no idea - could be anything really. how about giving the nurse a call and ask?

hi Annie, welcome to LBT. the timing depends on many factors including insurance and if your ins company requires anything and how busy your surgeon is. best of luck to you.

best of luck to you.

ummm ... not much little about it ... im getting a baby belly. gaining and losing the same 3-4 pounds so not bad. i am SOOOO hungry lately (munching on apples right now). i have another OB appointment the 28th and we'll schedule my next ultrasound. im getting excited! morning sickness isnt that bad - pretty much gone away except when there is some sort of sudden movement or when DH and i are sitting on the couch and he's bouncing his leg ... grrrrrrr.

OMG, thats just insane. FOUR appetizers? it was just you two? i dont know what i'd do... maybe offer to take her out for appetizers (since she's going to have 4 anyway )

best of luck to you! keep us posted.

:confused2::confused2::confused2::confused2::confused2: WHAT? i'm sorry ... regurgitating, PB'ing, throwing up, yacking, whatever is not fine. you will be in danger of losing your band due to a slip. a banded patient should be properly restricted - not too tight, not too loose. you should be able to have 3 meals a day - maybe liquids for Breakfast because a lot of people are tight in the morning, but lunch and dinner should be lean Protein (1/2 - 2/3 chicken breast maybe), small portion of veggies, and MAYBE if you have room a teaspoon or so of carbs. your diet should not be all liquids, that is in no way, shape or form healthy or balanced and you will not learn healthy eating habits that way. if you are vomitting, please consider a slight unfill. sometimes even .1-.2 cc makes a huge difference. good luck!

hi bbtex - welcome to LBT. you may want to do a search in Hospitals & Doctor's section for that surgeon. i have not heard of him, but that doesnt mean anything. best of luck to you.

hi Becky. welcome to LBT. sorry about the Psych eval. you may want to give them a call about the appeal. each place has their own timeline. best of luck to you.

hi, Kim. welcome to LBT. best of luck to you.

hi, welcome to LBT. best of luck to you and keep us posted.

hi, welcome to LBT. it's one of the best decisions i've made - ever. i now live my life and enjoy it! my suggestion - read here, read the stories ... even the not so good ones. you want to be fully prepared. once banded, get properly restricted - not too tight, that's not healthy. best of luck to you.

hi, welcome to LBT

hi, welcome to LBT. good luck on your journey.

hi, welcome to LBT!

hi, i dont have any feedback, but there are many excellent experiences going to Mexico. best of luck to you and keep us posted.

hi, welcome to LBT. it all depends on whether you are using insurance, if they have requirements, etc... my approval was quick (less than 2-3 weeks) and i was in the OR 2-3 weeks after that. best of luck to you!

i feel your pain. my DD (4) didnt go to sleep until 1245 Tuesday night - errrr Wednesday morning. **sigh**

actually, my PS looked at me like i was nuts... and didnt take pics ... oh well. they removed a lot - you look great!!

nope, 4 weeks is about typical. some docs want you to wait 6, but the norm is 4. :cool2:

yes ... very much a joke.

welcome and best of luck to you.

sweet - do you think you are too tight? if so, what symptoms do you have of being too tight? good luck.

actually, drinking with meals can cause you to lose at a slower rate because it can push the food through your pouch at a faster rate. MM - what about exercise? are you exercising? are you logging your food?

great news from your doc! (i know you know this, but...) keep at the exercise, it'll get better.
