hi all i just saw that there's a chat room on here. we should set aside maybe a 2 hour window once a week where we get together and chat. of course you dont have to chat that whole 2 hours (who has the time). We could just jump in the room to talk live, share ideas, answer questions, vent etc. let me know what you all think. welcome to the new hotties:-)

hey all peggy we do have a journey ahead of us and as long we use the tool we will be healthy in the end. i do have alot to lose and im ready to start a healthy life. i looked at both options and i decided the LB made me more comfy. yes we would probably lose faster with GB but we made these decision for a reason. i would really like to lose 10-15 pounds before i start the shakes. i didn't expect to get a date so soon. i need to go buy the multi-vitamins today. i hope after the jan. surgeries start you all come back so we all know how you are doing. later

hi all my date is jan 22. im excited and nervous. i look forward to getting to know everyone. daqui

hi i just got my surgery date, jan 22. im so happy but a little scared. i had surgery before but this is different. i'll be at scott and white in temple. keep in touch

hi ladies im so happy that someone finally posted here, i knew i could not have been the only waco person on this site. im pre-op and i would love some local support too.

i went to a seminar on aug 12 in texas and just today i was able to set an appt to go in to see the nurse practitioner. it has been a long time for me too so i would have to agree with the others, go into the office and speak to someone. one thing i try to remember is that there are alot of us wanting to get this done so sometimes the staff can get a little busy. hang in there:thumbup:

congrats on the new date, it's just around the corner

hi all phyl- im in texas, hot and humid way too much. im so happy to have found this forum. ann congrats on that great loss and thank you for the well wishes. im a little nervous about everything but i know this is the right decision. sue i have to say congrats to you too on 28 bmi. i am so looking to improve my life. my legs have stated to hurt recently and sometimes its hurt to stand a long time. i guess the weight is starting to take a toll on me. froggi i understand how the paperwork part can drive you up the wall. hang in there it will all work out. i have to do the 3 month diet/exercise, my insurance requires it. i've been dieting the last 4-5 years but hey if 3 months can add years to my life its worth doing. inspired im in the beginning phases too. we should buddy up. i've tried everything but my highest weight lost was 34 pounds, i was sill proud of that but it didn't make me healthy. good luck on gettig your bmi down. i think that covers everything, lol. enjoy your day:tongue_smilie:

congrats!!! i agree that no one knows how wonderful an approval is unless they have been through being overweight keep us posted
