ARKAWANA

Someone said they had a baked pototoe right after a fill to make sure she was not to tight. A smoothie would be about the same. I can't wait. Time seems so slow when your waiting for that call. Glad to hear from you and glad you are managing your new life. You set a fine example, for me to follow cherie:thumbup:

Great advice to eat something right after to see if it is ok. I have a long drive home, from doctor office and this will be a great help for me thank you and god bless your journey, cherie

Hello, thanks for the thread. It is nice to hear from arkansas people that are doing good. Please keep me updated on your progress, good luck and my god bless you on your journey, think positive everyday. Cherie

How you feeling? When do you go back to see doctor? Did you get a fill with the surgery? or wait one week for swelling to go down? sorry for all the questions, but I want to know as much as possible. Wellborn is going to be my Doctor. cherie

I CALLED MEDICARE DISABILITY TODAY AND THEY DO COVER THE LAP-BAND SURGERY. WITH MORBID OBESITY HIGH BMI & DIABETES OR SECONDARY HEALTH PROBLEMS. SO I AM ON MY WAY. I HAVE FILLED OUT & FAXED ALL MY PAPERS AND WILL COUNT THE DAYS TO HEAR WHAT IS NEXT. I WENT TO THE SEMINAR AND IT WAS WELL WORTH THE DRIVE THEY ANSWERED ALL THE QUESTION AND PUT ALL THE TRASH THAT I HAD HEARD ON THE INTERNET TO REST. YOU DO EAT REGULAR FOOD AFTER LAP-BAND SURGERY (AFTER 2 WEEKS) JUST SMALLER BITES AND NOT AS MUCH BUT YOU ARE NOT HUNGERY AT ALL. YOUR BRAIN TELLS YOU STOMACH YOU ARE FULL AND YOU START BURNING FAT CELLS FOR FUEL. IT'S LIKE GOING FROM A GAS GUSSLER TO A HYBRED ENGINE. I AM EXCITED TO GET STARTED. THANKS FOR ALL YOUR SUPPORT. ANYONE CAN E-MAIL ME cherieneal@hotmail.com PUT BANDSTER IN SUBJECT SO I CAN GET IT OUT OF JUNK MAIL. THANKS CHERIE
