LMBO, Kelly, this made me giggle. Thanks everyone for commiserating with me! I think I needed that most of all! Good to hear that others are able to eat a bit more with the blessing of their surgeons...I'm not sure was Dr Velarde will say...but at least I won't feel bad when I mush my T-day food! I'm not gonna lie...I'm mushing some turkey...I'll stick with the healthy foods, but I'm mushing soon, dammit! lol I figure I'll stick everything in my Kitchenaid mini-chop (which if you don't have you def should get!!) and make it the consistency of tuna...then I'll add some broth, or a small bit of gravy. I know I can be strong and will be strong...I just needed to be reminded! It's also nice to hear from the peeps who got banded the same day as me!

Hi everyone! My name is Ursula...I've been lurking around the site for awhile, and just hadn't posted. I'm 32 y/o, from central Florida, and just got banded today!! After sleeping for most of the day, then walking for awhile, and relaxing...I had to get online! I've been very lucky with my lapband journey. Insurance (BCBSFL) approved on the first try. I do work for a government entity which is self insured though BCBS, and they specifically added lapband as a covered procedure. I have the HMO plan, so my copay was only $50 for the surgery itself! So for now I'm relaxing at home, looking forward to my new life!!
