hi, welcome to LBT. its natural to be nervous, just research the procedure and your doctor. know that this is right FOR YOU. for me, it was one of the best things ive ever done for myself. Good luck

hi, welcome to LBT. congrats on a surgery date and best of luck to you!

hi, welcome to LBT and congrats on being banded. the first couple weeks your stomach was probably still quite swollen from the 'trauma' it experienced during surgery and that swelling is now going down so it will take more to feel satisfied. as to whether you should fill under fluoro or not, that's a personal decision... i've done both and really dont prefer one over the other... just know that it will more than likely take 2-3 (or more) fills for you to feel your proper restriction. best of luck to you!

OMG ... i so didnt read vulgar ... (think woman's anatomy)... it's too early i spoze...

you are SOOOOO not the only one Susan.... even being a stay at home mom, its always nice to have the weekend come! (no school work, DH home, etc...)

I initially went by the 1st date of last period, but it was changed at my initial appointment based on ultrasound... (I was moved back 1 week 4 days). right now, I'd suggest go by LMP, but be prepared for it to change. I am so happy for you!!

WOOO HOO!!!!!! great job

trauma.. ? i heard it was a cake walk ...

i was with United as well - first thing in the AM - and was discharged a couple hours after surgery... i'm an October bandster as well ... 2006.

i already have a parasite of sorts in my body causing me to lose weight (another 2 pounds down - my OB really is gunna be ticked!) i dont need another one... **shudder**

my PS was very strict ... he didnt even want me on a treadmill for 1+ month. i begged him after 3 weeks... he only agreed after i promised to go with someone and take it very very slowly.... i think i did 1.25-1.5 MPH... and still swelled like no other! take it easy...

not KD, but i was swollen for several weeks after my tuck.... especially when working out... oh dear!!!

yeah, i'm nice sometimes....

oh yeah, i would SOOOOO eat that fried candy bar ... well, if it was something i'd normally eat non-fried.... and probably a bite or two... the whole bar would just be... i dunno, too much.

Compression Wear & Bodyshaping Clothing - Male & Female Girdles & Vests i absolutely LOVED my compression garments ... they will custom make one for you at no extra charge. they are kinda pricey though (60ish maybe??)

who on earth thought this was a good idea????

i do, but i never even get on myspace... i do like facebook (obviously)

congrats on the 4 pounds!

huge congrats Heather!

ahhhh.. Chicago... i was supposed to go to Chicago in a few weeks for the marathon ... baby had other ideas though... good luck with the seminar! :cursing:

very true.... :cursing::cool2: licking the top was good, but the cake part was really good too... and yes, i had one for Breakfast ... ok - half of one... restriction's a bitch in the morning...

ummm... nevermind, the paint fumes would kill my sinuses.. oh well ... :cursing: and the scary thing is ... i'm not from TX, but i'm becoming one of them... i have an MD appt today and will have to 'bundle up' to go this morning... (originally from midwest, so 60s - even 50s are nice...

luluc - im not functioning enough to go outside yet (up from 1-330am last night/this morning).... wanna watch an almost 5 year old today... :cursing:

i wish! it's going to be almost 90 here today. i need cooler weather please. who do i need to speak with to order some??

you look mahhhhhvelous!!!
