Miss Carol 15lbs is awsome! Congrats!

You do look great!! Thank you for sharing

My doctor requires the diet to shrink the liver. I am planning to go to a super buffet for my last meal.

Hardy! shopping the next day!? wow! does everyone experience this kind of recovery?

WOW Luvinke that sounds easy. I have to do the liquids; shakes, yogurt, Soups and the day before the surgery Clear liquids. I did one of my Denise Austin's video today. It is also recomended by by doctor to exercise before the surgery

Congratulations on both!! Those are huge accomplishments

I agree, I am not waiting that long

Oh! my brother in law lives in loganville!

That is what I told my husband whos worried that after I have the surgery our medical insurance will start to cover the surgery and my answer to that is by then I will have lost weight and feeling so good I wont care

2 weeks of liquids for me. Starting June 12.

I finally have a surgery date!! June 26th. As all the loans I found or applied for were not for me or I got denied. I got a low interest credit card and I am treating it like a loan and plan to pay it off ASAP. Next will be the plastic surgery bill.

Oh I love them. I got a DVD to open a franchise because there are no BL near by and even curves is too far away. But I don't have the money or the time to do it right now. I still plan to do it some day. It look wonderful on the dvd.

hello I am from Gainesville, GA I have not had the surgery yet. I was having trouble finding a way to pay. I have found a way. I still have to hear from the bank to make sure all is well and schedule the surgery.

My doctor said the same 2 yrs. I would not want to wait that long

Capital one health offered me a 16% interest. I cannot do that. The low interest rate is if you can pay it in less than 2 yrs.

92 lbs in a year is also awsome! Go girl! If I can ever find a loan with a low interest rate(very sad about it). I hope to share in such amazing results.

Mexico is too complicated for me I already looked into it. My daughters won't stay with anybody which means I have to bring them with me along with my parents to watch them and that is plane tickets and hotel and food and hours on a plane. I want to have surgery and go to my bed and rest and I rather have a local doctor that I can go to and knows me. My doctor is a very reputable doctor, I cannot tell you how many lap bands he has done but he was an apprentice to one of the first gastric bypass doctors back in the 70's and they put their patients through the ringer with classes and nutritionists, support groups and writing a letter of understanding etc.... before he does the surgery.

14,500.00$

Thank you all. My credit is good but I stay at home and that is not considered a job. the interest with capitalone medical loans is 16.99 way to high. Bank of America only approved me for 10,000.00. Capital one's personal loans are better but by invitation only, I mailed them a letter asking them to invite me. I am hoping to consolidate my student loan and credit card alongwith the surgery ( 14,500.00 for the surgery) I need 23,000.00 to cover all three. or just find a super low interest medical loan. I will keep you all updated. Again, thank you for all your help.

Thank you. I will look into this

:think :think :think :think :think I am looking for a loan and because I am a stay at home mom and don't make a lot of money I am not fiding any loans that I can afford. My plan was to get a personal loan and add to it my school loan and credit card along with the surgery and have one payment. My husband filed for bankrupt a couple of years before we met and still recovering. I feel like someone has given me a sentence to be overweight forever. I feel like my dreams of loosing the weight have been taken from me. I cannot stop crying, my eyes are blood red and swollen. My husband says to have faith that something is bound to happen. The quantity of money I need is not going to drop from the sky. This sucks! I should have looked into the money before going forward with the surgery process. I have made plans accordingly, I have tasted Proteins, I even subscribed to WLS magazine. :think :think :think

It is amazing the amount of weight you have lost in a year. I told the psychologist that my goal for the first year is to loose 72 lbs and he thought it is unrealistic if he hears about you he'll fall flat on his tushie. How have you lost all that weight in a year?

I found this thread today. Julie you are so inspiring! I hope you are feeling better.

Puddin: WOW! what a transformation. Very Cool! On Oprah: Carnie Wilson talked about her alchoholism and she has been sober for 2 yrs, another lady is also drinking a lot and does not think she has a problem and her family is suffering a lot and I could not finish watching the lady that became addicted to sex.

Oprahs show is about weight loss surgery and what happens emotionally after.
