Joyful Day

Thank you so much I am so psyched!!!!

I was on Effexor XR and I gained a hell of a lot of weight. It totally stunk. I am off now and the anxiety thing os going OK, but I am still gaining weight:) I agree that they do help you to gain the problem is that sometimes you really NEED to take them. AHHHH- I am glad I am in good company:)

I guess it would depend on your psycologist. I have anxiety and I spoke to my psy about this and she seemed willing to help. She feels that this surgery may help with it. She seperated the weight loss from the anxiety being that she was looking at the benifits for WLS to my physical health and then she was interestd in the mental health. She did clear me for the surgery. I would be honest with the psy being that you do not want to do anything that will harm your mental being because of the surgery. I am sure you wont have a problem...JUST BE HONEST. And good luck:)

Hi Guys...I am so excited today I met with my surgeon and got my psycologist and nutritionist out of the way. YEAH!!!!!! My surgeon seems to think that I am going to have my surgery in JAN. I am so happy I am getting this under way. Wish me luck!!!!!

Congrats....I am in the field too. At my salon I do nails and Make-up!!! It is lots of fun...good luck to you

I am a nail technician and jewerly designer.

Thanks, I'll check it out.

Congrats. You should be so proud of yourself. I often wonder if 100# is possible, but after reading some of the posts here...it is quite possible.

I am so happy for you. Only a few more days...Congratulations!!!!

I was wondering is anyone here has experienced hair loss after lap-band surgery? I know it is a side effect of the Rny but I didn't know if it was for lap band?

Congrats. You are going to do great. I am so happy for you!!!!

Thanks for your reply LapBandit. I really dont have that much to loose in the grand scheme of things. I am 230 now and I want to be maybe 140. So RNY seemed so permanent. I am so happy with my decission now and I am totally at pease with it:)

My sister had RNY in Aug. and she has lost 65 lbs but she is having a lot of problems due to the rerouting thing. She can't eat anything without getting sick. So I am NOT doing that. I am using Dr. Geiss at North Shore Syosett on LI. I just want the date to come already and I don't even have a date yet:). Well I am really glad to meet you guys, and I am sure I will be hearing your success stories soon enough:)

Same Here:)

Welcome!!!!!!!
