So I just had my phone consult with my doctor today. He went over everything, most of it I already knew, but it was a good refresher course. I will be starting my pre-op diet on July 6th so the 4th will be my last big food holiday. I really don't think I'll miss it that much. Anyway, that is the update with me. oh, I also am going to buy a pregnancy test. I had a really weird period last month and it lasted 10 days. Counting from the first day of my last period I am about 5 days late. I don't think I am pregnant, but better safe than sorry right? :cool:

I am having my phone consult with my Doctor tomorrow and am looking for questions that I should ask, but can't think of. I am pretty stressed. I have started a list but am at a dead end in my brain right now. :thumbs_up: Any help would be greatly appreciated!!! Thanks!!

Questions you wish you would have asked

I'm doing good. Just getting excited and nervous. I am glad to be speaking to him tomorrow. I also talk with the nutritionist on Monday. I am kind of having a low moment right now, and am hoping to get out of this funk soon. I just feel like I need to be very thorough when I talk to Dr.Kirshenbaum:sad: -

DH means dear, or darling Husband -
This is so cool!!! I love that we have a little place for ourselves!! :thumbup::smile::biggrin2::tongue2:

I am surprised though that they didn't just make it a sub category under Christian Bandsters.

Just thought we could start a thread for the people who don't know what everyones abbreviations are, like me!!! PCP-Primary Care Physician PB'ing-Productive Burping ????DH-Dear Husband???? no clue! lol

I was very excited to see an LDS thread. Well, I'm pretty new, getting banded next month. I am self pay (well my parents are paying) and getting banded in Denver with Dr. Kirshenbaum. Anyway, I live in Salt Lake City, but have also lived several of the places mentioned by others on this thread. I have lived in Cali, AZ, MO, Nauvoo, and UT. Kinda all over. But my hubby and I are planning on staying in Salt Lake City forever!! So... I just wanted to introduce myself and say HI!!!

I want to fit in the chairs at the dollar movie theater and not be pinched the whole movie. I want to be able to cross my legs. I want to eat out and not feel like everyone is thinking "she shouldn't be eating at all". I want to have children. I want to go shopping at the grocery store and not feel like I'm being judged. I want to buy clothes in "normal" sizes. I want to stop wearing reducer bras. I want to feel comfortable in my own bathtub. I want to go to reunions with friends and shock them all by how good I look. I don't want to fake buckling up because the seatbelt is too small for me. I want to feel sexy I want to actually look good in a stylish swimsuit. I want to wear heels without my feet wanting to fall off. I WANT TO BE HEALTHY!!!!!!!!! -
I think I'm addicted to this site!
lotzasunshine replied to auntlucy's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I'm not even going to be banded for a month and I am already addicted!!! I am on the computer a dozen times a day reading blogs and seeing the new posts. I think I'm hopeless since I am so early on!! :) -
Ditto. Doesn't he do the first fill at 4 weeks? I heard that he does it because he know that it is the hardest week for new bandsters.
-
No way! I live like a block away from Westminster. Literally. I hope that the fill thing works out for you, and me
-
I'm glad you had a good experience. I am excited to talk to him on the 12th. I am going to the community college. I am currently majoring in music, but might change once I go to the U. I'm a little worried about the two week diet. I can do it but too much meat and stuff grosses me out. I was kinda forced to do the atkins thing for a week when I was visiting family and thats what they were eating. I was really sick of meat by the end of it. And I really like meat
Your surgery is on the 2nd right? I am going to see a new doctor today and let her know that I am getting banded. I know she might try to talk me out of it, but I'm not going to stop now. I just figured that even though my insurance won't pay for it that I should have a doctor here watching me. What did he say about fills by the way? Did he suggest FillcenterUSA? I looked into them and the cost and almost think it would be cheaper to drive or something. It's like $185 per fill, and I heard one post say that they only fill .5cc at a time. That would take forever to get restriction. -
Call your doc now!!! The pangs may be nothing, but it may be something, and better safe then sorry!!!! About your binge eating, from what I have heard it may take a while to get the proper restriction. Don't give up yet, go outside and take a walk at a park, or put on some of your favorite music and dance by yourself, something to make you feel good! Good luck!! Our prayers are with you!!! :cursing:
-
Good luck, it's the waiting thing that gets us isn't it?

When do they come out normally?
lotzasunshine replied to lotzasunshine's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I appreciate the replies. I thought it would be sad if I spent so much time and money to just have it out in 2-5 years. Thanks again!! -
Surgery cancelled as I lay on the bed!

Don't stop now!!! It may cost a little more, and your husband is probably just worried. You have come this far, you can get through it!!! Don't let this set-back stop you!!!
