Yes, we got our bands!! I'm so excited!! Aren't you excited??? I'm so excited I just can't hide it we about to lose some weight & I know we like it!! Lmaooooo!!

Hey Ms. Chaval!! I'm glad to know that you are doing well!! and things went well for you!! I'm doing great!! No pains just discomfort but that is to expected, overall I too am very happy with my choice/decision to have surgery. A few of my freinds were not happy when I told them what I ad done but if they love me like they say that they do then they understand that this was the best thing for me. I can't wait for the swelling to go down and the hospital fluids are gone. I am dying to know how many cc's I have in my band already. I'm glad that your boyfreind is so helpful & understanding!! That's really sweet!!

Lol!! Yes Ma'am!! I am going to take it slow these next couple of days but isn't it strange that I have no type of pain at all. If I did not take the Upper GI Series test and seen the band I would not even think that I had the band. It's crazy!! But I will take it easy.....will keep ya posted. How are you doing?

Hey Hey Vikki!! I'm doing great!! Well, I went to work for a few hours then left work around 11:15am to go to the hospital for surgery. Surgery went well, I am home now resting no gas pains just a little discomfort been walking every since I got out of surgery. My dr. found hernia's which he removed when he went in to band me. I am greatful that he used the same incisions from my gastric bypass back in 2004. I am doing great. Oh, since I have a band over the gastric bypass he gave me a fill already in my bad to prevent slippage and to secure the fit. I'm just surpised that I have no gas pains or anything. Yeahhhhhhhhhhhh, I'm on the other side!! :tt2: :thumbup::lol:

Thank you so much!!! I am so excited I can't sit still to save my life!! I went to get me some more protein & liquid vitamins today! I ahve so much energy I'm fixing to burst!! I'm just a little sad that it won't be done to in the morning like I expected. I can deal with the afternoon but I'd prefer early in the morning like normal surgeries...lol!! I will keep ya posted. Think I will go get my hair done tomorrow....need to do something to keep myself busy...lol!!!

Good Morn-Ting, Mama!! I doubt that you will gain it back what I would like to suggest is up your protein to 60 grams per day if will keep you fuller longer! Also, if you can up your fiber intake too it will help you out until you are to get your 1st fill. If you need some ideas on some good (liquid) proteins let me know. I know of some that are really good tasting. I'm so glad we have a snow day today at work but I am so tired of all this freaking snow!! I'm about to call the nurses staion to see what time I have to be to the hospital on Monday......Yeahhhhhhhh!!

Lmaoooooooooo!! You are too funny!! I might take my laptop with me!! So I can get online. I wish they did it as an outpatient procedure but they don't at this hospital....dang nabbit!! Now onto you mis missy!! What was going thru your mind when you put on them jeans???? Lol!!! I went and brought me 4 pairs of pants with an eslastic band i will be wearing them over the next couple of weeks!! Hmph!! They going to think I am wearing a uniform at work got them in all colors. I am not playing!! They just going to have to deal with it for a minute...I am packed and ready to go!!

YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! :lol::lol: Doing my happy dance!!! go Ms J!! Get ya band on!! Go Ms J Get ya band on!!! Glad it went really well for you!! YEAHHHHH!!! I can't wait till Monday!!! Get Ya rest Mama!! I'll be checking in on ya!! :thumbup: ~Smooches~

Hold up one dang minute!! Lol!! Are you home already???

Hey Mama!! Just passing thru to check in on ya & see how ay doing?? ~Smooches~

Lol!! Capri's are my favorite!!! How did you know....lol!! I did not even think about those type of pants. i have been trying to find anything that was loose fitting with an elastic band for after the surgery. I am so pumped!! I can't wait!!

Yeah, about the protein increase it to to 60 grams per day you will see the weight loss pick back up again. If you need some good protein supplements let me know I know some that don't taste have bad....

Well, from what I am told my insurance requires I night stay in the hospital for the LapBand. They don't even cover the Rose procedure as of yet....I did not even know that the band curved, wow! Ya learn something new every day. Grrrrr!! I wish Monday would hurry up & get here already!!My girlfriends are going to have a fit when they find out what I'm doing. I see a family meeting in my future....LOL!!How are you feeling?

Good Morn-Ting (in my Madea voice!!) Lol!! I am doing well just wish Monday was here already!! Gurl I am so ready that I am packed already for my over night stay in the hospital!! The bag is by the front door!! Lol!! Okay now tell me why ya nervous, mama??

Lol!! Yes, we do have alot in common so to speak. Yes Prednisone is a the devil!!! Lol!! I was doing 90 mg per day for 90 days then slowly they would lower my dosage until I was off of it all together. However that is one of the things that they give asthma patients to help open up their passage way. It has no many great uses but the side effects of the drug is the worst!! Especially excessive weight gain.

I feel that the band over my GB is going to be great for me. I just wish Monday was alreay here. I am so sick & tired of all this weight!! Besides I can't fit anything and I refuse to buy any clothes in a larger size!! I simply refuse, especially now that I'm having surgery, nope I will wear whatever I still can get into (which is anything stretchable) so what it looks like the same pants everyday!! I tell folks think of my outfits as uniform....lol!! :lol:

Heyyyyyyyy Mispristy!!! That's what I'm talking bout!! Back to work already. I'm hoping that I can do the same they want me to take a week off no can do it (without pay???) nope nodda doin it!!!! Yes, 5 more days I am so ready!! my clothes are packed for my overnight stay and the suitcase is by the door!!! Hmph!! I am not playin!!

Which band did you choose? I told my doctor that I wanted the AP Band which is the one that is more circular with the rough ridges that when it's inflated it looks like a circle still....However depending on my antamony (as they put it) will determine which one I will get one of the AP band sizes I will get. Since this is a revision to my gastric bypass that I had in 2004 he told me more than likely they will be filing my band so that it will fit around the valve to my stomach pouch.....I wish today was Friday!! Hmph!! Anywhoooooooo, I am glad that you are doing well. How are you doing with your proteins & stuff??

Hey Ms. TMG!!! How are you doing girlie?? Yes, 5 more days!!! I am so excited i can't wait!!! I am already packed for my night stay in the hospital. My suitcase is by the door already!!! Lmbooooooo!!! My dr. did not put me on a pre-op diet but he is having go on liquids 48hrs before my surgery. I guess becuz it's a revision to my past gastric bypass not really sure. However I did get all of my protein already all that is left for me to get is jello, crylight popsicles, pudding & kids sippy cups to sip out of and i am done. I am so excited!! How's things going with you??
