    Seventy or more????

    Hi Mary, Was you op. successful before? They have improved and are continually coming up with new things. This was much more simple than I realized and as i said I had no problems. I am just not loosing as fast as I thought I would and as quickly. But I am patient and will see how this next fill goest. My Dr. said it takes time and that every patient is different. As I said I am more excited about getting the diabetes under control and getting of the medication but the weight loss will be a joy. Where are You? I am in Dallas, Texas and I really like my Dr. he's done a gazillion procedures and I'm impressed with his knowledge and his experience. As I said if I can help in any way let me know. I am here and will do whatever I can. Best of wishes and God bless. Jan

    Hi Mary, Things are going well for me. As for weight loss I have lost 10 pounds and I am up for another fill Monday. I am hoping this will be the "sweet spot" they talk about and will kick me into more loss. I feel good and the surgery was a snap. No problems at all - the first night just some pressure but by the morning I was fine. I think it is one of the best things I have done although I am not loosing #'s quickly what has come off has stayed off. I am looking forward to getting off diabetes medication and high blook pressure medication and the weight will be a side benefit. I hope you find what you need and if I can be of any help let me know. I am new to this but very enouraged. Jan

    Thinking about lap band

    Hi Kathy, I was outpatient. I went in at 7:00AM and was home about 4:00PM. And a lot of the wait was for X-ray- they were so busy I had to wait but that was what took so much time. I feel great! Again, today, I ate some cottage cheese and was not hungry. I just drank a slim-fast and feel so satisfied. I am almost in tears thinking that this is REALLY, REALLY going to work. But then I am only two days in but I feel very hopeful and encouraged. Thanks for the encouragement Kathy. I appreciate it. Love and Light, Jan

    Thinking about lap band

    Hi Everybody, I had my lap band surgery yesterday and I am doing great! I'm a little sore but that's to be expected. I was so excited today because I ate a little cottage cheese and was full and didn't want/need to eat anymore. And I have NOT been hungry! That is the most amazing feeling, not to be hungry. I hope everybody is doing well and thanks for the support and encouragement. Love and Light, Jan

    Hi Everyone, I am scheduled for my surgery May 13th. I will be 75 August 16th. I am excited! About surgery and being 75! I would love support and any encouragement you might give. I feel so right about this and that this is the tool I have been looking for. I am so looking forward to getting off diabetes medicine, high blood pressure medicine and high cholesterole medicine. I think that will be such an improvement in my health that the weight loss will be icing on the cake - whoops! scratch that. Thanks for all the postings you have already done. I live in Dallas, Texas. Love and Light, Jan
  8. I am scheduled for surgery May 13th. I will be 75 August 16th. I love my life. It is better than ever. I gained weight when I was put on some medicine and haven't been able to get it off. I have tried every diet under the sun, would lose a few pounds, gain it back and so it goes. I have a little apprehension but after several surgeries of more danger I am confident this will be the tool I have been looking for. I look forward to dispensing with diabetes medicine, high blood pressure medicine and high cholesterole medicine. And to have less hips and tummy will be the icing on the cake - whoops! scratch that off. So please keep me in your good thoughts and/or prayers. I am not looking to be 21 (wouldn't want to be even if it were possible) just healthier because I intend to celebrate my 100th birthday. Oh, btw, I am going para-gliding on my 75th! Thanks for all the opinions and discussions. Jan
