I hate to be negative aboiut Oprah too but she needs to get a life and get banded. I don't know why so many people praise her for her bs and her different diet blunders. I am so proud of my son who has lost 100 lbs and prepares now to lose 70 more. I have lost 29 lbs in 5 months and thank my lucky stars that I finally saw the light and gave up dieting and learned how to eat with the bands help. If Oprah wants to lose weight and keep it off then Lapband Surgery is the name of he game.

:kiss:Hi everyone, My journey begins this Thursday @ 2:30 in the afternoon. I will be banded that day. I have tons and tons of questions to ask my Doctor tomorrow at the pre op visit. My doctor is Dr. A Joe Cribbens. My son had the same surgery this last March and has lost 69 lbs. He is a new person. Dr. Cribbens is the greatest. I waited three months before Dr. Cribbens would even file insurance on me. After the initial approval everything has moved quickly. Now I am nervous. I know how my son ate and he did great. I just hope I can do the same. He is a great support for me. My only fear besides not being able to eat is that I won't be able to play tennis in two weeks. All I read in the posts is that you hurt after the surgery. Can anyone tell me what it feels like? Does the pain go away? I only have my son to go on but he is 19 years old and I am 57. There is a big difference between us. However, I do think very young and play a mean game of tennis. I look forward to hearing from all of you. Skinnydeb:wub::teeth_smile:

I am having lap band surgery on July 31st and am looking for a buddy to share questions & answers & recipes etc . Looking to hear from someone. Debbie How do you get the weight ticker on here?:teeth_smile:

Hi there, don't go on Phentrimine you will just gain the weight back. At least that is what I have done over the years. Make a committment and get banded. Everything will fall into place. I just know it. I will be banded this coming Thursday July 31st and I am so committed to doing this I cannot tell you. You will be happy with yourself if you decide and do it and the questions you have will fall into place. Good luck, Debbie
