Gee...That's kinda scary! :biggrin:

Hi Hazel! Good luck with the liquid diet and surgery. Keep us posted on your progress!

That's so great! I'm glad you are doing well. I was looking at your ticker and noticed we are starting at about the same weight (1 pound difference lol) and I am assuming you are probably about my same height since our starting BMI is the same too. I am interested in seeing how you progress in your weightloss so I might have an idea of what to expect. I won't be banded until June, as long as insurance goes ok. So I'm going to be watching you...:biggrin: Gee...I sound like a stalker!:tongue:

Good luck to all of you! And when you feel your strength failing, just remember support is only a click away!

Hi Tilley! Congratulations on your band. The weight loss looks like it's going great! Keep it up and welcome to LBT!

Wow Calondra! You are really doing awesome! Congratulations and good luck!

Congratulations Chelsey! How are you doing?

Purge?? EWWWW!!!!! I thought getting the band was the easy way to lose weight and all I had to do was sit back and get skinny. You mean I actually have to do WORK??? I didn't sign on for that!! Maybe if I just get another fill I won't be able to keep anything down. Then I should be able to reach size 4 in 6 months, don't you think? :biggrin: :thumbup:

I would think fast would be better. Good luck!

It looks like they would have known to start your pre-op diet when you first started the pre-op stuff. Sorry you are having to deal with all of the frustrations. It will be worth it in the end though! Good luck!!

Thanks for the advice Marisa. I am REALLY hoping I don't have to do this!

Be careful and don't overdo it. Baby steps are good sometimes.

You go girl!! Did he notice?

Um...how many times a day do I have to puke to go from a size 26 to a size 4 in 6 months?

Glad everything went well for you! How are you feeling?

I saw his thread, but just ran across this to even know what everyone was talking about e-bay on the other. I really do feel for the guy. If it weren't for DH's insurance, I know I couldn't afford surgery.

Hope that cold disappears quickly!! Good luck Monday!

I was wondering if you would have to do this before surgery. My surgeon hasn't said yet, so interested in seeing the answers.

Congratulations!! The 2 weeks will be over before you know it and you will beon your way! Good luck!

Hi and welcome to LBT! Good luck to all of you!!

Hi Meredith! Welcome to LBT. Good luck and keep us posted on your progress!

Congratulations and good luck! Keep us posted on your progress.

Hi Lisa! I completely understand what you are saying and you are right, anyone who hasn't been where we are just has no idea what we go through. Good luck to you!

Hi and welcome to LBT! Congratulations on getting your band and good luck!! Here is a thread with ticker help too: http://lapbandtalk.com/showthread.php?t=16218

Hi Kelly! I was considering LMC, but opted for Baptist because it is a little closer to home and I was familiar with one of the doctors there. Congratulations and good luck!
