Hey whats your name? I feel like such a punk cuz I don't know it! sorry! So this J. Minkon guy....never heard of him?! I never got a call from anyone at the hospital. I only talked with people at Dr. Monash's office. But it's great that they are calling you! So I am feeling wonderful! We went to the mall today just to walk around. While we were there I went to Jamba Juice and got a drink and added a shot of protein, it was good and I drank about 1/4 of a small. I haven't really gotten the feeling that I am full yet, but I don't wanna over do it and throw up! So I've been eating cream soups (campbells select-portobello mushroom, and butternut squash, both very yummy!) and I've had broth, jello, pudding, and of course my protein drinks. I still haven't felt naseaus or had gas. I have been sleeping great too! I can't wait for them to do your sleep study! It's getting close! Before you know it you'll be banded!

just wanted to say hi, and i hope that everything went well with your surgery!

just wanted to say hello! I am in tucson and and was reading a post and saw you. it's nice to meet others from this part of the world!!

how you doin?? hangin in there?? I went to the doc today, no fill today but in 2 weeks he's lettin me come back! wahoo!!

just wanted to say that you are a huge inspiration! your success is great! and you look fabulous!!

lol no worries! I like Dr. M. He seems like a good doc. I went to st.m's for my pre-admin today and the lady says that he's done tons of these surgeries and she really likes him. I am not 100 over my ideal either and I got approved no worries. I didn't really have to do any tests though. The only thing I had to have done was the pysch eval. So I'll keep my fingers crossed for ya! Keep me posted on how its going! I'll let ya know how surgery was when I get home! I'm so excited! I can't even wait!!

omg you sound just like me! only i am 5'3! Seeing what you look like makes me excited for the next few years! Although I seriously hope I can have the majority of it gone by my bandiversary. What's been the biggest challenge for you?

Hubby is based at Pax River in MD. Right now thats where he is doing training. I was there but came home around Aug of last year so I could have help with our son and the new baby. DH was gone about 16 hours everyday because of all the silly training they are putting him through and I couldn't take it! So right now we are living apart "voluntarily" but we just found out in Nov he'll be getting deployed for certain some place overseas which sucks! Totally not what we were expecting! He'll be coming home hopefully next month sometime and then I won't get to see him again until around Christmas and then he gets deployed. So he'll be coming home to a totally different wife!! Totally excited for that! I am happy to help in any way! Us military wives gotta stick together! I'm sure you could teach me somethings about military life, we've only been doing this for 2 years! This weekend is going to be painfully slow! The last 2 weeks went by soooo fast, and now the days seem to be dragging! loL! But I'll be sure to let ya know!

oh man. sorry. I'd still appeal if I were you. I've talked to a few people that went the the process and got approved, so don't give up!

I'm doin good. Had my first fill yesterday, wasn't bad at all. The eating part is gonna be different from now on though! Looking at 2oz of food and going, "thats all i can eat", makes your head go nuts! lol! but its amazing that you feel full after eating only 2oz.

Please keep me posted on whether or not you decide to appeal. Hang in there girl. big hugs!

i was just going through the hundreds of pages of before and after pics, and saw yours. you look totally awesome! keep up the hard work!!

hey I'm doin good! how are you holding up? i hope that everything is working out well for you!! I've been busy busy busy! It's vacation time here in AZ, so life is hectic!!

omg you look amazing! i just realized that you really are the lady at the top! omg how cool is that!!!

hey girl I'm doing good! I'm so happy that you are keeping up with your weight loss! good for you!!

hi there! thanks for the friend request! happy to have ya! if you have any questions i'd be happy to help you, just let me know.

hey brenda! i'm doing great! i had to weigh myself again today and now I'm down a total of 20 pounds!!! Thats including 5 pre-surgery. But man it feels great to have my pants fitting loosely! My incisions still hurt a bit but its totally beearable! Are you getting excited?

oh it was totally easy! one of the easiest things I've ever done really! if you want some help with codes and what not I can help you. What surgeon are you using?

ok so i was just reading your about me. your a hairstylist??? i went to beauty school and I'm almost finished. AND you scrapbook??? we HAVE got to meet! lol! seriously it's so hard to find people here that scrap!

Hey Brenda! I hope the sleep study is going well!! Tell me how it went chick!!

hey girl! i'm doin great! things with my band have been way awesome!! your new pic is wonderful!!! glad you saw my myspace! i havent been on here to update in forever! eek. I'm down 83 pounds as of today, so I really can not complain a single bit. So tell me whats goin on with you.

I got to start mushies today!!! Which is SUPER exciting! It's hard to stick with the liquids but the campbells select soups really hit the spot. Plus I made egg drop soup and that was yummo too! It feels great!!! I can't believe how great it's going. I'm sure that before my first fill I'm gonna end up in bandster h*ll but for now it's exciting as ever! I can't wait to see what happens when I start working out! That'll be exciting!

wowsers I'd be a bit nervous too! I didn't get any staples just glued up! Glad you are feeling better! I hope that you are back to normal soon! How long are you on liquids?

hooray!!!! congrats Teresa!! Thats darn exciting! I bet you are totally stoked! Before you know it you'll be having surgery! It goes by quicker than you think!!!

hey how's it goin?? any word yet?

well glad that you slept well!! lol! I'm on to full on foods now and it sucks! I def understand why they call this bandster hell! This takes more will power than ever and I seriously don't have much of that! But I have done well. Still losing. I ate pizza 2 days ago and didn't see a loss that day but worked out 2x as long, so I think I evened it out. Went to the commissary today and got lots of veggies and healthy stuff to make it easier for me! I go to the doc on wed so hopefully he'll agree to give me a fill. It stinks that you have to wait a week!

hey,

so sorry! call tricare and find out what happened. Esp since the sleep study results aren't even back yet. Don't give up! Def. appeal. I know it's gonna be alot of work, but if you need help let me know!
