I WISH my husband wanted to do that - sorry for too much info for the people on here that know me, but I actually just recently had relations with my hubby after like 2 years - he is on high blood pressure medicine that makes him not even interested - he now says we are good for another 2 years. That we are too fat to enjoy it - Not me buddy - but do you give up a 27yr relationship over sex? Unfortunately he is my best friend - so the answer is no.

I am still awaiting my final appointment for my dr supervised diet. I am a little stressed because they just had me continue doing weight watchers..which I have been up and down on and thats how each month is. The first month I lost...next gained...next lost..next gained..and we will see how it works this time. I am up and down like that with weight watchers which is why I want lap band to use as a tool. I know it's not a quick fix and I will have to work my ass off..like I do with weight watchers. I have PCOS and anyone who knows anything about it, knows it makes losing weight on your own a b*tch. I am limited on the amount of exercise I can do due to severe arthritis in my knee and needed knee surgery (no cartilage left..strictly bone on bone). I do what I can, but fail to see results. I hope this wont affect insurance accepting..On to my vent..
Last night was our weight watchers meeting...i LOVE my weight watchers leader..she is great. Well last night we were discussing celebs who have lost weight and how they have done it. One celeb was mentioned and someone said yeah well she had that weight loss surgery, she took the easy way out...and i got PISSED. From what I have read and researched,..that isnt a dang thing easy about this..its not an easy way out because i know i will have to work for it just as I am now..if not harder. People who think it's an easy way out irritate me. If I could do it on my own, if I wasnt 29 years old, 6'2 and 407 lbs and could do this on my own..the last place I would be would be in my doctor's office begging for weight loss surgery because if I stay this way all I will be looking at is the ground because I will die..plain and simple..I will die. This isnt an option..this wasnt an easy decision..i HAVE to do this..I have to live..I have to be able to sit in an airplane seat comfortably and not be all on the next person..i have to be able to ride a roller coaster because I never have..I can't fit...I have to be able to have a family and see them grow..None of this is easy..NONE of it. Anyone who thinks it is are just nuts.
Ok I feel better 13 Days til my last appointment.

I just noticed that you too visit Dr. Ray. As you are already aware, he and his staff are the best! Good Luck and congrats

Here is my Gus and Noelle/.

Thanks for the advice. I weigh in today. If I didn't have a problem sticking with a diet, I wouldn't be here. As of today now, I've lost 18 pounds and I'm feeling pretty good about my weight loss even though I cheated a couple times. I'm so excited, my surgery is scheduled for tomorrow!

Wow! That is awesome. You have done wonderful - you are beautiful in both...

aswaffor....You GO girl! You are a very pretty woman! Yay!

Okay - I have added my picture - this was taken 2 yrs ago for work - I have probably gained 20lbs since then.

I was at a wedding on Saturday. It was a 5 course meal and I tried a taste of everything including dessert. While the others were chowing down I was moving the food around my plate and taking a small bite here and there. No one even noticed.
I found that the urge to eat everything on my plate had disappeared.
Love my band for helping me to be satisfied with small portions.
Got on the scale this morning to find I had lost a pound!

Just got back from my 2 week post op appointment. Starting weight 220, and today I am 197! Very excited! Can add eggs and fat free yogurt to diet. tuna next week. But I'm pretty fine. Tonight for dinner I'm going to make the best Omelette ever!! Lol.

Just got thru surgery last night, Nov 2....so I did end up staying the night in hospital. So far since home 11am on to now 4pm, I have downed about 35 oz including 30 grams of Protein. No gas pains, 6 cuts, largest 1.5 inches it looks like. More sore if I move in getting up or down, walking fine. Sugar count was high after surgery but fine now. Good to be on the other side......

I am getting my band on November 8th, and what an emotional roller coaster I have been on for the last couple of weeks! I just want to get this done already. As sure as I am that this is the right decision for me, it has not been an easy one to make. I am so excited for all the changes to come, but I am so scared of giving up my security blanket (food). Just sitting here writing this has brought up feelings of excitement, fear, sadness, nervousness...these feelings are wearing me out. Thursday cannot some soon enough!!!

6 months of classes finished - Final Review finished - Paperwork off to the insurance and Surgery scheduled for Nov 27th. I am looking forward to finally getting this done. My family (husband, mom, mother-in-law, son) are still against me getting this surgery - I hope it is not a big mistake - My BMI is 42.6 but no big health issues yet. I am compromising by having the surgery done at the hospital instead of the surgery center. Good Luck on all the other Nov 2012 Bandsters! - Alicia

I will be banded on Nov 2!

My year anniversary is 11-30, down 96 and at a slump...probably emotional. Opted not to
do Thanksgiving with family last year, stayed home and had Soup. Wishing all of you
great success in your new life. Just remember....it/band is only a tool to help you learn
how to live a new lifestyle.
Good Luck
