Thank you! I am in a bit of Bandster Hell but making it through. Still on liquids until Feb 22nd, then mushies til the first of March when I get my fill. Gonna be crazy!

I don't really call it anything... HE calls it "Thor's Hammer"... wtf?

Welcome :scared2: There's quite a few of us... here's the link to the Feb 2010 thread: http://www.lapbandtalk.com/f84/hey-february-2010-bandsters-106891/ Come on in and say hi.

I had my surgery a week ago tomorrow and I already feel normal. I still burp a bit but I expect that will pass very soon. My incisions are a little itchy but that's probably because the glue just came off. I've been able to sleep on my sides & stomach, clean my house, get up and down off the floor/couch/whatever, have sex etc.. I am just dying on this liquid diet! lol

I'm following you all.. mine is in my signature also!

My surgery went well. I've posted all about it on my blog if anyone cares to read (and a picture of my war wounds too!).. it's so odd to me that that I didn't have a single bit of shoulder pain. All mine was in the chest/rib cage area but 2 days later that's already gone. I feel like I am healing super fast.. the liquid diet is boring but I've lost 8 pounds since my consult a little over a week ago. Today my stomach is making strange noises... not really growling but I think it's wondering where all the food is? lol. anyway, I hope everyone else who has had their surgery already this month is feeling like a million bucks because I know I do!

Hi all, quick update from me. My paperwork was submitted and I was approved on Friday (January 29th) and my surgery is TOMORROW! I will be blogging about the whole experience with my band and have added my "before" pictures today. I will be banded 1 day before my 3 week mark of starting the process. I am ecstatic. If any of you have a blog, visit mine LAPBANDIARY and follow me. I'll follow yours, too!

It's going fast so far! Was referred by my PCM last week. Met with my Doc Monday and the office informed me today that I'll be submitted first thing in the morning to Tricare (then another 24-72 hrs for approval). Yay :]

Hey everybody! I had my consult today.. you can read more about it here!! Also, if you're a Bandster with a blog OR you live in Pensacola / Fort Walton Beach / Crestview, FL OR you're a Tricare Prime military wife - I wanna know you, especially! Get in touch! Let's talk! <3 YIPPEEEE

Tricare can be tricky.. I really worry about some of the people who work there, lol! That being said, I'd call them back and talk to someone different to make sure. If you get the same thing from two people then you should be good to go. I know with Tricare Prime you have to have all kinds of approvals and stuff. Good luck!

I have the following: -Infrequent periods, lack of ovulation when I do have a period. -Hair. Everywhere. A little on my chin, stomach, toes... the hair is so thick! Ugh, I feel like a freakshow carnie! -Dandruff, slight acne but nothing big. -Obesity. Duh. -Type 2 Diabetes. Taking Metformin 500mg once per day. -Thinning hair. I lose soo much hair in the shower. It's gotten much better though. -Dark skin on my neck and underarms. -Skin tags, mostly thighs and one on my eyelid. It's a pain.. I was just diagnosed in Oct 2009, after gaining about 60 pounds in a year and a half. The only symptoms I had before then was irregular periods, dark skin on neck, and obesity :mad: I didn't even have diabetes!!

Lol... Anal is one of those things that feels good if done the right way (ie a patient man, relaxation, and enough lube)... however, if your man is "too big" it is just all out painful. (and by too big i mean, oh say around 9" and thick). this is a pretty much the only thing where "size doesnt matter", imo. lol!
