Keep posting how your days are going. I am getting banded on Dec 31st and a little scared but excited too.

Happy that you are doing so good..............

Wow, I see a big difference in you arms. I am so happy for you. You look great. -
Hi Rose, Yes it has been a long time since I have been on here. Been very busy getting all my test done before the 19th of October when I got to NC to see my kids. All test are done but the last one was suppose to be today and I got sick and could not get it done. Waiting for a call from the doctor to see if I can get it done before the 19th which is only one week away. It really sucks I got so sick with this cold but was afraid if they put me a sleep I would not wake up. They were going down my throat and doing the other end. If that test was done and everything was ok, I would have had a date in December. Now, I am frustated but I am still dieting to make the doctor happy and lost over 10lbs which the first ten pounds is easy to loose because I have been there before.......LOL Have a good day and thank you for thinking of me. Now I am going to look at your post just to see how you are doing. Our friend Bklynike is doing great. I love to read about her progress also.

Yeah, first fill. I am happy for you. I still going thru appointments but thinking positive and one day closer. Friday I have a nuclar stress test where they are going to put blue dye thru me. I am a wee bit nervous over this one but I will be thinking of you getting that first fill and loosing more weight. Been one week since I saw my doctor who told me to loose weight or he won't do the surgery and I am down 10lbs........always the first 10lbs goes easy. I guess he scared the weight off me. So this fill is gonna make you loose 10lbs. Think positive..... Judy

You are doing good just loosing those oz's. Just think, if you were not on this journey you would probably be gaining those oz's. Think positive. Your lucky you are banded, I am still waiting and my day will come. I am doing the dieting without any help from a band because the doctor told me to loose weight or he will not do the surgery so here I am starving and trying my hardest to loose weight for the doctor and of course for myself. I just want that little bit of help from the band. I am proud of you for loosing the oz's, keep up the good work. Judy

You are such a strong person. I use to work in law enforcement myself but was behind the desk telling everyone where to go and also was the records dept. Was in a small town and only had 12 officers. I loved my job except for the last year. Got a new boss and boy my weight went right up. I use to walk in the back door every morning saying to myself "Another day of Hell". Now that is a person who hated her job. My retirement date was the happiest day of my life and enjoying every minute of it but never lost that weight so here I am working on getting banded just like you. Looking forward to that green shirt picture and when I start loosing that weight, I think I will do the same thing if you don't mind. Loved you story................Judy

Wow, you are in the early stages. I started this journey on June 25th and still going thru appointments. I am excited but don't expect to be banded until December so don't get discourage. My doctor here in upstate NY is checking my body real good. Best physical I ever had. Just be positive that someday you will start to loose weight. A person told me that and it was the best advise that anyone gave me. Good luck.

I am doing good, just waiting for the next appointment. I have four to go to and the last one is October 11th. If that is the last one. Wow, my doctor is sure giving me a good physical. But so far everything is ok and I continue on. My plans are to get banded in December but they have not even given me a hint when it is going to happen. I am trying. I have given up pop completely and don't eat between meals. But my weight goes up 2 lbs and then down 2 lbs. I even joined the gym and ride the bike for 30 mins. I just need that help like all of you have. I get so tired of feeling hungry. I yelled at my poor husband the other day cause I was so hungry and I felt bad but did not care and just walked away. Thank the Lord he loves me....LOL. I will let you know after next week is over and how I made out with all of my appointments. Again, Love the picture.

Yeah for you my friend. And yes loosing slowly is the best. I just want to loose something. Still have appointments to go to but each day is one day closer to getting my band. I read your blog and you are so inspiring for me. I need help to tell me I am full. I have stopped eating between meals but still eat what I want at meal time and have gave up soda completely. I really am enjoying the diet cranberry juice and finding myself drinking much more water. I can't wait to see the pictures. Wow, 223. I have not been that low in about 10 years. You must feel wonderful. I will be watching for the photos. Judy

120lbs by being banded. My social worker said I would not loose anymore than 70lbs if that. I am going to show her wrong. You did it and I am going to do it. Someone on her told me to think positive and yep, I am positive and you are the first I hear that your insurance will pay for your plastic surgery which is wonderful for you. You take care now and you are going to come out beautiful. Judy

All of you make it sound so easy. I can't wait until I get my band. I try and diet but I get so hungry. I have stopped eating between meals but boy at meal time I eat and enjoy my food. 3 appointments next week and the throat one on October 11 and I hope that is it. I love reading all fo these blogs cause I am finding out what to expect. Thank you everyone.

Good luck to ya and if you loose only 1 lb it is more than I am loosing. I am still doing my appointments and have no idea when I become a banster but working on it. I am down to just eating 3 meals a day without grazing and have lost 2 lbs since June and feel good about it so don't get down on yourself if it comes off slowly. I was told to think positive by a wonderful person on here and that is what I have been doing. I was also told that I will never get to my goal weight by the social worker at the doctors office with the band and should do the gastric bypass but I will show her and when I am at my goal weight I will go in her office and remind her what she said to me and for her to never tell anyone that again. Now, that is thinking positive. And I told 3 people and I wish I would have kept my mouth shut and not told anyone but my children. So go to work with your head held high and everyday is a new day and could be a pound down or not but you always have the next day for that pound down. Judy

Congrats on your lost. Measuring yourself was so smart and like Bklynike, I am going to do that also. As for my husband to help me, I guess I can't do it right away cause he is still in bed............LOL But it will get done this morning. Thanks for the great idea.
-
Today is your day. Good luck to you. I have many more appointments before I get banded and I am jealous you are getting yours today but also happy for ya. I will be looking forward to hear how you make out, which will be good. Judy

Wow, I thought I would be drinking a protein shake the rest of my life after being banded. That was good information. Next appointment with doctor is not until Sept 20th but I am still writing everything down and I am finding I have lost another pound. And I am eating only 3 times a day with nothing in between but I eat until I am full which I could probably eat less and I will soon, at least before I go to the doctors. Thanks for the info on the shakes. Tomorrow is Monday...............

Three Month Bandaversary and Ashley!!!

60 lbs. I just can't imagine loosing 60 lbs. and your daughter coming to see you, that is great. My daughter lives out of town also and have not seen her since December myself. I just want to get banded but I have more appointments to deal with so I am thinking positive and keep posting for all of us to read. -
You are so lucky. 7 months is a long time to wait and want something. I started in June so I am on my way to the third month. I have a long way to go but will be like you and not give up and think positive.

Fun vacation for ya. I can't wait until I can feel comfortable on the ground without getting a crane to lift me back up. Right now I avoid getting that close to the ground. Next week my physical exam and I went to my first support meeting which I received lots of information even though I was the only one doing the lapband. All the others were getting the bypass. Anyhow, one day closer. Welcome back home. Judy
