Tadpole Posted June 19, 2008 Report Posted June 19, 2008 :lb12: I have emailed Lori and told her I am going to go through with it. Everything I have read is so encouraging. I don't think there is anyone out there that hasn't had positive results. I just want to be happy and healthy again. Having a HOT BODY is an added benifit!!!! LOL Trudy

Will T Posted June 20, 2008 Report Posted June 20, 2008 will can vote "aye" on hot bodies! Now that you are ready, and are 100% positive of your decision, your success is only days away. Remember it's not immediate, it's a day at a time... a victory at a time..... a dress size at a time (unless you are a male). It's a daily success story, and you are going to be victorious!! Excelsior!!!

julieburns Posted June 20, 2008 Report Posted June 20, 2008 Yahoo for you...You won't regret I promise you. I went to the OCC by myself from home and NEVER felt unsafe or at all uneasy. I met some wonderful people the morning of my surgery whom I hope to be friends with for a long time to come. There is an instant feeling of bonding with others who "banding" also!!! I am only 15 days post-op so it's still quite new to me. I didn't even stay overnight at the clinic I felt able to go back to the hotel that night. I even changed my plane trip to come home the next day instead of staying 1 more day. I am a very big WIMP when it comes to any sort stuff that might hurt. So to say the least I was pleasantly surprised with my recovery. Welcome to this forum and just read everything you can on it and all your questions will probably be answered, if not just ask. Good luck on your new journey ahead. =D>
Paula Bee Posted June 20, 2008 Report Posted June 20, 2008 Yay! Good for you! I will look forward to your progress! Welcome to the world of no regrets...
C1BandedBabe Posted June 20, 2008 Report Posted June 20, 2008 Great decision Trudy! This will probably be one of the best decisions you will make for yourself! Good luck!
momonamission Posted June 20, 2008 Report Posted June 20, 2008 You will not regret it. Look forward and keep on trucking. You might want to limit who you tell because you WILL get alot of flack. I did tell when I got back. Then people were more supportive. Dawn
Guest sdejong Posted June 20, 2008 Report Posted June 20, 2008 Trudy Congrats... =D> I know it is a big step but we will all be here for you.... I get banded in 12 days and I know that you will second guess yourself until the day you go but it will be the best thing... MY mom was banded almost 2 years ago and I can't imagine waiting as long as she did to get banded. She has her life back... shy
thesuse Posted June 20, 2008 Report Posted June 20, 2008 Congratulations on your decision! Once I found out that there was a safe and affordable way for me to get the lap band I scheduled immediately. I get banded next Tuesday - can't wait for it to be done! This will be one of the most important decisions you ever make.
Caroline Posted June 20, 2008 Report Posted June 20, 2008 Congrats, Dr. O told me after I got the band I would only be losing the weight one more time. That was worth all the money in the world. No more yo yo! Welcome to a supportive forum and a new way of life.
pieinsky Posted June 20, 2008 Report Posted June 20, 2008 i tried to add the ticker tape, but it doesn't seem to have worked 19 days until surgery! i start my pre-surgical diet this sat. i love reading about everyone's successes. it is so encouraging.
