WENDY ANN

Ah..... Michelle, I have read all the encouraging notes from everyone here. I hope you the best today. Enjoy your week-end with your band. I am very jealous!!! I have not been banded yet. I am just starting out. Looks like we have the same amout to lose! It will def be a journey. Good Luck! (Oh, I visited San Antonio this past spring! I LOVED it. We will go back soon, I want to see the country parts. I only got to visit the River Walk. It was beautiful!) Keep in touch! Wendy Ann:thumbup:

Hello Brian, I am also like the other Wendy. I have not been banded yet. I have learned from the forums on LBT that the Lapband is a tool, it will help you lose weight if you are willing to try. Yeah, that would be my first step, see a doctor. One that knows! If you didn't like your first doctor, go see a new one. Sometimes there is a fee. If you find one search thru this forum and look at the other people that have used him. Check out their weight loss, send them a personal message. I feel everyone out there on this forum is very helpful. I myself am worried about the alcohol. I drink beer. But looks like that might not be in my future. Maybe I will be able to have a shot and water ocassionally. May you find happiness with you band and help keep me posted. WendyAnn

Thank you for your encouraging words. I'm having a blast on the LBT and I quit using Facebook so much! This is more interesting but I do like to keep up with my classmates. I have been eating a lot more lately thinking I will never eat this again, does everyone do this? I hope I don't make myself sick. Wednesday is my seminar. I can hardly wait this out! Thanks for including me I need all the help I can get. Wendy

LOL!!! It sure is. Imagine it being 2.5 pounds of chocolate! Now that sounds yummy! Sorry to hear about your bad day at work. I hope you next BM will be better! My friends husband once farted and lost a pound. LOL!!! Keep the weight loss going no matter how you can get it right? Wendy Ann:thumbup:

Count me in!!!! I'm so excited about this!! I am ready.... I go to the seminar next Wednesday the 18th. I get the Dr. note on Sept. 1st. I want to hear about everyone and get all the information I can. My family is very supportive too. I have two grown sons and my daughter lives with us and her two year old. I have 4 bio grandchildren 1 from previous. So, I'm a little worried about the holidays. I told my husband they will be taking home all the leftovers. LOL! Peace!

Good luck Kimj. I want to be banded so bad!!!! I just started on this site to get all the info. I have the seminar to go to next wednesday, then to see the heart doctor for his approval. Ahhhh, I can't wait. It sounds like you are really going to make this happen. I wish you the best!!!

High-Five Hollywood96. I was thinking the same thing! This band is a tool!!!! It helps you, You need to see your doctor. You got your advice here and it was all great advice. You have to want this for yourself! You and only you can make this work! Good luck sweety!! I have not been banded myself but am doing all the homework that I can and sometimes it might make me late for work, Hahaha!

I am so excited for you. Like me I go for my seminar on the 18th. I hope they can do this a lot sooner than Oct. Keep up the good work, sounds like your family is a good support group for you!

Lauren, I would think it's time to call your dr. Sounds like someting isn't right. I just got on this program tonight and it seems people have problems too, so your not the only one. Call your doc in the morning and good luck!

I am so glad you brought this up. I have not been banded yet. It's in the works in the early stages. This is something I was going to ask at the seminar. Please let me know. I believe it maybe from the anesthia or not enough protein. I am afaid I will get too weak in the begining. <3
