Just let me know when you are coming and we can get together. I look forward to meeting you. You're being banded Monday, any nervousness yet? It really is a pretty simple surgery. I was down for about 3 days but after that things improved quickly.

I live in the Lake Conroe area and would love to have a support group. I went to a seminar with Dr. Collier yesterday and was impressed. I am self pay, who did your surgery?

Dr. Collier did my surgery also. He is great!! I am also self-pay and I think his program has great aftercare. Have you scheduled your consult yet? I was not prepared for this to go so quickly. I went in for my consult and 10 days later I was having surgery. So it can go pretty fast. If you have any questions I will try to help. I have another band buddy in huntsville who is wanting to get together so we'll have to set a date soon. Weekends are better for me, how about you?

I had posted a message on the forum and it's right under this one, how funny. Sarah replied to that one also. Let's set a date and get started! How about next Saturday? Maybe we can get Karen, Dr. Collier's NUT. to attend, I'll call her after we set the date. :thumbup:

I will be there around 9am maybe a little earlier since I dont want to go home beforehand. I am looking forward to meeting ya'll. I just verified that my insurance does not have coverage and I went to the cardiologist Wednesday and got my release for surgery and his opinion. He said that Dr. Collier was a very meticulous and good surgeon so that made my day. My DH said to call tomorrow and set up my appt. :redface: I am a little nervous to take this step but excited to boot.

      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!!
