Wow! That's awesome!
I to have tried more praying lately when I was stressed before the surgery & have been walking since the band.
I was craving peanut butter earlier & I was reason why I should be able to have it - it's smooth, & soft & no chewing needed - etc. LOL... I started walking & it did help.
I will try to find the book.
Thanks again!!

Darkling! it's good to hear from you! So you're banded now - that's great! I've been away from the board for about a week or so and I've missed it. So glad you are posting - hope you are feeling okay.
I've been a very bad girl this past week. Stressed so hard getting the house ready for Thanksgiving and everyone coming and getting the food ready and all the running around done - got to get back to business this week! That's why I came back to the board -for encouragement.
Love this place...

Hi DFW, I am getting banded 12/06/07 at Southwest Surgical Center in Hurst by Dr Robert Snow. Doing fine on the liquid diet. occasional hunger but nothing bad. I guess I am so hyped to get the band I already don't care about eating. (hmmm, there goes that mental part!)

| I am also going to Dr. Snow on 1/04/07 am kinda nervous, but I feel very comfortable with Dr. Snow. Can't wait till the first 10 weeks are over. Doing alot of research on this and I know what not to do. I am self pay and I understand why only paying 7500.00 in Mexico is a bad thing | |

| You sound in the same boat I am in, doesn't look like you have much weight to lose, I have about 70 to 85 to lose and my ins. won't cover unless I have 40 or over BMI. I don't really want to wait that long!!! That is why I am self pay. Is Dr. Marsden in the same office complex as Snow. Good Luck by the way I hope everythig goes well. | |

By the time you read this, you will probably be banded. The nerves will settle. I understand how it is easy to think something will go wrong, but the other shoe will not drop. You are on your way. Dr. Marsden is wonderful and his nurses are great. They understand the experience and treat you with respect with all questions and concerns.
Good luck and let us know how you are doing post op.

Dr. Snow is a good guy. My banding went just fine. I am sure you will be pleased. He uses the newer band also.
