  1. I took two weeks off of work and I was glad I was able to. It gave my body a chance to heal and get my strength back. I hope you are able to get some rest soon. Take care of yourself. I got off the pain meds and onto Tylenol also.

    fill procedure

    I've had two fills now. The first hurt just a little going in, kinda of like giving blood, then I just felt pressure. The second one I didn't feel a thing. They should check your stomach before hand, mine felt around with her fingers first to make sure she was on the port. It will be ok..

  5. I'm anxiously awaiting my first fill tomorrow. My appetite has been ravenous. I'm ready for the green zone.
  6. I seem to be in bandster hell right now. I was banded on 8/5 and my first fill is tomorrow Lately I've been starving and trying like hell not to over eat or wolf down my food. I know this is a practice run for when I hit my green zone, I just hope I don't gain weight back right now. eek.

      The clinic rescheduled my surgery to the 5th. So I started my pre-op diet today. I'm looking forward to getting it done. Haven't got nervous yet. I'm just reading the book they gave me and praying for a safe surgery w/much weight loss success. Good luck on the 4th. Let me know how it goes.

    Depression

    I too suffer from depression, I have for most of my adult life. I finally sought out medical help when I reached my rock bottom. Then it took several years to find the right meds and doses that benefit me most. My suggestion to you is to seek professional help. There is no reason to suffer. Find a psychiatrist (they can write prescriptions) and tell them your feelings. Please get help. We all here for you and can help support you during your weight loss surgery and beyond. I plan on continuing to take my medication before, during and after my WLS. I wouldn't be caught without it. It's been a life saver for me and I mean that literally. There is help out there. Don't give up. You can have a better life.

    I broke myself y'all

    so sorry to hear that. that happened to me once, I was all dressed up and trucking across a busy intersection downtown, just left an interview and twisted my ankle and went down hard. scraped my knee pretty bad. one person got out of his car to make sure I was ok. I was ok, but humiliated. I think I was pretty chunky then too. maybe you can run on the treadmill or ride the bike while your hand heals. good luck.

    Hi I'm a newbie

    Hi kyrickchick64. I too am ready for a change. my surgery date is 8/4 and I can hardly wait. I've been overweight my entire adult life and feel it's time for me to have a good life. I deserve it. I'm 56 and don't feel like it's too late. it's only too late if you never do it! good luck!!
  17. Such a pretty girl! Congrats on the weight loss!!
  18. Good for you. Better late than never. Plus you're still so young! Congrats on your weight loss.

    What's the story behind your profile name?

    My name is based on a time in my life that I was going thru a divorce. I was the one who had done wrong and took the name gbb77901 to stand for Girl Been Bad and my zip code at the time. My hooker/drag name would be Smoky Pollard. Rock on

    I wish I had known...

    Hi blacktxbelle, you and I have the same doctor! My surgery is August 4th. I come to this site every day reading everything I can about my upcoming LapBand. This site has been such a help to let me know what life will be like once I get to the other side.
  22. glad I found this topic. I'm being banded by Dr. Esquivel in August. I'm so excited.
