I haven't had the surgery yet. But I can tell you I researched Hurley. I talked to past paitents, hospital staff. ect. I was very picky about where I wanted to get it done. I had investigated U of M, they had too many obstacles. I also looked into Cori Center, Borgess and a few more. I liked Hurley the best and I am very happy I did. No one there makes you feel like you have done anything wrong. I choose the band because I don't want the dumping or the damage the other causes. Hairloss, dumping, vitamin defeciencies really aren't my thing!

That is my surgeon! I am so glad it went well for you! I get banded Tuesday....nerves are kicking up now! :rofl:

Awww I am sorry! But just keep working and it will come back off in real lbs not just water. I get that around the time Aunt FLo comes to visit. Makes me very angry!

hey I am in Michigan too! :rofl: How about donating them to Goodwill or the Salvation Army? It would be a good tax write off as well for the year!

I have NEVER had a cute set, and I can not wait! I just hope the girls SHRINK! I have been a DDD since 13, so I am hoping I can be just a D. When I was nursing I was a GGG. NOW THAT IS PAIN! I can not wait to shop at Victoria's Secret!

Down another 2 lbs. on ther pre-op. I am sure I will be under 300 when I get the surgery! WOO HOOO! My hubby told me I'd better stop loosing or they wouldn't let me have surgery. I thought that was very sweet for a DH. :faint:

Hey straws so I am I! Just a bit over with the traffic now though.

lol...I bet she was sorry you even knew she bought them!

Anyone in a support group near Jackson/Lansing? I will not go to the gorup in Jackson @ my church. I don't want them to know. Thanks!

Just keep going! Working at it is all that matters!

Congratulations to you! :biggrin1: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2:

Congratulations! MY hubby graduated from there in 1995. It is a very nice base. Such a proud experience I am sure. Makes me miss military base life! :confused:

LOL...sounds like it is time to let them go!

Ok I messed around this morning and tried to make something new. This one was SOO good, I made it for all 3 shakes! yummy... 1 scoop chocolate flavored protien 8 oz soy milk 1/4 bananna 1 tsp Peanut Butter (SMALL amount because of calories) 2-4 ice cubes depending on how you want consistency! It was very very good.

What a great feeling! GOod for you and a standing ovation for all of your hard work! :clap2: :clap2:

I love Kat! I want to get one of her portraits on my back when I loose all the weight. I love her b/w stuff. I think she is one of the only people on the planet that can make those star face tattoos look beautiful! lol.. You were so lucky to meet her! My daughter's name is Faith too! (my youngest)

What will you do with those old underwear? I have been contemplating this, there are so many options. I could make a tent for the homeless they are so big. BUT...this is what I have decided... I will have a cermonial bon fire and dance around in a thong. I will watch my grannie pannies burn away and say my last goodbyes with no regrets. I will make sure my neighbor is watching for all of the times she made my DH mow the lawn when it didn't need it because she prances around nearly naked in a bikinni. Just so she knows that she now has competition, and she will not be the only hot one in the neighborhood!! :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: What will you do?

Thanks that actually does!

I am currently seeing a chriropractor for neck pain, back pain and carpal tunnel. I just don't think it will be a good idea to get adjusted after the band. Other than maybe my neck and wrist, and then it seems like a waste of money. Does anyone continue to see the chriropractor after banding?

Thanks. I doubt came form all of the BAD stories. SO yes, I do want to hear some sucess stories. It is human to want more than may be given to you, and I will be the first to say I would like to loose more than 2 lbs a week. BUT after everyone helping me I KNOW now that it is better to make a change that will last forever than a quick drop that will never change me! The problem is me, not food. I want to know that someone else has felt the same way! Thank you to all of you. You actually helped me greatly! Thank you! Hugs to all.

Lol...I know I have! Thank you for reminding me!

Thank you all. I appreciate the support and it makes me feel so good to know that other people have done it! When I went for Pre-op all the nurse, dietician and dr talked about where the negative things of people not loosing. That was hard to listen to! I just needed someone to tell me that they are doing it, so I can too! I hug you all and congratulate you for your achievements! I will learn to make the right choices. I have to do this! :kiss2: Thank you all!

Congratulations to you!! I am very happy for you! You are on your way girl! :clap2: :clap2: :clap2:

Hey guys, I need some help. I am wondering now if I am doing the right thing. Everyone keeps telling me (dr, nurse, dietician) that I will only loose 1-2 lbs a week. And then I read about people not ever loosing anything. I am doing the band because the R En Y seems too drastic for my age. BUT if I won't loose on the band what is the point. Maybe I am jsut having a bad day, maybe it is reading too much negative stuff. PLEASE PLEASE give me some sucess stories! NO MORE BAD NEWS PLEASE!!! :help: :help:
