Okay, I will in just a min. I guess I'd find your # on your profile? (going to look now)

Keep in touch! We can be sleeve sisters. :-)

I sure will check into Bosley. Thanks for the info!

I'm very happy to see this forum as well. Great idea! I posted part of my story earlier today in "Introducing myself". I say part because I'm at work & was hurried (still am), but you'll definitely see me around! Much love all!

I will look it up for when I can have it down the line. Thanks!

Wow...didn't know it existed! Nice to know months down the line when I'll be post-op. :-) I loooooooooooooove, I mean "like to eat" pasta. Darn that behavior mod class! (joking)

Thank u everyone! :-)

Hello all! First let me say congrats to EVERYONE on this journey. Congrats to taking steps towards a better, healthier YOU!! I'm a 30yr old female. I've not been sleeved yet. I am waiting for approval at this time. I'm very excited, because I'm expecting to hear that I'm approved. I've been doing a lot of research. I had my heart set on the band for about a month, but then changed my mind once I really thought about all of the after-care, meaning fills/unfills. I also asked my surgeon how much fills cost without insurance (in the event that I should not have it one day in the future), and the amount made me shift towards the sleeve. I made the final decision to go with the sleeve once I met with my nutritionist & also did my psych eval & they both suggested it. Anyway...I am now 301lbs. My highest weight ever was 306 this year. I was shocked when I saw that I'd reached 300+. I'd been avoiding the scale but didn't think I'd gotten that out of control. I am truly tired of being out of shape, out of breath, tired/having lack of energy, not enjoying shopping, etc. I've been preparing mentally for this journey, because I am truly an emotional eater. Any, all comments, advice is welcome. I look forward to joining those on the losers bench. I am truly concerned about hair loss. I KNOW IT WILL GROW BACK!!!! But still...lol. I'm also hoping that I will be able to tolerate almost anything that is healthy & delicious post-op. Well, I don't wanna be to long with this post. I'll see you all around! Much Love!!!

Hello, I've not had my surgery yet, but I just wanna say that I admire each one of you for being so courageous with your journey & also openly honest with this post. You are all heros. I know that sounds corny, but it's true. God bless all of you & keep up the GREAT work!!
