dealing with this disease. Hopefully, weight loss will help my pain, but I really haven't heard from anyone who has gone through this surgery and also has this disease. Look forward to chatting!

Congrats on the band! Hope you are feeling better soon. I am waiting for final paperwork/scheduling to get mine. I am looking forward to my new tool, but not the pain or the 'gas'..lol .

Congrats Sandy and your decision! I feel the same way. Life long battle and just can't defeat the enemy (fat) by myself. Look forward to hearing from you during our process. Do you happen to know how to post a ticker? I am failing miserably..lol!!! I may have to start a new thread (Ticker's for dummies...hahha) No kiddin' I would appreciate any help you could give me. Thanks,

Hi! Twinmommie, I just finished my 6 mo. diet requirement as well. It is good to find someone at the same stage as myself. Hope to talk more! Good Luck Too!

Hi ! My nickname is Ducky. :thumbup: I am waiting for my lap band and just joined as well. My insurance required a 6 month supervised diet and I've just completed that. Hopefully my wait won't be long. It sounds like you are doing great so far! How many babies? I have one little boy.
