Glad that you are doing well!! How much proteing are you getting in per day? Uping your protein intake can give you that extra push that you are seeking. Well the way that my dr. puts it that my pouch itself has not stretched but the valve opening which is connected to my pouch has stretched from 1cm to 3.5cm which is allowing food to dumo right into my stomach why I never seem full. So what they are going to do is put the band right above that valve and my stomach. So you can say that I'm going to have the band over my GB.

I originally had my surgery in 2004 and just gained my weight back in 2008 when I was put on presidone to treat my eczema which caused me to pick up 75lbs too quick for my lil ole body to handle (I'm 4'11 1/2). And NO you are not being nosey...it's fine sweety!!

Heyyyyyyyyyyy Sweetie!! I am about to bust!!! I wish today was friday!! Hmph!! I am already packed for the hospital!!! The suitcase is at near my door!! (Truly sad I tell ya!! lol!!) I will definately keep ya posted how are you doing??

Funny thing is that I am not nervous at all, lol! I'm not sure if I you caught my previous posting about this but this will be my 2nd bariatric surgery. The 1st was back in 2004, I had the gastric bypass, which I did very well. Until I was put on meds to control my exzema (presidone for 90 days) Gurl I blew up!! I put on 75lbs with the quickness!! Too darn fast for my lil body.

So I discussed the procedure with my PCP & he was like sure I'll approve it and that's how I am here today getting a revision to my bypass surgery. I must be weird but surgery does not scare me for something reason.....lol. But I am a punk when it come to needles. That's why I don't know how the heck I'mma survive the fills..lmao! Oh, my dr did not put me on a pre-op diet, all I was told to stop partying no drinking and to go on liquids 48 hrs before surgery. I have all my proteins & stuff I am ready!! I'm so ready put me to sleep & wrap me w/a band!! lmaoo!! How much protein are you getting in, in a day?

Hey Ms. Chaval...........Good Morn-ting!!! (In my Madea voice!!) How are you doing?? Mr. doctor did not put me on a pre-op diet. They just told me which meds to advoid and 48 hrs before surgery I am to be on straight liquids and no drinking!! I had my last drink yesterday after I went to p/u my protein & other stuff. I can not wait!! I am so ready!! So ready to the point that I'm already packed to go to the hospital!!

Good Morn-ting!! (in my Madea voice!!! giggles) I have surgery next Monday 3/1/10 Yeahhhhhhhh!!!! Hot damn i just can't wait!!! Yeahhhhhhhhhhhhh!!! How are you doing Ms??

It's okay w/the late response glad you got back 2 me I'm not nervous 'bout the surgery @ all this will be my 2nd bariatric surgery (gastric bypass 2004) did really great until the meds which caused me 2 pick up 2 much weight 2 fast only thing scares me is the fills, I seen the needle! My dr numbs the area 1st but I hate needles w/a passion!! I am a straight punk!! lol!!

I pray that your next fill is better than your 1st one Mama!! Are you getting in all your protein?? How much are you getting in, in a day? I have some really cool info on extra protein I can give you if you like. Looking forward to chatting with you soon. Keep me posted....Smooches!!

Gurl I have not gotten back too focusing on school since I don't know when! :confused:First my step-mom took a turn for the worst her passing did something 2 me but I found out that right after she passed and planning on what 2 do next I got the call that I was approved for surgery that I need to come in 1 final time to pick my date & pick up my pre-op paperwork :lol:All I could do was cry 4 joy @ my desk! Every since then I have not done a darn thing w/school I'm bout 2 email my professors 2 let them know of all the things that's been going on so I don't fail none of my classes. Sad thing they r all online but I can't leave this site & the one's I've joined on facebook it's a sickness gurl a sickness I tell ya!!:eek:

I have not been put on any pre-op diet I guess becuz this surgery is a revision to my gastric bypass surgery I had in 2004. I can't wait you are definately going to have to keep me posted!!! Where are you located in TX? I have alot of family/friends in TX:thumbup:

Wowwwwwwwwww!! That would really be great!! I would love to speak with him!! It's more helpful when a trainer knows about weight loss surgeries and the limits that we have!! I have been looking for a place to go to that have water workouts the I tried looking into the YMCA but they are expensive as H-E-double hockey sticks girl!! So yougot an advantage. I can wait to the next meeting I will be post-op and ready to get in gear on my workouts!! I got my Wii Fit Plus going to get the EA Sports gots my vitamins & protein liquid & power!! I am ready!! Come on weight loss!!! Where do you work out at?? Maybe be we can be work out buddies when you wanna just want one of the girls 'round.....I'm up for anything!! Just let me know!!

Congrats on the Marriage!! May your union forever be blessed, gurlie!! ~Smooches~ Hope to chat with you again!!

Hello JMunks!! Thanks for the friend request!! how are you doing are you banded already? If so how do you feel?? If not, I know you are too excited like me, I'm getting banded on the 3/1/10!! Chat with you soon....Smooches!!

Thank you so much for the compliment, that's why I NEVER smoked, besides with my asthma I always felt smoking would just kill me faster!! Not to mention that I cancer of various forms run heavily in my family. Now the only thing I will admit to is hanging out with my girls/sisters/ other family members and us eating & drinking all the time.....lol!! We travel alot so you know when women get together there is always food & drinks involved.....lol

Thank you Diamond. I am too excited I been shopping stocking up on my stuff now. I am so ready. I will definately be at the next group for sure!!

Yes I have my date Monday, March 1st!!! I'm so excited!!! I see where you were talking with Diamond....You're getting married???? Congrats gurlies!! What is the big day?? Also your fiance' is a trainer?? really??? does he train others??

Hey Corinne!! Just passing thru to say hey & see how the group session went yesterday. My step-mom's funeral & stuff was a bit much for me yesterday I was drained emotionally, mentally & physically......BTW how you doing?

hey Diamond!! ust passing thru to say hey & see how the group session went yesterday. My step-mom's funeral & stuff was a bit much for me yesterday I was drained emotionally, mentally & physically......BTW how you doing?

:confused: So much on my mind!! I am just grateful that yesterday is over & today is a new day!! My Step-Mom?s funeral was an emotional mess for me!! However, it was such a blessing to hear so many beautiful things said about her. All the people that she touched her in short time here made me so blessed to know that she instilled so many great qualities in me one of them happened to be strength and belief in me!! Thru her strength, I know that I am so ready for this surgery!! I am ready for a better me!!:wub:

Thank you. I don't have a pre-op diet at all. I was just told that I needed to stop smoking (something I never did) stop drinking (no parties for me!! what a bummer!!) and 48hrs before surgery nothing but clear liquids. I see everyone was given a pre-op diet but I guess since mine is really a revision to my gastric bypass they feel that maybe I don't need a pre-op diet. All I have left to do is blood work & a chest x-ray.
