I have some great scale news and want to Celebrate. So, my highest weight ever was 299 lbs. Today, 2 big things happened. I have lost 100 lbs and I have also entered into ONDERLAND!! Funny that the numbers work out that way, but they do! It feels really good to have a 1 as the first digit in my weight!
I hope everyone else is doing great, too!!

Also, I meant those were just the requirements for that particular hospital. Every hospital is different. But that webinar is great anyway.. I recommend you watch!

The first thing you should do is to contact your insurance company and see if they cover the surgery. If they do, then I would choose a primary care doctor and make an appointment. Actually, you should do that anyway, even if they don't cover the surgery because it sounds like you should get a physical. Talk to your doctor about the surgery and see what he says. Since he won't know you yet, he may ask to see you again before he will refer you to a surgeon. Mine did that because I had only been to her once about 2 years prior because I hurt my shoulder in a car accident. So she wanted to see me in 6 weeks, then 12 weeks, to see how I was doing and show that I was committed to life style changes (because you will be making a LOT of lifestyle changes with this surgery).
The hospital my doc referred me to does seminars about the surgery and you must attend two before starting the process. You can watch the "webinar" that will count as one. There is some good info on it if you want to watch... www.bidmc.org/wls. Click on "webinar on weight loss surgery" on the left side bar.
You should do as much research as you can before you decide this is the surgery for you. Good luck!

I'm sorry you are feeling down. I've been dealing with depression for over a year now and it's no fun. In November I finally sought counseling and in December I started taking anti-depressants. It might be something worth looking into for you. Maybe ask your doc for a referral or contact a counseling center that accepts your insurance. It sounds like you could use someone to talk to. Good luck!

This may sound awful, but when I'm skinny I would love to be able to attract a sugar daddy who will pay for any and all the plastic surgery I want... 'cause I sure has hell can't afford it!
Then, I would love to go to a nude beach and be comfortable!

My understanding is that you should eat chewable, as opposed to Gummy, because they will dissolve and not get stuck. A gummy Vitamin can be like eating a gummy bear... may not go down easily. But everyone is different and it may also depend on your level of restriction. I personally use Flintstone Vitamins. I like the taste and they go down just fine.

I had my appointment today and it totally wasn't bad at all!!! I'm so relieved! I told my surgeon that I was scared of him and he laughed and said that wasn't the first time he heard that. I told him I fell off the wagon and he said the good thing about lap band is that if you fall off, you can fall right back on again.
Ahhhh... so relieved. And I got my fill.. another 1.75cc. I'm not sure how much restriction I have yet because I'm supposed to do full liquids for 3 days and then mushies for 3 days, so I'll have to wait and see.
Also, before my appointment in Boston today, I walked about 4.5 miles on the Charles river. It was cold and windy, but I did it.
Thanks for all your support everybody!

Oh also, if you're looking for something other than choc. shakes, I've been drinking Syntrax Nectar Protein. It's made out of whey protein isolate (my nutritionist said that's the best kind) and it's 100 cal., 0 carb, and 23 g. protein per scoop. I like the Roadside Lemonade and the Pink Grapefruit flavors. I bought them at Vitamin Shoppe and you can return them there if you don't like the taste. I tried the vanilla Torte which was nasty, and the Fuzzy Navel which was too peachy for me. Good Luck!

I would've told the bitch-- that would've shut her up, lol.
