LemonPOPtart

Special K~ Congrats on your weight loss!! :sneaky:

I am sorry about your dad. :sneaky: My "LemonPOPTart" user name is a U2 reference. :thumbup: I went to go see the band U2 in 1997 and it was the "popmart" tour. Their bassist wore a tee shirt that said, "poptart", and they had a huge "lemon" spaceship. LOL I know it sounds really stupid but it was really cool at the time. :eek: I have used Lemonpoptart ever since I've been online. :bored: Trust me, there are no obsessions here with Breakfast pastries! LOL

Hello!! Well can I join the July group too? LOL My surgery is this Friday the 24th!! I have to be in at 5:30 A.M.!! I am so nervous and excited. I don't know whether to laugh or cry! LOL!!

I am scared to death to be honest. In addition to the lap band he is going to fix my very nasty umbilical hernia. It has been killing me for months, and I'm tired of the pain!

I was supposed to be counting carbs for the last 3 months... I'm not going to lie... I didn't. :smile: I only lost maybe 5 pounds, and have only myself to blame. However, now I'm down to zero hour practically, and I've been good as gold with my diet since last week. (Bad me, I know). :Dancing_wub: I pray it's not too little too late. I have a horrific fear of having a liver the size of Texas and my doctor not doing the band. :Dancing_wub: Could my one week of being really really good make any kind of difference?

I'm on Clear liquids for 2 days before the surgery. I'm giving myself an extra day of liquids so hopefully that will help.

*breathing in and out of a paper bag*

I'll be happy when this surgery is over with! LOL!!

Hello y'all! I'm Susan, and I'm having lap band surgery on Friday!! I am excited and nervous! LOL

I have been a size 30/32 way too long, and I am definitely ready!! :smile:

Has anyone here used Dr Baptista? I went to his seminar last night and was very pleased with everything I heard. He seems nice. I would appreciate any input on him.

Someone else here mentioned that she attended several seminars to get to meet different doctors and I think that is excellent advice. So thank you. I will be looking into that. :Dancing_wub:

Here I am again... almost a year later. My surgery is THIS Friday (July 24) and I am excited and scared! LOL Dr Baptista is doing my surgery. :smile:

Thank you very much for the nice welcome! I am so excited. :biggrin: I just called my insurance company to verify benefits, and make sure the surgeon I've chosen is "in-network". He is! WOOT!! Now to get my referral and medical records. I am dying for my first appointment!! :biggrin:

Hi everyone! I'm Susan. I went to the Lap Band Seminar last night at a local hospital, and I am so excited and ready to get started!! I have seriously considered weight loss surgery for about 6 years. I am anxious to get the ball rolling... my goal is to be half the woman I am today... literally. LOL I want a better quality of life... and be able to do more with my kids and not let my weight hold me back. :biggrin:
