My thoughts and prayers are with her family!!

I also agree with you Catherine and Luluc. I didn't go around broadcasting the surgery, I only told a few of my family members and close friends. I didn't feel others needed to know, it was a personal decision and definitely not ashamed of my decision, in 4 months I've lost 47 lbs. Coworkers comment on my weight loss and I tell them exercise and portion control, I feel that's more than enough informaton!!! Keep up the good work.

I know how you feel, I haven't lost any in the last week either, but we must keep the faith that we will get this weight off!!!

Caroline in Va, You should get approved with no problem, I was approved by Tricare in October 08 and had the surgery in December 22, 08 and I was only 80 lbs. over weight and one medical issue high blood pressure. I have lost 42 lbs. So Good Luck!

Hi Lvndreamz, Thanks so much for your words of encouragements, I am scheduled for 12/22 and beginning to get a little nervous and I think I'm catching a cold. Happy Holidays:Angel_anim: Apeavy

Hello December Banders, I see everyone is excited about their upcoming surgery. I am getting a little nervous as I approach my two weeks of pre-op dieting and the surgery December 22nd. I wish you all the best and look forward to chatting with you soon.

Happy Thanksgiving! I will be banded on 12/22 and would love to have lap band buddies/mentors. I am still undecided if I want the Lap Band or Realize Band, my doctor said he will leave it up to me. ...

I am scheduled for December 22nd, can't wait!!!!!!!
