  1. Good to hear its nothing bad. I picked Lapband for the same reasons. What exercising were you able to do right away? I plan on swimming at Abrams Gym and working out there. Maybe we can get together. Have you meet any of the other girls on here? Have a great day. I am going to go play with my son. TTYS
  2. Hi Gina, I can't do anything this weekend. My sister just move here last week. Actually she is in my house with her 3 daughters. (2,3, and 6yrs old). We are looking for a house. I will be crazy busy until school starts. Then I can breath. So I would like to get together after the 25th. Why did you have to get an unfill? Hopefully no major problems. Why did you chose lap band vs. Gastric. if you dont mind me asking?
  3. Hey there, I spoke with my advocate today. They gave me the go ahead to start dieting. I have already seen the surgeon, just need to take all the test they require and my pshyc eval.. Not really sure what that entails. They said it would take about 2 hours. I may be banded by the end of Sept. Fingers crossed. My husband comes home for R&R in December, so I would like to be all healed and have lost some weight. Southwest Bariatric Surgeons in Austin. I will have my surgery at Seton. My son had his tubes put in his ears there when we lived there a couple of years ago. Will I have to stay the night after my surgery? I am just full of questions..lol
  4. Hi everyone, I just got my approval from Tricare today. All prework preop appointments are set up for Sept 8th.:biggrin: I am excited and scared at the same time. I am in excellent health but I just worry about the surgery. Everything has gone pretty quickly, but I saw that some people have to wait 6months or more. Did any of yall have to wait that long? I hope to get a surgery date by the end of September. My husband will be home for R&R in Dec. I want to feel better and have lost some wait.. oh yeah one more question. Since I am approved can i start losing wait now.. I was to close to on BMI since i have no health problems. I am glad some gals from around here have been banded.:thumbup:
