Texarkana Bandsters



Recommended Posts

You might need to say big okie,,, and maybe next year we can refer to me as little okie...lol. I live in the very southeast corner of Okla. So yes, that's kinda close to Texarkana. It's about a hour away. I work in DeQueen, AR and it only takes me about 18 min to get to work. I'm excided for you. You have waited so long. I noticed you have been trying to get this approved since April. Only if you have time, would you tell me why it took so long for your insurance to approve? I haven't even started the approval yet so I'm afraid it will be a while for me, but the insurance company told me after I send in all of my test result (having them all done on Jan 8th) I should have an answer within two weeks. Is this wishful thinking on my part?

I know you can do the liquid diet. I did, if can anyone can. Just think about how much healthier you will be.

I live in the contry, but close to Mt. Pleasant. MP is about 60 miles from Texarkana.

later,

lisa

I know I'm gonna try my best, but I know it will be hard. A friend of mine just had her surgery done @ Dallas and he had her do an Atkins diet 10 days before and she lost the 10 lbs required. I was hoping I could do that and then the liquid diet after. But then again I guess doing the liquid diet after would be easier if you done got use't to it. I'm sure I will survive.... Hope you r still feeling okay....

;) I don't have a surgery date yet. I have all of my testing on Jan 8th and will go from there on the surgery date. I have to be approved by the insurance company. I hope it wont be long afterwards. I meet all of the criteria just have to clear everything else. Have you heard from Lisa G today? I don't see where she has been on here. I hope she is still doing good. Your husband is planning to have the lapband done. right? My husband could use it and I hope if I do well he will consider it too. You and I have about the same start weight. I'm sure I gained some over Christmas. If I don't watch it I will gain 5 lbs or more a week.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
