Calling all of my fellow March Banders! Congrats to all of us on making it through the month!! I hope everyone is feeling as good as I am! :confused: But I do need some help... I have started a website for all of us to buy inexpensive clothes as we switch sizes. Right now, it is small, but I am calling on all of my fellow Bandsters, to go on the page and subscribe to my newsletter! Times are hard and I want to do something I have a passion for...and it's this!! Please click on the link and at least subscribe to the newsletter...I will periodically send emails to invite you back to the site as it gets bigger and better! Thank you for all of your help in support...I couldn't ask for more! http://stores.ebay.com/shrinkingsizesaftersurgery

well I just came back to work today, still pretty sore....I went to my doctors yesterday and I have lost 17lbs! So that's always good! I am hoping that this soreness in my stomach doesn't last very long

I am on day 7 of my liquid diet....It is pretty rough some days, especially living with someone who eats whatever they want! :wink: But he has done as best he can, so I can't ask for to much more. :smile: I am now down 7lbs (on my scale at home..so who knows really!) It is getting close now and I am 90% super excited and 10% scared shitless!! Anyone have any tips on what to bring to the hospital with me?? Thanks for all of the help!

I'm so excited!! My surgery date is March 9th!!

It sucks cause I work late on Monday nights, so I won't be able to make it for them. But I guess there is one in Bay City, but it's only got a couple of lap band people. I started my liquid diet yesterday....please tell me it gets easier...this is horrible! :hurray: How has your weight loss been?? Were you out of work for awhile?? Sorry so many questions!! :hurray:

Thank you very much!! I went to my post op yesterday, and all is good...and today was my nutrician class...and I start my liquid diet on Sunday....so only 18 more days until surgery!! Unfortunately I have gained quite a bit of weight lately...so hopefully that will start to go away soon

I just got back from my nutrition class today and I had my pre op testing yesterday (that took forever!!). I start my liquid diet on Sunday....not looking forward to that!! but oh well! My surgeon is Dr Kurt Kralavich....I have heard very good things about him. Did you go to hurley??

I actually got my call!! My surgery date is 3-9-09 I am super excited!! ANY TIPS??

I just got my surgery date today!! I will be banded on March 9, I am so excited, I cried! I know before I start my preop diet or anything else I will need someone to help me, if I have encouragement to eat well and EXERCISE, I know that I can do this! :confused: Please let me know if anyone can be of help!!:thumbup:

I have done all of my paperwork appointments, EVERYTHING I have needed to get my approval, I called and they told me it was transfered to the girl in the insurance area and that she will get to it in 1-2 weeks!! Does it always take this long?? Will it take this long to hear from my insurance company?? I am so excited and worried they wont' approve me.... Any words of advice??:bananalama:
