(((((((((((((((LEVI)))))))))))))))))))) Oh my goodness I am so happy to read your post this morning. I am so glad you are doing so well. You really do help us preops who have not traveled down the road to the loosiers side yet. I am having a hard time with my hip and leg because I got over excited working out at Curves. My sugar was up and I knew the best way to get it down was with excersie so I went for it full steam ahead. I have so much to do before surgery. Fortunatly my husband is taking three weeks off to help me after surgery. Pray for me that I get to surgery on August 1st.                                                                          Annie

(((((((((((((((((((Levi))))))))))))))))))))))Is in the house and he's rocking it!!! I have so missed your posts and I am simply thrilled that your recovery is so smooth. Prayers , Faith and Attitude can battle anything! You are blessed and doing awesome. Can't wait to see the lbs just waste away! Have blessed weekend. Remind Tanya- NO PIZZA in the house!!! That's what redlights are for!!! LOL! Sheila

Sheila, I too, am a patient of Dr. B's.  I am awaiting  for a day to be scheduled for my LapBand Surgery.  You have done so well.  How long has it taken you to loose the amt. of wt. you have already lost?

  Thanks, Barbara

Barbara- check you email messages thru OH- I have sent you a reply. Thanks, Sheila

Hi Sheila,

  I now have a date for LapBand.  It is 9-14.  I am elated, and anxious to start my new   way of life.  Hopefully things will run smoothly, although I am having difficulty trying to drop weight this month as Dr. Bowman requested.  Any ideas of what to do?  He just said " Try to lose  some weight".

   Thanks,

   Barbara
