Good luck! Keep us posted!

I get numbed, it doesn't hurt though.

Welcome to LBT! Dream on girl, that's what makes life so interesting! :)

Wow, you really do have some thinking to do! I admire you for being able to just go and do those things. Good luck in whatever decision you make!

I had that problem for a long time, but now it doesn't bother me anymore.

I'm sorry you don't have coverage. I didn't have any coverage either, but I did find a credit card that offered 0% interest for a year. I took that out and then when the year was up I found one that was 3% so I transferred it to that one. Hopefully you will find some way to come up with the money. Good Luck!

Welcome to LBT Janet! How neat that the two of you are getting banded together. I would think that would make life so much easier for both of you. My DH eats all the time, and makes me want snacks even when I'm not hungry! Good luck to both of you, and keep us posted!

I had a steak, baked potato, and salad. I thought I would never be able to eat steak again, but I don't have a problem with it at all!

Welcome back Patty! Gosh, that must have been a painful fall you took there girl! Glad you are doing better today! I would call your PCP and ask them about the tests. It most likely is that the test showed your sugar at the high end and she picked up on it. No use worrying yourself sick, call your doctor's office and ask them what it means. I bet the nurse can just look at your file and tell you. Sounds like you found some really good bargains! Keep us posted! Hugs!

Congrats! Hard work pays off!

My doctor had me use Carnation Instant Breakfast, it's not bad tasting, and you can drink it cold or make hot chocolate with it. What is your doctor recommending though? Some doctors have a certain product they want you to use.

Awwww Penni, I'm sorry you are having those problems. I sometimes find chewing gum will keep me from being hungry. It already sounds like you are keeping busy and I know that helps. I hope when you get the meals it will help even more. I know it must be very difficult for you right now. Are you still working with your personal trainer? Are you still working out/walking? I'm here if you just want someone to talk to. I know what you are feeling, I've lost weight a ton of times only to gain it right back. So, please don't hesitate to call me if you want to just talk. I really think you can beat this weight thing, you just have to find the program that works for you. I have found that one program doesn't work for everyone! Hang in there, vent to us when you are feeling down or just need a friend. Hugs!

Doc you are acting normal! It's only natural that you are scared, nervous, and excited all at once. I would think something was wrong with you if your weren't! Make sure you take something loose with you for after surgery. I wore a big lounger type dress and it was perfect. I didn't wear my bra home either! You might want to take a small travel pillow with you for the ride home, it sure helps the belly! I would also suggest if you are going to Mexico, travel very light, you won't want to carry much after the surgery, but do take a bottle of Water or gatorade with you for the ride back. If someone is going with you, they might want to take some Snacks with them also. Well, I got the phone problem handled, after going to the cingular store, they gave me a number to call from home:mad: Why can't you just go to one place and get taken care of anymore? Anyway, they are sending me a new phone for DH in the mail. They wanted to know if I wanted it sent express for $7.50 or regular mail. I ask where it would be mailed from and they said Grand Prairie which only takes a day anyway so I saved the $7.50! I guess it is time for me to get some work done around here, I have been playing all day! Later!

You look great! Job well done!

Happy Birthday! Have a great one and do something special for yourself! :)

Congrats! Let us know the date for sure when you get it!

Good Morning! Just a little chilly here this morning, only going to be in the 60's today! Eileen - Fills have never hurt me, and they only take about a minute to do! They have me lay down, they feel for the port, mark a spot then numb it and then put some fill in, have me sit back up and drink Water. That's it! Don't worry, you'll wonder why you were so nervous after it is all done! :) Texas won last night in the "Rose Bowl" Yeah!!!!!! It really was a good game! Mav's lost though, they looked really bad from the start! I am going to try to take my DH cell phone in today, he has been having trouble with it for a while and he really needs it while working. It just keeps going dead on him and that's not good! It isn't even a year old, so we'll see what excuses they give to me! We have cingular and since they took over AT&T it has been terrible. Hopefully now that they are going back with the AT&T name things will get better. Good morning to all that haven't posted! I'll check back later!

Sometimes being too tight will cause you not to lose weight! You'll get there, and good for you for contacting your doctor and taking care of your band!

I know in Texas you don't have to wear a helmet, but I always do! It doesn't take long to hit your head and cause brain damage or kill you. I don't like wearing one, but I would rather be hot than dead!

Welcome to LBT! I only had to take a small sip too, and it wasn't bad at all. I gag on all that stuff too, so if I can do it, so can you! :)

Congrats! Now just remember to chew really good!

Welcome to LBT! Good luck!

Hope you are feeling better today. Have you added anything more to your diet? Let us know how you are doing.

Wow, that's great Jessie! :)

Congrats! Let us know how it goes!
