  1. Happy 53rd Birthday R Ellie!

  2. I was banded May22 I have lost 49 lbs. I'm having trouble with what the Dr is calling mucus in my pouch. Have you had and experience with that. If I don't drink something hot before I eat, everything comes up with all this mucus (snot). I wonder if I could take an allergy pill to dry it up. I'm going to ask at the next Dr visit. I have also had 3 fills and other than the mucus I feel great.

    Banded - May 20th!!

    Hey girl, I got banded Thursday the 22nd. My doctor is Wellborn in Little Rock Arkansas. I went home same day. I have had great care from the husband. I'm having a little trouble getting all the fluids down. I have had to write everything down. No trouble with the gas. The MOM too care of that. I have a goal set to lose 140 lbs. I hope by this time next year I will be there or real close. Good Luck R. Ellie
  4. If I can tell you anything...This is not a race!!! Take each day as it come and learn from it. This is a process the changes who you are and the side effect is how you look outside.

  5. I enjoyed seeing the changes and you look so happy. I'm scheduled May 22. I can hardly wait. Thank you for sharing what has happened to you. If you have any suggestions please pass them on to me. I am a private pay in Arkansas at the Wellborn clinic in Little Rock. I start the pre diet May 8. I hope I do as well as you have.

    Any May Bandsters?

    I'm scheduled for surgery May 22 in Little Rock, Arkansas Wellborn Clinic. Anyone else from Arkansas? I start my pre op diet on Thursday. Will Slim fast work as well as the protein drinks or do I need to go to the health food store and shop? Can't wait 16 days to go.

    Thanks for the letter. That will be very useful for the family. I'm a self pay and my surgery is scheduled May 22. I start my liquid program 5/8. I am ready. Good luck everyone! We can do this for our futures.
  8. Hi, I'm new to the forum. I'm scheduled for surgery May 22. I start my liquids on Thursday. I'm not looking forward to them. I love to cook and eat what I cook. I am a self pay from Arkansas. Surgery in Little Rock. I'm going to need all the help I can get, but I really do want to lose the weight.
