mrycrltn 2 Posted March 10, 2006 Best of luck to you. I know all about the back pain. It does go away after the weight is off. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MyKdsDad 1 Posted March 10, 2006 Hiya Sexy! What part of this great state are you from? Mary happens to be down around Houston and we're about halfway between Houston and Dallas. And there are a whooooooooole bunch of folks in here from Texas. Whatever questions you may have, just ask. There are plenty of good people in here that can answer your questions.

dolphin_dreams 0 Posted March 12, 2006 Welcome to the board. We're glad to have you even if you are an Aggie. Just Kidding, I'm a Red Raider so I couldn't resist. This is a wonderful place and there are plenty of Texans around. I'm right there with you on the back pain. My ankles and back hurt all the time. I only lost 42 pounds but I can tell a HUGE difference. Good luck on your journey. :welcome: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

barbara465 2 Posted March 14, 2006 I'm in Houston. Dr. Spiegel is going to do my band. Waiting for insurance approval. Question: Cruise scheduled for end of May. Should I get it done now or wait until after the cruise? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mrycrltn 2 Posted March 14, 2006 Barbara, I have a cruise planned for 6/17. It's up to you, but I would lose as much as I can B-4 the cruise. You could lose 20-30lbs before you left. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
barbara465 2 Posted March 14, 2006 I'm more concerned with how I will feel. At most it will be 8 weeks after surgery. I won't be able to get banded until end of March. It's just the fear of the unknown, but the thought of being 30-40 lbs lighter for the cruise is appealing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DonnaB 3 Posted March 14, 2006 Hi fit2bsexy, I'm in the D/FW area. Welcome to LBT! Barbara, don't forget you'll be required to be on a liquids only diet from a few weeks to a month or more depending on your doctor and then you'll be on "mushies" for awhile too. Think about that while planning your surgery and cruise. Either way you go, good luck with your surgery and enjoy that cruise! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
