Help! Surgery in 3 days..I have a cold!!
losingjusme replied to Jami Victoria's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
try to call your surgeon and see what they suggest. zicam, Vitamin c, anything you can take would be great.. the surgery may need to be postponed, but you'd rather be healthy than sick (coughing/sneezing is not fun newly banded). good luck -
eww, nope - not pulled. still up there.

i think there is one around here ... i know i've seen one.

29Feb - losingjusme's plastics day
losingjusme replied to losingjusme's topic in Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery
ugh... horrible picture ... but i'll post anyway ... my 'trunk' is really swollen today and my garment is an old one .. :sad_smile: excuses excuses... im still very hesitant not going to the + section, or even Avenue / Lane Bryant for that matter. their smaller sizes still fit me (and i love the casique (sp?) bras with a little padding in them)... -
Unfill for PS - how to avoid gaining weight?
losingjusme replied to juliegeraci's topic in Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery
i probably gained about 5-6 pounds during my unfill. but i was truly eating garbage for a little and i couldnt exercise. now back on track, i've lost those 5-6 plus quite a few more. -
i completely disagree with the fact that you WILL only lose 30-50% of your excess weight. there are MANY MANY on here that have lost 100% or more of their excess weight. bypass might be quicker than lapband (not all cases though), but in the long run - i think 2 years - its about even. the band is a tool to help you lose the weight. exercising and eating right will help you achieve your goals. good luck.

Proactive vs paranoid?
losingjusme replied to JRT Mom's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
i'd say if you dont hear from her by Friday early afternoon, give her a call... i dont think it sounds desperate, just very interested in getting more healthy. good luck. :sad_smile: -
i hope so too ... :sad_smile: restriction is a wonderful thing!

Should I be a candidate?
losingjusme replied to Kung Fu Bob's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
i agree with Susan, the band is a phenominal tool that will help you lose the weight (it will not do all the work for you).. complications can include, band slipping, reflux, etc (more info can be found in the complications section) but most can be avoided. best of luck to you and welcome to LBT! -
welcome to LBT. the band is a wonderful tool. best of luck to you! :sad_smile:
-
let me officially welcome you to LBT ... :sad_smile: so glad you posted. good luck at your pre-op.

February/March 08 plastics
losingjusme replied to losingjusme's topic in Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery
salsa, SO glad you have a date! YAY! -
i 'snack'... i usually call it 5-6 small meals (bowl of Cereal, salad, small lunch - maybe 1/2 frozen meal), almonds, small dinner, maybe WW dessert)... that's what works best for me.

if you have an ipod there is an accessory that you can put in your cassette player, plug that into your ipod and you can listen to your ipod in the car. my DH has one and im sooooo jealous. (i dont have a cassette player and the radio frequency thingamabobs dont work for me)
