  1. Half way there...had my bloodwork done and EKG. Now just have to do my UGI and chest xrays next week. This process is taking forever. If I'm lucky I'll be banded by the end of February!!

  2. Good luck today!! Wishing you a speedy recovery!! :o)

  3. Have a fill appt today at 430! Hope it helps! I've been stalled now for three weeks...booooo

  4. Congrats on the weight loss! That's amazing!! Two more classes left...feels like its taking forever lol

  5. had my pre-op final appt today with the surgeon and the nutritionist. I can't believe my surgery is two weeks away! Picked up all my shakes, soups and bars for my pre-op diet which starts on Wednesday. So close now!! :o)

  6. Slow week weight loss wise...my fault though...too many temptations. A girl only has so much will power! Overall though I'm down 26 pounds so I can't complain. First fill tomorrow morning!! Scary!!

  7. Surgery is officially one week away! Yippy! :o)

  8. Switched gym memberships last night from Gold's Gym to Lifetime Fitness. I'm so excited because they have two trainers who have gone through bariatric surgery!! Hoping to kick things off right! :o)

  9. Had my post-op appt this morning and graduated to mushies and was cleared to workout. Yay! Also was happy to see I'm down 18 pounds :o)

  10. Yay! So happy to hear its working out great for you too!! The 220's are calling our name! ;o)

  11. Three weeks today! Down 22 pounds, back in the gym and being a good girl with my eating. Its so hard but I look forward to seeing the drop on the scale so I know it's worth it :o)

  12. Hey there! I also live in VA and I'm going to have my surgery done through Bluepoint in Fairfax! Good luck with everything!! :)

  13. Had my first fill and all I can say is ouch! Not terribly painful but wow it took them about 10 minutes to find the port and that was not a comfortable experience! But 3cc's in and I go back in 6 weeks! Hoping this curbs my hunger!!

  14. Hey there! I saw you live in VA so I thought I'd 'Friend' you! :) Good luck on the Opti-Fast! I am only half way through my 6 month med supervised diet. Still have a ways to go before I'm where your at!!

  15. Wow 2nd fill was so much better than the first! She found the port on the first try and I now have 4.8cc in 10cc band. Weight loss here I come lol :o)

  16. Mine will eventually be with Dr.Halmi too!! I'm unfortunately only 3 months into the 6 month med supervised diet. It feels like its taking FOREVER!!! I can't wait to hear how your surgery goes!! :)

  17. I don't know what got into me this weekend but I seem to have eaten everything in site. I guess I just had a realization that I start my pre-op diet in a week so I just went a little crazy. Oh well, starting fresh tomorrow and trying not to be mad at myself.

  18. Day 5 Post-op and back to work. I'm really surprised how fast this recovery was. Still a bit sore where my biggest incision is but overall feeling good!

  19. so annoyed...just got a call from my surgeons office and I need to do an additional one hour consult with the nutritionist which they don't have any open appts for until 2 weeks from now!! They also need a medical clearance from my PCP...my PCP is being a pain about it and won't write the letter until I do all my preop testing. This is such a frustrating process. Grrrrr

  20. this whole process is going to give me a freakin heart attack!! Finally got the clearance letter from my PCP with one problem...they didn't write in it that IM CLEARED!!! WTF!? So now they have to redo it. Thank God I have a massage tonight...I need it!!

  21. Gotta love hitting the gym hard all week to see a zero loss on the scale. More protein, more water, more movement are the plan this week.

  22. Hi Sandy! Good luck with your surgery!! When do you have to start your pre-op diet?

  23. Hey there! Congrats on being banded!! I'm three weeks out and so far so good. Can't wait for a fill though...not sure how long this will power thing will last!! How are you doing?

  24. Third fill appt on Friday and would like to be down two more pounds by then...can we say GYM TIME! ;o)

  25. One month banded today! It hasn't been easy but it's the best decision I've ever made! Down 24 pounds and counting :o)
