Hi Inhisplan (Love the screen name)

I am set to have surgery on November 9th, just a few day after you. I am also around the same weight and have the same goal as you. Would you like to team up and go through this together? Amanda

Thank you so much for posting your pics. It really help keep me focused on the goal. I have 3 weeks til surgery. Any advice? Amanda

Hi Thanks for the friend request. Where are you in this process?

Thank you for posting your blog. Ever since I have decided this is what I am going to do I have searched for every piece of information I can find. I love this site and I love everyone who post a blog with their story. It is very comforting to hear what people who have had this done have to say.

I have not had the surgery. I am scheduled for November 9th. I am very excited. Please, Please pass on any information you can to me. I want to hear the good, bad and ugly. Is this what you expected? Best of luck to you. Amanda

Thanks, You got some nerves I can borrow. LOL!!

I am really too excited to be nervous yet. How are you doing?

Amanda:)

Yippie Yippie Yippie. I got that wonderful phone call today from the doctor and my surgery is scheduled for 11/09/09. I am so excited. Please pray for me. How you are doing great! Please keep me updated.

Thanks for the website - It is packed with info. I have been on it most of the morning. Please keep posting. Pics and success stories are whats keeping me going. Amanda

Wow! You look great. Keep up the good work.

Amanda

Still Waiting. I have started bugging the doctors office daily now. I have completed everything pre-op and I am just waiting to be scheduled. I am also getting scared to death more and more daily. Please keep me post with update on how you are doing.

Best of Luck AMANDA

Hi sommerbrez,

I just noticed we are almost neighbors. I live in the big town of barnesville (you know-Gordon College). I have not had the band yet. Waiting for Dr. Duncans office to call and schedule. Who did you use? BTW you look great!

Hope you are doing well. Walking throught the Atlanta Airport can be a pain by itself. Sorry you had to deal with it and gas pain. Do you still have anymore pains now? What do you think about your band so far? Sorry to be so nosey, just this waiting gets me nervous and I want to know ALL I can.

Thanks Amanda

Thank you for the prayers. I am trying to stay positive, but I am also scared to death that this will be like everything else and not work for me. Please keep posting. I would like to keep up with your story. Amanda

Hi Audreysmommy.

I sure hope your surgery went well. Best of luck to you. Amanda

I knew it was just too good to be true - I think I will always crave chocolate. I feel with my past experiences with diet, I will more than likely not get restriction right away either. Though I am not going to be negative.

Guess I will just have to see.

I did get GREAT news today. I call the doctor's office and found out that my name has been moved to the scheduling dept. Someone should contact me within one week with an appointment date. YEAH! Yippy !! Hooray!!. Now I can start to panic. Not about the surgery -- about being put to sleep. Oh well, I am not turning back now. Please keep me updated with you and share anything you learn along the way. Share your Tips of the Band. LOL

Thanks -- It is a happy Friday. Just got a call from my MD's Office and I will be notified of an appointment date within 1 week. YEAH!!!

Happy Friday to you!

Your quilts are beautiful!.

Good luck today. I am praying for you. Please post an update as soon as you can.

Yeah!!! You Go Girl. I have not been in ONEderland since I was about 12ish.

Thank you for the pic comments. I have a thing for Black bears. I would love to take you up on the help and support. I have lots of question. HaHa

Here is my first question -- Does the band help you adjust mentally as well as physically?

Wanting to eat just to eat / having craving / etc..

Thanks again - Amanda

Howdy,

I could not help but notice that your start weight is REALLY close to my weight now. I am still in the process of getting my band. I hope to have it within a few months. I also notice you are from Yulee, I have some friend that moved to GA. from Yulee a few years back. Yulee is just not an everyday name. Best of luck to you. Please keep posting pics.

BTW - Did I read your tickler correctly -- Are you in ONEderland??

hey cht5455-- yeah for you on your 40lbs gone forever. I am also from ga. Who was your doctor? Any suggestions. I look forward to hearing from someone close to home.

Cammy - Reading your post in your album was like finding that perfect Hallmark card that says exactly how you feel. I am 33 and 245lb also. I too forget how fat I am and just as soon as I start enjoying myself I see a mirror or a picture. It ruins it all. I do not have a date yet - all of my pre-op stuff is done and I am waiting on the insurance co. now. Please update and let me know how you are doing. I would love all the details (good,bad, and ugly) I am ready for the lapband, but I am also very scared.

It is pics like yours that keep me going on with all of the pre-op stuff. I feel like my day will never get here (waiting on insurance approval now). Thanks for posting your story - you look wonderful. Best of luck to you.

Let me just say -

It is pictures like yours that get me geared up. I am still waiting for insurance approval. I pray one day I can tell a band story like you. You look wonderful. congrats. AMK

WOW! What a difference. You look great. Still waiting to get mine. Best of luck!

Thanks for your response. I actually live south of Atlanta and I have submitted all of my information to Dr. Duncan. I was just hoping to find someone that used him. I am very excited and scared. Best of luck to you
