  2. Oh wow you getting both things done at the same time. I had several friends who had their bands removed. Everything is going to be fine...
  3. Ok ok lol. Actually I dont have a choice my surgeon says its mandatory.
  4. Wow that's scary. After hearing your story I'm glad I'm getting the injections. You've made me look at it completely different. Thank you for sharing your story
  5. Yes I am as well. Good luck with everything this week ?
  6. This week how exciting. Congratulations
  7. At first I wasn't happy but I got over it relatively quickly. Yes this process started in January for me. My insurance company had all these requirements that needed to be met before they would consider approval. So I definitely feel you about feeling like its yesterdays news.
  8. Thank you I hope so as well ?
  9. I'm so jealous that you dont have a preop diet. I wish that was my case as well. Lol
  10. Hello. Wow that's crazy that yours was rescheduled as well. Still only a day apart funny. I start my preop diet on Friday what about you?
  11. Congratulations. I start mine on Friday?
  12. I'm sure you do especially since you dont have a choice lol. Thank you for the reply
  13. Yes that's exactly what it is. My aunt who is diabetic said the same thing about needle size. I hope so. Still not looking forward to having to inject myself rather swallow a pill. Lol. It is what it is I guess. Just part of the journey. Thank you for your response....
  14. Oh my so sorry to hear you had blood clots after surgery. How did you find out that you had them? My friend is a nurse and she said she will stop by and give me the shot if I'm too much of a baby to give it to myself lol.
  15. I hope your memory serves you correct and they don't hurt that much not that I have much of a choice. I have to do those for 10 days regardless. Thank you for your response ?
  16. So when I went to my doctor the other day I was informed that when I am discharged from the hospital I will be sent home with 3 medications. One for pain, one for nausea and preloaded injections that I will have to give myself in my stomach to prevent blood clots for 10 days following surgery. Has anyone else had these injections?????? I'm freaking out since hearing that. I hate needles. Mind you I have several tattoos. Lol. Medical needles are just different especially if I have to give them to MYSELF.....?????
  17. Oh this coming week how exciting. Congratulations ??
  18. From your mouth to Gods ears I hope so. I'm definitely committed to following the program. I'm sure your weight loss will continue as long as you continue to do what you've been doing. I'm nervous but also very excited?
  19. Omg those numbers are amazing congratulations. I hope to be as successful as you are. ?
  20. That's a great idea I may just do the same thing

  22. Yes indeed that is a must ?
