Welcome!!!

Welcome!!!

Welcome!!!

Welcome! This is a great message board. We are glad you are here!

Chantix is a wonderful thing. My husband and i both starting taking it together. On the seventh day, you quit...and it is actually that easy. We have been smoke free for several weeks now, and I don't miss it at all!

It was so nice to meet y'all as well. Your daughter is adorable! I am doing ok right now. I am in some pain, but it is manageable. We are getting ready to go out walking around the town. I am sure that will do me wonders. Thanks for asking. It was a great experience, and it wonderful to meet you!

It is 7:17 am and I am getting ready to go to the clinic! I am SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO excited!!!

I did the shake for lunch and breakfast and a lean cuisine for dinner. It was very hard. I felt like I was starving. I don;t know much about your other options though. Good luck with whichever you choose!!!

The reason for the pre-op diet is to make the liver easier to work around. From what I understand, some people don't have to loose weight in the beginning because their BMI is already low.

WAY TO GO!!! Fourteen pounds in one week...that is so awesome!!! Keep up the great work!

=D>

It was so nice to meet you and your family. I am so glad the pre-op is done, and believe it or not, I can't wait to be on the operating table tomorrow! All of the staff at OCC has been awesome so far. Dr. Miranda is wonderful!!! She explained everything so well and was very funny. The staff at the Lucerna has been great too. In fact, the only not so wonderful parts so far were the fasting for the pre-op and the guy on Revolution Avenue selling "real" silver neckles!

I can't wait either! See you there!

Hello Everyone! I am sooooo excited. I leave at 6:00 tomorrow. There will certainly be no sleep in my future tonight!!! See you all on the other side!

Ok y'all...I am having my surgery on Friday. Tell me more about this paper thong???

Thanks Everyone!

Hey Blazn...how did you like the fill center in Roswell? I live in Roswell, so that is where I will be going?

Hey! I am leaving on Thursday, and I am sooooooooo excited!!!

My hubby and I were debating how much cash to bring. Any suggestions???

I'll be there from 5/3 until 6/1...maybe I'll see you there!!!

Thanks for the suggestions and advice everyone. I am so excited!!! I am a teacher, and we only have 1 week left. Between that and the excitement about being banded, time so going so slow! :lb12:

You are not wrong. I called them the government and all you need is a drivers license and a birth certificate!

Hello Everyone! I am being banded on 5/30. What is the one thing that you did not bring when you were banded that you wish you would have had?

I think I am staying at he new hotel. I only draw back I see is that it doesn't have a pool. I don't think I am going to be doing much swimming anyway!

Which one are you thinking about?

Thanks a bunch!!!!

I will be there on the 30th, and i can't wait!!!

Hello Everyone! I am having my surgery on 5/30. I am just starting my pre-op diet, and would like to start one of those ticker things as well. Can anyone tell me how I do that???

Thanks for the help!!!

Lafoon,

I'll see you in TJ on May 30! I arrive late on the 29th so I'll do my pre-op stuff Friday morning.

I saw you are from Roswell, GA. I'm in Nashville, TN. Are you planning to do your fills at Fill Center USA? I think they have an office in Roswell or Norcross. That's what I think I'll do. I can drive down there in about 3 1/2 hours.

Tanya

Yes, I am going to do mine at the one in Roswell! Is that the closest one to you?
