  1. Puddin, Can you explain the Body Bugg to me? Is it annoying to wear? Do you have to enter all of your foods online at the end of they day? How accurate is it? Thanks!
  2. Wher are you getting lipo?
  3. That's great. You should be proud of all of the hard work you have put in to get to that size.
  4. I am scheduled to report to school for inservice 7 days after my surgery. Do you think that is reasonable?
  5. I just got off the phone, and I have my surgery scheduled for August 8th. I am excited, but scared at the same time.
  6. Thank you. This board and all of the support it offers means the world to me. :clap2:
  7. I have my phone consult with Dr. K tomorrow. I have my fingers crossed.
  8. Puddin, What size do you wear now? You look so tiny!
  9. How long after the initial phone consult were most of you scheduled for surgery?
  10. Thank you Patty. I will mention it at my next appointment.
  11. I have a phone consult with Dr. K on July 13th!
  12. I always feel like my HBP is because of my weight, which I am sure at a minimum doesn't help it. My dad was very heavy and had HBP. But somehow, I tend to blame my BP on my weight more that genetics. But then I see how many of you were around my size and had no real issues with your BP. I don't know if that is a good thing for me or a bad, but it does make me feel less guilty! (I hope that didn't come across as offensive!)
  13. I'm on a med for my BP now, but even with the meds it is around 150/120. I have an appointment next Friday with a doctor I trust a bit more. I'm going to speak with her about the lap-band as well.
  14. :embarassed: Oops! That was supposed to be a schmo - One deficient in judgment and good sense.
  15. I have HBP. It runs up to 190/160 and is one of the main reasons I am having the surgery. My doc is still trying to figure out a med to get it inder control. I am seeking a second opinion next week, because my first doc is a scmo. Anyways, those of you that have had the surgery, what happened with your BP? Did the weight loss help any of you enough to get off the meds.
