Yep, I enjoy reading your posts too. U funny!! Good luck on your journey to a happier, healthier you. IT IS SO WORTH IT AND SO ARE YOU!!! Deb

I have BCBS Fed and had my surgery last Aug. I was initially approved for the lapband,( by another surgeon, a real a**hole) but decided at the last moment not to get it once I heard about the sleeve (from another surgeon.) I thought at first.... oh since I was already approved for one procedure it should not take long to approve me for another one. That's not quite how it worked out, but I was eventually approved for the sleeve. Good luck, becuz you will LOVE YOUR SLEEVE!!!!!

Yes,it is very common to gain weight from the fluids after surgery. Don't trip the weight will soon be falling off of you. Good luck!!! Deb

WTG!!!! You look fantastic, I love peeps before and during pics. They are soooo inspiring!!!! Keep it up and YOU WILL REACH GOAL Much respect. Deb

CONGRATZ :D :D. Wonderful news. We are all looking forward to more updates and more ultrasounds. Are you gonna get the 3 or 4D ultrasounds? I bet your son is happy too. He's gonna be a big brother now. That's alot of responsibility. They act like they don't care, but they love it. Good luck and best wishes on a healthy and happy pregnancy. God bless. Deb

Baby girl.... they are called haters ;-( Unfortunately they are our friends and you think they would be happy for us, but they are not. They are jealous instead. You can either say something to them or let it roll off your back. Deb

Ohh Heather, I am soooo sorry. Baby girl... when I was reading your post I almost started crying myself. Hugs. Hopefully in a couple more weeks you will have a new surgery date. {{{HUGS}}} Deb

ALL THE BEST BELLAH!!!! You are right, you are in God's hands. God bless and we will see you on the loser's bench!! Deb

BBJ....OMG. DANG GIRL......you look amazing. I am truly impressed. EXCELLENT JOB. You are an inspiration for sure!!!!! Deb

WOW!!! I am 7 months out I had my first Marqarita at Chili's yesterday and I had about 5 sips and could not drink anymore. I felt the effects immediately. However, I was never a BIG drinker anyway, so that might account for it hitting me as hard as it did. Good luck!!!! Deb

You go girl If you're HOT and someone else knows it..... CLAP YOUR HANDS!!! You better start clapping. I love this one.

Welcome, Dianne. You will LOVE YOUR SLEEVE!!!!! Deb

Three cheers for being obese. LOL. Seriously congratz on the weight loss!!! Deb

Congratz baby girl. Welcome to the family!!!! Deb.

CONGRATZ Deb

Sending happy thoughts and blessings your way. Good luck and best wishes on Monday. Deb

I totally agree. Enjoy it while it last. There is a 6 month window where you should lose the most weight that u can becuz later it gets harder and harder. Sometimes I long for the early days. Deb

Yeah.... I asked my surgeon about me keeping my stomach and them making a DVD of the surgery. No to both requests. They stated bio hazardous waste and the hospital has to throw it away. Deb

Welcome Randy My decision to get the sleeve is one of the best decisions I ever made. Once you get yours I am sure you will agree. We offer alot of support here, so feel free to post a question and someone will have an answer. There is a Man's Room forum you might want to check out. Good luck and again welcome. Deb

Goodness gracious. Here's hoping for a speedy recovery. Are in the hospital or at home? Please keep us informed. Deb.

Baby girl I know what you speak up. Don't get me wrong. For my age i look pretty good. But to ME my face has change. Some for the better some for the worst. The worst being I see laugh lines that I NEVER had before and I have a freaking turkey neck. On the plus I have beautiful eyes. Boobs, butt and arms.... well don't get me started. My boyfriend doesn't seem to mind, except maybe for the butt. LOL. Saving money now to fix what I can. Boyfriend says he will not help becuz I will probably leave him when everything is fix. He he!!!! Deb

Congratz Kathy on the awesome weight loss. I think I know exactly how you feel. Keep up the excellent work and you will be at GOAL before you know it. Deb

Tiff, I bought Garnier Gravity Defying Cream. I hope it works!!!!!!
