    day 5 and feeling HORRIBLE

    Listen, Don't Get Discouraged!! You are way ahead of me. I probably won't get banded until June/July at the earliest! My friend did it last June and had already lost about 80lbs and looks great! Keep your eye on the goal, not the little bumps in the road! :~) Call your MD and talk to someone who can suggest ways to solve the problems you are feeling. They are there to help-you're not supposed to be able to deal with all these new things on your own! Maybe your fluid/electrolyte balance is off from dehydration? That can cause muscle aches and cramps...call the doctor for professional advice. Hang in there!
  5. Thanks for the comments on the photo! Nice to know people are out there for support!

  6. I am early in the process of pre-op Lap Band preparation and was diagnosed with autoimmune hepatitis and sjogren's disease. :thumbup: Besides being chronically tired, and my labs being out of wack, I don't have any GI symptoms, etc. I am in the process of being seen by GI md and rheumatologist. Does anyone have any experience with this? It figures that when I finally made a decision to do this-another glitch appears!:laugh: Any advice?
  7. Thanks for the nice comment on my photo! I'm down 40 lbs now and feel great!

  8. thanks....you will be there soon! keep up with you new journey it is worth it!

  9. omg-the incredible shrinking woman!!! I cannot believe how great you look now! You should really be smiling in your pictures! I know I will be-with your help!

  10. Thanks Molly.. that was so sweet.. It is funny how 7 months ago I would have never believed someone would want to look like me. What a wonderful thing this lapband is!! Good luck and happy banding! xoxo

  11. Hi there. I am just beginning my journey. I've been to my first seminar which was informative. I have been overweight my entire life, and am going to an endocrinologist to see if there is anything that can be done on that front that I have not already been treating. I have a wonderful friend that had the band done last summer and has already lost 60 lbs! She looks fabulous! I also ran into another childhood friend that is at the same step as me,,, maybe she and I can qualify for a group rate! :thumbup: lol.
  12. thanks, I didn't know I put my pics on for the whole world to see. But it gave me a reality check!
