wish someone would translate all the lingo used on this forum. I see PB I see DH when speaking about husbands? so confused...:confused:

all this talk of turkey is making me :confused:. But seriously I wish you luck. You will do fine. Cranberry sauce is another good choice as long as there are no chunks of fruit in it.

its a fear that I have as well. My surgery is in November, but there are a lot of very supportive and knowledgeable people on this forum that will help calm your fears.

Augubwa hope all went well. Haven't heard back from you since.

Small world. Anyone else here from keller?

Keller Texas here. Where did you guys get banded? I am going through Baylor Southwest. So far I am very happy with them. November seems to be when I will get mine done. Insurance required a 90 day diet monitoring which ends October 3rd. Had my upper GI (HORRIBLE). I have my sleep study October 4th and October 10th. Then its just the waiting game for approvals. I hope I get a :rolleyes2:. I can not wait to get it done.

To the positive responses I Thank you!! I most certainly am not an abusive husband to the negative responses. I agree with Fairy and others that when I can't eat fast foods or drink soda then my whole family will lose weight. This will be a lifestyle change for me and my whole family. My wife and I have had a long coversation about this today. She really looks forward to changing her diet and working out together. This is a journey she is willing to take with me. I love my wife and I am glad she is by my side.

REALLY!!! Omg thank god. I love steak and I want to keep having it...haha.

Ahh its really not that bad. I had 4 pulled wisdom teeth and 1 molar in the same day. They knocked me out. The next day I was at a steakhouse eating a nice steak. you will be fine. I am more nervous about my lap band coming up in November. no more steaks for me!!!

She has no medical conditions, but she, like me, is lethargic always exhausted and just "unhealthy". I did apologize but she, like me, has to lose weight. Heart disease in women is a huge problem. I want her around forever with me. she is the love of my life, only woman I have ever loved and been with. 9/24/91 is our 17 year anniversary since we were 14 years old.

dang I am always doing that. But after 17 years of being together I guess she gave me a pass. I didn't do it out of malice. Just want her to be healthy.

how long ago were you banded? how long did you wait for your first fill?

I am hoping to. All signs point to that if I get my approval before the end of October from insurance. Where are you having it done? I am at Baylor Southwest in Fort Worth, TX. good luck with yours!!!

I am so glad I found this forum. You folks are great and thank you for the quick responses. I have a wife that is a great support system and this forum gives me even more of a support because its the same folks that had it done. I cant wait for my surgery. sleep study 10/3 and 10/10 2 weeks after that I should hear my answer from insurance.

good luck will say prayers

Augubwa good luck tomorrow. Mine looks like its in November and I cant wait.
