I am scheduled for my surgery 12-22-09!!!!! yippy!!!!! the only thing is i have lost my my-emmi access code. i have seen the video but my mother has not. she really wants to watch it inorder to be informed and be as supportive as possible. Does anyone know where I can get an access number to my-emmi before monday?

It should be in an email to you. If you lost the email, the only other way I know to get it is to call the doctor which would be Monday.

I don't know if yours will be the same as mine but here goes.

12190076997 Hope this works for you and Good luck on your weight loss. Mine was scheduled for January 7th but I had a liver transplant in April of 2008 and my hepatologist decided he wants me to wait until my next biopsy this coming April before he will give me the go ahead to have it done. I am very disappointed but this NEW liver is far more important to me that the weight loss .

Merry Christmas to you and all of your family.:rolleyes2:

this is kind of confusing to explain, but I know my computer has an "auto add" type feature... you know where you start typing in something and if it's something you've typed in before it will give you a little 'pop up' of the entire thing so you can just click on it and it fill it in automatically.

Kind of like if I've filled in a form before and I type in "T" and it will pop up "Terri", and I just click on the pop up and go one to the next entry....

My my-emmie did the same think with my code, so when I went back to watch it a second time and I entered the first number the rest of it came up in a pop up.

So what I would try maybe it so enter one digit and see if you get a pop up... if not, delete that number and try the next number... etc.

Does that make sense?

Hope it helps

Blue Cross Blue Shield of IL has the emmi tool on their website- no password needed. I'm not sure if it is the one you are looking for, but here is a link:

just curious as to what is the video of?is it the general info on the lapband or is it an actual surgery of someone having the procedure done?

i started to watch a video of the actual procedure being done one someone and got scared and stopped watching after about 15 seconds cause it showed the dr stuffing his finger in one of the laproscopic holes ... freaked me out a bit but i am really curious about seeing it but am afraid it will scare me out of wanting to do it? lol

any prebandsters watched a video of a an actual procedure?

What is my-emmi?

My Emmi is a series of videos that will be sent to your home email or whichever email you give them throughout the course of your Lapband journey. As far as I know this series is only for patients that chose Allergan Lapband. It is a very generic support video that walks you through the steps of your next progression level as you progress every couple of months. It does not show real live people and does not show anything gross. It is a very simple video to watch and understand. However, you should always watch it because a confirmation goes back to your surgeon that you have completed each one and it does help keep you focused and is part of your Lapband support.

      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!!
