  9. The people that judge u are jealous!

  11. I too wandered the same thing. I lost 50 pounds by starving myself and I still did not get below 200. I gained back sixty. Nothing fits. I need this for a tool in order to live longer and be healthy for my children. I want to run and play with my kids instead of sitting on the bench watching. I want to skate with the kids. I want to be the happy person that is trapped inside this huge body. I want to stop being the pretty fat girl and to stop hiding behind my own fat jokes. I have to have the surgery in order to live life!
  12. Went to gastro had scope and biopsy done just waiting to follow up with the doctor. Insurance is a nightmare!
  13. Can't wait to stop taking depression medication and to hopefully jump start my thyroid so I don't have to take medication for it.
  14. I have been reading to bring lip balm, small pillow to hold ur stomach, socks to keep ur feet warm.
  15. I am so ready. I have a follow up next week then pre op on April 10th, but I hope I can get the doctor to move the date closer since I don't have to deal with insurance drama.
  16. Hi I am Kim. I am going to be sleeved on April 30th here in Dallas Texas by Dr.Kim. I am hoping they up the date a week or two after my follow up with the doctor next week. I am ready to join the loser bench.
  17. I am ready to shred my Lane Bryant and Avenue cards!!!
  18. You look great! Congratulations! Your success helps me know that it is possible......
  19. My throat is so sore! Hurts to swallow. Go next week to follow up with Dr.Kim. Hope we move my surgery date closer. I am ready to begin my journey. Kim
  20. I feel blessed as well. I am not on the loser bench yet but I will be on April 30th. Good luck to you. Kim
