Happy 48th Birthday wayno38!

sorry folks, been off site for awhile! I am finalizing the hurdles thru my insurance company. 2 more months of weight monitoring and a cardiology check for the ticker. For the most part people are supportive but there are people (who are predispose thin) tell me to my face that I am weak and that lap surgery is an excuse for people to go the easy way out. I look at them in disbelief and realize that when I lose the weight; they lose an individual that they can make fun of or ridicule behind my back. I feel sorry for them now but all my life I wanted their approval. Go figure!!lol

I hope you had a happy New Year. Hope you are doing great!

hello! just wondering if dr ahmad takes medicaid?

You are chugging along! I hope you love the band as much as I do. I know it' "just" a tool, but it is a great one!

I too have had all those done. I just had my EGD done on Friday. It def. is a work in progress.

Hello Wayno38: My surgeon is Dr. Kim at Alta Bates hospital in Oakland, California. She is a fantastic surgeon. Very young and hip. She listens to my needs and accomodates my requests. The only down side is that she is located 85 miles from my home.

So do you live in L.I. NY or is that where you are having surgery? I thought it was cold here in Cali, but I can see I am better off here on the West Coast. :-)

Hello
