Congratulations to all. Very positive attitude is needed to achieve our healthy goals. I can hardly wait for the band date, Aug 6. I'm so ready and bring it on!

I can be a long distant "buddy" if you like. I live in California. We are all in this together, and we can share experiences on the way to success.

So happy for you and surgery is right around the corner. I will be praying for you and that all will be okay.

Best wishes and good luck with your surgery. It sounds like you are ready to tackle the ordeal ahead of you. Keep your positive attitude.

Congratulations all! Your new journey begins! Prayer's and special blessings to all. May God Bless.

Increase the exercise to jump start losing again. Longer walks.

Congratulations. I'm startting my liquid diet only 10 days from my surgery date of Aug 6. I feel this will enable me to handle the post op liquids only much easier. The doctor did not give me any restrictions prior to 24 hours and then liquid only. I have already lost 21 pounds on liquid Protein, Breakfast and lunch, dinner salad with broiled chicken breast. Ive been practicing chewing the chicken 20-25 times before I swallow that I will have to do after post-op surgery. Continued best wishes on your recovery.

Good Luck with insurance hangups. On the seminar I asked about present medical pills I'm taking and my surgeon told me the day of surgery to take my medical pills only, not vitamins/minerals with some Water. I only have to stop eating the day before surgery, but I'm going to just do Protein Shakes 10 days before surgery. I've lost 21 pounds so far and I was required to lose 12 pounds. My band date is Aug. 6 at 1:30pm.

Do surgeons favor the right side for installing port. Does it matter?

It doen't really matter to me, I was just curious about location, Thanks to all. I will be banded on Aug 6.

Hugs to make you feel better. Hang in there and prayer's for your quick recovery.

No, the print is all okay on my pc. I use Firefox 13.0.

You look outstanding! Congratulations on your hard work and weight loss.

Congratulations!

I know there are lot's of companies who make quality Vitamins & minerals. I've checked into GNC vitamins, Trader Joes, and a local health store about what they carry. Most pharmasists that I've personally talked with all agree that I could use a good quality local vitamin/mineral pill but maybe have to take 2 pills a day to provide all that is required. I do agree to also include antioxidents/minerals which most vita companies don't provide in their ingredients. Guess we have to try and find a company we like the taste or maybe mix the daily pills in a shake to take daily.

You might be able to do this at Seaworld. Its a big park, just walk a little and then sit. There are wheel chairs available if you have someone to push you. It might be tender in the surgery incision if you try and push yourself. I've included infor on electric strollers for you, very reasonable and being :handicapped" for a day or so, you can get on the rides first and your party is included. Enjoy yourself at SeaWorld and best wishes again Surgery day. http://seaworldparks.com/en/seaworld-sandiego/Park-Info/Wheelchair-Rental

I met with my doctor today and my final pre-op is Aug 3 and surgery is scheduled for Aug. 6. I'm so thrilled!!

Best wishes and Godd Luck.

Congratulations, and best wishes on your upcoming surgery.

Congratulations! So, 12 pounds after being banded and without restriction is great news. That's 3 pounds a week. Keep up the good work!!

Hopefully in early August I will be where you are, but I want to be banded. I need this tool to continue losing the necessay poundage that I've accumulated over the years. Good luck on your day and may God bless you.

He's in everybody's corner that wants him! Keep the faith.
