Hi

I saw a post somewhere in the Doctors/Hospitals forums indicating that you were considering SCLA @ West Jefferson. Did you use that facility? I was banded there by Dr Treen in January '09. It was a flawless process and I find the support system there to be super.

I'm sure you're banded by now and

I hope you're doing well.

Have a great weekend. It's finally dry!

Hi,

I see you mentioned being in Gulfport. I'm in New Orleans. I was banded on 1/26/09. So far so good. How are you doing

Good luck on your upcoming surgery date!

My New Orleans Saints are headed to the Super Bowl for the first time in 43 years!! Geaux Saints!!!

I'm so happy for you! You're doing an excellent job!

Hello,

I've just about made it through my 4-day liquid diet. It wasn't as bad as I had anticipated. My bag is packed and I'm just waiting on the clock. Have to check into the hospital Monday morning at 5:30. I have to stay overnight at the hospital. I guess in way that's a good thing.

Will update you when I get back.

Hi Cymone,

Congratulations on your lapband decision. Have you been banded yet?

Evening Skyjoe,

Tomorrow is my surgery day. I haven't had a lot of trouble with the 4-day liquid diet although I can hear my stomach growling right now.

I'll let you know how it all works out.

Happy Birthday Ms. Vikki!!!

Hey Music,

Missed you. Wondered what happened to you. When you get time I'd love to hear about your band. I'm a music lover.

I know what you mean about being away from home and having to eat out. It's something that we've got to learn to do though. You for sure don't want to sacrifice those 20 'whole" pounds that you worked so diligently to take off.

Have you tried some of these:

Hamburger without the bread?What about Popeyes red beans without the rice. Popeyes also has green beans.

Not trying to lecture you but March 25th is getting closer. Hang in there, I know you can do it.

Have a great week!

I'm doing good. I get my first fill on February 26th. Admittedly it makes me a bit nervous...just not knowing what to expect.

I'm going to a support group meeting tonight. If I hear of any quick/on the road meals I'll let you know.

Good morning LC,

How are you feeling one week post-op?

Excellent news lady! I know you're glowing just knowing that YOU have a date!

Congratulations! What a great way to start a weekend!

I'm so happy for you.

Hi,

Congratulations on your surgery and all the weight you've lost prior to.

Hope you're feeling okay today. Take care.

Hi Craftyknitter...

Have you been banded yet or still in the process? I love this site. So many cool people with tons of information to share.

Congratulations on your lapband decision. If you're willing to do YOUR part, your partnership with the band will bring you great success.

Hi Kimmi,

Have you been banded yet?

Have a great Thanksgiving!

Wishing you the best awaiting your approval.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Hi,

Congrats on your surgery! I used Gas-X strips right after my surgery and they worked well.

Hi Ralph,

Congratulations on getting banded. Happy Thanksgiving!

I'm doing great this week. Thank you for checking on me.

Thanks for the info tmg.... I'll let you know how I make out.

Hey lady,

I have some but it could be worse. I'm working out with weights trying to tone up a bit. I guess "acceptance' is part of the process unless one wants another surgery and I surely don't. I'm a chicken.

You're in my prayers and thoughts this morning! I'm so happy for you!!!

It may not seem like it, but today is really gonna be a great day!

Hi,

You've only 2 days to go. Congratulations on your new beginning!

Hi,

Saw your pic and just wanted to say Hello. I got banded on January 26th. Almost a whole week has passed. Things are going well. Much success to you.
