Hello!

I did very well, I am home, trying to take in all the protein and water. I am glad the surgery part is over.

Hello!

I have been such a SLACKER!! I am doing fine. I am now down 75 and plan on posting pics Friday. How are you??

Hello!

I will thinking of you on the 8th! You will be fine, if you have any questions, just let me know.

Hello!

My doctor is having me go on clear liquids for 2 days before surgery. He also is putting me on neomycin, which is an antibotic which kills the bacteria in the colon. Every physician is different, though.

Hello!

Thanks for checking out my blog. yes, i went with the RNY. I have prediabetes and the RNY is a cure for diabetes. That is really the main reason.

Hello!

Thanks for reading my blog. I did the 6 month md supervised diet, what a joke!!! I really don't know why the insurance wants that, obviously I tried dieting in the past!!!! I wish you the best and keep me posted.

Hello!

Yes, everyday we get a little closer, whoo hoo!!!

Hello!

You have done so well so far!! I am finally going to have my surgery on 10/14/08, the day before my birthday!!

Helloooo!

Yes, you are more than welcomed to come to see us in Atlanta, I do not know how to cook soul food, as I am from the north and I am American Indian. BUT my hubby makes wonderful ribs, greens and grits! I can make you the BEST meatballs! Please let us know, you have a home here!!

Hey atl38,

I don't think the ins. will care which doc sends in the information, you just need to meet the criteria and make sure they are in network. I don't blame you for being upset,:cursing: that is ridiculous! Once you make the commitment to do this, you want people to take you seriously and do their part. We have to jump through a lot of hoops to get this done, all they have to do is dial a number and press fax!

Hey GG,

I have a date!!!! 10/14/2008!!!!! I need to catch up with your Vlogs, I am waaaaayyyy behind!

Hey gg!

I loved your You Tube post. There were so many things you said that I can identify with.

The whole scale issue is one. I get so obsessed with that thing. Right now I am between 268-270, depending on when I weigh. I told my husband I am going to put the scale away if and when I have surgery. ( I am still waiting to hear from insurance). The scale can really mess with my head! I try to avoid it when I am dieting mainly because, if I am up or down, that can basically change my mood for the day.

How is the pre-op diet going for you? I look forward to your youtube post on 08/31.

Hey gg!

Check out my pics on my album. Minus 35lbs so far!

Hey gg!

I just watched your Vlog and I am sooo excited for you!! Have a safe trip and just know that I am sending all kinds of positive thoughts your way.

Hey Gurl!

I am sitting here going crazy waiting for the nurse to call me with a date.

Hopefully, you will have a date soon. You and your future hubby look so happy! I have to admit, I NEVER thought I would get married, but then I was blessed with a sweet man for a husband. I wish the same for you.

Hey Illiana!

Keep us posted, you are doing great....I am anxiously awaiting an answer from insurance company.

Hey Jenny!

Thanx for the nice comment. How are you doing? So far I am down 20lbs!

Hey Katieo-

My self imposed preop diet is tough. I eat a lot of chicken! My surgery date is 10/14/08, not too far away. How about you? Your insurance does not cover?

Hey NeNe!

I am doing fine, I did have surgery on 10/14 and so far I have lost 35lbs, check out my album!

Hey SNT!

I think I am going to go to the mall this week and buy something really cute and trendy in a size 16 ( I am a 22 now) , Just for the fun of it.

Hey Trina,

Good for you!! You gotta take care of yourself, girl. I am doing well, I have placed myself on a high pro, lo fat, lo carb, hi fiber diet. And, well it's going. I am mainly trying to accomplish 2 things, one, get used to eating every 2 hours and two, flush my body of all the bad stuff I have been eating! I am getting excited, only 19 more days!!! 10/14 here I come! By the way, I agree with gg your children are adorable and the little one is a TRIP! She needs to be in a commercial LOL!

Have fun at the reunion...!

Hey Trina,

That is called P'bing ( productive belching, I had never heard of it). You need to chew, chew, chew! I know I am going to have problems with chewing enough, I was a RN for 17 years and would be lucky to get 15 minutes to eat! Now as a FNP I can take my time, but bad habits are hard to break!

Hey Trina,

I am sooo happy for you! Keep up the great work! That other doctor had some serious issues with banding people! Isn't it nice to know that you are not crazy!!??

Hey!

I want to see pictures of your Doxies. I have one too, so I know you must be a great person.
