Soontobebanded

Hi All, I haven't been here in a bit...I was just banded and am two weeks in. I have lost a total of 14 lbs since starting my journey and10 lbs since being banded. I am very excited and go back to work on Monday and am a bit nervous. I am also nervous about doing the food shopping and being careful not to lift heavy things...not something I am used to thinking about. I am also a bit nervous about beginning mushy food on Monday. Just wanted to jump on and say hi and give a backround a bit. Oh I started at 258 lbs and am down to 244 WOO HOO

Hi Hal, I absolutely 100% agree with you..>I do not think the female is as motivated...I am looking forward to good results...This is a tool I need to help. That and some exercise I am hoping with really help. Hi Sourmissg...I am so sorry to hear that you are still waiting for insurance...I will be waiting also...My dr gave me a hard time with the notes...He said it was alot of work LOL...I told him it needed to be done and I would do it if he couldn't get it done...He had it done and submitted it. GRRR

Hi everyone, I have been on my journey towards having the lapband surgery since last year. My insurance required 6 months of dr notes...Well I forgot to go once or twice so I started again in January. I was thrilled thinking that by the time I was on vacation from work ( I am a TA) I would be able to have my surgery. Well between scheduling problems and a visit to the gastro that found Hpylori bacteria and an ulcer my surgery has been put off for six weeks. I did a stint of Prevpac and now on nexium. I go for my second enoscopy next wed and then we will see. Hopefully I will be able to schedule the surgery soon after. I am both excited and nervous at the same time....Have two family members who have had the surgery. One did fantastic and was male and one not so much and is a female. I am praying that with guidance from others as well as the nutritionist I will do well. Glad to meet you all. A:thumbup:
