I go by DE all the time. I'm thrilled that you feel so much better, it lets me know hope is around the corner. Thank you for the support...

Yea Philly does not change ha,ha... I live up by hunting park and 9th st. I'm so glad you, as I and everyone else has accepted the challenge to better our health. I i'm starting my appointments on July 21st, so with luck I will be operated in January. I'm so ready for this. Let me know ho that surgery goes, and best wishes for the procedure...

So I'm 25 and weighting 292 pounds. At first I looked at the mirror and actually felt comfortable with myself. I'm asthmatic, so exercising is hard and the pounds kept piling. I went to the doctor a month ago and he send me to do every single test there is. When I went to my second appointment 2 days ago I was shocked. I'm just points away from becoming diabetic and all my cholesterol levels are high, I'm starting to have lower back pains and cramps on the thigh/hip area. The doctor did not think twice and asked me if I was willing to take the lap-band challenge to better my health, I said yes. I will not deny I am really nervous to be starting this process, since I have been heavyset most of my life... I hope is for the best.
