I've lost 70lbs so far and my tats look the same

I am soooooooooooo happy : ) I am finally under 200!!!! ...It was slow... 66 lbs down since Aug 15 2008 but it sooooo joyous when you finally reach it...HANG IN THERE EVERYONE...I have had lapses Cheese doodles...but its so worth it to get back on track...Actually 197lbs is better than cheese doodles!!!

Milk of Magnesia is the way to go

I was approved within 24 hours by Aetna...good luck.

I had my second fill yesterday and as with the first I developed a rash at the port site. This time the rash was a bit more noticable..Has anyone ever had this problem? It doesnt itch.

I had my surgery on 8/15 and have had no probelms...I am on mushies and soon to go onto real food. I love raw fish....Are raw oysters compatible with the lap band?

Congrats...I was banded on 8/15 by Dr. Fielding @ NYU...I feel great..NO PROBLEMS at all.

I cant even find the former opening page..I'm not a techie and I am very confused...

Hi Lisa and welcome to this wonderful site..You have come to the right place for advice and support...I also live alone and in NY. I am being banded this friday at NYU Medical by Dr. Fielding...I suggest you go online and search lab band @ NYU. That site will give you a brief overview of WLS and give you times and dates for their seminars. As far as recovery I think it depends on the individual but I plan on being back at work on Wed. Good luck on your journey...I know it will be worth it.

Happy to hear that your sore throat cleared up so quickly...I am going to see my PCP tomorrow Best of luck with your surgery tomorrow and it all goes well I also will be a bandster on Friday : )

I feel as if I coming down with a sore throat and my surgery is this Friday....What should I do? Can you take antiobiotics prior to surgery?

Why can't we drink caffeine during our pre-op diet?

I feel your pain..I'm on slimfast only for 2 weeks...I'm about to eat my arm off...I so want a burger :tt2:

I met with the surgeon 2 months before my surgery....Thats when my insurance papers were submitted

I submitted my insurance papers after I met with Dr. Fielding...He will bring you to Aja Washington after your meeting to schedule your surgery and she will submit your insurance papers then.
