welcome to LBT.

best of luck to you.

best of luck to you and safe travels.

hi welcome to LBT. maybe a call into your insurance to see if lap band is covered could be the first step. if it is, ask what's next? best of luck to you.

my PS recommended 6 months. i'm a tad shy of that... ok ok ... 3 months.

BBK, impossible to believe you once needed WLS..

awwww, Salsa... im sorry... PLEASE take it easy. you are still recently post op. especially in the heat.

BBK - that is amazing!!!!!

not sure if i agree with this... just because you have excess fat doesnt necessarily mean you have excess energy reserves ... i dunno, maybe its different for women vs men, but i dont know... congrats on the duo

we dont use either shoes nor socks.

georgia, LOVE the new profile pic!! you look mahvelous!

thanks Pix!

congrats She!!! :cool:

moving to July 2008 group

fine - you guys are no fun!

not if it even has the potential to make someone cry....

WOW WOW WOW WOW!!!! HOT MAMMA! BBK, you are astonishingly gorgeous!

as a bandster, it really is difficult getting the carbs and cals in - specially early in the morning (i'm usually super tight in the am)... my suggestion, find a good shake you like and load up on it... or even some carb loading for your evening meal. my fave shake (and i DO NOT RECOMMEND it for someone who is not working out regularly) is muscle milk. i didnt care for the 'light'... i loved the chocolate Peanut Butter... mixed it with either Water or milk for more cals/carbs. it is high in cals and fat.... but if you are running 5+ miles, you need the cals and you burn the fat, so i didnt worry about it when i drank it. they have all kinds of flavors - i bought it from body building.com... EXCELLENT customer service. Bodybuilding.com - CytoSport Muscle Milk - Muscle Growth And Repair! On sale now! best of luck to you on your half!

one can wish..... :redface:

not pleased, but she puts on a good face :thumbup:

i really appreciate that post, Susan. thank you. i know it was harsh, you're right - i didnt do it to make her cry, but she needs to see reality. and sometimes reality smacks you 'upside your head' :thumbup:

i dont see anything wrong with eating fast food every once in awhile (i ate a Sonic breakfast sandwich this morning!!!! ). but like MacMadame said, it wasnt just days after being banded...

to the people who dont do research, go to a foreign country, sign consent forms that have typos, are generally uncomfortable with the situation and still get banded ... WHY?????? same goes for those that eat solids 2-6 days post op.... WHY??????? i mean really?

salsa, sorry about the sleep issues. did you get a chair for the shower? if not, please please be careful. swelling is a b(ahem)... at least you are in a cooler house now. C
