Hi All, I'm glad to find the 60's group. My surgery date is July 7th. I can't wait!! I'll need all the support I can get. Just wanted to introduce myself :smile2:!!! Carol D'

Hi Jennifer, When you go in the day of surgery they don't even weigh you. I think they want to see if you're really serious and commited pre-op & you did really good. I only lost 16 lbs. of the 20 he wanted. I start my pre-op diet Tue. So I too have been suffering the "Last Supper" syndrome but not too bad. I don't want to blow it the next 2 weeks?? Wish me luck!! Carol D'

Hi Nean, How are you Doing? I haven't seen or heard how you are doing. I hope all is well with you? Let us know. Miss ya, Carol D'

It's probably just fluids. Hang in there. Carol D'

Nean I was just a little worried. I'm glad your okay!! 2 lbs. a week is good. 10 wks = 20 lbs. You'll do Great. Slow and steady wins the long race. New Job, New Life, New You. I'm really happy for you!! Carol D'

Hi Tracy, I'm booked for June 16th. We will be same Weeksters !!! I've had some Doctors with Lousy personalities, too. She didn't sugar coat anything. I think alot of people think that surgery is gonna fix everything. And should hear what you heard. I just don't think she new who she was talking to??? :ohmy: You handled the "Inquisition" perfectly!! You go GIRLFRIEND. Keep us informed. Best Wishes and Luck, Carol D'

Hi Will, Sounds like you're losing weight slow and steady. I was told 1-2 Lbs. a week is what to expect. Stay off the scale, It'll drive you nuts. Fluids swing your weight all over the place. So just don't look every day!!! Slow down and let it just happen. I get my band June 16th. I can't wait!! But my expectations are to go slow. I don't want a bunch of hanging skin. The 60's forum is not that active. So I go to several other forums. Check out the Post-op and the General Most Asked Questions Forums. Look and Lurk at all the forums. Hang in there, we didn't gain the weight over night and it's not gonna come off over night, Good Luck, CarolD'

Hi Jennifer, The Faulkner group Meets on the 2nd Monday of the Month June 14th in Suite 4420 6-7:30 pm. We'll be thinking and praying for you Wed. What time are you scheduled? It's almost here:thumbup:. You'll do GREAT!! Carol D'

Hi lilytime, 1 or 2 ozs. of fish won't hurt you, forget it. :ohmy: They do these operations all the time and have the equipment to deal with large people. You'll do fine and won't even remember or know what hit ya!! You are in the best hands!! This will probably save your life!!! We'll be thinking of you on Wed. What time is your surgery? Hang in there. Best Wishes & Good Luck, Carol D'

Hi Redhead, It won't be long Now:ohmy:!!!! I'm going for my pre-testing the 8th!! I start my pre-op diet Tue.?? Then june 16th I go in and you'll be able to tell me how the 1st week went!!! Congrats and Best Wishes, Carol D'

Hi 1reign, Yup that's crazy!!! They should have just left a zipper in ya!!! At least we know what to expect for pain. Well Good luck with you banding. Keep in touch:smile2:!! Carol D'

To tell or not to tell is your own business. Your not lying, you Have changed your eating and lifestyle. With work people you heard their comments about the "easy way". their is NO easy way. Your young and still worry about what peole think. I'm old enough to not care what people think. You've done "Great" . You should be Very Proud of all the hard work you've done!!! Just Love Yourself, Carol D'

Hi Joe, Congrats!!! I was told I have a Hiatal Hernia too. :ohmy: My date is July 16th. I'll find out then what size we're talking about? It must complicate the situation. Keep us informed with your progress. I'll be interested in hearing how it goes. Well you made it, now just take it one day at a time. You should feel better in a few days!! Good Luck, Carol D'

I too wanted to resolve the issues that made me eat. I started a month ago & I feel better talking with a Therapist. It's not what you're eating, I'ts what's eating you? I also am afraid of failing. It's a great move:thumbup:. Carol D'

Hi, I got my surgery moved up to June 16th. I still hope to make the meeting June 14th. My first metting was last month. Hope to see you all!!! Carol D'
