    my a1c before surgery was 6.3...since surgery it is now a 5.8 (normal) -- with your weightloss, your numbers will go down

    Imaginary Lap Band :-)

    jamesmom replied to TexasDianne's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    i didnt do the imaginary lap band , but i did start doing the shakes before i was supposed to so i could get an idea of what i liked and kind of whean myself off food. you'll be able to lose weight doing the pre-op diet early Good luck!

    jamesmom commented on banditmarie's blog entry in banditmarie's Blog

    my surgery is friday and the only way to feel kind of full is eating jello and drinking the shake really slow. its hard at first, then you get used to it. ive lost 10 pounds in 10 days

  16. jamesmom
    i am on day 7 of my liquid diet and i must agree the first 3 days were the pits! its getting easier --- i have lost 7 pounds in 7 days; my surgery is next friday.
  17. jamesmom
    ok...i started my liquid diet today and i ate some sugar free jello and was drinking my protein shake and i almost threw up I'm trying to keep in mind that its just 2 weeks and its for surgery, but i need some encouragement...someone tell me its not going to be like this for the next 13 days.

    Lap Band Approval Pending..

    jamesmom replied to MrsMyers10's topic in Insurance & Financing

    My doctor submitted my paperwork (i have BCBS) on 11/09/2011 and i called today to check on the approval and they told me it was approved on 11/18/2011 --- wahoo!!
  23. jamesmom
    if you get it removed now, then you can give your body time to heal and get your band in december; i got mine removed 4 last month....its no biggie!

    i had my gallbladder removed september 23rd...i had it removed on a friday and back to work on tuesday -- not a big deal.
  25. jamesmom
    I had my gallbladder removed last Friday 09/23/2011 -- i was up and moving the sameday (i have a 18 month old) just a little sore (like i did a lot of sit ups). I went back to work Tuesday 09/27/2011; i feel great! if Lapband surgery is easier than gallbladder surgery, then it should be a piece of cake!
