Bout to roll off to be sleeved! .....

Tying to SLeep!!

ThNx And best of luck to u !

Wow this is kinda scary... Friday to the hospital by 6 am ..... It's really here!

My surgery is also in six days and I feel as I'm on a rollercoaster ride of emotions! So I completely understand what you are going thru! I will keep you in my prayers...

I was denied 2 times and finally approved to get my sleeve! I have do many emotions balled up inside right now! But one question ?? How long are you in the hospital if everything goes good? So I can make plans for my children. I've waited for over a year to get this done and I'm like 2 weeks away

Don't beat yourself up we are only human... Just try and listen to your dr he has your best interest! I asked my dr why every dr has a different approach to this preop diet an he stated besides to shrink the liver.... It is for you to get maximum weight loss for your personal self before surgery! Best of luck to all of yous! Excited for this tool to use onto. A healthy lifestyle change

I see the dietician on Tuesday and start the preop diet then my dr says stage 1 is 2-4 weeks adding one mushy food at a time!

Thank you and best of luck to you too!

I just wanna say I luv how this site is very positive and all the encouragement u have to offer us on our journey!! BUT I have done everything for the drs request for the past 2 months ive been struggling with loosing the 10% Ive lost 6 and i need to loose 5-6 more llbs before they will put the request in for insurance approval....so needless to say i feel stuck with trying to loose the lil few so I can get a DATE... thats all I want... just a date on the schedule....So Ive tried the liquids (protien shake) sf pops sf Jello tons of bottled Water and it doesnt seem to be working...I dont know if b/c i joined a gym and workout everyday and zumba 3 times a week if im just creating muscle instead of loosing ...I dont know any suggestions to help me loose 5 in like 2 weeks....I guess i have to see it on paper to change...i just really am excited to succeed with this tool and want it done ASAP!!!! Thanx for reading! =) KELLY

The insurance company will not even give approval for the sleeve until i loose 10 %.....so here i am still stuck and go to the drs on the 26th and if i can shed the few llbs the will send in for authorization for approval for the sleeve and get my date is what i want =)

Hello could you please email me one...Thank you in advance Kelly princessrahniya@yahoo.com

Hello All.... I am so glad I found yous. My name is Kelly and I am from Syracuse NY. Im really ready and really excited to start this journey to now make healthy choices and no im not on a diet...LOL! Im incurring behavior modification into a new lifestyle for myself and family. I am 29yrs old, happily married and a mother of four. The reason for the Lap Band surgery is Ive had to back surgeries and can not get NO weight off and Ive tried it all. I had most of my testing on Jan. 4th 2011 which came back great. On Thursday Jan 27th I met with the Nutritionist and had my Pshycological Exam which they too went very well. Im Pshyced!! So now I have to lose 7 more Llbs before my insurance will cover the Laproscopic lap Band procedure. Also I have to attend 1 support group and 1 more nutrition visit before my Dr. will schedule. My Drs. name is Dr. Jeffrey DeSimone and hes wonderful. He works out of Community General Hospital with great staff and been doing this type of work for over 30 years. I watch alot of youtube videos which really are preparing me for the pre and post op of the Lap Band Life. Im looking forward to this Life Changing Journey and really excited to start chatting with those who have had and are starting their journey to get the Lap Band done. Keep positive and stay focused with your eye on the prize! Look forward to any positive feedback as Im new to the LapBandTalk! Love to You ALL....Kelly

Thanx for the encouragement and i am gonna start the chat cant wait for the laughs...hehe! Good Luck with yours and im sure we will be talking! =)
