A Week From Banding In VA Beach

[Hebber 0]

2 a week works for me ! Did you do liquid diet for 2 weeks prior or just one? Went to Dr. F seminar Wednesday. There was a woman there who had surgery in January. lost 53 so far. I guess it just depends. I see fast weight loss and I see steady. I would choose the steady. Ups and downs would make me nervous. The insurance lady said I can start now since my insurance does cover the test. Barium swallow, heart doc, she said depression can be covered for my pysch eval.

Calling to get it started..... Happy about that..

How is it going? I am doing my 6 month Doc Supervised stuff now. Lola told me my Insurance would definitely require it That puts a possible surgery out to Feb March. Oh Well.... it all happens for a reason. I am just going through the motions now.... Looking at clothes I may be able to fit in one day....airplane seats I can fly comfortable in :confused: Just looking to the future.... Any new insight? do's and don'ts

this week, i've been fitting into clothes that i haven't been able to wear in a few yrs. that's been mind blowing. the scales say i've lost 4 or 5 more lbs. in the past couple of weeks, but my clothes say much much more. i've lost a ton of inches!

i've been walking, swimming laps & biking; not all every day but mostly walking every day and swimming every other day and biking on the weekend. My energy level is still thru the roof most days. i try to remember to chew chew chew; sometimes i forget... i try to move when i can move and walk walk walk like Dr. Fontana told me to. I'm parking farther away from stores so i can walk more. lol hubby says i park in the next county. LOL

That is awesome! any stay away froms as far as foods? Do you think the energy is from the excitemnet of knowing you are finely dropping or actually your mind telling you that you are not tired anymore?

LWB - how is everything? Got an update for us?

Hebber - I did the 6 month diet too - it goes so much faster than you think. In month 4 I did my psyc eval and met with the nutrition - got those out of the way so that as soon as the 6 months was over they could submit to the insurance. Did you decide on a Dr. yet?

i went for my first fill on friday and I lost 11 lbs since last month's visit, so he said i don't need a fill. i'm doing great

and feel even better. the energy is from not being weighed down and having enough protein!

Donna, The 6 month delay was a bit of a downer. I hope it goes as fast. Did your doc document everything...exercise and such? My doc is not big on details. He know my mind has been made up and he agrees. Just hoping the insurance company does not have a problem if the doc does not have the detail. He wrote me a prescrip for that fat blocker med. I heard it can be pretty ugly if you eat any saturated fats. Not sure if anyone else has tried the stuff...

Good luck Donnajade!!!! Keep us all posted....the good bad and ugly ..........
