    abdonimal binders after surgery

    Does the surgeon suggest it or did you find out about it and ask for it? My surgeon hasn't mentioned that as yet....I don't have my surgery until July 15th. It sounds like a great idea though! Thank you for the post! :w00t:
  2. Hard to read your page!

    Glad you liked my Elvira picture!

  3. I have my surgery on July 15th....seems so long to wait but I am still excited! How about you? Where are you in the process?

    What's Your Fill Level?

    I didn't realize bands would have different total limits that it can be filled; Did your surgeon ask you what size band fill you wanted? I was under the impression that there was only one size band....:thumbup:
  5. I am curious to see what fill level is best for you to lose weight and not feel hungry? Are you there yet or do you have to continue to go for adjustments? How many adjustments have you had since your first? :thumbup:
  6. Glad you liked my Halloween costume! Two birds of a feather we are and my feather color is BLACK!

     

    Can't wait to create my next costume! Has to be scary...only cute thing I would do is a Black Cat but other then that it's all dead and scary or Funny as heck don't need to do sexy...I am always sexy all year long!

     

    How about you?

    Me in my Halloween costume at work playing dead....LOL

    LOL, I was the only one that dressed up and yet they all took pictures of me and said they wished they had the guts to do it! Life is too short to worry about image! I am having fun and if that makes me a nut then POWER to the NUTS!
  8. Thank you for making me your friend! Looking forward to getting to know you and getting to goal with you!

    Hugs, Lisa

  9. Yes, I have one of those already...found him on SparkPeople

  10. July 15th is my surgery date...waiting for the doctor to give me the pre op diet.

  11. No, my surgery is July 15th...can't wait to get it done so I can start knowing how it is going to be with it!

     

    I have figured out a lot on here now....if you need help there is a place that gives info....Can direct you if you haven't already found it.

  12. How are you doing today?

    Band slipped, but it's OK!

    I haven't had my surgery yet...it is on July 15th.; so glad you did post this because I want to know about the bad as well as good things that have happened! Not goingo to stop now that I am so close and I really need this tool even if that did happen to me at least it will give me the chance at learning good habits and getting rid of my bad habits which I wasn't able to do because I am always hungry or think I am.... Sorry about your situation though...please let me know how thing are going with you! Thanks, Lisa

    Approved!!!

    sore back yes got that...of course I thought it was because I had big tatas LOL July 15th can't come soon enough! I want this so bad but I still have to do what the surgeon said....get into a regular routine of exercise no matter what the might be.....walking, dancing, swimming, biking, weights, going to the gym....taking aerobic classes...anything that makes me sweat is exercise and burns calories! WE can and will do what we have to do to make it work....no sense in going through the surgery if I thought it wouldn't work for me. All I need is hunger control...the rest I can deal with! Wishing you all the best of luck! Hugs, Lisa

    backing out

    I thought the same thing but after so many years of trying to find something that worked for my life and not succeeding I decided it was time to try a tool that would stop me from feeling hungry....my thought is IF I know my stomach is small then what I am feeling isn't hunger it's either that I need Water which is the same feeling as being hungry or my mind is messing with me....I call my mind messing with me or food craving the food devil....With this tool (lap band) I am hoping to recreate a new mindset that will help me succeed this time to goal and beyond! Most I ever lost on any diet was 20 lbs and then I would gain it all back...tired of it but I hope you do succeed and change your lifestyle! Anyone that can do it without the tool and surgery is all the better for it! Good luck and God bless!
  18. Hope to have you as a friend on this journey to a healthier lifestyle!

  21. I am looking foreward to making the change to a healthier lifestyle permanent so I can get to goal and stay there for the rest of my life....Being healthy is what matters and having the energy to enjoy life to the fullest. PLUS I turn 50 next year and I want to look awesome when I do! Can't blame a women for wanting to be in the best shape for that number! LOL
