THANKS SO MUCH FOR THE SUPPORT GUYS. I AM SOOOO EXCITED RIGHT NOW. I GUESS TOO EXCITED TO FEEL NERVOUS. I AM READY TO GO. I KNOW THAT I HAVE MADE THE RIGHT DECISION. I AM 37 WITH DIABETES. DOC SAYS I WILL PROBABLY NO LONGER HAVE TO TAKE THE MEDS TO CONTROL MY SUGAR. THAT IS WHAT I WANTED TO HEAR. I KNEW I COULD COUNT ON ALL OF YOU FOR SUPPORT AND PRAYER. I AM JOINING A GREAT GROUP OF BANDERS. AND THOSE OF YOU WHO ARE STILL WAITING.......BEST OF LUCK TO YOU. YOUR DAY WILL COME SOON. I BELIEVE THAT EVERYTHING HAPPENS FOR A REASON. I KNOW THAT MEETING ALL OF YOU HAPPENED BECAUSE OF THE GREAT SUPPORT THAT YA'LL OFFER. THANKS FOR EVERTHING THAT YA'LL HAVE DONE FOR ME, AND FOR EVERYTHING THAT I KNOW YOU WILL CONTINUE TO DO.

THANKS KAO, I KNEW I COULD COUNT ON YOU. I STILL DON'T FEEL SCARED OR NERVOUS, WHAT IS UP WITH THAT.

HAVE NOT BEEN BANDED YET, BUT I LOVE FLAT DR. PEPPER. I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE.

OKAY GUYS, I REALLY NEED SOME ADVICE. I DON'T YET HAVE A DATE. I AM CURRENTLY WAITING ON INSURANCE APPROVAL WHICH I WILL HOPEFULLY GET SOMETIME THIS COMING WEEK. MY PROBLEM IS THAT I AM STARTING TO FEEL VERY NERVOUS AND SOMEWHAT DEPRESSED. I CAN'T SEEM TO RELAX AND MY LEFT SHOULDER IS HURTING I GUESS FROM FEELING STRESSED. DID ANYONE ELSE FEEL THIS WAY, AND IF SO WHAT CAN I DO TO CALM MY NERVES AND RELAX. I AM VERY ANXIOUS ABOUT THE SURGERY AND I CANNOT WAIT TILL I GET MY SURGERY DATE. I WANT TO BE RELAXED AND CALM UNTIL THEN. PLEASE HELP.

I AM SOOOO GLAD I CAN DEPEND ON ALL OF YOU FOR SUPPORT. MY HOUSE HAS NEVER LOOKED SO GOOD. LOL. ANYWAY THANKS FOR YOUR SUPPORT, IT MAKES A WORLD OF DIFFERENCE TO ME.

I AGREE WITH STEF. I TOO DRINK THE UNJURY IN CHOCOLATE. I MIX MINE WITH SOY MILK AND IT TASTES REALLY GOOD. NOT BANDED YET, BUT TRYING TO PREPARE MYSELF.

THANKS MISCHIEVOUS, I LIKE IT TOO. I HOPE I END UP LOOKING THIS HOT WHEN ALL IS SAID AND DONE.........LOL

I THINK THAT WORKS. I LOVE IT DAMMIT...... LOL I CHANGED MINE AS WELL AFTER READING THE POST. NOW MINE SAYS "TEXAS GIRL" INSTEAD OF THE BORING "REGISTERED USER"

CONGRATS TO YOU LUVINKE :clap2::clap2::clap2: SOUNDS LIKE YOU ARE DOING WELL. I AM STILL WAITING ON THE INS. APPROVAL, BUT HOPE TO JOIN YOU SOON IN BANDLAND. I HOPE YOU CONTINUE TO RECOVER WELL. KEEP US UPDATED ON YOUR PROGRESS.

welcome Gibson, nice To Have You Aboard. I Feel The Same Way About This Site. There Is A Ton Of Info. Here. I Am Awaiting Ins. Approval At The Moment. Can't Wait To Actually Have A Date For Surgery. I Am A 36 Year Old Female From Texas. Best Of Luck To You On This Amazing Journey.

i Agree With Liberty. I Too Am Drinking The Unjury In Chocolate Flavor. I Mix It With Organic Soy Milk, And It Tastes Great. It Doesn't Carry The After Taste, Or Mediciny Taste.

i Am Very Excited For You. It Is Normal To Be Nervous. I Wish You The Very Best Of Luck. Keep Us Updated On Your Recovery And Progress. Stay Positive, And Remember We Are All Here For You.

laralynn, i Know That You Are Smart Enough To Know That What You Are Doing Is Not Healthy. I Know Because I Was The Same Way. I Have Not Yet Been Banded, But I Did This To Myself For Months. I Am Glad You Posted This Because I Would Have Never Admitted To This. I Would Make Myself Throwup After Eating To Much Of Something I Should Never Have Eaten In The First Place. I Would Eat It Knowing That I Would Get Rid Of It After A While. I Felt Sooo Good Afterward Because I Knew It Was No Longer In My Body. After A Couple Of Hours I Would Eat Again, But In Moderation. I Always Thought To Myself If It Isn't In My Body I Won't Gain Weight. I Started To Research Lapband Surgery And Once The Ball Got Rollin I Decided That I Was Not Going To Live Like That Anymore. I Decided That I Was Going To Have The Surgery And That I Didn't Want To Do Anything That Might Hurt My Chances Of Having Surgery. I Knew All Along That What I Was Doing Was Not Right. Now, I Eat In Moderation And I Never Eat Enough To Fill Me Up, Just To Satisfy Me Because I Don't Want To Have The Negative Thoughts Of What I Have Put In My Body. I Know With The Help Of The Band I Will Never Do That To Myself Again. Please Don't Think That What You Are Doing Is Okay Because It's Not. There Are So Many Things That Can Go Wrong With Your Body Because Of Unhealthy Eating Habits. Please Be Careful And Quit Doing This To Your Body.

i Too Have A Bmi Of 37 With About 80lbs. To Lose. I Am Also Diabetic With A Family History Of Diabetes, Cancer, And Heart Disease. I Am Awaiting Approval As Well. Doc Says There Should Be No Problem At All With Getting Approved. He Said They Were Expecting Approval Within 2 Weeks. I Have Bcbs Of Ohio-ppo

forgot To Mention That I Am Looking Forward To Buying My First Harley. And Actually Looking Good On It. Lol

GREAT THREAD. I WOULD LOVE TO 1.BE GUTSY ENOUGH TO GET IN THE POOL WHILE VACATIONING. I KNOW NOBODY THERE KNOWS ME, BUT I DON'T WANNA SCARE ANYONE. 2. BE ABLE TO SHOP AT A NORMAL CLOTHING STORE RATHER THAN A PLUS SIZE WOMAN'S STORE. YUK 3. BE ABLE TO GO BIKE RIDING WITH THE FAMILY OR EVEN FOR A WALK AROUND THE NEIGHBORHOOD W/OUT LOSING MY BREATH RIGHT AWAY. 4. GET ON EVERY SINGLE RIDE AT THE AMUSEMENT PARK W/OUT BEING PARANOID AS TO WHETHER OR NOT THE LAP BELT WILL FIT AROUND ME. 5. I JUST WANT SOMEONE TO SAY "DAMN THAT WOMAN LOOKS GOOD", INSTEAD OF THE USUAL "SHE'S GOT SUCH A PRETTY FACE". 6. I JUST WANNA LIKE WHAT I SEE IN THE MIRROR FOR A CHANGE. 7. AND MOST OF ALL ASIDE FROM BEING HEALTHY, I WANNA SPEND A TON OF MONEY ON A NEW WARDROBE. IS THAT WANTING A LITTLE TOO MUCH? I DON'T THINK SO. I BELIEVE WE ARE ALL WORTH IT.

I AGREE WITH AUBRIE. I READ MANY POSTS AND GOT MANY ANSWERS. I TELL YOU BY THE TIME I GOT TO THE SURGEON I ONLY HAD 2 OR 3 QUESTIONS FOR HIM. I DID ASK HIM ABOUT BEING NAUSEATED AFTER SURGERY. HE TOLD ME THEY WOULD GIVE ME A STEROID FOR THAT. REALLY EVERY OTHER QUESTION I HAD WAS ANSWERED ON HERE OR WAS ALREADY EXPLAINED TO ME BEFORE I EVEN HAD TIME TO ASK. BEST OF LUCK TO YOU.

i Too Have A Bmi Of 37. I Am Also Diabetic. I Also Have A Family History Of Diabetes, Heart Disease, And Cancer. I Am Waiting Right Now For Ins. Approval. I Am Bcbs Of Ohio. Surgeon Told Me There Should Be No Problem At All Getting Approval. I Hope Everything Works Out For You. Good Luck On Your Journey, And Keep Visiting This Site. Tons Of Awesome People Here And An Endless Amount Of Information.

rashad i Am Drinking The Unjury With Soy Milk Right Now, And It Is Very Good Tasting. It Doesn't Taste Like Most Powders Out There. I Bought The Chocolate Flavor And This Is Definitely Something I Will Not Have A Problem Drinking. You Should Try It.

whewwww thank Goodness It Won't Affect That. I Was To Embarrassed To Ask.
