Sorry for the delayed response. I'm new to the boards and a couple days after I posted, my computer went down during a storm.

hi, welcome.

Thank you for the warm welcome.

Hi there. What area are you from? I'm originally from the Fremont/Lincoln area myself.

I'm from the Beatrice area south of Lincoln.

Glad your computer is back up and running.

Do you have the lapband or are you researching it at this point? Do you have any questions?

I'm no expert but I'd be glad to help in any way I can.

hello i am new also. scheduled to be banded 8/13/08

Welcome & good luck.

Glad your computer is back up and running.

I'm no expert but I'd be glad to help in any way I can.

I still haven't gotten my computer fixed at home - I'm just using my work computer over my lunch.

I do not have the lapband, but I do have an appointment in November.

That was the soonest they could get me in.

However, I did fill out all the paperwork they sent me so if there is a cancellation, my appointment will move up.

Good Luck SoccerMom!

I had to wait several months myself. Some clinics talk about patients having a "Last Meal". But I think the hardest part of the extended wait for me was feeling like I had to go on some sort of Farewell to food Tour! Honestly though I can't say there is one item I ate in the run-up to the band that I either can't eat now or just plain don't want to anymore.

Again good luck and glad you found this site. Its been a real blessing to me to have such a large community of fellow bandsters.

      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.

      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!!
