I think it is neat that we have a SPRING date and and a new beginning on life with our lapbands. I could use some daffadils here, maybe I will buy some to remind me of this awesome journey ahead.

You are so right.... we are in March NOW, i like bunny bandsters too :w00t:

I like that name the shamrockers. Is there anyway we can group together to email, chat, etc. without doing it on an individual basis. Or should we just continue to come back to this thread?

I believe it stands for one under 200 mark meaning back at 1++ in weight. Someone correct me if I am wrong.

I will be an April Fool's bander on the 1st.

Hi Everyone, Is anybody being banded on April 1 like I am ? Just curious if I can have a banding partner.

I will be right behind you on 4/1. Good luck on Thursday and keep us posted.

I have 80-100 pounds to lose. I have lost 30 so far since last May so I am on track. Where are you located? I am in Central IL. Where are you?

I got my consult date of 3/16, pre-op diet 3/18, surgery 4/1. I hope when I wake up they don't say we couldn't band you....... April Fools. ha ha ha..... I will die.

I got my surgery date today of April 1. Is anybody else being banded on April fools day? Let's stick together through this.

Well I don't know this dr. or clinic but I just thought I would say hello since I am from champaign-urbana and welcome you to this journey. I was just approved yesterday and am waiting for my consult date as well. It is nice to see a fellow IL person on here. Good luck to you.

stress too will cause you to lose hair... take vitamins and de-stress. Or call your Dr.

I am with you all. I did my final weigh in this week 3/2 and just hear about an hour ago that I got the approval which I didn't think would happen for 2 - 3 weeks. I am so happy so now I have to get my official letter and make my consult appointment. Good luck to ALL of us.

Congratulations! I am hoping to be there someday too with a success story.

:rose: I have seen on here that most Dr.s do not recoommend soda after LB surgery because of the carbination. Does anybody know if leaving a soda out and becoming flat ok to drink? I often will open a soda then put it in the refrigerator to the next day and drink it. Just curious about insight on this. Thanks!

As part of the "I can change" program I had to lose 5% of my body weight before being approved by the insurance company to have the surgery.

I am not sure, I will give it one more week then call the insurance and my sponsor to see the options. Suborn pounds :thumbup:

I am Sissy from IL and have been part of the "I can change" program through my insurance company as a prerequisit to having LB surgery. I do my final 6 month weigh in on Mar 2. I still have a couple pounds to lose and I am getting a bit nervous over those couple pounds not coming off in time. Hopefully, sometime in April I will have my surgery.
