Wow! There is more out there for the month of January....I am markiing the calendar off day by day. I also cleaned out the fridge and the cabinets. I just hope I can get by the Holidays without gaining anymore weight. It is going to be very hard. Setting around waiting is the hardest thing for me to do.

Congrats. and I wish you well. Keep up the good work.

I hope we aren't and you are right. We got to get this group going. I too am also looking at "FREEDOM" from this old body as well. Do you realize that January is only about 30 days away.

January 8th here...It only taken me two months to get everything done and approved from insurance. I am now just sitting around and waiting for the 8th to come. Boy that is making me more scard than just getting it done. I hate to wait on things. Exercise - what kind and how long is the best way for to loss the weight? When should I be starting this. Any help would be very helpful.

Are you excited about this. I know I am, and can't wait. I wish you well. Please keep me update on your progress.

I was wondering how many is getting banded in January? I am on January 8th.

I just wanted to say Happy Thanksgiving and wish everyone a Merry Christmas. I know the New Year is going to bring me something very special and that is a Brand New ME! I just hope I will be able to handle the biggest change of my life. I just got to keep saying to myself I can do this. I get my band on January 8th and my pre-op diet starts in two weeks. Does anyone have any advice for me to get through the holidays?

Here is a doctor in Hickory - Dr. Leland Cook at the Hickory Surgical Center in NC

The first thing is to open a second bosser and go to WWW.tickerfactory.com make your choice of the type of ticker you would like. Once you have done this copy the ccbb. Come back to this site and at the top left you will see usercp, click on this and this will take you to your properties, find the section called user signature. Paste this in the word pad and you should see it at the bottom. I had to play around a little until I got it to work. I hope this works for you. Any question feel free to ask. We all are here to help.

Thank you all for some ideas for when I get banded in January. I was looking for ideas on baby food and other mushies. I like to plan ahead for the weeks to come. Congrats on everyone success.

Hey Newlife4bev. I see you are going to Dr. Moran as well. The doctor asked me to be banded on the 3rd of Dec. but I was thanking about Christmas and with my family. So I am waiting for January 8th. Have you gone to any of the support groups yet? I went last month. But didn't go this month. I hope maybe next month I will attend but not sure as of yet. Are you on the south or north side of Raleigh?

I am getting banded on January 8th and just wanted to know if anyone else is going to have a new start in January. I wish the best for all the bandsters in the new year.

Wow! I hope I would be doing the same thing. I am behind you 100%. Keep up the great work....

I am going to banded on January 8th with Dr. Moran in Raleigh,NC. I am so happy to see others from NC as well. Willowglen I see you are from the same area as I am. How was your first few weeks? I am getting very nerous about the surgery but excided also. Please tell me more.

I have my approval and my surgery date is Jan. 8th. This is very nice way for all of us to start the New Year. Congrats! I am also worried but I hear this is normal.

I thought things were looking great for December 31th but got moved to January 8th. And this is final. Whoooohooo.

I got some bads news. I won't be getting band in November. It will be in January. My insurance is still working on my paperwork. Please pass me some of that magic band dust so things will go well for January.

I got bad news on Friday. I papers for the insurance was missed placed. So my surgery date got pushed back now. My doctor asked if I wented to have my date on Dec. 3rd but I thought this was going to be to close to Christmas so now my new date is Jan. 8th. I am keeping my fingers cross that this don't get pushed back anymore.

I am so happy for you. I wish you all the luck. I am hoping to have my surgery in Nov.

I am from Raleigh and looking forward to my day of surgery. I wish you all the best and success.

I am in Raleigh or at least outside of it anyways. I hope to be banded also in Nov. on the 6th. I also have BCBS. How long did it take to hear back from the insurance company? That is all I am waiting on.

I live outside of Raleigh, NC and I am waiting for the word for November 6th. I am done with everything just waiting for the insurance for approval.

I too been doing a lot of research on Lapbanding. I never heard anything like this before. My Phsy person told me that I could not drink any Alcohol. I would not worry about this at all.

Thank you Sweetgothic. I did not know why they say not to drink from a straw. I hope to be band in December but I am really moving forward quickly I might be able to be on the band wagon in November now. I hope I do just as good as you all with the weight loss. 58 lbs is wonderful.:biggrin:

I feel the same way. I am so glad I found this site. Thanks.
