My name is Josette and I'm 31. I live in Lansing Michigan and I've been married a year and a half. We have no children yet due to this pesky PCOS. At the moment we have 2 dogs whom I love beyond words. One is a pure bred german shepherd named Liberty and the other is half german shepherd and half yellow lab named Mason. I also have a huge black cat named L'Roar (don't ask) that was my mom's cat and ended up being mine. He's been a great comfort to me since she passed away. I've been pretty devasted without her for the past 7 months and I'm hoping getting this band and losing some weight will give me a whole new positive outlook on life. I'm looking forward to it.

I'm having my surgery done at the LapBand Center of Michigan in Port Huron. There are two doctors and they only do lapband and they have over 3000 surgeries combined under their belts. I have my consult with Dr. Boutt this coming Thursday June 15th and at that meeting I get to schedule the date for my surgery. YAY!

I'm currently around 385 and I'm 6'1". I think I'll leave it at that for now.

I'm so glad to meet you all! :clap2:

I am 31 and live in Vancouver, WA. I have been married to a wondeful man for 7 years. I have a 2.5 year old boy/daredevil who gives me gray hair daily. Then again so does my DH!! :cool: We have one dog. She is a scottie poo (with a little too much poo) and her name is Ebony.

I have yet to be banded, but I have narrowed my search down to Dr. Joya in PV. No date yet because I have to see if I can get financed somewhere. I am very anxious and excited to get my band ASAP so I can get started on my new life. :heh:

We do not own our own home but would love too. Housing is getting very expensive in Vancouver and Portland.

Josette, we seem to be about the same when it comes to weight loss. I am 6 feet tall and currently weigh 430. Where did you find out what you ideal weight is? I certainly don't believe that I shoudl weight 150!! :D

This thread is a great idea! Nice to meet ya'll!!

Amy

Hi 30 somethings.

I'm Julie, from Alabama but living in Yankee-land (NYC), as my family calls it. I'm a lawyer, single (except for a recurring relationship that springs anew every few months), 33 years old, no children (yet). I was banded in April by Dr. Fielding at NYU. I'm down 33 lbs to date and glad to finally have what I hope will be a good fill.

I get to the gym pretty often and meet with a trainer a couple of times a week to make sure I go. My pre-band downfalls were ordering food instead of preparing healthy things. Mexican food is the enimy!

Lastly, I'm vegetarian, if anyone is interested in sharing veggie ideas, particularly getting in enough Protein.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
