Yeah me too just to put my wedding ring on now will be a God send... hehehehe

Im very bored here at home.. Someone come visit me!!!!!!!! LOL

I have told everyone I dont care! I told all my family, I told all my husbands family and I dont have any friends so didnt tell them lol Anyway I think any comments after being banded will NOT compare to the comments I get now!! The looks I get now!! I think it will be well worth all the comments (if any). Only my Fmaily Dr. tells me Im taking the easy way out... I finally told him NO, Dr. Im not taking the easy way out, Im taking the ONLY way out!!!!!!! So there LOL

I dont think anything is in Stone yet... I feel like everyone who is just waiting and waiting... But thanks anyway!!! you all are great! Rachel, Just 10 more days???? WOW that is so just around the corner

I wish I even could excersie, I barley can walk up and down the stairs to get into my own Apt. I dont leave my Apt. much... The pain get to be so bad. Cleaning, Laundry.... yeah I do those, it takes me ALL day I have to take brakes, my back pain is so bad that when i do finally sit out a rush of pain goes to my head, I wait then its better. I have very small bone structure and at 330lbs Im breaking. And only if I can excersie I would do it everyday... So to you out there that CAN excersie.. GET OUT!!!!! DO IT!!!! COME ON!!!! Think about someone like me who cant and wants to.

Thank You all so much! I got worried there for a bit... I think he just caught me off gard today i guess... Well it will be in April instead of March.. That gives me time to save for travel expenses and for hubby to save time in his bank at work. But you all made me feel at ease Thanks again! Jack, you said......... I tend to think of dieticians mostly like the nice firemen that came to visit you in the 2nd grade to tell you the reasons to not play with matches.... I never would of thought of it that way.. good thinking hehehe

Oh there is no question about wether i want this or not... I do want this.. to the point that i need it.... He gave me the date w/out garanteed approval because, My Ins. Co. doesnt have me on Direct Exclusion.. i dont know what that means, Thats what the asst. at my Dr.'s office said. He said that I would have all my tests done the day before surgery, I just didnt know how fast results can come in. I did my Dietitian over the phone to save me a 400mile trip down to Colorado. She told me that she would meet with me next time I was in Colorado, but she wanted to get the paper work done. I guess his call this afternoon caught me off guard and I wasnt expecting to hear a date so quickly.... I would go for the March 14th, but I cant I dont have the money to make 2 400 mile trips.. including hotel in a 2 week period and my husband doesnt have the vacation time bulit up yet... (they give vac. time every other week depending on how much he works) Im still a little weided on the call... but I think it will be okay.

Happy Birthday Shelley, Hope you have a wonderful day!

Hmmmmm I love Tea!!... YES!! You Can Do It!!!

Okay I go Monday at 4:00 for my Psych Evaluation... What should I look for? Besides.. Cuffs, Police, Stray Jacket, Insane Asyleum (sp) person. Anyway Im afriad.. they are going to lock me up LOL.. okay serious: Should I study anything... I know what im getting into, I know how much my life will change is that about all they ask? Let me know... Also my Dietain is Tuesday... Im getting closer..... hehehe

Okay I went yesturday to my Psych Evaluation, and it wasnt bad at all... it was quite enjoyable actually hehehe She didnt really know about the LapBand at all so I filled her in on everything about it. She was really impressed with how the LapBand works. She said she wanted me to go see her after 6months so she can see how I look. She was really nice... gosh I worried over nothing LOL.... thats me a worry wort LOL

Congrats Tanya!!! Thats wonderful news March 16 will be here before you know it.

Wow Donali, That is a great post thank you, it really made me think... its so ture! Thanks again for posting it

Wow Brenda, those are awesome pictures, you have done a wonderful job!

I have a Kodak i got about 3 years ago, and still still works great... I paid about 235.00 for it, but it came with an extra card with rebate and a chargeable dock. So i dont know how or if i paid all extra for that. You might just want to go to your local electronic store and ask them more info on them, look around to see who has better deals, or rebates. You might even find one you like and look on ebay for it, it could be a lot cheaper. Sorry I cant help much more.

You are in my Thoughts and Prayers Brenda. Take Care

Ahhhhh man... So sorry you are having to go thourgh this.. its a pretty hefty hole you got there. But it looks really good actually, not abnormally red, or any type of discolor. I remember not to long ago maybe a month or two, my mom had her leg amputated and the end of her stump had two big holes somewhat like yours.. just on her stump. Just keep that thing cleaned and stuffed. You are going be fine.. your a strong person! Keep your head up girl!!!! (((((((((hugs))))))))) {not a tight one} lol

HAHAHA im not locked... She called me and canceled.. She said that she didnt get the paper work from my Dr. Office so I will be going to see her on Thursady. Ugh!!!

Congrats!!!! And Hope you get better soon... Remember, this is the best thing that you could of done for yourself. You will do great!

I did about the same thing, was get all the names of Dr. in my area... found one 400miles away. All I did was I called up and got information. They might even send you a information packet as my Dr.'s office did. Good Luck with it.

Thanks everyone!!! GREAT Advise.. (as always) I have been playing the whole process of what I know in my head over and over... talking about it as much as I can I think I am ready for this.. I will let you all know how it goes tomorrow
