LOVEMEACB4E

THANKS ALL. I FEEL BETTER NOW. I WILL UPDATE YOU ON THE SITUATION LATER. I FEEL LIKE ALL OF YOU ARE LIKE MY BROTHERS AND SISTER. YALL ARE NICE AND HELPFUL. I AM NO LONGER AFRAID TO ASK ANY QUESTION. BIG HUGS!!!!!!!!!1:banana :smoke

THANKS FOR THE ADVISE. I WORK AT A HOSPITAL AND I SCHEDULE SURGERIES. IF I ACCIDENTLY PUT IN THE WRONG PROCEDURE OR MISPELL A WORD THEY WILL NO IT BECAUSE THE DOCTORS OFFICES CALL BACK QUICKLY. I AM STILL NEW IN THIS DEPARTMENT SO I AM GOING TO MAKE MISTAKES. I DON'T THINK THEY RELIZE THAT. I THINK I WILL TAKE SOME OF YALLS ADVISE AND MAKE THEM A SPECIAL DESERT. :paranoid BUT I WILL MAKE SURE THAT I MAKE MY OWN DESSERT ON THE SIDE.

HEY I JUST RAN PAST YOUR PICTURE. I LOVE THE HIGHLIGHTS. THEY BRING YOUR EYES OUT. THANKS FOR SHARING.

AWESOME! YOU LOOK GREAT! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK AND YOU MAY AND WILL LOOK ABOUT 16 YEARS OLD.:guess

NEW GIRL OCT 6TH 2004 ANYONE HAD LAP BAND IN THE LAST 3 MONTHS? IF SO I WOULD LIKE TO BE YOUR BUDDY. I THINK I AM STARTING TO GET NERVOUS ABOUT MY SURGERY. I AM SO AFRAID OF THE SIDE EFFECTS. I AM AFRAID THAT I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO HAVE CHILDREN AFTERWARDS. I REALLY WANT TO HAVE CHILDREN BUT I NEED TO GET MY WEIGHT DOWN FROM 270 TO A HEALTHY ONE. ANYONE CAN REPLY TO THIS BUT I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO HERE FROM THE NEW PEOPLE. THANKS AND GOD BLESS TO ALL. AMANDA-NASHVILLE TN AGE 24 __________________ JUST GOT APPROVED FOR LAP BAND

I HAVE BEEN TRING TO GET APPROVED FOR MY SURGERY SINCE AUGUST 2003. MY SURGERY IS OCT 6 2004. I FINALLY WAS APPROVED SEPTEMBER 8 2004. THEY DECLINED ME ONCE. YOU JUST HAVE TO MAKE SURE THAT YOUR HEALTH PROBLEMS ARE SO SEVERE THAT YOU WILL NEED TO HAVE THE SURGERY. I HAVE HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE, HYPOGLYCEMIA,( OF COURSE-MORBID OBESITY),HEADACHES,NAUSEA,VOMITING,LEG AND FEET PAIN. JUST ABOUT EVERYTHING YOU CAN THINK OF. I JUST COULD NOT NAME THEM ALL. I WENT TO TALK TO A PSHYCOLOGIST SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE THEY THOUGHT THAT I WOULD BE APPROVED FOR THE SURGERY. THEY WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU ARE BEING HONEST WITH YOURSELF AND NOT JUST WANTING TO LOSE THE WEIGHT TO LOOK GOOD ONLY. IN MY OPINION I FELT LIKE I NEEDED TO BE COUNSELING MY PHYCHIATRIST BECAUSE SHE TOLD ME MORE ABOUT HER PROBLEMS MORE THAN I. I SPENT ALOT OF MONEY AND TIME TRING TO GET THE SURGERY APPROVED. SOMETIMES IT MADE ME CRY BECAUSE I LET MYSELF GET SO BIG. EVERYONE THINKS IT IS SO EASY TO LOOSE WEIGHT BUT IT IS NOT. I HAVE TRIED ALL THE WEIGHT LOSS pills OUT THERE. I HAVE EVEN TRIED TO STARVE MY SELF BY EATING 1 BITE OF food. I TRIED EXCERSIZING UNTIL I WAS EXHAUSTED. NONE OF IT WORKED FOR ME. THIS IS ONE REASON WHY I AM HAVING THE SURGERY. I AM ALSO TIRED OF WALKING TO THE BACK OF THE STORES JUST TO LOOK AT PLUS SIZE CLOTHES. (AS IF WE NEED TO WALK ANY FURTHER . I'M READY FOR THE CHANGE. I READY FOR A HEALTHER LIFE. I READY TO LIVE LONGER AND BE A STRONGER AND HAPPIER PERSON. HOW ABOUT YOU? __________________ OCT 6TH IS MY LAP BAND

I WONDER CAN I HAVE SLIMFAST TO DRINK IN THE MORNING FOR PROTEIN? OR MABYE WITH THE NECTAR WHEY PROTEIN MIX, CAN I MIX SOY MILK AND YOGURT WITH IT? IS SOYMILK HEALTHY? I AM LACTOSE INTOLERATE AND THIS IS THE ONLY TYPE OF MILK I CAN DRINK.

I'M SORRY TO HERE ABOUT THAT. I ALMOST STARTED CRYING WHEN I READ IT. SOMETIMES YOU MAY NOT RELIZE THAT THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG UNITL IT IS TO LATE. I AM A FRIM BELIEVER THAT THINGS HAPPEN FOR A REASON. WHEN THE LORD CALLS ON YOU,YOU MUST GO. BUT I THINK SHE SHOULD GET A SECOND OPINION IMMEDIATLY. MABYE THEY CAN DO SOMETHING TO SOOTHE THE PAIN OR EXTEND HER LIFE OR CURE HERE. I WILL KEEP YOU AND YOUR FAMILY IN MY PRAYERS. GOD BLESS!

I WILL KEEP YOU ALL UPDATED ON THE SURGERY. I WILL ALSO TRY AND DOWNLOAD SOME PICTURES SO YOU ALL CAN SEE ME. BUT FIRST I HAVE TO FIGURE OUT HOW!

WOW THIS WEB SITE HAS AWESOME SUPPORT. THANKYOU TO EVERYONE FOR THE ADVISE. :laugh :laugh :banana
