PattiU

I am Patti from NJ. I received all the tests and they are sent in to the doctor, now the date and bootcamp need to be set, and of course the approval. I even got a job that I need to turn down because I want to do this more. I'm babysiting now and they will work with me. Trying to drink more water now, vitamins, chewing. Just doing more chewing, make me realize how I really inhale the food! and of course making better choices. and excercising. I hope to do this the beginning of July, and have all of July to get better, my husband can help me and there will be other jobs anyway. Is anyone out there in the same boat now I have Dr.O it will be at Atlantic City Medical Center. Thanks PattiU.

Hi Angela, I just said goodbye to my little granddaughter, I had her for a few days, she is 3 and we had so much fun. Hope you are feeling better. Sometimes I think I should just get the other operation because I have the time to get better and the insurance, but I don't know. My daughter had it and she does great. But any way I'm sure I'll loose on the band too. Let me know how you are feeling? Have a happy Memorial Day! Patti

Dear Angela, Thank you so much for you honest answers. you see I have a job watching 2 boys, and may be offered a job at a photography studio doing photoshop on computer, it is not active work, but the stress of a new position and learning new things plus being in pain may add up. The boys are enough to make staples pop out!!! I have it arranged to wait until the beginning of July for the surgery for the nanny job, so I can rest and my husband will be here all day too. So this has to be my priority, Your loss is wonderful! do you feel hungery? are you still weak? I live near Atlanitic City in NJ. I lived all my life in Philly and we moved here last August. My youngest son is 26.(and really cute). so thanks for writing and lets keep in touch! Thanks Patti

Hi my name is Patti, I'm so happy for you. seeing how you just had your band done can you give me some idea of how much pain you have? I need to know if I could drive and babysit and do my computer job as well? Are you weak from no solid food? Please write back to me? I don't want to give my employers false info, and one, I didn't even mention I'm getting it. all the tests are done and clearance is done, the insurance has to approve it, Take care, and 10 lbs. is wonderful! Patti

I thought April was a girl's name on the forum.LOL. I'll get the hang of it. Thanks for writing I'll be back, must go to sleep now.Gotta get the stress test and primary care sign off tommorrow. Patti

Hi Jersey Girls, I am PattiU. I am waiting for my lapband from Dr. O. in Egg Harbor Twp, N.J. I live in Smithville, in Galloway Twp. How bad does it hurt comming out of the surgery? I am gonna go to the support group all the time too. It's sad to hear that people have problems and sometimes don't loose the weight. My daughter had the bypass 3 years ago, she lost alot of weight but seems to be in some sort of pain all the time. well hope to hear from you all. Patti
