Sorry, I often forget to sign off. Well I am 50, would like to lose 85 lbs and am

diabetic x2yrs. I work on the floor not at the desk and some days I wonder why I can't lose weight and keep it off . when I seem to put on so many miles some days!!! I ruptured my achilles tendon, had surg 3 years ago,still have pain, hoping that by losing the weight it will help all my iss...

So glad you are on the road to recovery. I too am a RN and was wondering how long you will be off work.One secretary at work had it done and and was off 3 weeks. Our job is a little more physical so I was wondering how much time off you got.

Take care,Sue

I Am a candidate!!! now it is a waiting game. The md told me it was about a years wait. I have not won the lottery ,so will have to wait. If by chance I come into money, then I will be self pay! Keep up the good work.

Hi Again, I just went back and read your post, if i understand it has been 1yr. plus. and you were banded in 2010. Am still interested how your experience with the lapband has been. Also how did you like Dr. Jette?

Hi FeelingGroovy, it looks like you are doing great. Do you find it hard to do. I think I will have trouble with the having to chew the food alot and I am a fast eater.I have an appointment in april. I can't wait to see if I am a candidate. My GP does not think I will be one, he says I am a "thin" overweight person. If this Dr. does not think I am seriously thinking of going the self pay route.
