That's a bummer! Well keep us posted when you do get your approval !

I'll add to all of the above. Calm down and settle in, you're in it for the long haul. Get out of your own way and let the band to its job!

Yaaaayyyyy! That's awesome! So proud of you! Xoxoxo

Awe, you don't have any haters! High strung good intenders maybe but no haters...can't believe it!

Did you get denied or just not gonna approve in time?

The app for the iPhone says the same thing. I can access it from my iPad though...???

A pound of fat weighs the same as a pound of muscle. However, the fat takes up more space. So if you are noticing a difference in your clothes enjoy. Weight is a result not a goal. Having said that, unless you are body building your body will drop fat quick once it stabilizes. Are you jogging at all? That usually shakes things up!

I was banded 10/5. I have lost 37!

Or the types of food for that matter. Good reply!

I'm 7 weeks post op. my turkey was 23 lbs this year... I lost my turkey, the 10lb bag of potatoes I made and the casserole dish of stuffing! (37!)

They give you a lot of meds before and after for nausea because you absolutely cannot vomit. Too many complications. I only had nausea 3rd day out when I woke up. I took the meds and then I was fine.

Since I have been stuck, on chicken, ONCE, I got the after-the-fact humor of what you wrote. Omg does it ever hurt! I didn't think it was bad drama as Missy put it... But she said it herself...she wasn't going for nice. I also get where everyone else was trying to warn newbies.. So, here it goes... NEWBIES, LISTEN CAREFULLY... no joke, your band will spank you if you don't follow the rules...HARD. Distraction, eating too fast, not wetting dry turkey with broth or mayo or something... Nothing to stop you from having the band but something to think about when eating! I felt like I had lit a big fat emergency flare, swallowed it while lit and it just didn't make it all the way down... My kids though I would die.. I just breathed, walked round and DID NOT DRINK. It passed quickly even though it felt like forever. Thanks for the good laugh and the reminder!
