Congrats on your surgery going well!! I too had mine the 14th. I have to say I am miserable. Between the gas pain and being so tired, I'm probably not the nicest person to be around. Well glad to hear your doing well. Keep up the goos work.

Hi all... My name is Jennifer and I live in Western Massachusetts. I'm a fulltime nursing student, and waitress, and apart time personal care attendent for a little boy with autism. With all my running around I should be stick thin...lol I have basically been big since the age of 7. After my brother was killed in a car accident Sept. 2007 , things kinda spiraled from there. I finally decided that the lap band was for me in june and I have never looked back. My surgery is this friday November 14..... Good luck to all!!!!!:laugh:

Hey Cali, Thanks for the support, I can definitely use it!!!!! Good luck to you as well with your rotations. hope all is well.:laugh:

I also think this is a great forum for this site. It is important to get the opinions and ideas of many different kind of people, and in the different stages of life. I am currently a junior at American International College in Springfield, MA . My major is nursing. I will be banded this friday 11/14/08. SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO nervous!!!!:rolleyes2: Hi to all.

awesome !!! keep up the good work!

mine took about two weeks . The RN looked at it several different times before I had a decision. It's probably different with each insurance , I have federal blue cross blue shield. Good luck hun.:tongue2:

way to go!!!!!

My surgery is scheduled for November 14!:biggrin:

I'm very surprised that they never told you about this before your surgery. They recommend gas-x strips for post op.I hope that helps. Good luck hun.

I actually use a men's razor. Mach 3 I believe. I am highly allergic to shaving cream so I have tried everything as well. What seems to work the best for me is called coochy cream it is a shaving cream from athenas home novelties. It's the best.

Hey hun, I'm sure right now everything seems overwhelming. This whole process is a life change. you are now physically forced to give up something that you have depended on for so long, it's scary , but you will make it. You definitely want to make sure you are getting your protein in though, it will help with the hunger. Without enough protein you will not lose weight, and thats something you don't want to happen. give this some time to run it's course before you totally give up. Keep your head up and good luck.:smile2:

I'm so excited!!!!! I got my date today..... September 18!!!!:biggrin: The only problem is I will be in school during this time and hoping to only miss a couple of days! But this is defintely worth it. Anyone else in Sept?

September 18!!!!!!:biggrin:

Thanks for the support guys! I know I can definielty use it. Let me know how you both r doing.

good luck to both of you.:tt2:

I dunno...lolo The funny thing is some of the people working in the office had the surgery too.lol

I feel exactly the same way about the staff. There is one in particular that is very nice, her name missy. I basically refuse to deal with anyone else at this point. It sucks th it is such a rat race. But well worth it you know. Well gl to you lisa and all others.

good luck hun:thumbup:
