  3. Can you add me Linda.skoden@yahoo.com. Thanks
  4. Thank you for your responses. I can't change what I have already done but I can change what I do next. I am not going to wait until tomorrow, I will start right now. Thanks everyone! I don't think I could make it through this without the support of this website and the wonderful ppl here.
  5. I feel so upset with myself. I am going into my 3rd month of "supervised" diet. So far I haven't had the willpower to journal, stay on low card. Diet. This morning I got up with full intentions of sticking to it. I did good until about 3pm when I started preparing dinner for my husband. I blew the diet. Now I am mad at myself and everything around around me. I can't make it through one day how am I ever going to get through the liquid preop diet. I feel like I don't deserve to get the sleeve. Am I nuts or does others go through the same thing???
  6. I too am going to hit 60 this year. I have gotten to the point that it hurts to walk.
  7. What kind of support groups do they have. I haven't asked them that, but so far I just see a once a month meeting.
  8. Thank you so much for your response. It made me think. I do not want to die. I now have 5 grandchildren and another one on the way. I will be retiring the end of this year. So I do have a lot to live for.
  9. Thank you. I will look into a support group.
  10. I have been overweight since age 16. I recently got married and found that my husbands insurance will cover WLS. I have been going through the motions to move forward with the surgery. I still question if this is right for me. One question that keeps going through my mind is this.... If I haven't been able to do it in the past, how am I going to be able to do it in the future. I have started and failed so many times. Heck, I have trouble getting through one day of being on a diet. Doesn't the insurance company know that if I could do a supervised diet for six months, I would lose weight? I understand this has to be a lifestyle change. Any support, motivation, prayers ect would be appreciated. I just feel kinda lost. Thanks
  11. I have Dr Curry to get sleeved. I am in the 6month supervised diet phase. No date set yet.
  12. Thank you. I am so new I don't know if I am even writing in the right place. I keep reading what ppl write and some days I feel good about my decision and other days it scares. The bejesus out of me.
  13. I am just starting this journey. So I am a newbie. I keep seeing advertisements for bariatric food. I understand that the amount of food I take in is going to be very limited, but am I going to have to eat special foods for the rest of my life?
  14. Thank you. I am not even sure if I am typing in this thing right. Does dr curry have any support groups?
  15. I am very new to all this. I am even having a hard time getting around this site. I live in Cinti Ohio. I just started my weight loss journey. I am a patient of dr. Curry. I have had my first consult with him. My insurance is UHC. I Received an email from them saying they pay 100% if I use in-network. I have been over weight since age 16. I m now 60. I m so excited nd so scared all at the same time. Any support you cn give me I would really appreciate. Thank you!
