  10. Hey anyone from manhattan who goes to st. Lukes
  11. This is driving me crazy. First my doctor left the hospital then i didnt qualify and now that i do i have this damn bacteria in my stomage. I took a treatment to kill it for 2 weeks and then got the test done and it was still positive. So im on different treatment for it now. I hope this helps. I wanted to get sleeve before 2013 but thats didnt happen. Now im hoping for late feb or march. Has anyone had this bacteria?
  12. I cant wait to scratch my back without assistance. Lol
  13. Thanx anyways but this isnt my first choice just in case u were wondering. I done over 15 diets n a crash diet while in boot camp. Nothing has worked.
  14. Well its not that i havent been in the 40 bmi this year is that i got real sick n my weight went down . I was 268 and i whent down to 240 over a month of a bad stomage bacteria. I wasnt even trying to gain before it just creeped up again. So the insurence does kno it not just cuz i wanted to gain it. Ive been obese since i was about 16 so record will back that up im not worried. Anyways better now than in 5 year when i either have high blood pressure or diabetes or even hearth problems .
  15. I just dont want some of the problems my moms got high blood pressure and all that i wanna be able to injoy life
  16. Thank u girls for your worlds u make me feel much better
  17. I so sorry about that but hopefully u found out in time n you will b ok. I feel silly for thinking my problem is big now bcause next to urs mys seems so mall.
  18. If i had the money i would but i cant affort it
  19. I also feel that way like the women in the mirror isnt me. Well i have almost a year in this process n i feel like im standing still while everyone else is having there surgery.. I cant wait. Im so ready for this change.. Do u have kidS? Whats ur bmi
  20. Hey so hows it going where are u up to in the process
  21. He said come back when u qualify. When my bmi is 40. I kno it sounds strange but its hard not to feel sad when u want somehing so much.
  22. So i was suppose to have surgery mid this month but that wasnt going to happen because as i found out mild obtructive sleep apnea doesnt qualify. WHAT! So u want it o get severe. On top of that i had a bmi of 36.5 and no comorbilities yet. Ok so i was about to give up but my friend was like no dont. Ive left the issue b for a few months and my bmi went up to 38.5. So i gained weight. It drives me crazy cuz i have to be in a 40 bmi to get it and im in the middle no comorbility but obese. Damn i feel like trowing in the towel n saying f*ck it but my other side tells me no. I dont kno i feel discouraged.
  23. I asked for a cheese cake snd pudding and multivitamins and calcium chews and also the nectar. I tryed the nectar is good and th calcium chews are really good like candy.
