Jeannie,

Wow, only 2 weeks away from getting the band! Have you found the Sugar Buster Diet pretty easy to follow? I have had such a great experience with Dr. Bagnato's office and I really like the nurse at the Obesity Clinic who did my fill. She was great about answering any questions I had and taking up a lot of time talking with me about how things are going. Keep up the good work!

<p>Pamela</p> <p> Sugar Busters is not too bad. I think it is something i will be able to stick to fairly easy. I love all the people at Dr Bagnatos office they have all been super helpful. Take care and keep us posted on how it is going for you.</p>

Renewedhope,

How did the adoption go today? Did you get the 2 week old baby yet?

Just excited for you and wondering how you're doing!!

The adoption is final. He is officially our littly boy (although he's been ours for months). Such a wonderful feeling. The 2 week old is not coming until Thursday morning at 11am. The CPS worker is unable to bring him today. This is really good. Now I can just enjoy today and our adoption of Dylan.

I am doing better as far as eating. I have gotten back on track. Hope things are going well for you too.

Congrats on the adoption! I am so happy for you! I'm glad to hear things are going good for you. I had my fill last thursday and I started eating solid foods on Sunday and I have no restriction. I go back on the 15th for another fill, so hopefully I will have restriction soon. Congratulations again and keep us posted about the baby that's coming on thursday. Good Luck and God Bless!

hi folks! I just wanted to introduce myself. I just got insurance approval for Lap Band today after a very long wait (my paperwork didn't get submitted right the first time). I'm so excited!!!:whoo:

I'm getting banded by Dr. Lin at Emory/Crawford Long in Atlanta. I don't have a sugery date yet, but I'm hoping it's before the end of the year.

I have PCOS too and considered just treating that condition surgically-- but was told cysts would return unless I treated the underlying condition...the weight/metabolic syndrome. I'm hoping that one day I will be free of extra weight and cysts!!! :clap2:

Good to meet you all!

[renewedhope 4]

great to meat you, kiss. I also have PCOS and can't wait to kick it. I have allready started having more normal cycles after only losing 25 pounds. That may be TMI for most everyone but us PCOSers understand the significance. Just bear with us!!LOL

You will find lots of great support here!! Welcome!

Hi Kissmygrits! Congratulations on your insurance approval. I too have PCOS. Like renewedhope, I'm having regular cycles as well. It's amazing what a little weight loss can do. Just think how much better it will be when we lose it all! Congratulations agains and keep us posted!

Hi everyone!

I told all of you that I had a fill on the 1st and I was feeling no restriction at all. Well today, for whatever reason, I felt it. I've heard others say that it can take a coulple of weeks to kick in. I'm not sure if it was a freak thing or if I'm feeling restriction now. At least I'm feeling something, I was beginning to wonder if it was really in there.
