Way to go!!! I am happy for you.

Hi HopeandFaith, Im right there with you since I have looked into this surgery option one day im doing it will be okay.Tthe next i can just do it on my own, I have to still do the work. I think, can i spend that money on me when my family may need it on a rainy day. But then i feel its a rainy day everyday when i weigh this much. My thoughts are do to it in early February now changing to March I might just keep putting it off. I think things will change once the holidays are over so i can focus and not have something on the back burner. I m kinda glad Im self pay so when i do decide i can set it up quickly. Good luck with insurance may things go smoothly and rather quickly for you. Keep your dream alive til then. Eloray

YEAH FOR YOU!!!! THAT DEFINATELY DESEVERVES A HAPPY DANCE AND KICK UP YOUR HEELS ACTION!! WAY TO GO!!

I m still a researcher but aren't you a due for a stall. Been reading quite a bit it seems everybody has a stall around the 3rd week. I know you need to change things up but try to relax and really try to be patient.. Lol Good luck!!

Hi lisabug, I just wanted to say my two cents worth. First, congrats on your surgery. Second, Sorry your husband is not on your band wagon at the moment. Third is I know this is a time where you would love to think "whatever honey "but I really feel you need to speak to him and set things right with him. Not that I find fault with you. I would just not like to hear later down the line that you do seperate from him and hurt your family. Things I learned in the past year is sometime we need to humble ourselves to our spouse and pray and pray for him/her. Especially when they are not treating us like they should. Also pray for yourself to be able to love him like you want to be love.God bless Eloray

Hi I am in research phase and have read a lot of talk which has been very informative. I was wondering to those maintainers who are 1+ years out are you still enjoying your sleeves, any complications, have you been able to keep the weight off, do manage to become a recovering food addict in a healthy way . I have been dieting for 20+ years and my body is relative healthy no complications(yet) but my mind went after i decided to jump off the dieting crazy train. Its been a year since i have followed any knd of diet plan. I am a mess! I go through a lot of bouts of depression because i can't diet anymore but I can't like myself at this weight. Im scared that even though i will be thinner will I need to "diet diet" or will this tool help you become one with food.
