After Today He Is Definitely Getting Kicked To The Curb!!! I Have Had It!!! Has Anyone Gotten To That Point Where They Wake Up Every Morning Hating That Person More And More Until One Day It Doesnt Matter What They Do, Say, Look, Anything You Just Want To Run Away From Them Screaming!!!!!! Thats Me Today!!!! It Started At 3am This Morning When He Stumbled Himself To Bed(i Have To Be Up By 630am!!) And It Continued On My Lunch Break When I Went Home (him Gripping About The Mess He Made Last Night That Claims Its My Fault?) And Its Never Gonna Stop....i Want Out Today!!! Today I Wanna Be Me!!! Today Im Gonna Be Me!!!! Wish Me Luck And Prayers

so i havent met with the surgeon yet and i have a educational class i have to go to on august 1st where we get to learn about the lap band and ask questions so i am posing this question to anyone who would like to respond... what question do you wish you wouldve asked before you got banded or what question do you have after you got banded that you cant find an answer to? i would like to compile a list of questions together to take to both places so i feel totally knowledged and maybe someone has some questions i havent thought of...thanks

i havent heard of endometriosis being a problem..i have pcos..polycystic ovarian syndrome and i got approved..good luck to ya!!! take a look around here at the forum..it is very very helpful and keep us updated on how your doing!!!!

ive always hated going to the doctors, especially when you are put into your exam room and the nurse gets a gown for you...i always hate it when they grab a gown, then size you up, put that gown back and grab a bigger one or even 2 small ones...one for the front and one for the back!!!! i should just bring my own gown next time and give her the look as i pull it out of my purse!!!!! hahahaha

Good Luck To You And Let Us Know How You Are Doing

Thanks...all Of These Are Great Questions And Many I Have Not Thought Of Myself...i Look Forward To Hearing What The Answers Are And I Will Share Them With You All...keep Posting If Anyone Thinks Of Anymore!!!!

Giveyouthemoon- Wow!!! That Is A Great List Of Questions..thanks I Will Have To Print That Out

congratulations...im so happy for you...keep us posted on your progress

You Know What The Worst Temptation Is?? Those Work Potlucks!! Not Only Does My Office Sit Directly Across From The Buffet Table But I Have To Listen As People "ooh And Aah" Over What Was Brought In...man!!! This Will Power Is Some Real Hard Work!!! And I Havent Even Had Surgery Yet!!!

No One Has Anything They Wished They Would've Asked???

I Havent Been Banded Yet But You Guys Truly Are An Inspiration And You Make My Days Seem Better, So I Know When I Need That Support After Being Banded I Can Come On Here And Get It

ive always hated it when people say " you carry your weight well"...i want to say back to them " yeah i love strapping a 150 pound person to me everyday and walking around on top of the weight i should be"

good luck and i will say a prayer for you

my opinion on soda is that is just gives you what i would call a quick fix....are you on a regular schedule as far as sleeping hours? have you had a sleep study performed? to rule out sleep apnea, etc. exercisizing will definitely increase your energy level even if it is walking for 30 minutes a day. depression can also cause fatigue...i would check with your doctor first and see what they say...hope you feel better

Congratulations...i Cant Wait To Give My Surgery Date..its So Exciting

I Have Been Approved For A Visit With The Surgeon. I Still Have To Take A $500 Educational Class That Tells You All About The Procedure, Risks, Diet, Etc And Then I Have To Get A Psych Evalution And Then I Can Have The Surgery If I Do All That And Pass!!

all my insurance company requested was that either by the doctors office or my own letter i show documentation of a diet/excercise plan that has been attempted. i didnt have any dates, i just stated that i had tried weight watchers twice and failed, atkins once and ended up in the er with a kidney stone, i belong to a gym..those types of things...the h&P's from the doctors office basically showed my weight documented and for example " i went to the dr once to talk about weight loss and he suggested a dietician"....they have to document what you go there for and what the recommendations were that were given

My Insurance Company Requested What Is Called An H&p (history And Physical) On Diet And Exercise Monitoring Or I Could Submit My Own Journal. I Just Sat Down On The Computer And Went Over Every Diet And Exercise Program I Have Tried. Then I Had My Doctor Submit Any H&p's They Had Relating To Weight Issues I Had Gone To The Doctor About. Every Time You See Your Doctor They Should Fill Out An H&p On You. The Adm. Assistant Needs To Give You Copies Of These Or Send Them In For You To The Insurance Company. Good Luck
