Do You? You know use that word!
autkel replied to SlimTarnishedDiva's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
I do not like nor do I ever use the "N" word. I have a biracial child and her dad says it all the time...I would always get on him as well. I don't care what color you are, the word is horrible. I can't believe that people think that its okay to say. I better not EVER hear my daughter use it or she will be missing some teeth. -
Banded on 1/20/10 and new to the forum :)
autkel replied to hollyradley's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Congrats! I was banded on 12/24/09, so I'm pretty new as well. I'm in Round Rock, not too far from you :cursing:. My doctor told me to use a heating pad to help relieve those pains and it worked, give it a shot, hopefully it will work for you as well. -
I have found a lot of recipes online. I have a recipe for baked potato soup that is AWESOME...its low fat, low calorie but kinda high in carbs. If you are interested, I can email you the recipe. I was banded 12/24/09. My email is autkel75@yahoo.com

Your weight loss is a HUGE inspiration to me. I was at the same start weight that you were and I am very inspired! I was banded 12/24/09 and hope to have the same results as you by September....CONGRATS!

How long did it take to get approved by BCBS?
autkel replied to jessress87's topic in Insurance & Financing
I have BCBS Anthem and was approved in 4 days. -
I had pretty much the same experience that you did...no pain first day, second day, I was asking myself what the hell did I do to myself? I was banded on 12/24/09, so its all still very fresh in my mind. I still find that I am tired, but the soreness and pain are gone. Good luck with your journey!

Congrats! Everyone's wait time varies depending on your insurance and such. I started my process on 12/4/09 and had my surgery on 12/24/09. I go back to the doctor for my first fill on 1/28 and I think I've lost about 35 lbs. Good luck!

Is it hard to quit drinking Diet Coke?
autkel replied to JJLaw08's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I too drank Diet Cokes from the time I woke up until I went to bed. I thought it was going to be really hard to quit, but believe it or not, it hasn't been that hard. I do want one from time to time but I'm too scared of what will happen, so I stay away from them. The headaches will get better....I have only been banded for 1 month. -
I am one week out from having lap band and just wondering if there is any advice that I should have before doing the surgery. Autumn
I'm sure you will do terrific, just keep focused!
