So I guess the "average of 50% of excess weight patients" don't visit this forum. lol

When I was 18 I weighed 115 (I'm 5' 7"), so I know how I'll look alllllll the way down. lol My goal is 159. I am 33 now, so it's been a while since I was a normal weight. It'll be fun!

99% sure that I will be January!

What did she/he talk to you about?

Exciting! Congrats!

So the rest of my testing is scheduled for thusday, the 16th. Just hope they don't make me start the pre-op diet on Christmas or something! Lol

Well I didn't get to finish my testing on Thursday. I guess my insurance approved an endoscopy rather than an upper GI, so they called and canceled. So, I continue to wait.........

I'd tell him about it AFTER surgery.

The website is fine, but I like the old blog format WAY better. My custom pages are gone now. Congrats on the weight loss!

From what I understand, it is before you have restriction and you are starving because you are sticking to the Dr's diet.

HUGS! I hope you are feeling better now!

Sounds like you are doing great!

So that's done. The "apparatus" wasn't comfy but it was much better than I thought it would be. It came off once during the night and the thing woke me up and told me to put it back on. Pretty cool I thought. Much better than having to go to a sleep clinic but I was glad when it was time to take it off. I did have a dream that Sally Jesse Raphael was my therapist. Hopefully it didn't pick up on that. lmao All in all, a painless experience.

Thanks for sharing! Here is mine- http://www.lapbandtalk.com/blog/312-im-with-the-band/

I think what you are doing is fine. If you are following your docs instructions, I wouldn't worry about it. Good luck!

On Thursday I have the last of my testing. Upper GI, Lab work, and Nutritionist. It's going to suck not being able to even drink water until after the Upper GI! It's an hour and 15 minute drive. blah! I will be so glad to be done with everything though! Tonight is my home sleep study. I get to wear one of these lol. I will let you know how it goes.

I just wanted to say that you are doing a great job!

We are lucky to have such great guys! Although I would accept nothing less for myself!

Fabulous!

I'd call tri-care and ask them. That doesn't sound right.

This forum is really dead. All of the military spouses please check in!

My husband had already been in for 8 years when we got married. He's at 18.5 years now, and I've only lived in CA (29 Palms) and NC (Cherry Point.), and now we are back in 29 Palms.

I like it too! I also have an Android.

Good luck sweetie!!!

I've done WW more times than I can count. Still fat.
