  1. You are all an inspiration, truly.
  2. Where are you going to school? I was looking at UNT. I hope to start the program in a year or so.
  3. I will probably have to self-pay, but I keep the deduction in mind. Once you have hit the amount required for the deduction, all of your medical expenses can be written off that year.
  4. I am a teacher and plan on having the surgery over summer break and not even mentioning it to my co-workers. When we come back, I'll say I am on Weight Watchers or something.
  5. Thank you all so much for posting. The whole process is a bit overwhelming. Did you have to see a thearpist or nutrionist in person? What lab tests had to be performed?
  6. Those of you that used Kirshenbaum from out of state, what was the process like? I have no idea what to do first. I have insurance, but think I will be a self-pay.
  7. Those of you that are returning for a fill, do you just stay one night?
  8. Those of you that have traveled from out of state to see Kirshenbaum, how often did you have to go back to Colorado?
  9. I am hoping to be banded this summer. It sounds like yours is working great! May I ask you some questions? How long after you made the decision to be banded, until you actually were banded? Did you have doubts in between? What all testing was required and did insurance cover your surgery? Thanks, Kris
  10. Whoever answered the phone said they would send me a packet of more information.
  11. Brenda, You look great!
  12. What type of pain medicine do they send you home with?
  13. I called his office today and requested a packet.
  14. Same as many of the others Amusement park - without fear Water park - without embarassmnet Skydiving - Buying a pair of tall boots that can actually zip up my calf Family photo Shop in the "regular" size section of a store again!
