Hello,
I am still Pre- Surgery and working on Insurance Pre-Auth. I will be in touch with you, as I want to prepare myself as well, when I get my "date" Good Luck to you! Can't wait to hear!

OMG when you get things done you get things done!!!

Mine is going to be next month!!! I'm excited for you both.

I'm July 10th as well!!!

Okay! I'm a July sleever!!! The dr's office called its Wednesday 10th, yes in 2 days!!!

So I have been waiting on my surgery date for 2 weeks. I decide today to call the Surgeon and see what the hold up was....well she said she'd call me right back! After, 10 mins she called me back and said come today for your pre-op, we will see Wednesday morning for surgery!!!! Oh my goodness this is sooo real now....I'm terrified!

In the beginning I consider getting the band, bc a few people I knew had done OK on it. I enrolled in the lapband forum to do research. Today for curiosity I checked out the forum again. One thing I noticed was that most people were unhappy, had only lost 50lbs a year just to regain it all back. This helped settle my nerves; I had been worried I was making the wrong decision, but now I'm more determined than ever

I noticed everyone getting collagen powder, what does this help?

I'm a seasoned traveler that travels extensively for work & my brother works for the airlines;) Here are my suggestions should you be doing this "alone" contact the airlines notify them that you will need a shuttle and wheelchair. They airline will provide you with someone to help you to your destination, and have an airport shuttle meet you at your gate and take you were you need to go. Also, notify the gate when you arrive the flight attendants will board you first as well as any carry on you have, just be sure to let them know of any assistance you will need. That is what they are there for I hope this helps:)

My first goal was to be at 199 by July 4th! I weighed myself on the 4th of July and was at 200.8 but today I was at 199 lbs. I was ecstatic! I hope this is the beginning of many goals I will be reaching. YAY! for me!

I know how much my husband appreciates the musical horn solo lullaby I serenade him with each night when we go to bed!

You are not alone. I am continually surprised and impressed with the quantity of gas I have coming out of me. Not during the day, but at 6am when I wake up. It sounds like frog mating season in my house each morning.
But as far as you being the fart master, hmmm... I don't know. You must pass the test! Here, see this pebble? When you can fart and blow the pebble out of my hand before I close it and leave no skid marks - then and only then will you be the FART MASTER!

BAHAHAHAHAHAA!! I love it. I can't wait to back up into my husband under the covers and let one rip. Payback after 18 years of enduring the same from him. WOOOOOT!!

im bi polar and I don't go around telling story's to get attention. Bi polar is a mood disorder. It doesn't cause people to make up outrageous stories or purposely ruin people's life. Shame on you to say that just because you know one person who has bi polar.
