Hello all, I am getting ready to go to the seminar and in hopes of changing my life for ever. I have already got pre-certified from my insurance so hopefully the next 6 mo. will go by quickly. I am very nervous but excited. I am looking for new friends and experiences so talk to me and I also would like to know other peoples receipes and do's and don'ts regarding diet after the surgery. Beck:wink_smile:

Did the newsletter Jeannie mentioned at the support group Monday get emailed. I didn't get a copy if it did could someone send it to me?

I dont think she is mailing them yet. You should have gotten it at the meeting

I have a question. I am taking a cold and when I do I usally take alkaselzter cold and flu medicine. Will that effect the band after I let it sit and fizz for a while?

hmm I dunno.. I know we talked about that last winter, I want to say to stay away from it.. Have you ever tried Tylenol cold and flu? that works for me also get some zycam, my doctor even recommends Zycam he says him and his wife both use it and notice a big difference.. Im trying to get a cold also so I have been hitting the zycam, tylenol and breathing treatments... Like I said, me personally would say no about it, but maybe call Jeannie and see what her thoughts are on it. Hope you get feeling better
