Learning from those that have been there, is the BEST thing about this forum. Welcome and Happy Thanksgiving!

Gobble gobble. I wanted to be banded by Halloween. Wasn't. I wanted to be banded by Thanksgiving. Wasn't. But in suppoort of my pals and for practice I will eat,and chew, and wait as if I was banded! Practice makes perfect.

Sounds southern to me!! Do you guys put gravy on your okra???!!!!

I feel your pain. I'm waiting also for bcbs.

Thanks for the recap. Others questions sonetimes is where I learn the most

Come on in. Sit down. Hope you brought a smartphone or tablet because the magazines are old. And it is getting real old waiting for approval and surgery date. So if you want to chat to pass the time, let's!!!!

Retired seventh grade science teacher. Loved the crazy hormonal kids. The parents, except for t he "not my kid types" were great.25 awesome years! Just ran into a former student tonight at cvs, he's 39!!!!!!!!

Hi icestorm, Noticed you have the same doc as someone I met today from MA. Hello from another New Englander

Hi I am waiting also. Stinks, doesn't it?! Most of the people I talk to haven't been banded all that long yet they know so much and are very helpful. And then the ones that have been banded for quite awhile don't mind the naive questions I ask. Feel free to chat anytime and we can be in the insurance wsitjng room together. Hmmm, that sounds like a good name for a thread! : )

Oh geez, you are from NY. Are you a yankees fan? I'm from Boston! Can this friendship ever have a future?????!!!!!! : )

Thanks for friending me! Have to call it a night. Think Thin!

Dreamers, you sound so much like me. and your questions were awesome. The best part of this site is learning from what others learn. I don't have a date yet, but hopefully around mid Dec. Also.

Look Mads, I didn't see the bat signal for banjo to come take care of business. Or else, you know, I would have been there just like for CG

BB's, united we stand, divided, hell, we'll never be divided!!!

Hey Julie, Welcome! I was a science teacher for 25 yrs, my favorite classes were my inclusion classes. I'm not banded either. Waiting on insurance to ok it. This place is a grwat way to hear first hand what people have experienced. But remember the obvious, everyone has diff. doctors so everyone had different info. And opinions. Enjoy your journey.

I remember awhile back a poster with a sharp tongue and being grateful their anger was being dished to strangers than to family, children, etc. My gals, let's meet up at home base.

Go to pre op diet and see what was written to cg.

Try using the manners I am sure your parents taught you. If someone takes the time and effort to give a heartfelt response, to frankly what was an obvious answer, then someone with class should accept it. If it is not the answer you are looking for well by alk means let me give you the answer you obviously were fishing for.....gaining 5 lbs while on a doctor directed diet GREAT job, I am sure your liver thinks you are awesome. Now seesawing and losing 7lbs, you are a legend. Keep asking questions, now we knoe how you want them answered. CG, no go deed......

What you talking about Willis? Lucy, you got some splainning to do! Sit on it potsie! I'm relying on tv to come up with a response.

You are now my lapband bff!!!

Hey banderina, Love the name btw. Not from CT, but a close neighbor in MA. Not been banded yet but impatiently waiting for the ok. But if you ever want to yack it up with me I am here, learning as much as possible. BUT, are you a yankee or sox fan?? There is a fine line drawn down your state.

Not just a pretty face on a huge body ya know!

Yikes, I am glad your scare is over.

Second the motion, mads.

I haven't been banded yet, but have been a science teacher for 25 yrs.Yes, your band will be tighter with lower temp, and higher in warmer temp but because your body is warmblooded @ 98.6, you shouldn't notice a difference due to temp change.
