Sasha, congrats on your consult. Its hard to believe mine was a year ago. I can't believe I am down 50 lbs without barely trying. It unimaginable. Good luck on your journey.

Edie, congrats to you. I noticed today when I tried on a bathing suit it looked like my back fat was getting much better. Congrats.

Jill, that is quite the story. I am so glad your little girl is okay. I have a story too. When my oldest son was about 4 years old we went to the playground. He proceeded to the top of the slide. When he started to go down I raised my hands and said "weeee". He proceeded to do the same. He fell over the side railing of the slide! He broke his collar bone. Thankfully it was only that and not a broken neck. I cried I couldn't believe it. I went to my neighbor who was an older woman and told her the story. She proceeded to tell me her 2 year old once followed her in the bathroom and she shut the door on his hand, cutting off 2 finger tips. That was horrible. After that I finally calmed down. Accidents do happen. Take care of yourself okay!

Yes, that is sliming. Either that or PB. Both have something come up. Good luck.

Yes, I bruised around where the incisions were made. Congrats on being banded.

I used Gas X strips. If you are hungry eat some creamy soup. You can have anything that fits through a straw. Good luck.

My doctor did have me on one either. I think the better surgeon's don't care.

I would ask to be put on the cancellation list. They are bound to call you sooner than May 4th. Good luck.

Debbie, congrats on making this life changing decision. You will love being banded.

Mammamay, congrats on making the decision You will not regret it. Julie

I would pass if I were you. Its too hard when you are on the liquid stage.

Marcia, congrats on making the decision to be banded. You will love it. Julie

Marcia, it really matter on how much you have to lose. I had to lose 80-100 lbs. I will definitely need a tummy tuvck after this. Julie

Hi Afrykanvyolet, Go into tickerfactory.com put in your weihgt, etc. It will then take you to a page that says BBC code I think. copy from where the (img) starts until (img) ends. Paste that directly into your signature and save. That should do the trick.

Please update: I am at 233 now, 5 more lbs til goal.

It will fix on its own once you get back to solid foods.

Productive burp. It is just like vomitting.

Dave, glad you are feeling better. You should be off the pain meds soon.

Becca, it all depends on what your insurance says. Mine went stricty with BMI of 40%+. Julie

This is totally normal. I had a major meltdown prior and cried that night. You are normal and everything will be okay.
