Congrats. I'm sure it feels great! I have these stupid 7 pounds until I am there with you. They just won't budge!!! -
how private is too private?
JUKU replied to kitkat61's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Secrets are never a good thing, especially on something so important. You are going to need support through this process. Good Luck!! -

I aggree with looking up recipes online and trying them. I am surprised how much I am enjoying cooking new things, I never was much of a cook before because I am single and live alone so it was always so hard to cook for one.

I can't remember when it first happened. I know it wasn't in the first few weeks. You just can't figure out where it is all coming from.

What do you get in your lap band package?
JUKU replied to marymary1's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was self pay and everything totaled around 21,000. It included surgery, anesethia, 1 year of fills, 4 quarterly meetings with dietician and 1 year followup with surgeon. -
It is the grossest thing where if you eat too fast or get stuck, all this saliva and slime feel your mouth and it WON'T stop! It doesn't hurt, just is disgusting.

Stay encouraged. I am a very slow loser too. I am only down 50 in over 10 months and believe me, I have felt like a failure at times. Ask advice from this website, there are many kind people to offer encouragement & advice.

Ready now more then ever!!!!
JUKU replied to Jessrw's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I know how you feel. But I will always be a "pear shape", bigger on bottom through my hips & thighs. Even though I have been losing, I still have my angry moments in the dressing rooms. -
Does everyone get numbed for a fill?
JUKU replied to pickles123's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My doctor does numb the area. That actually hurts more than the actual fill. Not really hurt, more like stings. -
That was me totally. I was so sure about it until the nurse actually called and gave me a surgery date. Then I felt "oh my this is really going to happen." Just trust in your decision. Good Luck.

Why would anyone ever think of saying something so unbelivably rude to a perfect stranger? I just don't get what satisfaction they get out of it!!!!!

I was self pay and it was right around 21,000 for everything.

Too tight? Not keeping liquids down...
JUKU replied to redhead722's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
It sounds like you are too tight. It is amazing how just a little unfill can help. -
Good for you!!!
