Well its been a week since I was banded. I have lost 20 pounds in the last three weeks. I have never been so happy. I have gone from clear to creamed foods. Oh yes..soon I can have solids again. I am now on my way to being thin and healthy. Thank you Dr. Carcamo!!!!

Hospital at 6:45am Surgery 9:00 am...yeehaw so excited!!!!:embaressed_smile:

Why want my ticker show??? It really has me confused.:embaressed_smile:

It's a go. I am getting banded next Thursday on th 25th...I am soooo excited!!!!!:embaressed_smile:

Hello, I live is SA right off Marbach and Hunt Lane. I saw Dr. Carcomo on my bday last Thursday and he said we are really for banding. I am so excited. My band date is this Thursday on the 25th. I was first told I would spend the night at Nix. Now they say I will go home the same day. I am happy with mt weight loss on these Meal Replacement drinks, but cant wait for the day when its real food again. My future plans are to eat healthy aways, exercise, and lose all this weight. I have a lot of living to do and I want to enjoy the rest of my life. I have struggled all my life with weight. I have spent tons of money on every weight loss gimack there is with temperary results. I dont care how long it takes and how much I have to suffer if the end result is a lot of weight loss. It can't be as bad as the suffering I have been through all my life being overweight. I have read some of the horror storys on these forums, but the success storys far out weigh the horror. These success storys are my inspiration. I would love to keep in touch with other banders. Please feel free to offer any and all opinions and advice. I am always open for anything. Thanks for listening Choosie <a href="http://www.TickerFactory.com/weight-loss/wSLGZ7n/"> <img border="0" src="http://tickers.TickerFactory.com/ezt/t/wSLGZ7n/weight.png"></a>

Thanks Gina

Hello . I have been seeing Dr Carcomo and Dr Laeos for over 6 months. I had to do the Dr. thing because of BCBS. I didn't have a 5 year record of going to the Dr. I never go the the Dr. Anyway. I have done it all and was concerned when I would hear anything. Then bam out of the blue in On Friday 09/05 I get a call to order the Meal Replacement drinks. I have an appointment with Dr Carcomo on my birthday 09/18 and hopefully he will do my surgey on the 25th. I am so excited. I have lost 7 pounds since starting this nasty drink. But it will all be worth it. I will be going to Nix hospital because my insurance would not approve the place on Data Point. So it means a night in the hospital, but that to will be worth it in the end. I am 260 pounds with a goal of 120. In small goals of 25 pounds each. I love this site i have found. I have spent all weekend reading posts of all kinds and learning so much. Some good some well terrible. But you have to take the bad with the good. Good luck to us all!

Hello, My name is Choosie. I will be 53 on my last doctor’s visit before surgery (09/18) my banding date is 09/25. I am oh so excited. I have 6 children and soon to be 21 grandchildren. My oldest daughter lives in Stevenson Alabama. Her oldest daughter just started Chattanooga State. Two of my sons live in Graysville, Tennessee, Outside Chattanooga. I have another daughter in Chickamauga Georgia. My mom lives in Dalton Georgia. I have a son in Raleigh North Carolina. My baby lives here with me in San Antonio Texas. She just started college. I will be graduating from Texas A&M in December 09. I have been in Texas for 6 years. I am an 8 year widow, but live with a semi wonderful man LOL . Why all the above information? Because I saw lots of people on here from back home. I will always see Tennessee as back home. Even though I was raised on Sand Mountain in Alabama. I weighed 260 pounds when I started my pre surgery meal replacement. Now at the end of day 4 I have lost 7 pounds. (Is this possible?) I just want to say hello to all and hope I can call this home as I need all the support I can get. I am looking forward to reading all the wonderful posting and achievements. Oh my job? I am the administrator assistant to the principal at a charter school here is SA. <a href="Weight Loss - Diet Ticker"> <img border="0" src="http://tickers.TickerFactory.com/ezt/t/wSLGZ7n/weight.png"></a>
