Yep you can see my port bump. I'm so proud of it, cause that means I have lost weight. If it bothers you that bad, as your doctor about moving your port. Although it is another surgery.

Good luck!!! Welcome to the beginning of your journey!!!

I weigh everyday. I'm the type that if I don't, I will constantly be thinking that I am gaining tons of weight. I also do this in the morning after my shower and naked.

I will also post for yesterday and I was 164 lbs.

I use Syntrax Nectar Protein and it is awesome. I have the Vanilla Bean Torte and the Chocolate Truffle is really good also. I get mine from The Vitamin Shoppe and they also sell it on ebay and amazon.

I was banded July 27th, 2011 and I couldn't sleep the night before my surgery cause I was so nervous. Lapband surgery has changed my life. I can actually play with my kids and they get wore out before me I also have the band with the implication, and I have had no problems. You will do AMAZING and congrats on starting your "NEW" life!!!! I will be praying for you tomorrow!!! Good luck!!!!!

Congrats!!! Welcome to the start of your "NEW" life.

I just bought sample packs of Syntrax Nectar and the Vanilla Bean Torte and the chocolate truffle are AMAZING!! You can order off Amazon.com or ebay. I am very picky when it comes to protein drink stuff and this stuff I would recommend to everyone!!

I shrugged my shoulders when I was not walking. You will still start feeling better soon.

Seen my fiances friend and I said Hi to him and he looked @ me and said, "do I know you?" I told him who I was and he did not recognize me because of my weight loss.

Went and had my ring resized and I went from a 8 1/2 to a 7 1/2. Also I went to American Eagle and I got into a size 12. I can walk into a store now and not be in the largest size with a muffin top!

I have never tried them, but I watch a girl on Youtube and she says that they really work. I have had a couple cases where I have had the chest pains, and I always say that I will get them, however I never do. I will be purchasing them tomorrow and I will let you know!

Went to Golden Corral yesterday here in Dayton, Ohio and I asked if they gave a discount or anything for weight-loss surgery patients and they charged me as a senior, however this took 50 cents off. She said they use to charge it as a kids meal but people were taking advantage of the discount. This was the 1st time dining @ a buffet since my surgery, however it was very expensive for only eating small portions. I know that Olive Garden I had to show my card when I went there.

M doctor added 4cc's to my band the time of surgery.

I was banded on July 27th and I have lost 23 lbs so far and 16lbs was on my pre-op diet. Congrats for the weightloss on all the other July 2011 banders!!!!

Good luck with your surgery! I am being banded also today @ 8:30am.

Welcome to the forum, we will give you all the support that you need. Heather

Hello all! I went to my Dr. on Tuesday and filled out the rest of my paperwork and got my pre- op picture taken and as I was leaving, she said see you Monday morning for the start to your new life. Oh my gosh, I have been nervous ever since. I have waited over 1 yr for this and now I am so nervous that it is difficult for me to sleep. I know that the surgery will go fine, however I am afraid of failing yet another time. Anyone else have jitters that are getting banded soon?

I recieved my date yesterday and I will be banded July 11th! I start my low fat diet 2 weeks before surgery and I am ready for a change.

I start my pre-op diet tomorrow, surgery is July 6th, and I will be on a low fat diet. Started my pre-op diet alittle over the weekend and lost 5 lbs so far. Good luck everyone with your surgery and dieting. It can be frustrating.

Just got the phone call 1 hr ago that I was approved. They will call me Monday to set up times for my testing. Why am I so nervous now that I am approved?? Has anyone else felt this way?
