Well, I have only two days left until my surgery. And everything was going great until I was going threw my mail and I realized that I had a letter from the hospital. So I read it and found out that my deductible we ALL thought was $3500 is really $7000! I just started crying! 2 days before my SURGERY I find this out! I can't believe it. So my surgery that was costing us $8200 (because of some Doctor's fee that's added after my insurance) is know going to be $11,700, my husband was not very happy! Thank God he cares for my happiness and health! Although I'm sure he wants my old body back as much as I do but, he would never say that out loud!LOL He gave me the go but, not with a smile...he'll get over it. But, I feel like there's even more pressure on me to do well....I guess that's not really a bad thing is it? I can't wait for this to done with!! We just got back from a weeks vacation. We had a great time and ended it with Disneyland for two days, we were last there in January and since then I have put on 20 lbs, WOW did I feel it! I can't carry around this kind of weight anymore, it's so dum! I'm ready to eat to live not live to eat! Two more days, Bring it on!!!!:redface:

Best of luck to you all tomorrow! You'll be in my thought and prayers!

Thanks for the advice and congrats on your success! If you lost 100 lbs you can turn this around and get to your goal!

Fee I'm glad your home safe on sound! I'm sorry about the back and shoulder pain, I guess that's pretty common I hope it doesn't last very long. Keep us posted on how your doing!

Who was your Doctor? Because they are charging you a arm and a leg! I'm having my surgery on Wednesday in OC. I hope someone on here will have some good advice for you! But, I don't think your going to lose you house...it might mess with your credit score if you don't workout some time of payment plan with them. I truly wish you the best of luck!

Looking good woman! You can really see a difference!

Your scars are coming around nicely! Thanks for posting those.(:

Hi Tracy, I'm so glad everything went well! I hope I'll have the same story...4 more days!!!

Oh Vegas I'm so happy for you! I am starting to get alittle nervous!

Hi Everyone I just got back from being gone a week. I am so happy I didn't gain not 1 lb!!! I was a bit nerves about it. I can't wait to hear from our 1st group (August 1st Bandsters)! Can you believe this is OUR MONTH!!! 4 More days! I'm starting to feel a little (I mean alot!) anxious!!!

I'm back from vacation and I've been gone a whole week (7days:shades_smile:) and I was all prepared to get caught up with you all and there's only been 3 POSTS since I left! What has happened to everyone? I can't wait to hear from our first group of bandsters! I hope everything went well yesterday! Vegas good luck with everything!

I have not been banded yet (I have 4 more days) but, I don't think you should be eating soft foods yet. For more reasons then just getting it down.

Thanks so much for taking the time out to do that!

Hi Keisha, mines not going to well I need to focus on it more. My doctor said he would like me to lose 1 or 2 more pounds before surgery, so thank God for that. Were going to be on Vacation until Aug. 2nd, which makes me nervous with the whole eating thing! I have to try harder because I really want to suceed on my own as well as with the band. Good Luck with your pre-op Misty

My doctor says to have 60-80 grams of protein per day and as your weight loss slows, your protein requirements will decrease to about 40-60 grams per day.

Vegas I just saw your post. I'm so sorry to hear that!! How did everything go today? You'll be in my thoughts and prayers.

Lellow - I'm glad your pre-op went well too...That's so awesome you have conquered the whole head thing! Your going to do so great with you band! Goodluck next Friday....I'm leaving out of town for alittle over a week so I'm not sure if I'll get on here again during the week or not.

Hi Pumpkin here's the instructions I posted a little back. I hope this helps!:smile2:
