Thanks! Im going to be thinking of you too! I wish my husband was more supportive. He's so removed from the process he doesn't even know where I'm going. He just asked me to give him the name of the place and address so he knows where he has to pick me up. He hasn't wanted to hear anything about it. Don't know why it's bothering me now. Anyway, Teresa we are doing this for us! We will be just fine. Lets keep in touch please! We are soon to be banded sisters.

I think our husbands must b twins... at least mine is going with me , only because there is a hunting store nearby .. I totally understand why it bothers u ...

My hubby keeps telling me " you're just going to leave me when u loose all that weight anyway".

It is so much on my mind... how sad , but true ...

I am still not familiar with this forum so if u want to email me .... teresa4u@sbcglobal.net ...... I think we might could communicate better..

What do u think ??

Hi everyone! How did it go today? I was only at the hospital for 3 1/2 total hours. I feel good. Just a little gas and incision pain but definitely manageable. I have been walking and have taken some pain meds. Sooooo excited about the start of this journey! I hope everyone is feeling good and I can't wait to hear. Xoxoxo Rina

How are all the March 18th bandsters doing? I am down 30 pounds since my initial consult but only 10 of that has been post band. I had a post surgery complication and ended up in the hospital but I'm fine now thank God. I had my first fill today. Looking forward to getting back to losing.

I was banded March 18 too!! In Ft Worth..or rather at a Medical Center in Roanoke, TX. My Docter is in Ft. Worth. I am down 35 pounds since my first consult in February. 15 since surgery. I am loving this not hungry feeling. Although about once a week I feel like I want to eat EVERYTHING!!! haha. I go for my first fill appt April 29th...and I'm not sure yet if I want a fill. I am pretty restricted at the moment. OH, I had the IBand...lap band with plication. So maybe that has something to do with it also.

That's great! The plication may make a big difference. Good to hear you are doing well.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
