big dawg

Hi GIGI could you update me 4/21/08 big dawg I am 236 on 9/21/08 for a total of 80lbs. Thanks for your time you devote to this site. Tim

I was 243 on8/21/08 73lbs. I can't figure out how i did it last time. Thanks for putting in all your time. big dawg:thumbup:

I was nervous before i got there but then once I was there i knew I was doing the right thing. My wife said she knew it to because i was relaxed while I was laying there waiting. I got this feeling that whatever was to come I was at peace with because I couldn't keep going the way I was. L.I.J. was great to me and I had Dr Geiss. I started at 316 on 4/15/08 liquids and lost 11lbs by 4/21/08 my surgery date. As of today 5/22/08 I am at 278lbs or 38lbs and feel great. I start solid food on Sunday I can't wait. The time goes fast after so don't sweat it. Follow the diet as close as possible and you will be all right. Good luck to all that are approaching your date and come to terms with yourself and say am I going to be better off than I am now. Big Dawg in Lindy:thumbup:

I weighed in at 279 on 5/21/08 down 26lbs since surgery on 4/21 and down 37 since starting the liquid on 4/15. Starting weight was 316 I am now 279 can you believe it? This was what i needed. Good luck everyone.:rolleyes2:

If anyone figures out how to update the monthly tracker please let me know.:wink2:

I am sorry I tried to update and put in the wrong date. I had band on 4/21/2008 and lost 37lbs and am at 279. I tried to update the right date but it added me at the bottom of the list . thanks big dawg:thumbup:

Good luck I had mine on the 21st and I am down 11lbs from the liquid diet and 10lbs since the banding day. 21lbs all together and no problems so far I had mine done by Dr Geiss LIJ Syosett. My ticker isn't updated.:wub:

Trying a ticker to see if it works

I went to L.I.J. in NY it went great> I feel pretty good except I had a hernia done at the same time. I walked 3 miles 5 days later.:coolgleamA:

sorry iI put in my info and it came out on the bottom I hope you can fix it 4/21/2008 316/305 is the actual numbers again sorry:thumbup:

I got banded 4/21 by Dr Geiss. I lost 11 pounds the week before doing the liquid. Ready for the ride of my life so here we go.:rolleyes2::thumbup:

I did it had my band done on 4/21. Lost 11 pds on liquid the week before i started. Hope it goes that good from here on.:rolleyes2:

You have not been to the office or you have been seeing a pa? Have you had a fill?:confused:

How are you doing not having a fill in 6 mos. :biggrin:

I had my pre op seminar for lap band at LIJ today with Dr Geiss' nurse. Almost there, Monday is the big day. Seminar is mostly just a rehash of everything. Liquid diet stinks, but hey I got myself here and being fat stinks worse.

I am starting the pre op diet on Monday. Then I go the 21st have band and hernia done at the same time.:thumbup:

Ajoneen you are doing great 45lbs keep up the good work

I have not had my wls yet I am going in on the 21st of April. I will keep you updated.

Took about 6 weeks for OR day.

I have Empire and it took about a week after all the testing to get approval and then they called right away. No correct that my file got put in a drawer after testing so I lost about ten days. But 1 week after that. Keep checking your status.

I am also going on the 21st on Long Island. Don,t worry my doctor has done over 2000 and no mortality and only 1 open procedure. Good luck I will compare with you after the 21st. :tongue:
