HooRay! your back feels better and you are well on your way to bandland. How is the liquid diet going this week?

Telly, I love Curves, but it is for someone who never stepped in a gym. I have been going for about 4 years. In that time, I have lost 50 lbs (total and about the same 20 lbs a blue million times) and about 30 inches. I love the fact I go in, I work out, I stretch, do ab work and I am done in 45 minutes or so. I dont have to be confronted with gym bunnies or fight people for machines or miss classes cause the aerobics class easy enough for me is only at xxx time. Trust me, for 30 minutes, I am definatly at my target work out heart rate. My curves has 16 machines and steppers in between each one. To get more of a work out, I have the 5 lbs weights strapped to my wrists. I wanted to post here tonight cause I finally got off my tush and worked out tonight, for the first time in two weeks. I feel sooo much better. When I get closer to my target weight, I will probably quit and join the local aquatics center because they have water aerobic classes and swim teams, and I love to swim, just not right now, know what I mean?

SO magic bullet or one of those wand type hand mixer jobs?

Well, if you want to get the ball rolling, You will need: A full blood work up that includes the normal stuff like Iron, cholesterol and white blood count (chem 21 maybe?) But also: B1 B12 a full thyroid panel, including free and thryroid uptake a vit d OH 25 H Pylori an Endoscopy THere is something else, but I cant remember. Dr Bauman does require you to come to one of his seminars(there is one coming up soon, the 6th I think) and to fill out the patient questionaire on his website. www.carolinaweightlosssurgery.com You will see the patient information on the left, then go to register. With most docs, they will require you to have the same blood work and stuff. I went to my general prac Dr to have all the blood work done. Oh and you will have to have a psychologist evaluation done. To make sure you wont go crazy after you have the surgery. Half kidding, half not. There are some pretty good threads on the main board like: Some questions to ask your dr http://www.lapbandtalk.com/showthread.php?t=12541 or http://www.lapbandtalk.com/showthread.php?t=15595 This whole thread inspired me: http://www.lapbandtalk.com/showthread.php?t=16050 __________________ And for somethin that everyone asks I personally like StrawartS description of what a PB is.. http://www.lapbandtalk.com/showthrea...roductive+burp

News just in: In an attempt to stop the spread of bird flu, President George W Bush has just bombed the Canary Islands. Turkey is next.

I posted it on my NC band forum too. I have several pieces from them.

Been there or trying to get there like me :confused:

As soon as the loser shrink gets off his butt and faxes the clearance to Dr B, I think we can proceed. I called his office and was told that they send off all of their notes to be dictatged and and it takes TWO weeks. Geez, 2 weeks? what kind of slow typers are they hiring to take dictation???? The shrink's nurse said it should be in this week and he will send it off as soon as he gets it. I told her to call me when she sends it to Dr B. So,,, I wonder if all this anger and impatience showed up on the test and if he is "testing" me. HAHAHA

I dont think the rabies shots are the 16 shots in the stomach anymore. I think its just one in the tushy. But definatly, call ped Dr

Neener neener neener.

My four year old sings "My humps", you can sing it with her.

the only single man I know is a dorky, but loveable, computer geek like my husband. But, as he keeps informing me, has 5 more days until his divorce is final. She is the causer of many many problems. I talked her into joining weight watchers, she dropped a 100lbs, then decided that my dorky guy was no longer "good enough" for her and proceeded to refind herself in bed with several other men. This has caused my husband undue stress, but he still fears that I am gonna lose all the weight and go look for a new man. Men are goobers sometimes. Maybe when my friend gets over all this and gets his "rebound fun" in, I'll introduce ya'll

Hi there! Are you thinking of getting it done here or in Mexico? self pay I assume?

I have to make this comment. I have been to some of the "other WLS forums" and well, this to me is the best run of all of them. It is well laid out, has great upkeep and has a wealth of RELIABLE information and great people. Thank you for a well thought out board!

Not a tent.. parachute pants. Then you can have "Cant touch this" running in your head.

OOH K@t, you are reading Harry Potter? Im a Potter fanatic! I am re-reading the books looking for clues for book seven, which is rumored to come out next summer. Anyone else a Potter nut?

Ah, man, Now I have that song in my head. Sad thing is... It wasnt a leap for me when I read that. And my husband has the same problem with pants. He remedied that though. He only buys levis and dockers, when he finds them on sale. He's more picky with clothes than me.

P'Nut, only if you bring potatoes! Snort-hahaha. sorry. how often have you heard that BAAAAD joke?

Ya know, I do too. I have been steering clear of the main boards! Its getting deep out there.

Ok, Im not cussing anymore. For a minute there, I thought that i would have had to be clear of the HP before the sent my stuff to ins. phew...

My hubby said he would like to come.. He wants to meet the other members of my "cult" He calls us, "Cult of the Ladies of Lapband" I told him we only chanted a little bit at our last meeting.

I heard that a pirate's favorite veggie is an Arrrrr-tichoke.

Kim, do you think that Dr B can send in my stuff to the ins to get approved before I am cleared of the HP?

SIX WEEKS???? WHADDA MEAN???? That crap isn't killed when i get finished taking my horse pills?? ***stomps off cussing***
