I so love Elvira! lol. Good choice! This time next year will be wonderful! Actually, I am more excited about the summer! Woohoo!

ahh October 8th needs to be today! I cant even focus on my school work because of this lol.

Lol!!!!! ^^ Always use protection!

Oooh I am so happy for you! FYI Cigna is very very tough when it comes to getting any WLS. I know, first hand lol.

I totally agree with you!!!:teeth_smile:

As a Social Worker, I can tell you that if your depressed(clinically depressed) due to a chemical imbalance then losing weight is not going to make the depression go away. However, if its situational depression(as in, you are depressed due to the fact that your over weight and feel miserable about it) then the depression may vanish(forever, temporarily??, that varies with each person) but of course it takes time. I have had clients who were experiencing depression due to weight concerns, some were on medications and were post-op patients. A few of them were still depressed even after weight loss which to me signifies that they either have a chemical imbalance or another form of situational depression(many of my clients are domestic violence/rape victims). I have situational depression due to molestation and weight issues and I know for a fact that my depression will not go away just because I am thinner. When I was thinner and dealing with the molestation issues, I gained a whole lot of weight on and off meds. I am off medication, its been almost ten years and I guess my social work background has helped me heal a whole lot..

Aahh the anxiousness is killing me lol, in a good way.

I gave up soda about a year ago and it was PAINFUL!! I had terrible headaches from the caffeine withdrawal but it was the best thing ever! Once in a blue moon Id drink a little bit of soda but nothing compared to my college days. Everything we ate was followed up with soda.

congrats Hollie!!!! Amazing job!

Oh Anne, that is all I think about, life after a life changing surgery! I am excited, nervous but most of all I am ready for a CHANGE. Not just physically, but mentally and emotionally. It has been a tough road, but through struggles come success and through triumphs comes empowerment and I am ready to conquer my biggest fears. This is only the beginning! All of you are in my prayers!

My BFF, My aunt who had gastric bypass a long time ago, my Ex-bf, and my grandma. No one else knows!

So my goals are as followed: 1 Be able to fit in to anything H&M 2 Feel sexy 3 Join a dance team 4 visit my native Puerto Rico, go to the beach and wear a bikini 5 not feeling out of breath 6 able to sleep over friends' house without snoring 7 feeling better about myself 8 wearing cuter clothes during the hot summer days
