    Banded 2 Days Ago

    This post was just what I needed! My surgery is Wednesday and I have literraly been a nervous wreck all week!! Thank you for the encouraging words. BTW...what types of things did you buy prior to surgery for example I've heard of buying different kinds of "Cream of " soups, Gas X strips, etc.
  2. Hi I'm scheduled for September 2nd. I am also self pay and it is so funny because it is like you were reading my mind. I wasn't forced to loose the weight for insurance purposes so I was eating everything in sight. I started my pre-op diet and it was a struggle firt but it is getting a little easier. Good luck! My pre-op appointment is Monday. I'll keep in touch!
  3. Stay motivated and don't let negativity cloud your mind. I had a friend who basically said the same thing. To make long story short she said she didn't want me to get as thin as she is! People will be jealous but you know what your goal is!
  4. September 2nd is also my surgery date! I am excited but as the time winds down I am also getting a bit nervous. GOod Luck! KIT :biggrin:

  8. Hi Ms Mississippi. I wanted to start off by saying you look great! You are such an inspiration. I am being banded on 9/2. I am excited as well as extremely nervous!

    Hello Soror! Just wanted to say you looke great and keep up the good work. I am scheduled for 9/2! Looking forward to the journey.

  10. Hello...I was looking at your profile and I saw that your surgeon is Dr. Duncan. I am scheduled with him on 9/2. How was your experience?

  11. Hi DeeDee....Just stopped by to see how you were feeling. Since the last time I've spoken to you things have really picked up. I received my date 9/2! Yeaah! :thumbup: I am soo excited and nervous. My doctor is Dr. Duncan of True Results. Hope you are doing good.

  12. Hello Soror! Just wanted to let you know that I got my date of September 2. I am so excited. I was also concerned about how to address my weight loss once it becomes noticable. I teach and we go back on 8/3. Then a month later I will be banded. Just a little concerned on how to address the weight loss.

  13. Here's something else... I am also in the field of education. I am looking into starting my Master's in Administration. We really have to talk. My email address is mrssullivan621@yahoo.com. Hope to hear from you soon.

  14. Guess what?!?! I got my date! September 2. I am soo excited!

  15. Hello Soror! Just wanted to drop in and say hello. Have you been banded yet? I will find out my date tomorrow. Just wanted to say good luck with you journey.

  16. Hello Soror!! I just wanted to tell you thatyou look amazing. I am going tomorrow and will more than likely get my surgery date. I am also married with one child and I am anxiously awaiting to get the ball rolling. I would love to chat with you about your experience. I'm excited but a bit nervous as well.

  17. It went well...my insurance wouldn't cover the procedure because my BMI isn't high enough and I dont have any other comorbidity. I decided to go through Credit Care so I go back this week. Hopefully I will know something when I go back. I'm hoping to get banded in early September.

  18. Hi there...I am also from Atlanta. We are practically neighbors if you live in Faurburn! I am going for the seminar tomorrow.

  19. Thanks for the questions...the Dr. is Dr. Hart at True Results. Have you heard anyhing about him?

  20. wow! to be honest I'm not sure who my doc is but my appointment is at The Center for True Results on Peachtree. Who is your dr? I would rather go to someone who I know is satisfied and confortable with their dr.

  21. Hi deedee I am also from Atlanta..I have my first appointment Monday.

  24. Hi Keping the Faith.....I am new here. I have my consultation on Monday but I had 2 questions for you if you don't mind. How long did you have to wait before your initial consultation and your actual surgery? Also, How hard was it going from solid food to just liquids?
