I used a great tutorial that realy worked well to get that darn ticker to show up. http://www.lapbandtalk.com/f5/ticker-tutorial-pictures-41782/

Thanks for all of the great ideas. Today I start the liquids. Oh boy, Yum! :bored:

I am having my surgery on June 30th in New York at the NYU medical Center. I am looking forward to finally finding something that can change my wieght and make me feel better.

Hi All: This is my first post and I am really glad to be here. I went to my first info session in March and already have my surgery date. I am so happy that I have Oxford insurance since it does not require the 6 month waiting period. I could have had my surgery this month but I will have it at the end of June as I am taking a birthday trip to Italy. I just want to have fun on that trip. I am working with Dr Kurian at NYU medical and she seems to be really great. Everything has gone smoothly so far with all of my pre-op visits (although the waiting room is way to crowded). I have decided not to tell almost anyone that I am having the surgery because I don't know if they will be supportive or feel like I have finally really failed at losing weight. It is way to easy for people to be judgemental so I will wait to tell them when I have lost enough weight to notice. I am really exicited about the surgery (ok, well maybe the time after the surgery). I look forward to sharing this experience with all of you.

Thanks so much. I am really wanting the date to come soon as I find myself eating just a bit more since I got this process started. I bet that is common. Whateve I won't be able to have again....I want to make sure I eat it before I can't. I just try to envision myself really being down significantly and I get all excited. I hope this really is the thing I need.
