georgia girl 35 Posted November 2, 2007 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! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jbrad71629 2 Posted November 2, 2007 <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> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
georgia girl 35 Posted November 5, 2007 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!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
renewedhope 4 Posted November 5, 2007 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kissmygrits 0 Posted November 8, 2007 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! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
renewedhope 4 Posted November 8, 2007 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!

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!

georgia girl 35 Posted November 9, 2007 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
