I have always wanted one of those swings, but have been afraid the ceiling wouldn't hold me! That won't be the case much longer though. Sounds like I better start saving my money!

One of our favorite things to do when we go out of town is to find a new sex shop and buy some new toys to try out. Sometimes for me, sometimes for him, sometimes for both. My favorite thing to do when I am trying to shock the man I am with has always been to tie their hands to the headboard or bed frame, preventing them from touching me, and then to tease them using...um, various means (oral, feathers, etc.) until they can't stand it anymore. Always makes them quite aggressive (which I like) when I untie them and leads to LOADS of fun.

Hi and welcome to LBT! My surgery date is not until 6/18, but I immersed myself here as soon as I started considering surgery and learned all that I could while going through all of my testing and waiting. You can never know too much when it comes to something you are planning to do to your body! Take care and good luck!

I have seen people post they lose quite a bit of weight during that phase. I kinda wish I had an all liquid diet for pre-op to jump start my weight loss, but my surgeon only requires high Protein, low carb. I might take it a little more liquid than that though. Good luck!

So how did it go today?

So...did you get that surgery date today???

It's amazing how wonderful a little innocent flirtation can make you feel isn't it?

I haven't lost even 1 pound!! Hopefully that will change after my surgery on 6/18 and I'll still have time to meet my goal!

Congratulations!! Wishing you the best!!

Hi and welcome to LBT! Good luck!

Hi and welcome to LBT! The waiting is the hardest part. Use this time to do some research here on the forum and learn all you can. Your approval WILL come!!

Ok, it's official...June 18th for me!!! YIPPEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good for you! Keep up the good work!

I would definitely go see the surgeon about that port. At least you know it's not likely infected with all the antibiotics you're already taking. Better to be safe than sorry, especially if you already aren't happy with it. Haven't you already talked to him about it and he expressed dissatisfaction too?

I am waiting on the call with my date! I told the nurse I didn't want surgery until around the 15th because I work in a school and we aren't out until the 6th, then my son's 18th birthday is the 10th, so didn't want to be laid up for that. You are only about 2 weeks away from yours. Are you havign to do any pre-op diet?

Jan, Glad surgery went so well for you. Were you outpatient or did you stay overnight? How are you feeling today?

I am still pre-op, so I don't know if fills hurt. I have read that doctors do suggest you go back on liquids for a few days following fills, then back to mushies and then solids, just like post-op. Check with your doctor at the time of your fill and see what he says.

Congratulations on your decisions to get banded! I hope surgery goes well for you Monday. Post and let us know how you are doing as soon as you feel up to it.

Hi and welcome to LBT. Happy Birthday!!! Good luck getting your approval.

Congratulations on the 50 pounds!!! Great job!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I believe it was posted previously that the conference was in Dallas.

Congratulations on your approval!! I am so happy for you!!!!!!!!! :thumbdown: Be sure to let us know when they set your date.

Hi Leigh! Welcome to LBT! How did you like the Emotional First Aid Kit book? I considered ordering that one, but my surgeon's office recommended a couple of others, so I bought them instead. Your surgery date is coming fast. Good luck!

Hi Nancy and welcome to LBT! Congratulations on your band. Sounds like you are doing great!
