I love how positive you've become since you actually had it done .

Don't sweat the psych eval. They just want to make sure that you know what you are getting yourself into and that it's not a quick fix. They also want to make sure that if you are having care for any sort of psych problem that you are compliant with treatment. That's really it. You sound like you're doing both so I wouldn't sweat it at all.

You're doing great!

I have not had my surgery yet but I totally understand where you are coming from. There will always be people who don't agree with your decisions although you know in your heart that it is the best for you. Be true to yourself and you'll never go wrong . Shortly you will be able to go out to eat with them and your new way of living will just become "the norm". You'll do great!

Yay! You're doing great!

Keep it going . Proud of you!

You're not alone. Many people on this site are self pay, including myself. Ive been researching the Lap Band for years and while my surgery is not until September I believe it will be the best money I've ever spent. For the cost of what is essentially a used car these days I cannot fathom not going for it. But everyone has to decide for themselves. Look around, read the posts and forums. Everybody faces some challenge with their band, nothing is perfect.

I would honestly say that maybe you should go by measuring yourself. How do your clothes feel. It's not all about losing weight. If you're working out like mad it could just be your body making muscle.

Why no support from family and friends?

Any news?

Good job! I'm glad it's going so well. It does seem that Mother Nature rears her ugly head when we'd least like her too doesn't she?

I've done Power 90 and it's no joke. It's hard but you can do it. Hang in there and you'll get the hang of it. The only thing I swear I never really improved on was the yoga. I hated the yoga .

Also remember, YOU"VE LOST 50 LBS! Not everybody looses the same and to make yourself sick over someone else's progress is just crazy. You are YOU! You're not her and don't base your self worth or happiness on how well somebody else does. Clebrate your accomplishments and push forward. The vacation is over so just move on and take one day at a time and do you're best.

Sounds like a strange question but are you drinking enough water?
