Bye Bye Food... I have a new friend!
I have come to the point in my life where I can no longer allow food to be my best friend. I will miss my life long friend, but I must move on. I have found a new friend you see, someone that I can trust and confide in. Someone that will not treat me to those naughty little late night snacks.Someone that will not be negative towards my decision for WLS. Someone that is a GOOD LISTENER! I would like to take this moment to introduce you all to my new friend.

Name That Tune ?
Ok no takers huh? It was Nirvana's " About A Girl" Here's another one... So, they sat down and made a drawing of their love, They made it an art to live by. They painted every passion, every home, Created every beautiful child. In winter they were weavers of warmth, In summer they were carpenters of love. They thought blueprints were too sad So they made them yellow

Is this a normal request?
I am going to be banded by Dr. Joya in Puerto Vallarta. He doesn't require a pre-op diet either. I think it's mostly the Drs. here in the states that require that. Good Luck with whatever decision you make.

September 11th - Remembered
The devastating events of 9/11 haunt our everyday lives. What sorrow for the families. What a loss for America. They are all in my prayers. And $300,000,000,000+ and 4 years later we still haven't put this psycho away.

Help in VA
I live right outside of Richmond. I have decided to go with a Mexican Doctor since I have no insurance. I too was looking for a local Dr. for aftercare. None of these local Drs. want to touch me with a ten foot stick if I get banded in Mx. So for me, I will be going back to Mexico for my aftercare. Let me know if you find out anything different.

Looking Forward
I think what I am looking foward to most is.. being able to see my reflection in a passing mirror or window and nodd in acceptance of how I look versus trying to adjust my clothes to better disguise my body.

Pray For Storm Victims
I spoke to my cousin last night again. He is safe. His wife being a nurse has not been allowed to leave the hospital. He told me that he was outside and saw 3 guys breaking into a Shell station and the owner opened fire on them with a shotgun! He saw the driver get shot. He says that violence is getting worse and that he will be sleeping, in the dark with a butcher knife in case he has to defend his belonging. How sad? He also told me that there is a Pawn shop across the road from him, he saw people breaking into it stealing things and then set it on fire. His Favorite guitar was in that shop. It was worth $1300 but he only borrowed $40 on it so that he could get it out easily. Now it is gone, because of looters. I can understand looting for survival, but looting for greed..unacceptable! It really bothers me, because my cousin has so little and he tries to live his life the right way just for his few prized possessions to be stolen from him... ugh! it makes me sick. I hope the people who got out stay safe and can rebuild, but the ones out shooting and stealing and killing should drown!

Pray For Storm Victims
My cousin and his wife live in New Orleans. He called me in the middle of the night last night to let me know they were okay. I hadn't been able to get in touch with them all day yesterday. He said they had something like 155mph winds and that trees are down everywhere. I am just glad he and his wife are safe.
