    Good morning everyone!! How is everybody feeling today? What is this diet I am reading, this is for when your weight loss stops? It almost sounds like the 2 week beginning of South Beach, which I did and lost 15 lbs. Carbs are not my friend so when I cut them out I am and loose, but the minute my friend bread comes back lol I gain! darn you Panera and your breads!!! :thumbup: Nicole - Park Shadelands is small, so I assume the fills would take place there. I really want everything to happen @ Richmond so I don't have to miss tons of time @ work, not in my budget :thumbup: Question - They told me Gastric is covered on our insurance, but is the band???

    your too sweet! I damn sure don't feel like I am. I am so unhappy with myself! I dont want to be big anymore, but I have tried every diet out there! Atkins, WW, Southbeach (Which I did decent on) and even the cabbage soup! I just want to be healthy and be here for my baby :)

    OMG!! At least they gave you a C-section, I kept begging them, but they wouldnt give in LOL. Thank you for all the info, it's so helpful talking to someone whos been there!!

    Well I figure If I can naturally deliver my 9 lb daughter, with the Epidural that DIDNT take, I can stand this yes? LOL. After the surgery, how long till you could workout? The results do not happen without that?

  7. tamra.

    That is AMAZING!! Be honest, should I prepare for pain? I have an almost 3 year old and I work fulltime. Not sure how I will handle it all. You are my insperation seriously!!

  8. tamra.

    I saw your new before photos. You were shaped JUST like me. I swear seeing your pictures make me want this more then anything!! How long has it been since you were banded? Was it long before you saw results?

    Nicole - I was told even with my classes being in Walnut Creek's Shadeland office (small small place), the surgery only takes place in Richmond. It's pretty much the same as I work in Richmond but live close to Walnut Creek. LOL. I just want to get to the first inital class to really hear info, ask questions and determine if this is right for me. I have a fear of dying during surgerys, and getting put to sleep scares me as well.
  10. tamra.

    I hope so!! Just hearing I might have to loose 10% of my weight stresses me out!

  11. tamra.
    I have to ask, do these "fills" hurt?? I just found out what it is, and Im like hmmm...LOL... Well, I will see what happens on 7/17. I wish I could find a sooner one, but Pinole sent me to Richmond who wasnt till the end of July, Martinez was August, and Walnut Creeks is mine.....I could check Vallejo? LOL
  12. tamra.
    Thank you so much Reggie!! I actually called Richmond today and their next avail class was at the end of July. I kept my 7/17 class because I originally had 8/20....I guess I will have to take the day off, since mine starts @ 9 am, and 4 hrs later It would be way to late to go to work!! What type of diet is it? Is it suppose to help you loose weight before the surgery?
  13. tamra.
    10% omg. I am 270, so I would have to loose 27 lbs? I have NEVER lost that much before, I wouldn't even know where to begin :confused: I have the class July 17th. I am not even sure what it is. Can you tell me? Also, how long is it? I plan to shoot to work right after LOL I work in Richmond but the class is in Walnut Creek..... Any info would be super helpful!
  14. tamra.

    going pretty good, doing tons of research on this band. I am scared of needles and being put to sleep. LOL. How are you? You were cute before your banding :)

  15. tamra.

    I was very weary of the band, but when I saw you, your pictures, WOW!! I have been full force in finding out how I can do this, etc...you look AMAZING!!!!!!!! I have showed so many people your pictures!!!

  16. tamra.

    Hi, I actually got in earlier @ park shadlands in Walnut Creek, 7/17.

  17. tamra.
    Hi thanks for the info everyone! Does everybody have to loose weight before the banding? I would assume you dont have to loose alot right? I cant loose weight thats why I want the band LOL
  18. tamra.
    Hi everyone!! I am thinking of getting the lap band done. My bestfriend keeps telling me to seek info on having the extra skin removed when I am done loosing weight. Is this really something I need to think about?? Does everyone have too?

    Hi ! even though I use the Martinez Kaiser I assume this would happen for me @ Richmond. Can you walk me through what happens? So far all I have is a class 8/20 that my doctor enrolled me in. What is it? What happens after? Am I in for a long wait?

    Are you in pain?
  22. tamra.
    hi everyone, question. I know with the gastric you have to loose a certain percent before having the surgery, is it the same with the band?
  23. tamra.
    I dont have a doctor yet, I go through Kaiser. I have the class in Aug to explain everything, and I guess we go from there.
