Slim&Sexi

Thanks girls I am positive today but u guys kno how this. See saw can be

Today I had a marathon of Md appts I seen my pcp need to make a few more visits with him before he will clear me, had my echo, and echo stress test. As of today I am cardiac cleared for my LB in November im almost there just 2 months away I can't wait ;-}

I have my appt for my psych test 9/12 and that will also be my 3/4 appts so I'm getting very close to becoming a bander ;-}

Me too cuz I often do feel alone husband an ass and I haven't told any one else about my new journey

@ toad I'm 236 with a 39 bmi and 5' 3" and diabetes type 2. So I really need to loss 80-100 lbs and maybe his 155 lbs I he keeps it up... LOL

Yes yes yes Mss M!ch! My husband never complained about my weight either only when I have loss in the past but now I'm tired of this yoyo weight and my bad health. It's all about us BANDSTERS now if our men won't support us then we will support each other online. And by the way my husband has been the same for the past 20 years. So he's ok with himself. Now is the time I become ok with myself.

Thank you honey I do hope this Is a phase he is going throught rigt now because I have to loss 80-100 lbs and after 20 years I'm ok with losing an extra 155 lbs LoL

Oh wow Juli you have had a rough 3 years. Sorry about your mom, but now its your time to be the star and shine your way to a smooth healthy life. Congrats

Congrats to both of you on your band dates

Hello everyone, I went to my 2nd month appt today with my husband and we meet my surgeon. He was very nice and knowledgable about what he does and what surgery he thought was best for me. He suggested a bypass due to my diabetes. But I told him " that is to drastic and I prefer the banding", so now we are all on the same page as far as surgery. My husband was also involved in the conversation and asking questions he seemed pretty gun hoe with everything as I was, till we got in the car. It was extremely quiet for a while. Then he broke out talking about What he and the kids are going to eat since I can no long eat he figures that I won't be cooking .I was like for real dude??? do you really prefer to be pushing me around in a wheel chair once my feet, legs hands, and arms start getting cut off because of diabetes and I can no longer work. I'm just saying if he can't stand by me then he might just have to stand alone. Because I will finish on top of all this excess weight and diabetes with him or without him. I WILL BE A SUCCESSFUL BANDER FOR LIFE. Did I mention I have been by his side during his illness and now disability for the past 11 year and his 9 surgeries over the past 3 year I feel after running with him to his Dr visits he would be more supportive. I guess NOT. Sorry for my venting but on a brighter note I had my upper GI X-ray today and I loss my 1st 3 lbs and and im on my 2nd wk of chantix so its been 6 days without no cigarette ugghhh. It ok and my Dr wants me to CUT ALL CARBS ASAP !!!! And start a liquid diet for 5 days just to try it out to lower my sugar levels. But I'm 2 months down and 2 more months to go till my banding birthday.

I have just started also, I've been to my 2nd appt already. I have an appt with pcp to get my letter end of August along with my appt with cardiologist, echo, and stress tests. I still need to go see my endocrinologist, I guess to get his ok on my decision. I also have my appt for X-ray the end oh this month. Since I work mon- fri I always try to make a marothon of appts in one day. It seems to work for me since it's a huge medical practice. But let buddy up cuz we all need help gettin started ???„
