Hey there! Just thought I would stop by and say welcome! It has taken me 10 months for the whole process to play out, I have my surgery on May 18th! I'm getting pretty nervous..being a few days and all...Hope to chat with you and answer any questions you may have. Take care!

Hi! I also get banded on the 18th! It is really coming up..one week! Getting nervous? I am..lol, Good luck with everything!

Hey lady! It's been a long time! I finally have a surgery date! May 18th and it's coming fast! eeks! So, it looks like you've been having some issues? That sucks! Let me know what's up!

still no date..sometime in april i'm hoping...so how long did you stay in the hospital? and the liquids sound like hell..lol..not looking forward to that!

wow lady..i'm scared...lol..you poor thing! it's good to hear what can happen though..thanks for not sugar coating it..and 15 pounds? that's insane! i kinda swayed away from my diet this past month..and just got strict again..i lost 5 pounds in 3 days...that was kinda weird! it must've been water weight or something?? i' m glad your doing better..must've been tough! who's taking care of you? luckily my mom will be available the whole time for me...take care! my name is jamie by the way..i don't know if i've ever told you? LOL

hey miss! how did it go? i hope all is well and your surgery was a breeze! let me know how your doing!

i'm going through the insurance requirements right now.(it's been a long process..ugh!)..but i am looking at getting surgery end of march or beginning of april.. i'm so excited to get it done! i've struggled all my life with weight..so it will be an awesome tool to help me lose and maintain!

that's awesome that your still losing..i'm still around the 25-30 lost since i've started the whole process..i keep cheating too...next week i have my 2nd nutrition appointment(insurance requirement) ..they are thinking i will be ready for surgery end of march /beginning april...it's getting closer! have a great day! take care.

hey lady! your date is coming up..how exciting! good work with losing 20+ ...i was gonna ask..how long are you taking off work? i've debated 1 or 2 weeks.?

hello! thanks for the friend request!

hey! so sorry to see that your date was changed! but gives you more time to prepare...right? i hope all is well, i went over to your youtube to check it out...such cute videos! i am not brave enough.. lol, oh and i love twilight! read all the books and saw the movie..im in love with edward! lol..take care!!

hey lady! how are you? getting nervous/excited about the BIG day? i'm so jealous..i wish mine was that soon! talk to ya soon!

hi there..i just saw your pictures and wanted to tell you congrats on losing 50+ already! im so ready for my surgery..probably wont be till april..just found out my insurance is requiring some extra stuff...bummed about that..but i'll get over it hopefully we can share some experiences!

i havent actually heard of him..where is he located? i just got a call from my center and it looks like my insurance in requiring a 3 month diet plan with a dietician. so frustrating!..at the beginning of the year, my employer decides to change insurance companies..(after 9 years!) just my luck! now i have all these new requirements...like the 3 month thing..i'm so sad...i just want it done now! lol

Hi there! You look so amazing! Congrats on your weight loss! I'm really excited to begin my journey..I'm close to getting the surgery..just a few more steps! Hope to share some experiences! Take care!

summer of 2008....and i think its just taking forever cause the weight loss center is so busy! it's a bit frustrating..but maybe i'm just being impatient? my bmi is 48..so that's not the problem..lol

Yeah, I did do the psych evaluation and just got my acceptance a month an half ago..But my consultation with the doctor (which was this last summer )is when I started to lose the weight..I guess I shouldn't have started so early..lol..cause it has been tough keeping it off.

yeah, i'm so looking forward to the insurance stuff Hopefully it won't take too long. were you required to lose weight when you started the process? they told me to lose 15 lbs..i did, really fast..but it has been hard keeping it off all these months..

Thanks girl! I'm really excited. I have 3 nutrition classes starting Jan 6..and then I guess they will submit my insurance. I started all this last summer..It's taking forever to get through all the appointments..How long did you have to wait?
