  5. Hey there, Tig!! I was just thinking about you, hope your doing fine. I can't wait until I get to have my surgery! ( I probably wont be saying that the day after,huh!) when you feel like it, drop me a line! Haven't heard from you in a while. Take Care

  6. Just thinking of you! Hope your doing alright! When you feel like it, drop me a line!! Hang in there, everything will be o.k.

  7. Hi there,LL, just thought I would drop u a line to let u know I'll be thinking of u tomorrow! I know you will b o.k. I am so excited about getting mine over with!!

    I left Arizona when i was 15 so thats been a few days (lol) ago. I probably wouldn't know the place now. And yea there is a BIG difference in Az. and Pen. I've always wanted to go there and maybe some day I can. Well I gotta run, best wishes for you and I will say a prayer for you! Let me know how you are doing as soon as you can!!

  8. Well time is rolling on! When I 1st started this, back in Aug. 08, I thought I would never see the end. It HAS been an experience :thumbup: Tomorrow will be 1wk.,I go see my Dr., then 2wks. my surgery!! I'm not to nervous right now,I'm the type of person that if I have to do something that is unpleasant, I just want to do it and get it behind me!! I 'm still on the pre-op diet and was really doing good until last nt.,we had potluck at Church and of course, everyone wants to bring their best and trust me, there was nothing healthy there!! So I just got a small portion of most of the chicken dishes,there was some veggies there but they were fryed ( I'm from the South and we fry EVEYTHING down here! ) So I hope I didn't do to bad! Well, I gotta go,I'm going fishing for 1st time this yr, I LOVE fishing, and I'm taking 3 of my grand kids,15, 8, and a 4 yr. old, probably won't get to fish much, but it will be fun anyway. :cursing:

    Bunny Bandsters - April '09, MASTER THREAD #1

    Hey everyone! Good Morning!! My ins. also made me jump thru hoops. I had to see my PCP for 6 months in a row, see a Psc,a nutritionist,go to a support meeting,physical therapy, and after I did all that I had to wait about 2 wks. to get my answer back from the ins. Believe me when I say, I was so nervous!! I thought what if, after I have spent all this time on trying to get approval and then they no, not to mention the $$$$$$$$ getting all the things done!! Well I was at work when the Dr.s office called so I couldn't call them back until I went on my break ( I had to wait about 2 hrs. before I could call back!! ) and of all things, I was SCARED to call them!! But anyway I called and really couldn't believe I had been approved!! I kept saying "Are you sure, Are you sure" :party:Well I gota go. I'm going fishing for the 1st time this yr!! I'm taking 3 of my grandkids,15,8 and a 4 yr. old, not sure how much fishing I'm going to get to do but it'll be fun Talk to ya later!!

Oh by the way, my bday is April 24,and like you,I hope to be sipping on chicken broth( I think I will freeze and put a candle in it so I can blow it out!! Oh wait, I can't do that cause all the candles would just thaw it out!! ) lol Anyway I LOVE what you are doing.
  12. Hey there ,was so happy to hear from you. No, I'm not jumping ship, just a little discouraged, but I'm feeling better now. Band_groupie, a lady on this site, told me she had heard of other people going thru the same thing and when they took all their pills, they were o.k., so that helped me alot to know that. I'm so happy for you on your weight loss!4_1_114.gif You are a stronger person than me! I don't think I could have gone on a liquid diet like that!

    Oh by the way, my anniversary is on your b-day, how cool is that! When I was a kid, we lived in Phoenix, it is truly a beautiful place! talk to ya later

    Meet the Bunnies

    Hey you guys!! My name is Sharon, I've been married to the same guy for 37yrs, have 4 WONDERFUL children and 10 Grandchildren( I have a t-shirt that says "If I had known how much fun grandchildren were, I would have had them first") and that is so true ,my children and now my gchildren are and have been my whole life!! That's maybe part of my problem, not taking any time for myself! So now at, age 55 IT'S MY TURN!!! I first started thinking about this in April 08 and went to my PCP in Aug. then to the Surgeon in Oct.08 and ever since then it's been to the Dr. at least 1 time a month. Right now my date is 04-06, but had a bad test come back so I have to take meds. for 2 wks. and retake the test and if it comes bad again, I can't have the surgery until I have a good report back. So here's hoping for a good test!! you guys keep me in your prayers! I so want this to happen on April 6 so I can be a Bunny Bandster!! You guys are the GREATEST!!

    Bunny Bandsters - April '09, MASTER THREAD #1

    My Dr. said my surgery would be an out patient but if I have a pain problem then I will have to stay the night. I have high pain tolerance so I will probably be coming home. On my very 1st visit to the Dr., they took my before photo and sometimes they post them on their web site. Also about 15 yrs. ago I was walking every day and got down to 158 and felt wonderful so my PCP set my goal weight at 150. I'm 5' 2" but I'm at a time in my life that I don't care anything about being skinny, I just want feel good and not hurt in my knees and feet!!!
  17. Hey there, so good to hear from you! I have a little set back on mine. My breath test shows that I have the bacteria that causes bleeding ulcers, so now I have to take 8 pills a day, 4 in the morning and 4 at night, 2 Previcids and and 6 antibiatics!! I go back for a retest onthe 3rd of April and if I still have the bacteria I can't have the surgery! What a BUMMER!! So now I don't know what is going to happen. But I'm going to keep a postive attitude!! Keep me informed on how you are doing,ok? talk to ya later

  18. Thanks for returning my message! I'm doing ok still taking a handful of pills!! I know I have lost some weight on my pre-op diet but don't know how much, I can feel it in my cloths. I go back to the Dr. on the 31st. Be sure and keep me up dated on your process! Talk to ya later!!

    Hey you guys, I'm (hopefully) going to be banded on 04-06-09. I had a test come back bad and I have to take 8 pills a day for 14 days, retake the test, send it off and get it back on the 3rd of April, 3 days before my surgery. And if it comes back bad , he won't do the surgery. GOSH so many pills!! I have NEVER taken so many!! So anyway keep your fingers crossed eveything goes as planned!
