I was told that i had to crush all my pills for the first few months. I take synthroid and celexa and i have been crushing them woth no problem.

Hello all heres my first post surgery post!! I was banded 11/30/2009 my weight was 237 and yesterday i was 225! I have been feeling good i just moved on to mushies this week and so far so good. I go back to the dr 1/12 and hopefully i will get a fill. I am starting back on the elliptical machine tomorrow am. since i am feeling good. Only 1 PB since being banded. I drank too much Water too fast.. felt like i was going to fall over!! LOL Then after a few pats on the chest i was feeling much better. I dont hit the scale again until monday so hopefully there will be a little more movement!

I took my last seminar in september. I went to quite a few before i picked my surgeon.

well i just got my approval and i am going to get banded in 11/30!!!!! Hot diggety dog !!!

well i had mine lst week and we just talked about my life how/why i think i am overweight she did ask if i was on meds for depression/anxiety (i am) if i had any bulemia issues, been in the hospital for hallucinatios etc... I passed and was just approved yesterday.. It really wasnt as bad as i thought it was going to be.

mine also stated that but all that was required was my surgeon documenting that i was overweight all my life, that i have tried and failed at other diets etc etc.. i also needed to have a nutrtional and psych consult ekg gallbladder sono(but i dont have one so that wasnt necessary) bloodwork. since i dont have any comorbitity issues i didnt have too much to do. also i have a 41.6 BMI.

well i have bcbs ppo and i went for my last consults thurs. 11/12 and i just got my approval TODAY!!! holy cr@p!! I dont know how typical this is my thats my story!! Now i just ahve to call the surgeon back and schedule my date!!!!!!!:w00t::lol:

Okay I am 33 yo 5'4 and 238 lbs.. I havent even gotten my surgery date but thursday is my nutritin/psych consult which is the las thing left on my LOOOOONG list of things to do. I am excited and nervous at the same time. What to expect and how i will react to the consults. i am really weird about opening up to people. but i am willing to go out of my comfort zone on this one! I am hoping to get approved quickly. I would hate the suspense of waiting! My biggest issue i think is going to be night time eating. I am really bad with this. I know most of it is emotianl eating. I do have alot of stress right now, between $ and the kids and my DH's eyes and just the fear of our future. I think i am keeping myself fat for a reason. Probably to use it as an excuse of why i cant do things or whatever. i want to go back to school yet the telephone #'s are sitting here on my computer desk and i havent even made teh call. its kinda sad. i am a mom of 4 GREAT girls and i am setting a crappy example for them. I hope with this tool and lots of work i can make a huge change in my life not just in my pants size!
