I started this process out in a size 18/20! I can't believe it:) My band is still being really finicky. I haven't had any restriction at all for the past 2 weeks. I can even eat bread again. My weight is staying the same though so I'm okay with it, for now. I'm going to see about getting another fill in a couple of weeks though. My next goal is to wear a size 8. I can't believe I'm so close to single digits!!

Hi All, My name is Sherry, I'm set to be banded in less than a week, on May 19th. My Doctor is Dr. Larry Gellman in Long Island, New York. I am pretty nervous, I am very fortunate that I do not have any health issues, and am doing this because I do not want to wind up with any at the rate I am going. I'm worried about possible complications and what my banded future is going to be like. I just hope I am not playing with fire, is all. In any case, this site looks great, there are so many supportive people sharing the same journey. Best of luck to all! Sherry

I wanted to share the new "NOW" LAP-BAND System Radio Ad! Have any comments ? What are your thoughts ? http://www.wlsboards.com/lapband/NowCampaignGeneric_60_MIX.mp3

That is wonderful! I have an appointment with the surgeon on Monday, 5/16 and then they will submit it to my insurance. It is a long road....I hope to be banded in June. Good luck with your journey.

Oh also, if you're looking for something other than choc. shakes, I've been drinking Syntrax Nectar protein. It's made out of whey protein isolate (my nutritionist said that's the best kind) and it's 100 cal., 0 carb, and 23 g. protein per scoop. I like the Roadside Lemonade and the Pink Grapefruit flavors. I bought them at Vitamin Shoppe and you can return them there if you don't like the taste. I tried the Vanilla Torte which was nasty, and the Fuzzy Navel which was too peachy for me. Good Luck!

4 1/2 days left for me!! Yay us!

Only 60 pounds!!! Do you have any comorbidities like diabetes, high blood pressure? I too only need to lose about 65lbs. I say only very loosely! I am scheduled for lap band August 10, 2011.

I would've told the bitch-- that would've shut her up, lol.

Lucky Lady, Welcome and good luck. I understand the nervousness... but it is so worth it all.

I am hoping to be!!!! I have done a whirlwind to get here.. now I am hoping. I have managed to get everything done, and am waiting on my surgical consult on March 23rd for a date. I had pre-requested time off in May for a family function that was cancelled, so I am hoping to occupy that time working on Project Tamera.. We will see! Once I get my date, I will confirm, maybe we can be buddies!
