Yeah, so happy to still have Dr. V on board. (hopefully). Hello Ladies - all is well with me, I'm still sore and can't wait to get these staples out on 10/12. Dianne glad to hear you are doing so well. Melissa 5 more days to go, girl are you still jumping for joy? Take care

I'm going to ditto the comments from Diva & Rorysmom. I think if you follow the band rules you can lose. Check me out in 9 months. Take care and good luck with your research.

Congrats Anne - Can't wait to have you on the other side. Take Care

Yes very weird - poor Katie & baby is right. I heard on the View this morning that during childbirth, katie is not allow to make a sound. Now this is something I have to see.

Welcome to LBT & luck on your upcoming surgery. You'll do just fine. Let us know how you're doing. Take care.

Welcome Tricia - and congrats on your recovery and weight loss. I was just banded on 9/30 and hope to do as well as you. Keep it up and keep posting. Take care. P.S. Oh yeah - It took me forever to get my ticker on until I received some help from my lBT buddy (the best me).

Hello Ladies - I'm a little late reading this thread. Count me out this one and have a great time. Give Paula & family my blessings and a safe journey back to LA. Will see everyone in Nov. Take care. Chao

Hey Angie, welcome back - Dianne and I are doing just fine. Melissa's date I believe is 10/13. Excited for her and wish her well. Take care

I'm so happy I ran across this thread, I just had my surgery on 9/30 and I'm so hungry and know I'm not getting enough Protein let alone food. I can't eat much before I feel a plug in my throat. Horrible feeling. Thanks again and good luck ladies. P.S. I hope alcohol is not gone forever...

Margo - Congrats to you girl. I just entered bandland on 9/30 and hope to see those NSV days too. Again whoo hoo to you.

Hello Ladies, I back. All is well, I feel a little sore and sleepy after I take my medication. I was released around 7 pm yesterday. Overall, a good experience with the exception of the night staff. Once my daughter called and spoke with someone, they were acting like they were very attentive.(they said in error my meds were cut off.) sure. The next day was a good day. The Bararum test went well. Didn't get to see Dr. V. - was wondering if he was allowed to see me in the hospital. Dianne glad to hear you're doing okay too. Talk to you guys later.

Hey Dianne - glad you're home. Going thru something right now (like fright). Feeling weak today for some reason. I think I'll be in deep thought for awhile unitil my surgery. Thanks again for everyones well wishes. See you on the other side.

Hello everyone, I spoke with Dianne this evening and she is doing well and in good spirit her second night stay. She sound much better too without all the drugs in her. She's amazed at the amount of food it takes to get her full. I'm getting a little nervious. I'm going back and forth thinking maybe I can do it on my own because I lost 10lbs so far. But that was short lived when I remembered I can't control my portion size on my own. So Friday it is - can't come soon enough for me. Thanks for all the well wishes.

:Bunny Spoke with Dianne and she's doing just fine. Came thru the surgery with flying colors. She was being a real trooper this evening and gave me a blow by blow on her experience. Told me have no fear on Friday. She was thinking she might want to stay an extra night - at least that's how she's feeling right now. She wants you guys to know she OKAY:). Take care everyone, if I get anymore info I will share. Bye for now.

Karen hang in there, your time is near and approval is even closer. Take care.

I'm with everyone else Margo, don't beat yourself up. With the band, it's easier to get back on track. You can do it! I get banded on 9/30/05 and had a last meal on Friday & Saturday. Take care

Congrats Ladies - keep it up.

Congrats Jen, Friday 9/30 is day and I will join you. I too was told that showers are okay but no baths. Happy Healing - Take care.

Hello Ladies - I want to ditto that - I had a great time with you guys. It's really nice and relaxing being able to talk about our experiences.
