roxa,,, i will be thinking of you and let me know if it hurts LOL,,, im a big weenie,,, best of luck and thanks for the encourgament,,, u will do great,,,keep me up to date

just got home from my consultation,,,I AM STOKED,,, first of all my insur bcbsil does pay for my surgery,, i have to pay $1500 out of pocket,,, so that was my first YEEEHAAAA,, then i weighed in and yes im a lot heavier than even i thought i was,,235,,, i was shocked,,,sooooo with that said i have my test scheduled for first of nov and surgery in dec,,,, i plan to follow orders to a teee,,,unlike how i never have done before,,i plan to get my life back on track,,start to socialize again (and not have to be food related events either like i use to think they had to be) i want to be able to walk again without getting out of breath,, WANT to go places with my husband instead of not wanting to leave the house,,, i just want the old me back,,its amazing how i have let my weight make me someone im not,,, i was always a social butterfly,,, laughing, making new friends and just enjoying life,,but over the past 2 yrs or so i have sat home eating and being unsocialble,, Yes i know why i have done this and the reason being is i have not worked in almost 3 yrs,,it was by choice and i like being home taking care of things here,,but it has also made me lazy ,, I have thought about getting surgery for a while now and then i woke up one day and said ENOUGH IS ENOUGH,,, so after my consultation today i have started the first day of the rest of my life,, a new me and a new outlook on life and new attitude,,,yaaaah me I can hardly wait til dec thanks each and everyone of you for your support and good thoughts,,,thats one big reason i made this decision,,im not scared any more,,, but on ONE BAD NOTE,,i told a good friend of mine i was doing this and her response was,,"so what are you going to do about all the excess flab that you will have: i told her that if i walk and excrsise that i should not have that,,and her response was : well i will have to see that to believe it,,, She really upset me with her attitude , im guessing she must be really jealous because she too could easily loose 80 lbs,,, i dont understand why ppl have to be that way

roxa i am more determined now than i have ever been,,i have 2 close friends who have had lapband and they look wonderful,, they did fine with theres but one says she does throw up a lot BUT she says she hurries and eats things she knows she is not suppose to,, so she is hurting herself i guess,, OH I DO HAVE ONE MORE QUESTION,, i had someone tell me that if insurance DOES pay for your procedure that if u ever loose that insurance for some reason,,,you are then UNINSURABLE thru any other insurance co,, has anyone ever heard that ? the person i heard this from is not a very reliable person anyway but i dont know whether she knows whats she is talking about anyway or if she is just trying to get me to not get the surgery,,,u know some ppl can be mean and jealous

all you guys are the best,,,, and i was wondering about the saggy skin i might have,, i weigh 225 and hate to excersise or at least now i dont like it,,,maybe after i get my band i will have more energy and feel like taking a walk,,,i sure hope so because now with all this weight on me i dont want to do anything but set on couch and fb with friends,, no i dont work anymore and thats another reason i think i have packed on the lbs is because i have become lazy,,,not even sure now that i could work because the housework i do around here wears me out,,, Agagin thank you all for your support and if you have any more tips for me i would surely appreciate it,,, i will just have to wait and see how my banding works for me. And i pray i dont have any problem with INSURANCE paying for my surgery,,, i go in the morn for my first consultation with true results in dallas,,,,im thinking if insur wont pay for it then i will just have to pay outta pocket BECAUSE IM GONNA HAVE IT DONE come hell or high water LOL,,,,im very determined to do this

thanks yall,,, i feel already a 100% better about this,,, i was getting pretty worried about that,,, guess i have been reading too many negative sites,,, well im going to take this journey prob after the holidays and hopefully in a few months be a lot happier with myself,,, i plan to go by the book of what ever the dr tells me to do,,,im so ready to get some of this weight off and no more being tired and no energy,,,im ready to me a new me thank you all for your support

thanks dylanmiles,, i have got to remember to do that,,chew chew chew,, but i too worry about my meds i take at night,,,crush them?? and can u drink all the water u want?
