I'm Teri, 36 surgery date 12/19/08 by Dr. Frank Felts in Houston, Tx current weight 240 / goal 150 :thumbup:

thanks all :laugh: I wasn't sure if it washed it all down or stretched out your pouch. I know it will be hard in the beginning, but I'll get it. I think it will be the hardest to resist drinking when you feel like you have something stuck. Instict tells you to drink Water.

thanks Susan :laugh: I'm only guessing that PB = Puke Burp ?

I was just wondering if anyone had any large tattoos and how they look now that you have lost weight. Back in July I had a large koi design on my lower back done. I'm so scared it's going to start looking bad when I start losing weight. I'm excited about losing weight, but I don't want my tatt to look silly :eek:

I've had my consultation and they told me no drinking after eating for 30 - 60 minutes after. I was just wondering why? What does this do (I forgot to ask):thumbup:

I just don't feel like going thru the long process of being approved. I'm in a position where I can self pay, so it's ok with me.

self-pay.... so I'm scheduled for 12-19-08

December 19th for me.

got my date..... December 19th I only have to do a 3 day post-op diet :thumbs_up:

thanks ksill18 :tongue: I may just go self pay because I don't think my Blue Cross Blue Shield will pay for it. I do have other issues like high cholesterol / depression ( I'm on Lexapro) and I'm pretty sure I have sleep apnea. My Dr. was sending me to a sleep study, but I cancelled it because of the cost.

I go in tomorrow for my consult at Lap Band Solutions of Houston. my stats are... height 5'-8" @ 240 lbs. bmi 36.5 I'm so tired of being heavy. I'm ready for a new thinner life.:tongue:
