Hi there - saw your post - I had surgery in March with Dr. Schmidt in the same office. It is the best decision I ever made. I love Nadia the nurse practioner who does my fills and am very happy with the office in general. I go to the monthly support group at Hackensack associated with the group too. Let me know if you have any questions or need any support! Good Luck!!!

Hi Cynthia,

I'm glad your experience was good. I have a lot of questions that came up just reading the site. Can we speak offline? My email is corkee26 at yahoo.

Hi Corkee,

I'm also getting my Lapband with Dr. Ewing at 11/19/10 as well. Small world!! What time is your surgery? I'm a little bit nervous about getting the surgery done. Are you in any pre diet that I'm reading about in this site?

Hi Cynthia,

Is nice to hear from someone who has gone thru it and has only nice things to say about them. Would you know if you need to pay for the support group in Hackensack?

Thanks guys, I hope to hear from you both.

Try this.

Click on my ticker and it will take you to the page.

the go to create my own ticker.

The top section that has all those codes - copy it.

go to lapband home page and then click on user CP on the bottom left of the top blue section on the page.

Go down to edit signature

Paste onto the signature box.

let me know if it works or you need more help.

Took me forever to figure it out.

I got as far as developing a ticker, but can't for the life of me figure out which box to paste it too in the signature page. Is that the big box or one of the two small boxes in the bottom?

I put it in the signature box and it doesn't work. Now what?! lol Also, once you have it, what do you do to make it change the weight as you lose it?

Thanks again,

Randee

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
