Any December '08 Bandsters?



Recommended Posts

I have my surgery on Dec. 5th with Dr. Kuri. I fly into San Diego on the 4th and then back out on the 7th. I am in Jupiter, FL which basically is the North end of Palm Beach County (West Palm Beach). Are you in Florida also? I noticed that molinomama is from Pensacola.

Hi, Yes I am from Cooper City. I fly in on Dec.8th surgery on Dec.9th.

I will see you there we can enjoy a glass of Water together..Ha Ha

Actually if your coming in on the 8th and I am out on the 7th we'll just miss each other! But hey we can find a South Florida Bandsters Group and meet up after surgery for a good glass of Water and some Jello on the side!

Hello everyone,

I think there are two threads for December. There is also one under Monthly Lap-Band support groups - 2008 bandsters - December 2008 Bandsters.

Just wanted to mention that since there are so many of us.

I am really excited and nervous all at the same time.

Nina

I hope to be a December or early January bandie! My bday is 12/31, so I figure it'll be my gift to myself, and as long as I get to eat at Thanksgiving, I can get through the Christmas holidays at home. At work? That's ANOTHER story. If I'm on liquids at that point it'll make it easier, for me it'll be all or nothing!

Hi, I just found out my date. December 9th. I'm excited and nervous !! They asked me if I'd like to wait until Dec. 30th and I gave it some thought at first. You know... All the Christmas goodies. Then I thought what am I thinking, DO NOT put this off for another meal.... So I'm set to go. :smile2:

My doctor usually will schedule about 2-3 weeks out, but they are planning to submit to my insurance for approval as soon as they get one more thing from my primary doctor. I'm really hoping that Late December or early January is a reasonable time...I will NOT be happy if I need to wait till summer (this has to get in and approved for this winter).

I thought my Ins. company was going to give me a problem, but I just had to follow up the first request with a history of diets, exercise etc etc. Then it was really fast, I was shocked. This whole thing has taken about 3 months.

      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!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?
