Liz & Boo Boo -- GOOD LUCK on your upcoming surgeries! We'll be thinking of you and wish you both a speedy :Banane56:

Laura, wtg on your first fill! HB egg and cottage cheese.. at least you're getting in that protein! Be careful, and remember small bites! Take it slow, you'll adjust to this new restriction.

BigGirlP - sorry to hear about the toe! Ow! GLAD to hear you've recovered nicely from the band surgery, awesome NSV! It's nice to feel good in clothes, I can feel your excitement. Thanks for the movie review, it sounds good - we all need a laugh! I'll have to check it out.

Chris, welcome back! Don't stay away for so long Congratulations on your approval! I'm green with envy! j/k (I was self pay, but am on track to finish paying back in 2 more years). Good luck with your appointments this week, psych eval sounds like a good time! October will be here before you know it (10/10 will be my bandiversary!), I did high protein/low carbs for 3 weeks before my surgery and dropped 15 lbs. You CAN do it!

GOOD LUCK to all, keep those updates coming!

Hi! I saw that they started a "twentysomething" thread and I thought that was a great idea!

I would like to meet others who are around my age to learn from, chart progress, make friends, etc.

I would also like to know things like when you had your surgery, where, weight loss, age related bandster issues (if any) etc.

I'll start: I'm 33 (will be 34 on date of my surgery in 2 weeks) Married mother of 15 & 16 year olds. I live in Ventura County, CA.

Going to Mexico to have Dr. Joya band me on the 26th!

Thank you!

I am the 31 year old mother of a 10 (almost 11) and a 14 year old. I'm married (they say the 3rd time is the charm) to an "older guy" - he's 49. Anyone else have feedback on the "saggy skin" issue? All I've figured out so far is Water - lots of WATER is the best hope in keeping firmer skin after weight loss.

You know dezadoo,

I accidentally added that extra "e" into your sentence... then i realized you meant surgery lol

[BigGirlPantiez 1]

Lizzi - I did the same thing!!

Hey girl, glad you are recovering nicely. I was so worried about you in Mexico all by yourself. You are a seriously strong super chica, I NEVER would have done it if I had to leave the country.

Hi, I'm Tonya. I live in S.C. I have a 16 month old little girl and a wonderful and supportive husband. Oh, I can't forget my little maltese puppy.

I'm not banded yet, but I hope I will be soon. I am doing my 6 month diet now for my ins.

I hope everyone is doing GREAT with their weight lose! I can't wait to join you.
