  7. Hey ISM! Hope you're doing well. Haven't seen you in the chat in a while...well, I haven't been in the room in a while myself either. :) How's your loss going? I am finally getting banded on Dec. 7th! Take care! :)

  8. What kind of exercises are you guys doing? I will be banded on December 7th and I want to know what you guys are doing so that I can go out there and do it as soon as I feel able!

    Finally got my Date

    Congrats! I just got my date too, which is December 7th. I was scheduled for November the 19th, but had to change it due to work related issues. I pray everything goes well with your surgery! Congrats again!
  12. lol You so crazy! Of course it's a GREAT thing if you think we look alike! Honestly, I thought the same thing too...=D I just hope I'm as hot as you once I lose all the weight I can lose! Thanks for your advice honey! I'll keep you updated and post pictures! December 7th here we come!!! :D

  13. Not sure if you remember me or not, but I am getting banded on the 7th of Dec! I'm SO excited!! :D I have a question for you, how much would you say you lost per week? I'm not going to focus on that, but just wanted an estimate...looking great woman!!! :)

  14. Hey Jessica - I e-mailed you back! Sorry it took so long...I've been busy at work and lost track of days..lol

  15. Hey Jessi, thanks for the add! I haven't been banded yet, but I will know today when I meet with my surgeon when I'm getting it done. I would love to talk with you about PCOS! I'll e-mail you so we can discuss further. Keep up the good job hon, and don't let this horrible condition that we have bring you down. We can beat PCOS!

    Pre-Op @ 280

    From the album: Kate the Radio Nerd

  17. Hello everyone, I'm new to the boards...and new to the thought of getting the surgery. I'm on the fence - about 98% sure that I will do it but before I am 100% positive, I am going to a local seminar at the hospital next week to have a professional answer my questions and talk about the surgery. I would also like to hear directly from LAP-BAND® patients. Will you guys answer some questions for me? I think it's best when it comes straight from the one's who have been there. Can you feel the device once it's in? Any complications at all? (I know it's different for everyone, but still...) Ladies: Can you take birth control afterwards? I'm using Yaz right now...will they put me on something different? Sex: When can you start up again, and is it safe...? ( Not quite sure how to ask that without sounding like a complete idiot! lol...:smile: ) Did you experience a lot of vomiting? Will you ever be able to eat food? Right after surgery, what did they give you for nourishment? Followed by a week-to-week deal? How much weight did you lose within the first month? I know it's slow and healthy weight loss, but do you feel like it goes quickly? Any change in emotions? (Not hormonal, just all around feeling great - confidence?) I know this is a lot, and I'm sure I have A LOT more somwhere in this brain of mine...I'm actually really excited and again, I'm 98% there...and to be honest, if they said "We'll take you today!" I'd be there. Thanks for your help guys! I TRULY appreciate your time!!

    Brie, you're a mess! lol Thank you dear! I can't wait to be able to agree with you...lol
  20. @2Flyguys - Thank you! :) I'm actually a dark brown, but it's black in that picture. It changes colour naturally! lol - I'm half native american. I just can't get over your transformation! Happy Bandiversary!!! :D

    You're doing great! I can't wait to get banded!! Any advice from you? What did you do for a workout, if anything? How fast did it come off for you so far? Proud of you!!

    You are a true inspiration!!! I'm SO proud of you! I hope to be as successful one day! I took a look at your other photos and you did SUCH an amazing job! I haven't started yet, but on my way. Take care hon!
  23. @Kamie - I'm glad to see that I have pre-opper support! :) Thank you for the kind welcome. We're in it to win it, that's for sure. Good luck and hope everything speeds along for you!

  24. @HalieBabe - You're very welcome! :) ((I deleted a duplicate comment from you, lol sorry - I have OCD!)) You have the right attitude about God helping you. He is the way and the truth and definitely will help us out each step as we go forth in this journey. I'll say a prayer for you! You'll get there. I'm impatient so I need to think about that little saying, "Patience is a virtue..." ;D

  25. @rdittmar - Did you weigh once a month just to get an idea? I think that is better than weekly. Weight Watchers makes you do weekly weigh-ins and it's depressing if you stay put one week or go up one week. I know we're all different and our bodies are definitely different, but I think you have the right idea! Best of luck to you!! :) I am ready for this...I'm just SUPER impatient...lol Thanks for the response!
