Any Creative Financing for Self Pay?
I put airline tickets on CC and took the cost of surgery out of my savings-was saving it for something else but this was something I wanted and needed-so far so good I guess.

What about a get together in Shreveport
that sounds fun-would depend on when it is.

Im asking for your help
yes send directly to me as what I do with it is every week I myself cook a meal or prepare one (may be sandwich) and distribute it personally to the homeless here in Houston-its something I have done for years and it is very costly so I ask for donations-Its very hard to get them online this way as a nonorganization because people arent sure of intentions or if it really does go where I say it does-all I can say is it does and I appreciate any and all help sent my way whether it be a can good,box of toothpaste-whatever-I can use it all in one way or another wether its something i can use to make meals or is ready made and I can pass out-blankets,sheets,towels(use as blankets),shoes,socks,toiletries etc....thanks everyone

Do You Ever Wish You WEREN'T Banded?
I have to agree-there are indeed times that I want to pig out and I hate coughing up so much food but honestly Im always glad I have it after the moment passes-its like impulse shopping-if you have the money you buy it but if you dont then later that day you completely get over it and realize u didnt really need nor want it as bad as you thought.

OMG-this is sooooooooo slow
I need miracle weightloss-this is too slow for me but good news is I am losing and not gaining and I got a membership to a new gym-Lifetime Fitness-which I love-this is a great gym to go to-they have lots of good stuff to do and I dont feel like Im working out with skinny people only like I did with 24hr fitness.I felt like crap and rarely went to 24hr plus half their damn stuff isnt 24hr anyway-pfft. I have currently lost 46 pounds since surgery and 64 since weightloss camp summer of 2004

Your Reason

I want to keep it a secret, but don't know what to tell people when they ask
Im of the mind of less is more-I told no one-my daughter who lives in my home doesnt even know-nor do my friends or family for most part-my fiancee,1 sister(who can keep a secret like nobodies business)and 2 friends who are unbelievably loyal and never say anything to anyone unless told to.I plan to never tell-its personal and honestly Im embarassed that it came to this and I couldnt do it alone but thats me.
-
what have you done because you were embarrased of your weight?
I was one of the fat girls who didnt know she was fat-I thought I hid it well and was quite snazzy looking still til I saw a full on photo and about died-I never go home to visit my family cause friends from high school might see me-my reunion is coming up in june and im desperate to lose by then. I never had to hide food as Im not a big eater-I just eat junk-I even now go 24-36 hours without eating and it doesnt bother me-but when I would eat itd be junk.Im working on that.

I want to keep it a secret, but don't know what to tell people when they ask
if everyone is so close and supportive why not just come clean?

The Biggest Loser
I loooooove this show-actually went to try out in Seattle but was too late.I would do it in a heartbeat-I need people like Bob to kick me in gear alot of times-dont think Jillian would get optimal results out of me-she has a personality that I dont react well to. Im always rooting for them and it can be heartbreaking as I think we can all relate.

How Long did you wait for surgery?
I was a selfpay-called doc on a thursday-spoke with coordinator on friday-was scheduled for surgery in Tijuana on the following wednsday;-) -didnt have time to blink-thank goodness I had money in savings and ebayed me some flight tickets.

How do you deal with nosey people....
I never think those questions are rude either-I didnt want to answer those questions so didnt tell anyone but to me if you tell people you had it done then you are opening yourself up and putting yourself out there to be asked these questions.Its like thinking that someone asking you when you are due when your pregnant is rude-you put it out there so its bound to happen-live and learn I guess.
