@yiggy thank you for that info, it really helps to know that I'm not alone.

That's what a lot of people tell me, but like I said she has good qualities that out weigh her bad qualities.

@everyone, first I would like to thank you all for weighing in on this subject. Let me just give you all a little background. I've always struggled with my weight my whole life. I'm 36 yrs. old, 5'8 and weigh 334lbs. My best friend/sister is 5'7 and weighs about 140lbs, and she is 34 yrs. old. I've always been insecure about my weight for obvious reasons, and currently single and some, mainly my mom believed that I'm going through a depression stage. My best friend is currently in a relationship. When we would go out to clubs she would always get the attwntion, and if any guy, which is very rare show me any attention she would say to me that he is only talking to me because he knows I am insecure and he's just going to use me. So because of my insecurities I would believe her. She is the type of friend that if I got my hair done or got a new designer purse she'd seem to be jealous and turn her nose up at me like I don't deserve it. I've never been like that with her. Don't misunderstand, she has a lot of good qualities and they do out weigh the bad but I just fear that when I start to lose weight our friendship is going to go downhill.

Thank you kina. Did you also have to do 6 mos too??

Thank you Yiggy, I'm just sad because I already waited 6 mos and now I have to wait another month

Thanks for the info. I'll definitely start doing that on Monday.

So I completed my 6mos pre-op requirements and is now waiting for the call to schedule my surgery. Does anyone know how long this process takes after completing 6 month requirements???

I will...do you know why it's taking you so long??? Is it an insurance thing???

Oh, wow. I hope it doesn't take that long for me. I was told 6 months ago that my estimated surgery date would be some time in January.
