Hey girl ~~~I just wanted to say~~~ FIGHT! GIRL! FIGHT!!!!!! I'm in your corner!!!!! GOOD LUCK!!!

Penni ~Thanks girl for all your pictures/Prayers and encouraging thoughts!! I'll be in band land soon!!!

Corgi~ Girl I will be thinking of you tomorrow as we go together to the other side of bandland! Good luck on your recovery and let us know how you are as soon as you can. ((((HUGS)))) Jamie

Well not counting today (1 DAY TILL I GET MY BAND) Yippi. I think it is so close now I will make it. It seemed like it took for ever and now its finally in reach. I'm getting anxious but I now I will do fine. You all have a good day I gotta leave for my last day of work till after my recovery!!!

I was told to keep liquid Tylenol around after surgery. I can't find it anywhere. Any suggestions? I know you can buy it in childrens Tylenol but if I buy that I will have to take twice as much. Don't they sell it in Liquid for adults???

I finally found the Adult liquid Tylenol. Thanks for the info and for posting!!!

Gunn 4 Ya~ And ~Betty(I Luv Harleys) Thank you both for the sweet pms. I really appreciate you both offering such well needed suport and I will continue to BUG you for it LOL!!!

Smallest size in mine is an 18 and right now I wear a size 22/24. So I hope I will get in and out of those 18's really quick. I still have my prom dress which is a size 10... I might have to get that sucker out when I can wear it again and have a night out onthe town!!!!!

Please post soon to update us! Thinking of you!!!

Vinesqueen~ I 'm so glad your back and things went well. when you get feeling better fill us in on the details!!

Thanks Corgi~ This was something I was wondering about the other day. I love popcorn but I was afraid it would get stuck in the band. What is agood low fat or calorie popcorn to try???? Any one got any favorites???

I just wanted to say that my band day is almost here Friday March 18th and I should tell each and every one of you who have ever posted on LBT thank you!!! You all have given me hope and so many encouraging words that I will be forever greatful to each of you. You all have given me the courage to go after this life changing tool and have answered so many questions that have already made my journey thus far so much easier. I feel well informed and ready and I owe it all to the Bandsters of LBT. I must say that this has been one of the hardest times ever for me to realize just because I need WLS I am not a failure. I am taking the biggest and scarest step in my life to lose weight and I am happy that I am.I know I am making the right desicion and I won't regret it. I know I have lots of suport along the way Thanks to you all for taking time out of your buisy lives to make a huge difference in other peoples lives. I will be back and banded and on my way to a better me!! Thank you all ((((HUGS))) ALL AROUND!!!!!! P.S. for those who believe in prayer, Please say one for me on Friday!!!

Well I lost nothing this week and as long as I'm not gaining before I get my band I'd say that is an acomplishment in it's self! Hurray for me on losing 13 pounds before my band surgery on Friday March 18th.

Christina~ I am so sorry you got denied. I really wish I had good advice for you on the appeal process but I don't . I hope some one can give you some helpful advice. I just feel so awful for you and I wanted to say don't let this get you down girl. This does not mean you will not get your band. You just might have to fight a little longer to get it. I feel like you know who to go too and that is God in your prayers as I know you have already.Continue to pray and things will work out for your good. I am sending great big (((HUGS))))) your way and please don't lose faith!!!! You will SUCCEED!!!!!! Love you girl and I'm here for you!!! (((((HUGS)))))))

Brochelle~ Good luck on getting your band,but first you should do lots of research just like Alex said. This is one of the biggest desicions you could ever make in your life and you should be well informed before you make that desicion. There is lots of info here and also do a search on LapBand to find more information. Best place I have found for suport is right here on LBT so come back and read lots of old and new posts and get ready to learn from lots of experience bandsters. You might also call your Ins. Co. they should be able to tell you if the lapband is covered in your plan. Let us know what happens and again good luck.

Thanks Penni ~I love flowers. Yep penni it is Friday the 18th. That means I have 2 and1/2 days left!! LOL!!! Thanks again for all the pictures you have sent me on this thread they have made me feel better! The Best me~ You are so right it has come quickly. Thanks for all your support too!

Christina~ I think you have made the best desicion you could ever make. I commend you for getting rid of all those temptations in the kitchen . Wow what a great start! You can do this and you will have great success. you have found what the problem was and fought it and WON!!!! You are now in control,and as soon as you feel you are getting out of control again your band will be there to save you. Congratulations and I hope you hear from Ins. soon.Good Luck Girl!!!!!
