Texarkana Bandsters



Recommended Posts

You might need to say big okie,,, and maybe next year we can refer to me as little okie...lol. I live in the very southeast corner of Okla. So yes, that's kinda close to Texarkana. It's about a hour away. I work in DeQueen, AR and it only takes me about 18 min to get to work. I'm excided for you. You have waited so long. I noticed you have been trying to get this approved since April. Only if you have time, would you tell me why it took so long for your insurance to approve? I haven't even started the approval yet so I'm afraid it will be a while for me, but the insurance company told me after I send in all of my test result (having them all done on Jan 8th) I should have an answer within two weeks. Is this wishful thinking on my part?

I know you can do the liquid diet. I did, if can anyone can. Just think about how much healthier you will be.

I live in the contry, but close to Mt. Pleasant. MP is about 60 miles from Texarkana.

later,

lisa

I know I'm gonna try my best, but I know it will be hard. A friend of mine just had her surgery done @ Dallas and he had her do an Atkins diet 10 days before and she lost the 10 lbs required. I was hoping I could do that and then the liquid diet after. But then again I guess doing the liquid diet after would be easier if you done got use't to it. I'm sure I will survive.... Hope you r still feeling okay....

;) I don't have a surgery date yet. I have all of my testing on Jan 8th and will go from there on the surgery date. I have to be approved by the insurance company. I hope it wont be long afterwards. I meet all of the criteria just have to clear everything else. Have you heard from Lisa G today? I don't see where she has been on here. I hope she is still doing good. Your husband is planning to have the lapband done. right? My husband could use it and I hope if I do well he will consider it too. You and I have about the same start weight. I'm sure I gained some over Christmas. If I don't watch it I will gain 5 lbs or more a week.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
