Whats a bikini ???I have to have one so order me one too????

I too will be taking Lovenox. I goofed up reading the info and started to take them before.. I took two and my surgery is the 19th ..Sure hope I will be ok .. I was so nervous at the pre op and they told me so much and to get my meds ASAO. So I read it wrong.. Sarah will this hurt the surgery ? I have stopped and it will be a week before I have the procedure done ..Oh and the shots don't hurt at all ... GEEEZZZZ .. I am getting too nervous I think

Thank-you so much for the info ..It really helps .I will be going May 19th..So excited but still have my worries .I have to do this as we all do or we wouldn't be here .. You take care and before you know it all the aches and pains will be gone .:thumbup:

I am on the 19th also and can't wait ..Is anyone having to give themseves the shots each day so we won't get blood clots. Can't figure out the ticker but I will (I hope) We are getting there !!! So excited.

WOW I am behind in my reading and some of these Mayzies have already been banded and some today ..(May 8th) I am so happy for everyone .. Can't wait to know everyone is OK and on to the new life .. May 19th here and nervous and so excited it is all I can talk about ... So glad you are all out there

This is wonderful to hear how you all are doing and what to expect . Yes Egank I was getting nervous and will totally think postive and nothing else .These posts are helping so much .. It is great to hear each day you are doing better .. Try the Gas X strips they say it really helps.. I can't even imagine not being hungry ...AWESOME.. Big day here May 19th .. Thank-you so much for in the input and CONGRATULATIONS You did it ... On to great things .

I wanna be a shrinko demayo flower too so please count me in .. My big day is officially May 19th .. I can't wait ... I love being in May .. Best group ever ....

No smack here.. I think with all you have gone through you are doing just fine ... Maybe go buy some fruit or something to carry with you or the protien shakes when you are hungry .. You take this one day at a time .. It will all work out you wait and see ... Keep trying and I hate it about your home ... Yesterday is done so tomorrow do better even if it is baby steps ...

OK we have the best bunch of bandits ever..So happy to hear everyone is doing so well .. I get so excited with each new entry ... May is a great month for us ..Take care and let yourself mend well .One day maybe we will all meet up somewhere and tell our life stories .Before and after.. So happy for us all ..

Can't make it on the 21st but will join you on the 26th in band land . God speed and thumbs up

Been there done that.. Hang in there .. and Tricare is fast once it is submitted ..I agree the people have no idea the importance we put into this ..All the hoops we have to jump then have to wait for people on their time .. My approval was done in two days.. So you are closer than you think...

OH I had to check to see how everyone was. I almost had the chills ..Eveyrone so close and some already banded. It is wonderful and so glad we have each other. My prayers and thoughts totally with you all ..Post as soon as you can from the other side ..

OH Mama don't you dare get discouraged ..50 lbs is absolutely wonderful .. We have all learned people can be so mean and as for your Mother in law (what a piece of you know what) I have one of those too .Don't dare let her have control of your feelings ..You take control.. You are doing awesome and 50 lbs you should be so proud.. Keep going and forgive but it is so hard to forget ..Make them give you more strength and be so greatful you don't have to live with them .. You have us all here and we totally know how you feel .. Donuts won't help but for the moment but the road you are on is going to get even better .. Those babies are what counts and you and your husband the rest well let it go ... So so proud of you and take it one day at a time and no more ...

I am sooooooooo happy for you Kathy .. You made it and now the fun stuff ... I too got approved and go to my pre op Wednesday.. So excited .. I read the posts everyday and it is wonderful we have so many we can reach out to ... Congratulations on a brand new beginning .. I too am a Kathy

I do know that TriCare Prime does cover lap band procedure as I just had mine approved and am having the surgery the end of the month. A new law was passed and Tricare approves both Lap band and Bypass .. Best to call the tricare office and find out what is covered ...This new law was passed Feb 08..

Happy Happy Cinco Day .... WOOT WOOT..You will both be in my prayers and keep us posted ... I am so excited for you ...TOMorow TOMOrrow you'll be banded tomorrow.It is only a day a way..(Sing it like you mean it))

WOW this is exciting. Looks like we are all on the same page here. I will be gettin my pre op this week and then my surgery date . Hopefully for the end of the month. So afraid of the slippage problem but so excited I can't wait .. You all will be in my prayers and this is going to be a brand new beginning for us ... WOOT WOOT

Hi there BJ,, It sounds like you would qualify for the lap band. I just got apporved from TirCare West. Your civilian Dr is the one who can really get you going not the military clinic... The Dr can refer you then the bariatric surgeous will run you through a barrage of tests that will confirm if you qualify or not.. It really does sound like you have sleep apnea and they will test you for that also.. Tricare will pay for all the testing .Also with a caridiologist too ... You have to try and I think you will be pleasantly surprised. Oh and once they send in the info Tricare is very fast at approval ..So get out there and give it all you got and we will be waiting to see how you do .....

Allison you have me renewed again.. I get my band the 26th of May .. I was getting a little worried and excited and all in between .. When you said you were cleaning your room .I thought YES YES ..Out with the old and only the new will do ... You have the best attitude .. Keep us posted .. Our new way of life is going to be the absolute best ... Start making lists .I have a million of them everywhere.. Oh and don't forget GAS X strips to your list .. We are all so blessed to have this band to help us ... I can't even begin to imagine yet ... When my Dr said he wouldn't let me go below 128.. I laughed to myself and thought is he talking to me???? WOW... Happy Friday everyone !!!!!!!!!!!!!!:party:

OH this site is great for info..I was doing the good-bye to food thing and going to stop it right now .My surgery is the 26th of May and that is exactly what I was doing. I am not on the liguids yet.. I needed that slap ... I am so excited I can't wait ...:party:

It really helps to know everyone has the same excitement and fears . I too am worried I will over eat and this helps so much that the feeling will be gone .That is what I want the band to help me with.. This is all so helpful .Surgery here will be 26 th of May and go to my preop next week.. Never thought I would ever get to say that.. We can do this :thumbup:
