  1. So slime is the thick salvia? My biggest fear about the band is PB & slime!
  2. So slime is the thick salvia? PB & salvia are my fears about getting the band!
  3. I like Lucky Losers or March Madness! I am hoping to have surgery end of March. I should know early March what the date will be.
  4. I am like others...and have told people. I'd shout it from the rooftops if I could (that I am getting banded). I am so proud of myself that I realize that I need help to be healthy (rather than living a lie and continuing to do nothing about it, and getting bigger in the process). It's not a surprise that I am this way. I have found that people admire my choice, and are helping me in anyway they can. Be proud. Tell everyone so they can support you!! :cursing:
  5. $20 a class?? For 6 classes?? That's $120 - not what we had to pay at our first class (for the program).
  6. How long was your psych eval?
  7. No....I am talking about the 6 months of classes you need to attend prior to surgery. There is a fee associated with the classes/program.
  8. I'm excited....went to class #2 last night...lost 9 pounds since last weigh-in!! Woo hoo
  9. There are several guys going through my program. And who cares in the end, it's all about us getting healthier!
  10. I hope you are as excited as I am! :thumbup:
  11. Hi Everyone, I am trying to get up my TickerFactory.com. Where do you put it once you are in "Edit Signature" (in the big message box or below)? Does it show up right away or just a link?
  12. I know I am late to this, I just joined today.... I live in Pgh, and am going through the Magee program. I am so excited for this opportunity. I just started...and have 5 1/2 more months before I can get approved.
  13. Hi Everyone, I am really new to this. I just started the Lap Band journey 2 weeks ago. In my state, and for insurane reasons....I have 5 1/2 more months before I can get approved for the produce to be covered by my insurance (they do this to weed out those who won't stick with the diet post-op). I have been reading others post and it really has given me encouragement for my upcoming journey. I am really excited for this new beginning to my life. I appreciate everyone openess and stories. Here's to us!
  14. (This topic is great!) Things I won't miss.... ~buying plus size clothes ~ugly clothing options ~compairing myself to others ~noticing I'm the biggest person in the room ~wearing elastic for the majority of my pants ~worried about having to share a seat on the shuttle ~thinking the shuttle "dips" when I get on or off ~people looking at me when I eat out ~getting tired ~feeling like a monster trapped in this body ~fat people jokes I can't wait for my surgery!!
