Seems like things are moving so slowly. After seeing the surgeon and having the scope done, we were referred to his bariatric center but could not get in until 10/13/11. I made contact with the nurse navigator and she gave me a list of things we could take care of before our appointments. So all medical records have been sent, psy testing done, yearly physical and testing completed. My dr. tested my V-D level to find I was very low. Will start 12.00 iu once a week to be good by surgery. day.

Hi Jojamel, thank you for adding me ! I just joined this forum and need a lot of support. So happy your surgery went well. Mine is Oct 27, 2011. I am not at all anxious re; surgery but very anxiety ridden because I read all the ppl who drop 10 lbs or more in the first week of pre op diet I am on the Optifast 5 a day with 64oz liquids. I have been on this since Tuesday and only 4 pounds down.

Still doing well. WOuld not change my decision... weight loss slow but effective. 175.2 pounds and size 10 pants... Loving my transformtion. This is a life long process. Don't give up, you deserve to be healthy!

Tomorrow Night: I will be at Detroit Bar for Static from 10:30 to Midnight and then at Glowbal Unity 3 at the Glasshouse from 2-3 AM. Hope to see you on the floor.

Are you on vacation or short on time? Take a quick walk in the pool. Walking in waist deep water for 10 minutes is... http://fb.me/EfyepuBe

Getting nervous for tomorrow. The Dr is going to test my port to see if I have a leak. I went from 7.5cc down to 5.5ccs and have gained back over 10 pounds

For those of you who are on those last 10-15 lbs, have you considered this? I think I'm going to give it a shot... http://fb.me/IzlSsjYp

Currently, I am 171 pds...I am 5' 10. My bandiversay is 3/28/08...My forth anniversay is approaching. I have maintained my weight very welll but I really need get healthier got to eat more protein....

Good Luck on your surgery tomorrow. I am really excited for you. My surgery is scheduled for 10-16-08 and it seems like it is soooo far away. I'll be thinking of you. Take care.

Yes I have a Dr picked out. I'm just about finish with all the testing I have a follow up on 10/1 and then I will meet up with my dr hopefully to set the date.

:unsure:After researching, second guessing and just plain scared for over a year, I finally did it. I was banded on Sept. 5, 2008. So far so good. I am sore and suffering from severe gas, but other than that discomfort, all is well. Now the hard part begins, a liquid diet and exercise.

I am surprised that I have the energy to walk because I wouldn't think that water, protein broth and shakes and sugar free popsickles could provide enough nuitrition, but I feel fine.

I am still sore, so I haven't been able to work up to :30 walks, but I take several 10 minute walks throughout the day.

Sorry it took me so long to write you back, I did not even know I had a message!!! I guess I am not as computer literate as I thought.... I am a little nervous, I have a 6 month old daughter and I am doing this so I can be a better mommy. But at the same time, I am worried about surgery. How about you??? I just started my 10 day diet today, I have been perfect (so far)... Are you nervous??? Tell me everything....
