  1. I just thought of one, nurses searching for veins to draw blood, they can never find mine through the fat. I will be glad when that is less of a problem.
  2. I love this site, because that's what I've been doing, I'f I'm hungry, I come here and look at everyone else's success, or progress, or talk to people who are having the same issues and I feel so much better.
  3. My consult is tomorrow, I'm so excited. Thank you for all the tips. I will ask all the questions ever! ;D I don't know what's going to happen, they gave me all the patent info papers at the siminar, I filled that out last week, so I don't know what's going to happen. I think they will take my bmi and tell me what I need to do to start my journey. I'm worried that they will put me on a 6 month diet, I don't want to have to wait six months. I just want to get it over with so I can start my new life.
  4. I'm the same way, my boyfriend is getting tired of me going on and on about what I'm going to do after, or how this is going to change, or oh my god look at that dress, I can't wait to be able to wear something like that. It's what's been going on in my head since I found out that our insurance covered it. It's been like an rny-a-thon in my head. I'm terrified of the day that I stop obsessing over it. I'm just so excited. I started writing everything that I had been thinking about the surgery, and I've filled up a 70 page spiral in a week, and there is still more. I just can't wait until I can stop daydreaming about it and go out and live it.
  5. I love the list, My boyfriend's father is the same way, when he talked to him about us getting engaged, his father was like,"that heifer can't have kids! Why would you want to be with something like that for the rest of your life, you can do so much better than that cow." If my mother hadn't raised me right I would have smacked the man, HELLO! I WAS SITTING IN THE NEXT ROOM! We're going to be taking ballroom dance lessons after I'm a loser I can't wait. And then we will be able to show off our new moves at our wedding that I'll look fabulous at, I would love to marry him sooner, but I don't want to regret my wedding pictures like I do my graduation pictures. I don't want to worry about dying before my parents, I don't want them to have that heart break. I don't want to worry about being able to get pregnant. I don't want to worry about fitting in to cars, or planes or whatever. I don't want to worry about chairs breaking under me I don't want to worry about finding clothes that will fit. I don't want to worry about dying before I'm 30. I know losing weight won't fix all of my problems, but It will give me more time to try.
  6. My dr said grapes are fine, just not the skins.
  7. I scheduled my consultation for Monday the ninth. I'm so excited. But really nervous. What happens during the first consultation? anyone wanna share their experiences?
  8. Wow, That would be crazy if this was a fact, I dunno....guys?
  9. The beach Dressing up and looking good. Dates with my boyfriend without people staring Movies and being comfortable in the theater Not burning up all the time Engagement ring shopping Not adjusting my clothes all the time Finding cute and comfortable bras Shopping!!!!!!!!! Being normal and no longer being the "self esteem boosting comparison" fat friend Amusement parks! Skydiving Playing paintball with my friends instead of watching from the side lines I have written like three pages on this topic and I am finding more things every day
  10. My shop does that too, but at a half inch it is hard not to notice someone with large lobes. Lol And my ears are back to normal anyhow, I home my tummy is as fortunate.
  11. I am also concerned on how they are going to turn out after everything
  12. Sparklette replied to Melsauve's topic in The Gals' Room
    Warerbras are very common you can get them pretty much anywhere
  13. I want to look as awesome on the out side that I know I am on the inside. I want people to stop questioning why my boyfriend and I are together. "you have such a pretty face" nuff said I want to go skinny dipping; not chunk dunkin. Going outside without dying of heat stroke, (it was 111 here yesterday) Being on top durring sex;)
  14. I tried the skin toned plugs but my boss wasnt fooled, I am suprized that she hasn't pitch a fit about my tongue. I am not getting anymore peircings, buy I have a few tattoos that I am planning for after everything.
  15. Sounds awesome! Anyone in Texas? Lol
  16. I have a tattoo and my tongue pierced. I had my ears stretched to a 1/2 in a few months ago but had to lose them for my job. :/
  17. Oh wow, that sounds terrible, . I had to reschedule my consultation I ended up having to work. So it is rescheduled for next week.
  18. I haven't seen many other 20 year olds getting the surgery. How was yours? How are you doing?
  19. A few days ago, my father's company's insurance changed. Upon looking through the files of what is covered and what isn't it turns out that weight loss surgery is covered. I'm a 20 year old college student and I'm grossly overweight. We've discussed the surgical option a few times, and it had never been an actual option, because it was so expensive. But now, it's an option. I've been doing nothing but researching the options for the past few days. I went to the seminar, and I think I'm going to do it, I scheduled my consultation with the surgeon , it's on Tuesday, I'm really excited. It's the first step on the road to my new life.
