I figured that much I know the medical professionals have seen alot worse it was just another thing to think about .

My scars are very little as well but I was only banded on July 12 it all seems so amazing !!! You guys look great!!!

I say keep up the good work Im sure your doctor will be very impressed!

sleepyjean. how do you add your weight loss ticker?

You all are lucky not only did I worry about my surgery but my period showed up the day of surgery wooohoo if that wasnt a bit uncomfortable.

I had lost a bit before surgery like 50lbs which put me a little under i beleive 37. My docotor just asked me if I was sure I wanted this and I said yes for future weight gain. Im in NV so I think your safe as they say loose 10% before surgery!! Kepp up the good work !

I was banded July 12 wooohoooo It wasnt as bad as I thought it would be !! Im not real sure how to get that weight scale on here yet but since July 12 ive lost another 7lbs !!1 Good Luck all

I wish you the best to Doty we all deserve it!!! I to have had many knee surgeries last one being a replacement . Im pulling to being up quickly as I have two kids that keep me running..

Gosh you all sound like your doing so well Congradulations!!!!! I do mine on Wensday and of course have the jitters. But yes I'll be ok I know. Question for you all how do you get your weight lose chart on here??

Ive been under a few times the last time my lungs collasped . So Im hoping for a better show this time. Im sure all will go well . Thank you for your advise Hedwig..

I will be banded July 12 cant wait .

How do you get your ticker factor on here and do you start from the date you had surgery or the date you started all the work?

Congradulations!!!!!! You go girl Im so happy for you GOOD LUCK!!! And cheers to a new life!!!

Sure you get hungry but its mind over matter just think of it as the starting of your new improved life . Thats how I do it anyway . I have a family with 2 kids so I still have to prepare there meals and all but I told myself I have to do that . Like this weekend We've had 2 bar b ques with about 10 people but i was able to prepare the meals and pull out my shake the second one was easier then the first one. You will be fine with determination.

I have already received the approval . Which was a 6 month fight but everything was approved and ready . So they are booking 3 months away now? I work at a Ladies gym if you want to come in Ill give you a month to try it out .

You are getting close wooohoo its a exciting and differant change I know . I have surgery on July 12 Im doing my liquid diet now I havent had many problems with it but my general doctor put me on a 1000 calorie diet months ago and I have lost about 30 lbs already. I also work at a Ladies gym and work out 5-10 hours a week so I think that plays a big factor. I had to do a appeal with my insurance company but I had about 11 comorbities so Im the first supposely to be approved for the band.

I am using Doctor Ganser . How far along are you in your venture?

Hello all Im very new to this but Im a soon to be Reno-bandster July 12,06 I cant wait a little nervous but ready I hope .. I wish ytou all good luck and happiness!!! Penny
