i do not have to do a liquid diet because of my bmi. my doctor's office only requires them if you bmi is 45 or above. mine is 41. i'm kind of glad, i get a couple of weeks to say goodbye to my foods and a little bit longer for will power. i'm also kind of sad because i would lose more weight if i did the liquid diet.< /p>

i'm having my surgery here in arkansas, i am a self pay patient also, by the time i pay this off, i probably won't want to pay for any other surgery

i considered Mexico but i decided to have it local.

thanks you guys. i guess i have kind of been in denial about actually letting myself get this heavy. I've only been heavy (morbidly) for about 4 years. It just scares me when i think about all of the damage that i have done to my body. then to think that i can lose all the weight and then have something else about myself that i don't like....i don't know. i guess we all have things that we don't like about ourselves.

i'm still scheduled and i'm not changing it. i want to live to old age and i am tired of being sick and tired.

I'm hope that i am like you on the un hungry thing. that will make the first 4 weeks go by quickly

Hi, I'm new to this whole thing. My husband and I had been talking about this procedure for quite some time but did not go forward due to no coverage from insurance. We finally decided that the cost is worth it for my health. I'm 25 and I already have high BP, high cholest, etc., etc. I just decided last week to go forward and now I am already scheduled for the procedure October 18th (LESS THAN 3 WEEKS AWAY!!!).

I'm wondering if there is anyone out there with the same type of situation. I am seriously afraid of skin. I have been heavy for about 4 years, I am 25 and i have a BMI of 41. Anything anyone has to help ease some of my worries will help. I have done a lot of research and i have read posts on here for several days.

I'm scared I'm going to starve to death on the liquid diet and having to cook for DH and son will make it worse.

The whole loose skin really frightens me, ironically more than band slippage or erosion, etc.
