Josette

hahaha... were you in the military teresita?

Hello Want, My name is Josette and I'm 31 from Michigan. I got the band on August 3rd, 06. I can really relate to what you're feeling. I went to a seminar in Feb and chose that doctor to do my surgery. I went then set up the consultation and the day before I found out about several out of pocket fee's that would be due prior to surgery that I couldn't afford. I was very unhappy with that but decided to go search out other surgeons in my state and find out my other options. I then set up another seminar for a lap band center 2 hours away but had to wait a month. I went to that seminar and fell in love with the doctor. I knew he was the one for me. I set up the consultation and the day of the consult I was an hour from the hospital and got a call they had to reschedule... this set into motion the whole "maybe I shouldn't be doing this. maybe this is a sign.. this process keeps getting delayed!" so I rescheduled and two weeks later went and all went well. Met with the dietician, had a sleep study... got my surgery date for a month later. I requested two days off from work and then my boss called me in to tell me that he had to renig on the days off and i couldn't have them anymore. again the "maybe I shouldn't be doing this" thoughts came back. Then the doctor had to cancel the date because of a conflict... again the thoughts.... But... I knew that I really really wanted this and needed it more then that. So I stuck to it and got rescheduled again and after that everything went fine and I finally had the surgery and I don't regret it for a second. I love my band and I don't miss the 36 pounds I've lost! You'll do great and don't worry. Everything happens for a reason and you'll have your surgery and be on your way to a thin and happy life! Now if only I could talk my husband into getting the surgery! tee hee! Good luck and keep us updated!!

Yay Turner!!!!!!!!! I'm very proud of you! Teresita... that articale is great. I'll join the exercise group. We all have to run up and down stairs 5 times?

*Josette grabs Teresita by her wrists and swings her around the room.... WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO*

Teresita... I got your back sister!!! You know it!!! I went to my monthly checkup with my lapband surgeon yesterday and I lost 7 more pounds since Dec. 19th which he said was amazing considering it was over the holidays. So I've lost 15 pounds in the past two months. He said I'm doing so well that I don't have to go back for 6 weeks. Yay! Breakfast today: 2 slices of lightly buttered wheat toast.

Hello all. I did my exercising last night. I haven't done it yet today though. I did get out and walk the store for about an hour. Does that count? I'm going to do the fitness ball shortly. I have been snacking a little excessively today though. But I did get all my water in again.

woo hoo losingjusme!!! You're rocking it lady!!! Sargent Teresita... I have a 4 day weekend. I have Tuesday off to goto my lapband doctor. Yay!!! I'm going to do my treadmill and the exercise bike tonight. You ladies are the best and I know we can do this. I'm on break and dying for some chocolate but I'm not going to do it!!! Question... Are we weighing ourselves and checking in or what? Are we all going to weigh on the same day? Am I paying enough attention?

I'm so jealous Kristin!!! I love RHCP!!! Shake your booty a little for me!!!

so last night I didn't do the treadmill but I did do my exercise ball and all my set ups. YAY! I drank all my water. I did eat chocolate again :lost1.5lbs: But it'll be ok. I'm working my way off the chocolate bandwagon. hehehe. Hubby bought ice cream and I didn't have any! Today I plan to do treadmill again and I think I'll goto the Gym tomorrow to start swimming.

I'm eating my morning wheat toast. I have already had half a bottle of water. I woke up late so I didn't have time to get a morning workout in

I did 10 min on the treadmill tonight and 30 min with my new excerise ball that came in the mail today. I got in 3 bottles of water.

hahahahaha...the chocolate is all yours hon!

looking at the "who are your "what if"" on the lounge thread is making me more aroused then the weight loss! HAHAHA I have noticed same as wheetsin. More flexability!

Ok Kim... I'm going to start watching Miami Ink. YUM!!!

My #1 man!!! YUMMY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Jesse James!!! untitled.bmp

You're doing great Teres! You're almost caught up to my current weight. Pretty soon we'll be losing together! Wouldn't it be great to hit goal at the same time? I'd drive down to have dinner with ya!

I'm at 36 pounds down now. I'm going to start working out finally. Did all of you see a jump in your weight loss when you started working out?

Breakfast: 2 slices of wheat toast eating very slowly. One 17oz bottle of water. 2 pieces of chocolate (ack!)

Hey Sis! I commit too and thank you SOOOOO much for doing this because I think this is exactly what I need! I COMMIT!!!!!!!!

never heard of that

http://lapbandsurgery.us/ First of all why the hell would a person post NAKED pictures of his dead wife to prove any point? Almost all of the pictures are of different women. The one in the halloween costume I've seen before in joke emails. This is a bunch of BS and I hope it doesn't turn anybody away from getting the lapband that truely needs it. I found the link to this on Yahoo! Answers from someone asking if the lapband was safe. Three or four people were directing her to that site so she decided to steer clear of the surgery. Sad...VERY sad!

You take the words right outta my MOUTH!!!! YUMMMY!

Funny you mention him Jim!!! My #1 is Jessie James of West Coast Choppers! YUMMY!!! My #2 would be Mike Ness of Social Distortion My #3 would be Martin Lapointe of the Chicago Blackhawks (formerly a Detroit Red Wing) My DH's would be: Mariah Carey Britney Spears (pre K-Fed) Ivanka Trump (hahaha)

since hubby is deployed anyways, what's the point of having that. I'd get it out and try the ring you insert or maybe condoms.
