Good Luck to you tomorrow and the days post op. Hoping you do well with it all. Prayers and Thoughts, Debby

Happy Healing!!! Wishing you success.

OK Skip me on this one I'm still on my Victoria Secret dreaming high No bringing me down today.

Whats the story with this one?? I'm fairly new here

Can we do that in a lot of stores. Banna Republic Gap Fredrick of Hollywood Macy's (W Dept alway suck) New York & Co. Amecrombie and Fitch I can go on foreverrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

Ok, I have to share this with someone that would understand what a big step this was for me. I went for my last appointment with the surgeon yesterday and I expressed by what if I fail concerns with him. We talked for ahile and I was reassured I have every opportunity to succeed at this as anyone. The line that struck me was - We'll (the MD staff) will be there with you every step of the way on your weight loss journey even at 3 am. You'll never be able to forget we are in this toegether once you have the surgery - OK a little corny - but it worked for me. I stopped my Last suppering that I've been doing all month and I actually had the nerve to walk into VICTORIA SECRET today. I broswed like I belonged there and I will belong in a few months. I am not afraid to success. ROAR!

You go girl!!! Your new found independence must feel awesome. Enjoy

Well Ok, I'm the "sacastic lover" - way tooooooooooooooooo funny - Zoe where do you find these things

Hi Maria, why don't you start a thread to intrduce yourself and tell everyone who is the md and where and why and how you got to this decision. The people on this board are wildly supportive and very real. I hope you find the support you need from here. Debra

Chat - I could use some moral support????

Yup!!!! If you could actually see thru it from the inside out -- it's clean enough for me. They haven't made it to NYC yet!

Since you have a new you, just a thought??? What about a personal shopper. Macy's nostroms bloomingdales and others of that thype have them for free. Just need to make an appointment. A professional shopper will help you choose a dress that is flatterinng to you and help with the proper undergarments. The undergarments are the foundation of any great look LOL. Have fun with it!

Congratulations Shannon! You are doing terrific - You must feel wonderful.

Hi Tracy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Are you banded yet?

Hi Karla, Congrats on your decision to get this tool. We have alot in common - I've beenout of control with the weight since Nicky and Danny were born. Danny will be 6 and Nuicky os 7 - definetly cannot use the baby fat excuse anymore. I've found this board to be an incredible support and very real. I'm at 242 and what to be at 150. You?? Good luck with all your consults and keep us posted.

I'm going in and it's pretty lonely by myself!

Thanks Kathy - if the insurance crapps out I'm gonna scream LOL

Notice how the men invented them but wouldn't be caught dead in them LOL

OK well I'm in the home stretch of the consults. I haven't been to this many Doc' since I gave birth. I saw the surgeon, my primary, Dietician, Psch consult, endoscopy, sleep study, Pulmonogist, Endocrinologist, cardiologist, stress tests, echo cardiagram and the primary for strep that I contracted along the way. So the only thing left it the sono of the gallbladder on monday and back to the Surgeon for the final consult. this has been a long process!!!!! After the next Consult with the surgeon on April 1. The insurance company will be contacted by the md office to obtain authorization. I have a PPO and the MD office is confident they approve the surgery. We'll see. thank you all, I needed to vent.

WOW WHat a great feeling it must be to have to buy something new because it toooooo big. I can't wait for that to happen. Good luck with your court date - I'm sure you'll look smashing

COngratulations on your decision. Where are you having it done???

Good Luck to you on this next phase of your weight loss journey

wow pretty sad story, I cannot understand how the medicaid system cannot help her out. I wonder what kind iof insurance she has.

Hi, I've been diagnoised in life early for this. I was 5 when they picked it up. Yes it does contribute to wieght gain but I don't think is a sole culperate. Although it definitely is not helpful in trying to lose wight. I'm on synthroid .175 pretty high dose. ANy direct quests you can PM me if you like. Good luck to you.

10 A beautifu, glorious, sexy cocktail dress that probably fits on my left thigh right now. But I'm keeping the faith. I wore it to a friends wedding 8 1/2 years ago. DH loves it. I was 148lbs then at 5'9" pretty dawn comfortable for me. AAAHHHHHHHH those were the days. I think I'll go visit the closet now.
