Awesome!! Good Luck tomorrow. Keep me posted! :thumbup:

Actually I have Doctor Mardsen but I was going to see about switching to Doctor Fox. How do you like him? When did you finally meet your doc? I have only gone in for one apt and I didn't meet the Doctor yet.

I'm getting banded @ True Results in Richardson, TX in 5 months. My first visit was a piece of cake...nothing bad at all. It went pretty quick too. Best of luck!

McKinney here....Being banded in Sept/Oct 2010! Waiting on the ins! Being banded @ True Results in Richardson!

I agree!!! Any weight loss is a GREAT weight loss!! You should feel so good about it!! Don't look as it as "only" look at is omg I lost weight!! Be happy with it....You will stay more confident on focused!! :biggrin:

YAY me!!! One week down!! I already feel much better!! Thanks for the support! There are still a few moments when I want to pick a smoke up but I'm NOT!! :biggrin: Thanks again

Thanks guys for all the advice!!! I already have it stuck in my head that I know I will not get a good nights rest so I have planned on taking the following day off. I am going to go ahead and get it out of the way in the next few weeks.. ughhhh...wish me luck lol

Good luck girl! Keep me posted. So far I have gone a WEEK without smoking!! I'm doing pretty good. There are a few times a day when I still reallllly want one but it I give it a few minutes that feeling passes! I have already noticed a changed in my sleeping and breathing in just 1 week!:thumbup:

I have to do a sleep apnea test as a part of my requirements...I am SUPER nervous. I sleep GREAT every night. All that I have been reading on here is how everyone was told they have sleep apnea...I find it kinda of weird that SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO many people that are required to have it done end up getting results saying they have sleep apnea. I haven't read very many people post that they DID NOT have sleep apnea. I'm freaked out about this test and soooooooo not looking forward to it AT ALL! Actually I am a little pissed about doing it.

Thanks for that info!! I see you and I are set to get banded in October!! Yay us!! Good luck with everything.

Thanks guys!! Day three today and so far so good. I keep telling myself I can so get threw this and I know if I can get threw it I can def get threw LapBand!!

Froggie D CONGRATS!! April 7 is just a few days away!! Wish you all the best!!

Jenny WOW!!! Way to go on your weight loss! That is awesome!!!

I will be getting banded about October 2010...I am doing the 6 month insurance wait. ughhh I hate waiting that long but at least I will be able to get banded!! I am so excited and doing a lot to start preparing for it...

A few weeks ago my hubby stopped smoking cold turkey bc he pretty much had too. So I was thinking to myself huh if he can do it so can I!! I figured if I could go ahead and stop smoking now once I get banded I can workout without being so out of breath etc!! So last weekend I tried to do it cold turkey!! I went 12 hours without of but then bam I was at the store buying a pack. I told hubby after that pack that was it!!! So here I am a week later and done with that pack I bought last weekend...I am happy to say I am on day TWO without smoking!!! I still kinda want one but I have been telling myself NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!! Just had to share!!! BABY STEPS!! :bored:

I have to admit...I had NO clue that a Magic Bullet was when I saw this post. So I looked it up online and I was like OMG I want one of those but @ 99 bucks I was like huh no way....BUT then I had a thought...........craiglst.com!! I went on there and found a lady that was selling a BRAND NEW ONE. She was asking 45 for it but ended up coming down to 35 BUCKS! I went to pick it up last weekend!!!! I was so happy. The thing had NEVER even been opened. I'm getting everything ready...I have 6 months to go before surgery!! Thanks for posting this great info.

thanks...i love black Beans so i think i will give that a try!!

Sounds good minus the kidney Beans. I will have to see about another type of bean to use! Thanks so much for sharing. I have a 6 month wait till banding bc of ins but I'm sure going to save this recipe! :Banane20:
