Hello--- I'm soon to be 50 and I am hoping to get my band in Oct. sometime. I am currently doing the supervised Dr. visits then I will be ready to go. To those that have their bands, do you like it? Was it difficult to get through the first month? After your first fill was there a significant change? Are there any foods that you can't eat??? What about wine? I know, lots of questions... :thumbup:

I've been reading the Sisterchicks series by Robin Jones Gunn. There are 6 in the series and they are a lot of fun as well as inspirational.

GOOD MORNING!!!! It's been a crazy week. I had my 1st Dr. supervised wl appt. and so now I just have 3 more to go. WOO HOO!!!!! I also had my psychological clearance and my 1st nutritional consultation, just one more of those to go. YIPPEE!!!! The list is getting shorter. Now I need my cardiology clearance my PFT ( I get it on Mon), Lab work and then the approval from insurance. I CAN'T WAIT!! :thumbup: Everyone have a TERRIFIC day!!!!:wub:

Hello! I'm new to the boards and I'm so glad I found a Christian board. I am just in the process of getting approved by my Insurance. I have 3 more months of Dr supervised visits then hopefully I will get the go ahead. I hope y'all don't mind me joining with you.

Well, my arms are flapping and I haven't started losing yet. Saturday my husband and I were on a motorcycle ride and I happened to look it the rearview mirror and I saw my arms just a flappin in the breeze. YIKES!!!! I wasn't a pretty site. :w00t: LOL I went for my first Dr. supervised weightloss visit today. YIPPEE!!!! Just 3 more to go. I go for the psychology clearance and first nutrition consultation tomorrow. So, things are moving right along. I'M READY NOW!!!!!!!!

I will check into it. I know that my Dr. is aware of how hard I have tried to lose the weight. So, we will see. Thank you all for the information. I'm sure there will be more questions as I continue on.

Hello! Do y'all mind if I join in here? I am just in the process of the banding. For insurance to pay I need to go through a Dr. supervised weightloss program for 4 months. I guess the 7 YEARS of weight watchers doesn't count for anything. :wink2: So, I'm hoping that I will get my band in Oct or Nov. I do have one question....What is PBing? :confused_smile:Please help this embarassed newbie. :tt2: I look forward to getting to know all of you better and learning from all of you. Have a BLESSED day!

Hang in there!!!! WE CAN DO THIS!!!!!

Joy, I haven't started yet. I plan on a consultation with my Dr. this week.

Okay, I'm a newbie here and I'm trying to learn as much as I can. What is a PB? Thanks for the help.

4-27-08 Here I am starting this exciting journey. I have so much to learn, but I'm ready and willing. It's the fact that when I get my band I will be healthy again. I thank God that He has given surgeons the widsom of how to do this surgery to help so many people. I pray that I will have the will power to use this new tool to help me in every way. I look forward to the day that the yo yo stops going up and down. WOO HOO!!!!
