Babs I wish you lots of luck with putting those cigs down ... I 'm sure thats a hard habit to break. I wish you lots of luck with whatever you decide on your plastic surgery. You have come so far and I think you having this procedure will help you feel even better about your self. You are already a wonderful success !

Michelle I have heard the same thing.I guess all Drs are different and they may consider doing it sooner.

ITASHA~ Don't miss this thread! We need more help from Memphis!

Hi I see Dr. Woodman Too! However I am not self pay so I can't help you there. I have talked to alot of his patients that have been very pleased with him. He is straight forward and to the point but a very good Dr. in my opinion! When are you getting your band ? Do you have a date? How much weight do you want to lose? Tell us more about your self. good luck with your self pay and getting your band.

Congratulations on getting your band. I know its something you do deserve and I know it will be our new best friend!

Kathy and Marie~I can sit on this board for hours and even if no one is posting right then I can always find something I haven't read yet. I'm not a morning person,but night time watch out cause just like right now I should be in bed but I'm on LBT. I layed down by my husband ( cause he says he can't go to bed without me) but I couldn't sleep for thinking about my Dr. appt. tomorrow~ so what do I do? I get up and get on LBT! I have burned 2 meals trying to look at posts and cook at the same time.since I joined this site in Dec. First time in my life I've burned a pan of noodles dry. Hamburger tastes lots better when its not crunchy! since I checked in on the boards I think I might try to get some sleep now! GOOD NIGHT BOARDS AND BAND BUDDIES!

I first contacted ins and Dr. in Oct. I get my offical date for surgery tomorrow. So about 4 months.

Penni I think this is great for you. Cheers to walking to a healthier you!

Wow that was quick! Good luck and speedy recovery!

OMG I haven't bought gasX yet. I better get some just in case!

Thank you all for the replys. I will just see how it goes and if i feel the need to stay then I'll stay. thanks again!

Wow I 'm not sure where to begin ,there has been so much posted already. I have always been fat. I was the fat kid in the 4th grade that acually told a boy I liked him,and of course I got the responce Yuck your fat,I think your gross!Then I got bruises from trying to fit in the rides at the amusment park ~My own brother even told me so many times that I can't keep track YOUR FAT~The list goes on and on for the remarks I have heard and had to deal with. I always feel really bad when I see people that are fat.I have compassion for them and I grieve that there isn't anything I can do to help them or myself. I think if I could just lose this weight and stop being a failure people wouldn't look at me the way they look at fat people because I wouldn't be fat anymore . I saw a lady at the park this past summer and I thought oh my God I thought I was in bad shape. Her stomach hung almost to her knees and she could hardly walk. But it was followed by the thought my goodness how hard life must be for her. How does she even get out of bed in the mornings. I thought and just look at her WALKING AT THE PARK. She inspired me because she was trying to excersice and there I sat eating a Peanut Butter and jelly sandwich feeling like I had no excuse why I shouldn't be exersicing . when I see someone fat it always makes me want to do better cause I don't want to look like they do but I never look at my self anyless fat than I am. I know I am fat and finally my band will help do something about it. These thoughts I had were still steriotyping fat people! I can remember not to long ago,my 5 year old daughter saw a lady in a resteraunt that was also in a wheel chair that was huge. She looked right over at the lady and said mommy why is that lady as big as a balloon? I was mortified. The lady looked at me and said its okay she's to little to understand. I told the lady I was very sorry and I made my daughter apologize and I said she will understand . I explained to my daughter that peolpe come in all shapes and sizes and that somepeople even had health problems because of their weight. This story just goes to show that no matter how young you are everyone has steriotyped someone at some time. Lets all try to be more positive towards other people and not look down on them for RACE~WEIGHT~ IQ~RELIGION...everyone has good qualities. LETS LOOK AT PEOPLE ON THE INSIDE! THATS WHAT COUNTS! It is always easier to find fault or blame someone else than it is to find fault and blame our selves.

Welcome Marie Glad you are doing well with your band and weight lose. welcome and ther is lots of good advice here!
