  2. Ok...dont laugh at me but... My husband took a stab at doing laundry to help me out and bless his heart, he didnt do the pocket check, and let a blue ink pen in the wash. Needless to say, any cute summer clothes I had, I no longer have..lol I only had a few pairs of shorts, some capris and about 5 shirts for summer.. So..If anyone would be willing to donate summer/athletic style clothes, I desperately need them. Due to saving for my surgery, I can not run out and buy more. In jeans, shorts, and capris, I am a size 20 tall (or regular if they are like a 33-34 inch inseam) Shirts, I am a 2x, xxl, 18/20 I would LOVE to have athletic clothes that no longer fit, if you dont mind handing them down. Please email me for my address at baileybreigh86@gmail.com PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE help me out if you can.. I can not afford to pay alot, I can possibly pay for shipping...Please keep that in mind!

  4. The feeling of excitement will usually just last a day. I normally am a hard sleeper, it takes a lot to wake me up, but lately its like the slightest movement or sound can wake me right up,

  6. Oh how I wish...but No...lol My cycle started about 3 days ago. The reason I am having this surgery is to be able to get pregnant though. I have been told that being overweight by 80lbs has caused me to be infertile... =(
  7. I have recently been experiencing some things and I was just wondering if anyone could help me out?! Some days, when I wake up, I am sooooo tired. I cant get motivated to do anything at all. All I want to do is lay around and do absolutely nothing. But then theres day, Like today, where I feel like I have so much excitement inside, like I need to go out and do something but I dont know what to do. My house is spotless, I work in my garden alot, and go outside for a while and im active, then I come inside and its like Now what? Im assuming its hormones..maybe Im depressed...I dont know. My husband, God love him, just does with it. He doesnt complain. I am only 24, is this something someone else has gone through? I hope so...maybe its not just me that crazy... HELP! =D
  8. I need clothes..Im down a few sizes. I was in a size 22..Im down to a 20 now. IF someone wants to get rid of jeans, dresses, spring summer tops...Im willing to take it from you! Keep in mind though, I can not pay alot due to having to save up for my surgery. So I need 18/20 in clothes, 36DD in bras! PLEASE help me out! Email me for my address if you are going to send me things! BaileyBreigh86@gmail.com
  9. I told them I wanted to have my surgery ASAP. So, I said whatever we gotta do, lets do it! They said that I wasnt big enough for a psych eval or a 6 week diet like he would usually require. He just wanted me to do a one week diet, the 7 days prior to the surgery date. The insurance co was only requiring bmi of 40 or no lower than 35 for the last 5 years. The Dr im using said the average patient that comes in for the consultation has their surgery 4-6 afterwards. BTW, I had an email from the insurance lady this afternoon, and it said she had tried calling me and left 2 voicemails. I know that is not true, because I can check my voicemail online, and I can search up to one year history, and there was no message. Im hoping they just dialed the wrong number and shes not lying..lol I trust these people. This DR has the highest ratings in this area. I just love him to death, hes great! His name is George Merriman in Shreveport, LA.
  10. Hey everyone... I have been patiently waiting on a phone call with a surgery date. Heres my time line March 23 - Met the DR, talked about which surgery was best for me...Decided on the Lap Band! March 30 - Had my 5 year weight history faxed to my drs office. April 4 - Met with nutritionist, got the food for my one week presurgery diet At my appt on the 23rd, the insurance lady said once the 5 year history was sent to the insurance company, it usually takes 3-4 weeks for a response. I have called 2-3 times in the last 2 weeks, trying to find out if the records faxed was enough info, I still have not received a return call. Im starting to get aggravated because they wont return my calls. I have UHC. How long did it take for anyone else?
  11. Hey everybody! I am in the process of trying to have the LapBand! I just found out the amount I am going to have to get financed, and how much i will have to put down. It has been a nightmare for me. I am starting to get discouraged. My husband and I have applied for 3-5 surgery loans and have been denied by all. Our credit is just not good enough. We are just starting out. Im 24, almost 25, and we have been married since I was 19. I am trying to have this surgery so that we can have a baby! We want one badly, but I want to take care of myself, and my health problems first. I need advice on what to do...We cant get a loan. The hospital said they will finance the 20% insurance will not cover, but that still leaves me with almost $1500 to pay down, for the deductible, and support group costs.
