I took a test to Crystal nothing here either ... YIPPEEE FOR US !!! LOL! Now my hubby is gone back to TX so I am good ... won't see him til after surgery. Will be on BC by then!! LOL ... Yep on Myspace!!

I may be out of the group guys ... reproductive/endo is now saying that I don't have PCOS and that the symptoms are all pre pcos ... because all of my blood work came back normal. He says after I lose 30-40 pounds come back to see him we will run some more test and than we will get the confirmation. But I kinda hope that I don't have the PCOS maybe my band will work alot hell of alot quicker. But I learn alot about the disease but doc says it will all go away once I get my weight intact.

Hey guys well I am due to start the liquid diet on Friday... I'm going to the surgeons office to getthe shakes and some othe supplement the coordinator told me about. But I just said ok I will start on Monday. Because this weekend I really feel like binge eating cause I don't wann cheat on my diet and I don't wanna F the pre-op diet up so my liver won't be in the way.I am so afraid of complications. So I wanna do everything by the book.:wink2: But I wanna give myself this one last hoorah. Like drug addicts on intervention before they go to rehab they wanna get high one last time. And that's how I feel. OMG I just realized it I am a food addict. :biggrin: Damn ... no wonder I am 325! I wanna lose this 25 pounds pre-op so I can atleast countdown from 299 once I am banded. I just wanted to share and she if anyone else is going through this too. I am to be banded Feb 6th.:Dancing_biggrin: Is 25 pounds a little far fetched. Or should I start Saturday for the best results? What do you think? Thanks if you read this whole thing. Lots of LOVE APPLES!:biggrin:

I am crushed to hear your story sweetie. I know exactly what it feels like to find a light at the end of the tunnel. And then it just goes out ... that really sucks like hell. But alot of people here were self pay. I say look into that if you are able to. Or try and change insurances if possilbe thats what I had to do. Alot of people say a BMI of 40 or 35 with co-morbitities. I am a pharmacy tech and I argue with insurace companies all day everyday. So when it came time for new insurace I changed for the new year to the insurace that I knew would cover it and would not give me a hassle. They approved it in 2 days. But once again I am so sorry to hear this happened to you. But do WHAT U HAVE TO DO to be banded. That's all I can say. But did they even submit this to the insurance or is this just that particular doctors office saying to you. If so find another damn surgeon! Because who are they to dictate your life?!?! But lots of love to you honey bunches of oats! And let us know how you make out. Any of us are here if you need to talk. As my grandma would say dust yourself off anf put you big girl panties on and keep it moving! Life won't wait for yoy that's why you have to do this now! Lots of LOVE APPLES!

Hey Crystal I also sent you a friend request!!

Crystal Iam going throught the same thing right now LOL ... you have snatched the words right out of my mouth. I have taken 2 test and nothing yet but I have been with my husband atleast 2 a day since he has been home (military ... his father died) And I can definetely not tell him to use a condom cause he wants a baby anyway. And it's hard for me to ever know cause of my PCOS stuff my periods are funny. So I will just have to wait and see. But I really really wanna be banded so I can atleast have an attractive pregnancy. And people will be able to see my prego belly.

I had a psych eval too guys ... and it was pretty much just a talk it was the guy who was like 75... and he rushed me through it just a chat we couldv'e did over the phone LOL. I think he was ready for his nap he was so old LOL.

Which health insurance do you have Gurl ???

I Loveddddddddd Third Eye Blind!

Come People !!!! Deuces Wild Is "the" Name!!! Lets Get Those Votes In!!

Well I have 150 pounds to lose ... I am 5'10 inches tall and would love to be about 175 ... I don't wanna mess around and get to skinny. I have no desire to be a 2 ... 12 or 14 nothing smaller than a 10 ... I love my curves! So I wouldn't mind being a double digit chick.

Ok Not Working I'll Post Later...

Lol!!! You Go Gayle!!!! You Got Your Official Freak Bandage!!!

Lol @ Destiny ... So U Been Gettin It In Since U Been Banded Huh Lol!!! I Haven't Tried The Creams Yet Lol But I Have Heard Of Them ... My Hubby Just Has To Blow On My Nipples And I Am Ready Lol ... I Freak Born And Bred ... Fat Or No Fat I Feel Insecure At Times Sure ... We All Do But Once This Weight Is Gone ... There Is No Stoppin Me ... Super Head Number 2 ... With Just My Hubby Only Though Lol!!

010308 Girl I totally feel you ... my man can be just as messy too I hate it too. Like I am constantly cleaning when he is home and he has no desire to be clean LOL!! But I try and let that shit go when we get to the bedroom ... discuss issues out of the bedroom is what I would say that's what I do ... and he has been alot better so far ... he is now putting the cap back on toothpaste ... and also now leaving dishes in the sink for me ... etc ... a little help here in there he washed 2 loads of clothes for me. My husband really loves me (not saying that ur's doesn't) and he gets really nervous when he pisses me off severely. So he snaps out of the bullshit asap! But all relationships are different. Maybe you should let hubby read your post or sit down girl when u have a minute to yourself and write/type him a long letter about how u feel ... that's what i did ... and hubby was totally unaware tell him about your desires and what makes you feel good. If this is you man your husband the one you love and wanna be with tell him ... marriage is a compromise give and take all day everyday! So he has to maybe step it up a notch for you ... you are his woman and he should respect your feelings! Hopefully your babies see you guys happy and things especially if you have daughters... they are learning right now how to interact with the opposite sex from the parents alone... (child psych major) I try and tell everyone that who already have kids cause some people don't realize it ... And I dont want people to think that I am preachin or anything ... just putting in my 1.50 cents LOL!! Love to all apples!

yEAH ... I guess so ... and I expect some ... but I have heard since we are having the band and we loose it more gradually skin is less loose... it has some time to catch up more than with bypass or any others.

Great idea girl!! This will be my excuse definetely!!!!! I am getting a swing as soon as I reach the 200 pound mark!! I will be the first to admit I am a freak!! LOL I get it from my mama!!

Well my hubby would totally not take me withholding sex from him ... it;s something going on with her maybe it is like 010308 says ... or maybe she isn't feeling attractive I don't know. And I could see that bothering you Justin. I would be really hurt if my hubby just showed no desire to no longer make love to me ... so that would hurt any spouse. And 010308... don't you get horny ?? I am fat and feel unattractive at times too but I still get horny and I still have the desire to wanna please my hubby eventhough I feel ucky at times but I still made a promise to my husband when I said my vows ... I know we are 2 different people as well but I just curious to know... u don't have to answer if you dont want to ... But I noticed that you mentioned that u were not having sex either.

I just thought that we would all share our goal weights and any clothes sizes that you wanted to share ... Also what are you basing your goal weight of ?? Some are the "BMI" charts that the docs give ... others are just your own preference. I myself am about 5'9-5'10 inches tall so of course I can carry more body weight than the short girls ... I am currently about 325 (yeah I know it sucks :frown: damn u PCOS LOL) but my goal weight is about 170...175...180 no more no less. U like some people I dont desire to be a size 2. I never will be that's just not for me. I like having my curves (once they fall back into place right now they are more like hills and bumps LMAO) i like nice hips and thighs and a nice shaply ass we are women that's how god made us to be curvier and voluptuous. And I plan to keep my curves I don't want to look anorexic I.E. Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan, Nichole Ritchie ... stars that people idolize right now. Not I said that cat but anyway. Here are my goals ... please share yours! Weight... 170-175- or 180 no more no less Jeans... 10-12 maybe even 14! Bra... currently 44 C cause my bust don't really care what size my tits are just want at least a B or small C like they used to be! (mid to upper abdomen is so big that's why 44... I was always a B cup to a small c my whole life now my boobs are pretty husky LOL... But they have only become this way since I have been fat so I know when I loose weight they will be small again but I dont care ass, hips, and thighs run in my family so that a OK with me ... my hubby is an ass and leg man anyway LOL) Panties... Whoa I am in a 10 right now those things are huge LOL!! Can't wait to be atleast an 8!! Tops... 3XL nearing 4XL... Can't wait to be a XL or just L!! But thanks for reading guys ... I am so glad we have this forum to share things with cause alot of us dont have anyone (like myself) to really share things about our weight openly. ANd I really appreciate that we have that here ... no matter how embarrasing it is cause we are all here for each other we are all in the same boat trying to keep each other afloat! So love, hugs, and kisses to all!!

I am curious to know about the "twenties" chicks that have been banded what's ur sking like now ... is it really better than people older than us?? I asked this question to everyone before but now since we have our own age category thats even better! Since I am 20 I am hoping that my skin will suck right back into place. But if I am wrong please tell me. Of course I have a gut and I dont want the skin to hang from where it will once used to be.

Justin I Am Soooooooooooo Sorry To Hear That!! That's Wrong ... Ur Wife Should Not Be With Holding Sex From You Unless You Have Cheated On Her!! That's In The Bible!! But I Wish I Had Some Suggestions For You ... Do You Still Make Her Feel Wanted, Sexy, Attractive You Know. Smack Her On The Ass An Say Damn Baby You Got A Phat Juicy Ass... (not Fat Lol!!!) Or Grab Her And Give Her One Of Those Passionate Kisses That Us Chicks Go Crazy Over Like The Ones That Automatically Make Out Panties Wet.... Yeah Ladies You Know Which One I Am Talking About. I Think Us As American With All The Sex Sells And Porno Stuff Alot Of Us Get Married Start Families And Become Total Prudes About Sex... And That Shouldn't Be We Should All Be Open To An Extent. And If Your Children Never See You Cuddle, Kiss, Love Each Other Between A Man And Woman They Will Not Now How When They Get In To The World... The Tv Would Be The Thing Doing All The Teaching And Than Comes Teen Pregnancy And A Whole Heep Of Shit ... Lol ... So Let's Get It 2gether People!!! Love To All Apples!!

Darn ... bummer well girl I wish you the best ... Atleast you KNOW now that you will be banded soon ... it;s not some where out in the wind LOL. Hope things pan out for you!! Can't get ANYONE to baby sit him ??

Tai did they cancel your surgery date??? what happened??
