Entries for May 2008

Hello Blogger!!

My name is Renada and I am 27 years old I have been obest for about 10 years know. I have read a lot about the LAP-BAND^® surgery and find it a little better that the gastric surgery. i am very scared and I know this is not a drug or a mirical. this surgery will help regulate the amount of intake of foo.

And I understand that, I am just tired of the yo-yo diets. I have speat countless amount of money on Slim and Six, Yoga booty ballet, Eat more and lose...

I need all the advise I can get. I'm having surgey (LAP-BAND^®) on June 9, 2008.. New to this site... ANY ADVISE WOULD BE HELPFUL...

Okay i went on monday up to Frankfurt to see Dr. Weiner. I spent an hour in his waiting room. When it was my turn my appt. was like seriously 10 min. He just asked me which WLS i wanted. I told him the LAP-BAND^®, he said that he liked to do them on higher BMI then mine(what 40 isn't good enough) But i told him i was sure that this was the right choice for me and so no more was said. He just asked me when i wanted to do it. We settled on June 27th 2008. So it looks like ill be a jazzy...

I finally got my approval for my LAP-BAND^® for my insurance company today, I already had my initial doc appointment, I would like some of the side affects, do you get sick, I hear a lot about food getting stuck, what happens when food get stuck? do you have to throw up, I am trying to get as much information as possible the pros and cons from people who have actually had the surgery

starting weight: 295

Well, I'm going down again albeit slowly. I knew the day would come to were I would actually have to use the band as the tool it was meant to be. Up until 6 weeks or so ago I didn't really have to even try to lose weight. Now I'm having to track my diet and actually concider exercise. Thank goodness the good weather is here and I garden a lot. I also found my favorite palates tape that I need to start doing again.
Anyway, just a quick check...
