May 2007 Banders



Recommended Posts

Hey Crabcake,

Thanks for the note about the May Banders. I'm going to Dr. Richard Stahl here in Birmingham and will have my surgery at Shelby Baptist. I'm planning on going to the Lap-Band support group that meets at Dr. Schmitt's hospital. Maybe we will get to meet there!

Great! We'll have to stay in touch and try to meet up there at one of the meetings. I'm self pay also (by the grace of God and my DH!). I'm glad you joined us here...it's nice having everyone's support. :clap2:

Twinmommy,

Love the list, it keeps me laughing (and motivated!!). What a fun bunch we are, and we keep growing!! I think it's great.

It will be May in just a few hours. Good luck everyone.

I no longer know if I'm having surgery on the 7th. I have a call into the surgeon and am awaiting a response.

I was at urgent care today with a bladder infection. Also have something called mesenteric inflammation of the outer abdomonial wall.

I hate today.

NVgirl - nothing like a bladder infection to ruin your plans. I came down with one just as I was doing my pre-ops. Lucky for me I am on antibiotics and should be fine by surgery date. Good luck to you, hope they don't have to change your date. Where do these things come from!?

All my biopsys came back normal today so I'm good to go. Thursday is the start of Clear Liquids for me. I know I can do it because a bunch of you have and we are a team! Go Team!!!

If you open MS Word (assuming that's the program you use), then come back to the forum and highlight the calendar, then right click on it and click copy, then return to MS Word and right click again, then click on paste...you'll get it.

A list of all the reasons I would like to lose 100 lbs.

1. to be able to bend over and tie my shoes and breathe at the same time

2. to lose my apron (if you know what I mean, say Amen)

3. to stop giving Lane Bryant so much money

4. to be active with my kids

5. to feel like being more "active" with my husband

6. to set a better example for my kids

7. to not always be the largest person in the room

8. so all of my pant will no longer have those lovely worn spots where my thighs rub

9. To wear a skirt and not get a rash on my thighs

10. to be able to cross my legs

11. to be able to pass by someone and not feel like my huge @ss is gonna knock them over

12. to wear "cute" undies again... shop at Victoria's Secret again!

13. so I don't have to suck my stomach in all the time.

14. So I won't have to constantly be re-arranging my clothes to make sure all of my lumps and bumps are covered appropriately.ponder.gif

15. so I can fit comfortably in an airplane seat

16. So I won't have to wear a full-length trench coat to the beach

(exaggeration, but you get what I mean)

17. So when I want to walk at lunch with the girls, I can keep up with

them and not feel self-conscsious because I'm breathing heavier than

they are.

<!-- / message --><!-- sig -->18. So I can give myself a pedicure!

19. not be ashamed to be in a FULL LENGTH picture!

20. So I can ride roller coasters.

Keep them coming. I am going to print this and put it in my journal. You can copy it to word the same way as the chart.

Crabcake, thanks for answering Wenjea. That's the way I would copy it, too.

NVgirl, I'll leave you where you are on the calendar. I'm sure you will be fine in a day or two.

I got a call today from my surgeon's office. They had a cancellation for May 8 and wanted to know if I wanted the slot! Would have been terrific to get on with it, but unfortunately, I have arranged my work schedule and have my staff covering for me later in the month. Too hard to rearrange now! Boy was I bummed that I couldn't take advantage of the opening!

But, May 22 will be here before I know it, so it won't be so bad.

Here's to MAY and great changes and new leases on life! :rockon:

Hugs to all!

Hey Everyone!

You guys are awesome, I am getting so excited about the new lives ahead of us. I'm a little worried about everyone at work after the fact because I feel as if everyone is going to be watching what I eat and don't eat. I have one co worker that justs keeps asking me what I'm supposed to eat after this and that she is going to eat everything I eat so she loses weight too. She is driving me crazy!

I wanted to add to the bottom of the list:

21. To maybe be able to wear a sexy nightie for my hubbie and look good in it.....

I have another one:

To be able to wear a pair of jeans that zip and not be pull-ons

Thanks for your good wishes! The surgeon's office called and told me he'd been in surgery all day, but would run it by him tomorrow. They didn't seem to think it would be a problem, as I'm on a strong 7-day course of antibiotics.

I've gotta go to Vegas for a couple of days (yep, dragging my protien powder and personal blender in my suitcase) - good luck to everyone being banded on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday! I'll be sending good thoughts your way!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
