Thanks for the support- would love to have a buddy- would have responded by email but as I appear to have computer deficet disorder I have not figured out how to do that yet-nice to meet you by the way!!! Pat

Hi- was justed Banded 11-5-08- having a lot of trouble getting the protein shakes down -I drink a few sips and then feel so bloated its uncomfortable- do you really get to eat reg food soon? this 3 wks on liquid is starting to get me down quite a bit and am starting to think I made the wrong decision. when are you able to eat again and can you eat things like salad ?I felt this was my last chance and I think I am failing at it-any advice?:eek:

Greetings Beautylocs, Very very nice ti hear from you- Hope all your preadmission process stuff goes as smoothly as mine did- Dr. James Wagner @ Hurley Bariatric Center in Flint Is my surgeon. I live in the upper thumb of michigan so it is a drive where ever I go but that is ok. My insurance is Blue Cross and the Dr.'s office did all the insurance clearing for me although there were requirements that need to be fulfilled for that- proof of BMI- other health risks- hypertension-, diabetis ect. all in all I started theprocess in june and finally made it to now. Please keep in contact as I would love to hear from you and we can give each other plenty of support Best Wishes

have surgury set for 11-5-08 and am a bit nervous- is there much discomfort? Are you able to eat most foods after you heal-like salad or pasta ( in small amounts of course) I am 51 yrs old and feel every year and am looking forward to being able to be more active-have a great support system in place and am glad to be in contact with all you.

we can do this together- my surgury is 11-5-08 w/ Dr. James Wagner @Hurley bariatric center- week ends are the worse for me but we are both sooo close and its just for a little bit more- day by day we can do this ( never been a cheerleader before-this could be fun) I will watch this forum for your progress ok? Best of luck!!!!!!
