  1. Congratulations.im waiting on approval.I cancelled the RNY thing.I feel more comfy on the lapband.
  2. Im not banded as of yet.I had a RNY set up.I cancelled.I did alot of research reading.
  3. You can try dr.wade barker.really??I have aetna also.I thought fills were priced like 175 or plus dollars
  4. You can sprinkle protein in your soups.like the stuff you make protein shakes with.try vanilla.there might be some neutral tasting protein at GNC.just something to think about.makes your soups thicker
  5. If the numbers are true at the gbo or gao.we the people as a whole cannot support free healthcare for everyone.there is only so much of the money to go around.way too massive of a program.if I wish everyone could have free healthcare?yes id go for it.no matter what party you support.we have to be realistic.come down to earth.we dont need anymore programs.its like the saftey belt law.yes and no it can save lives.but by the nature of us being humans.eventually someone is going to die.
  6. So you can actually drink a diet carbonated drink??I read in an post that someone tried diet coke or whatever the diet drink was.and it didn't make them feel well.
  7. Im also happy to hear you're okay.I meant to say that in my text.I heard that once you're banded.you cant have carbonated beverages for how long?not that im addicted to cokes,pepsi etc..just wanted info
  8. Wow...guess you mightve been allergic to the materials in the band.or the placement of the band wasn't correct.im not banded but I've read alot of posts.more slippage related to vomiting and nausea.I believe the band can make you sick if it slips or its not positioned right.
  9. You're doing what you feel is good for you.if you dont look after your own health.who will?right?...knock yourself out.keep looking to each day.keep looking forward.I cant believe I cancelled my RNY surgury.no outside pressure.just thought I know me better than a doctor.so I opted for you're wanting to get.good luck on your journey.im waiting for approval.
  10. Life sux sometimes.we all go through hard times.im sorry about your grandma.be strong.pick yourself up off the ground.try to be postive.surround yourself with positivity.smile.laugh.have fun.dont take all things too seriously.move on.learn from your downfalls.we are not perfect.accept it.have faith.grab the bull by the horns.dont let it control you.you control your own world.we all love you.on this website and across this big world.dont close yourself out.be a part of.live love and laugh.be an inspiration to someone.be yourself.dont worry about others and what you think they think of you.you're number1.you love you.
  11. I had very good results from EAS myoplex protein drink in the bottle.was shrinking my liver for RNY.but I reconsidered for the lapband.the myoplex was good for getting your nutrition plus protein curbed my hungriness
  12. well,dont feel bad.you did what you felt like doing.I had the RNY scheduled but after more thought and research.I felt that it was too radical for all I wanted.now im waiting on approval for the lapband.im a big guy.this I know.I felt since im in no big hurry to reduce my fat percentages.plus my vitals are fine.I can walk and exercise.I feel good and im happy.I figured the lapband would be a useful tool for me.I can lose the fat slowly.learn to eat properly.plus eat healthier.my regular medical doctor said that I eat good but I eat too much of it.discipline.plus my resting metabolic rate is 2500 calories a day.which I feel is good.I dont have sleep apnea.my ekg,and electrocardiogram turned out fine.I passed the stress test.
