  1. OK call me a newb but what is sliming?:nervous
  2. I prefer to say I was pleasantly plump or big boned as a child . Hated when Mom took me clothes shopping as a young lad in the huskies section LOL. As I hit my teen years I was always big but never had a problem with the ladies though and never realy have had the problem. Yeah there were sometimes certain ones didnt work out and I knew what the reason was but generaly I did well in that area. Like 6 years ago I went from 360 all the way down to 230 and busted my hump to get there. That lasted a whole year , I must say it was a damn great year though LOL. I think all the clubbing and drinking is what put the weight back on. Since 2003 till 2 years ago I floated around 340 untill I quit smoking and bam tack another 30 on to me now:faint:. But like my Doc says I would rather you gain 30 lbs then still be smoking. Man I cant wait to get the Band !
  3. The things I have to look forward to ! I guess the old saying practice makes perfect ! Chew Chew and Chew again !:hungry:
  4. Yeah I am going to call on monday to find out. If not its just a couple days of OT at work to fork the 500$ bill.:tired
  5. Complete KAMA SUTRA book Upside down roller coaster again Not have to goto a restaurant and ask for a table Not be the Fat Cop at work anymore Go swimming and not get harpooned ! Be able to eat less then my 110 lb woman and be full Sky Dive Join the Reserves Not have my gun belt dig into my side and hurt like hell ! Get healthy Run the local 5 mile run in my town Get my pic on the front page of GQ magazine (ok a bit far fetched):nervous
  6. So I just get a phone call......... Need to lose like 25 lbs before the surgery !!! $#%^ing makes sense lose weight to get weight loss surgery ! :faint: It almost seems like they are pushing for gastric and I have had to tell them No a few times already ! I need to get down to 350 ! damn those people !
  7. Yep I call her Sweet T**s :mad: . Its funny because I got her a Nextel and I forget sometimes and I call her it on the walkie talkie while she is at work and all I hear from her is my boss heard you !! But most of the time I just say YES DEAR ! I think pet names are fun and just good ol teasing of each other.:clap2:
  8. Nah insurance is paying but I don't think they are going to cover the BS classes I have to take first.
  9. Woohooo just had my initial surgeon visit today ! Gave me that big checklist of things I need to do :faint:. I cant believe they make you see some psychologist DR . I asked her why and she says its to see if you want this for cosmetic reasons or health reasons. I was like what do you think ......... BOTH and better sex of course .( Wanna finish that Chinese position book :heh: ) Then there are some darn classes I have to take and thats 500 $ out of pocket ! :cry I guess it will all be worth it in the end. Hoping to get my surgery within the next 2 months.
  10. Play his game , get the surgery and leave his arse ! Thats just wrong what he is doing. :angry
  11. Hey Fella's ! I just wanted to say whats up ! I have not been banded yet but I have my 1st appointment with my DR on 2/14 and can't wait to start the process. Any reccomendations on what to do for a headstart would be greatly appreceated ! :attention: PS: 1st man rule of the man thread is that no man shall ridicule any other man in thread for spelling or grammer ! ! :rockon:
  12. Yes please tell me your exercise regiment and what kind of diet are you doing?
  13. Maybe they got confused between Lapband and lapdance ? LOL :biggrin1:
  14. Being a guy it may have been a little different for me. I have always heard the your fat comments like most of us have. The difference is I just knocked them out when I could :heh:. I think the most depressing thing for was about 2 years ago when I was going to go to Iraq with a firefighting government contract and had all my plans set, told everyone I was going and then a week before I was supposed to ship out I get a call from the company telling me I was kicked back due to my BMI being to high ! It was depressing to say the least and just caused me to gain another 20 lbs ! :faint: I cant wait to get banded ! :rockon:
  15. Hello all ! :help: I am looking for a good DR in the central Jersey area. I live near Jersey Shore Medical Center. Obviously the DR does not have to be out of there. I just am not sure where to start to look. Any help would be greatly appreciated :clap2: Thanks Chris
  16. Yup just called the other day myself and was told the 1st. they even told me the page in the new book. I think the page was 40 something.
  17. After lerking for a bit I finaly signed up. Just wanted to say hello. :help: I was wondering if anyone in the Monmouth county are has a good reccomendation on a Dr. to use to get surgery done. Already spoke to my insurance company and they cover it after the 1st :clap2:
