flipbarnett 0 Posted December 25, 2007 :rose: My surgery is also January 8th in Nashville. I agree with you, I'm not worried about the new year's resolution. I'm excited about making a goal and keeping the weight off. Merry Christmas to All:clap2: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kcintx 0 Posted December 25, 2007 flip.... I see your goal you set for your weight.. Did the doctor tell you a certain weight or did you decide that? I've heard some talk about the 'average' and some told by their doctor a certain weight they will achieve. I want to be realistic here, but 175# sounds great to me.. currently 365, medium frame- I've been told, 5'9" . so I'm anxious to hear if they will tell me a weight that is reasonable. I don't want to set myself up for failure if I can't realistically get there to begin with Merry Christmas all.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
saleel22 0 Posted December 26, 2007 Hi all, I am being banded on the 16th January and I am nervous and very excited at the same time. It has been hard not telling anyone other than my husband as I don't want people asking me every 5 minutes how much weight I have lost and if I can eat that on my "diet". I bet you have all been there before as well. Ithink I want to make sure it works for me before I say any thing to other people. Good luck to every one(including me).

RedTulips3 0 Posted December 26, 2007 Hey fellow Jan. 08 Bandsters! Come on over to the Monthly Lapband support forum just for January Bandsters. It's a place just for our month where we can share our experiences with those who are getting the band around the same time! Looking forward to seeing you there. There's a poll that's closing tomorrow night to vote on our "group name" so come and vote! Looking forward to seeing you there!
