  1. Hi girls, Thought I'd check in! I had my band surgery Monday and I'm doing great. Just a little belly pain, no gas and I'm tolerating liquids very well. This surgery was much more easier than my gall bladder surgery. Hope everyone else is doing good. Cathy
  2. Margaret, Congrats on your weight loss. 19 pounds is awsome. I'm about 2 hours south of Columbus near Ironton. Looking forward to my band! Cathy
  3. Hi, thought I'd send you a note. Maybe we can support each other..........my lap band surgery is May 10!

  4. Hi Katiepie! Pre-op is going ok. I'm on 3 low fat meals a day or can substitue 2 Protein shakes a day. This morning I had cream of wheat w/ vanilla Protein powder. Not bad. My pre-op is for 2 weeks........how is yours going?
  5. Hi Girls, Love to join in here. I'm scheduled to get my lap band on May 10th. I'm nervous and excited also. It's been an 8 month process (this time around). I'm 51 years old from Ohio. Around 280 pounds and looking forward to onderland! Cathy

    Hair Loss

    I'm currently doing supervised weight loss through Feb. prior to my LAP-BAND® surgery. In my WLS meeting last week we were talking about hair loss. The dietician said to always make sure you are getting the recommended Protein, especially immediately after surgery. Not eating enough protein can show up 6 months later down the road as hair loss. Nioxin was also recommended as an excellent idea prior to surgery and afterwards to prevent hair loss. Cathy

    First meeting......

    Went to my first info meeting for the lap band....well actually my 3rd. The first 2 were trial runs and just not the right time for me. The office will call me in the next few days to sit up an appointment! I'm excited to get this journey going. Hopefully my insurance will pay this time for the lap band and I can complete the 6 month supervised diet!~ Cathy
