Dr. Snow is a good guy. My banding went just fine. I am sure you will be pleased. He uses the newer band also.

Kacee, glad you enjoyed. Nothing like a prime cut of meat. Now we can take focus off quantity and we can increase quality. Whenever I do start to eat again I plan to focus on quality foods. May cost more but now I need a lot less.

I to had mine done on the 6th. I am getting the shoulder pain but keeping a pad on it. I am a little sore but not much. I feel wierd, not sure when I am hungry or not. Haven't relly eaten much. Just glad it is done.

I got the new band yesterday, 12/06/07. Heard it is much better.

Well folks, it is done!!!!! All went well, I also got the new band. Just resting at home now. Some shoulder and upper abdominal discomfort but I'll live. Was real groogy after I came home. Today I am much better. I can't believe after so many years of trying I finally got it done. :clap2::clap2::clap2::clap2:

Hi DFW, I am getting banded 12/06/07 at Southwest Surgical Center in Hurst by Dr Robert Snow. Doing fine on the liquid diet. occasional hunger but nothing bad. I guess I am so hyped to get the band I already don't care about eating. (hmmm, there goes that mental part!) :ranger:

Cheers to you Lachica! I am on the 6th in Hurst. Dr. Robert Snow. Go DFW!

I am in the middle of my 5 day liquid pre-op now and I got this! My date is Dec 6th. I am super ready!!!! I may have to treat myself and go see dem Boys in the playoffs!!!! :whoo::clap2:

Awesome Chat Kat. Maybe you can do some surfing out there in Cali. Sun and sand will be much more fun when you are lighter on your feet. Good luck.

Lana24, I see you already have a good start at 8lbs. I am sure you will do great. Stay tuned!

Yeah, a real steak goes down like butter not like a Wal-Mart rubber steak!!!!

Wow, so this shows we are not alone. We have all been through it. I have flown 10+ plus hurs serveral times in the past fews years. Not fun. I always ask for the table, no booth. I always make a careful assesment of the cars before I sit in them. (the nerve of Starbucks having such small patio chairs and all they serve is sugar!) I nerver go to football or basketball games anymore because staduim seats so small. I never been stuck in an airplane restroom but I have sure felt uncomfortable in them. Mona, you and all the others here rocks. We are winning the battle!!!!! :whoo:

Thanks for your support to all of you. I look at the weight lost by many of you and I am excited. I made it through my first day yesterday of the liquid diet and what do you know, I didn't go crazy or anything. Would be pretty sad if I couldn't make it through one day!! Today I woke up and was not really hungry like I thought I would be. Blending a can of Soup is just wrong! I don't even have to say what it looks like. But the thought of losing this fat is like adrenalin pushing me on.
