No, I am not liking this thread either. LOL

Congratulation!!

Thank you for the info!

Sorry about you bad experience! It's the many, many stories like yours that crossed the band off my options list. Can you go to a different ER? I live next to five major hospitals (all within ten miles of me) and countless urgent care centers so I have a lot of options. But I know not everyone has that option. But even if I didn't, I think I would go to the next nearest ER unless I was in a life and death situation, if I was in your position. Did they find out why your band did what it did? I would find out before using the same doctor again. Anyways, welcome to the board! We're glad to have you.

I swim laps. it keeps the weight off my knees and feet.

I will be going back to work after two weeks. I have a very physical job so I will have my doc give me a note for lite duty for two weeks after that. I plan to pre-pack my meals and have bought water bottles with filters. Will see what happens!

Congratulations!

Fiber!!! It is a God send, and you can find it in liquid and chewable forms!

I think your post is repeating.

I hear it's the sugar. For some reason the little pouch is unable to stand it. (Shrugs)

If you like your job, keep it! Jobs are hard to come by. Workout or go for a walk on your off time.

Good luck! The wait has been killing me too. I know I will blink and and it will all be done, but in the meantime. Keep us posted!

Welcome to the site. You can find everything here, it's amazing!

I'm so excited for you! You're in my prayers!

This is one of my favorite YouTube videos by Jenna Marbles. Watch if you want a laugh. Warning there is some curse words. How Diets Work...

LOL, she's awesome.

LOL, Have you seen her 'I Hate Being a Grown up' video? It's the best!

I love to swim too! I just hate shaving and so I didn't go tonight...

Congrats!!!

I am just a little ahead of you. I am almost done with my third month. Hopefully my insurance will have my application before the month is over so that they can start processing it and I can get a surgery date. I had the three month diet, three visits with a NUT and one visit with a Phyc. I don't smoke and I have finally gotten rid of sodas and caffeine. About to start working on not drinking thirty minutes before or after eating, and lowering my carb and sugar intake. One step at a time. Good luck and keep us posted with your progress.

I have BCBS of TX, PPO. WLS is covered for me as well. Had a three month diet, three NUT visits and a Phyc visit.

Looking good! Congrats!

Good for you!
