2 weeks from Today I leave for Mexico!!!

Headhunter, Wasa....you guys CRACK ME UP! Headhunter, I was seriously LMAO reading your post.! I told my "husband" (for whoever thought he didnt exist..) to read these posts tomorrow for pure enjoyment... To the rest of you supporters and those who had my back...THANK YOU! you guys are the best and will be the reason I will contine to be on, esp after July 8th.. (ya know, cause I ONLY care about Vanity...) LOL I will admit, I was kinda all over the place with my initial post... but only b/c i was excited! ASK ME next time instead of attacking me.. bc i WILL attack back! And ooops... I called it a REFILL...doesnt mean i didnt do my research, I just called it the wrong thing....shoot me. I am not a expert with the "banding lingo" yet. OP,PB,IMO,....i dont effin know? LOL As you all can see, I have done my research and am more than comfortable with my decision. and those that dont think so can suck it (in the words of Kathy Griffin) My father is obese and knows 100% what I am going through and is supportive. So is my mother, sister and close friends & not to mention my wonderful husband. THAT is on the only suppot I need... the cretins...really not losing sleep over you.. Oh yeah and the PCP and cardiologists have my back too. Unless, Toptier wants to argue? WE R ALL HERE FOR THE SAME END RESULT...to lose weight...whether its for health or vanity, who gives a sh**....being overweight is unhealthy, so who cares what our motivation is?? But seriously...all those that are trully supportive of myself and each other, THANK YOU!!! Mmmmmmmmmwwwwaaaaaaaaa Aggy! PS...I am 28, not 30.. My husband created the profile for me when i was away this weekend and was thinking of his age when entering the info... I cant get it to change?

Great! We should def get together!! I was at Hopkins in Baltimore for my heartattack! GREAT hospital!! Good luck!!! PM me and we will def be there for each other! Where are u in Elkridge? I live in the townhouses right near Timbers of Troy golf course b4 Giant (off of 100)

CONGRATS ON YOUR SUCCESS! NAW! I wont leave bc of a few bad apples! The people on here are great! you, WASaBubbleButt, headhunter....What would I have done w/o you! I felt like the new kid in school getting beat up!...However I am a Rugby player..they are only lucky, they dont know me in person! :blushing: 16 lbs is awesome!! you realize we are in June and you got the surgery in May!?! Keep it up girl! I am NOT letting anyone hold me down! Just more motivation to do good! and PS.....who pissed in yor protein shake? I was effin LMAO!!!! :confused: xoxo Agnes

aww...so sorry to hear you are so uncomfortable and in pain. I hear several peopl talkng about shoulder pain..i wonder why that is? the doc didnt tell you that you would have shoulder pain? I actually have a high tolerance for pain (like tattoos!) but i am a baby when it comes to nausea!! My surgery is costing me 7k (plus air fair from the east coast). I hope you feel better soon! keep in touch! Mine is July 8th!!

* I saw someone mentione PB-productive burb yeah, I have been told that I havent done my research when THATs ALL I have been doing! LOL But the same things I looked up, I asked people b/c I wanted to hear it directly from someone who is or has experienced it (in additional to what I have read..) So has the first 3 days been? It sounds like people are very hungry bc you are only taking in Clear liquids...

they have a very strict policy that u must be BMI 35 and over PLUS comorbidities ...no exceptions

Thanks! I appreciate the concern! but to put you at ease, there are several doctors in my area that do accept patients that had their surgery in Mexico. I def looked into that before making my decision

I know right! People like that dont belong on this site! But then there are SO many people like you and others that are so sweet and helpful! I respect someones opinions and dont expect to agree..however i hate when someone thinks they know me and they know NOTHING!

Thank you! I have been eating healthy and watching portion control for several years, so that part wont be a shock. But I know it will not by any means be easy or a quick fix! I think thats why it all has been beyond frustrating bc i make all the right food choices, bust my butt in the gym, count calories..and the scale hasnt budged in 2 years! (only up! ;( So this will def be a great TOOL for me! Thank you!

* Are you done??!! I have gained and lost weight all of my life, NOT TWICE. you are not in my shoes and DO NOT know the things I have gone through to lose the weight. I am by no means looking for YOUR approval.. It is YOUR opinion that I only need to lost 30 pounds! You are forgetting that each person is a different build... petite, medium and large frame. A 5'1 medium/large frame female may be "normal/thin" at 130-135, however NOT a petite 5-5'1 female. So your argument should be with my PCP and cardiologist who indicate i should be at 115-118. I know you SO BADLY want to be right in this situation, but you are NOT. "especially with NO co-moribunds and no history of weight loss problems is just not something I can support." ...oh..i am sorry!? Are you my doctor? ..that you know my entire history? I guess you missed the posts where I said I am on High Blood Pressure, Cholesterol meds, as well as Chronics Asthma and a heartattack at 26? Thats right, you are just choosing what you want to read to make yourself fell better. Can you please go annoy someone else!!!!!!! :biggrin:

MY bad! sorry about that! NO! and I wasnt talking about you when I said people can be mean!

PS...wasnt talking about you NurseMelly... however telling me to get my head check, wasnt very nice

* everyone is entitled to there opinion, even if I dont agree with it! Its just sad to see how some members on here are just down right mean!

I appreciate that! Thank you! i will def be in touch

* also think it was quit silly to have your "husband" (if it was really him, probably wasn't) ask about fills and how much work you will have to miss. If you know much about the surgery, then you should have informed you husband about that.. My "husband" really was my husband. I was away this past weekend visiting my father & erick was doing some searching online and found this site. He called and told me about it and that he signed me up so that we can ask questions to those who have been through it. i DID do my research, however he wanted to ask those that actually had the surgery to see if it may be different from what we have read or heard.. He cannot believe how judgemental and straight up vicious some people on here can be. Everyone has THEIR own reason for doing the surgery.. i shouldnt be at fault if ALL my reasons dont match someone elses. I would only wish EVERYONE who has done or is planning on getting the surgery only the best! Its so unfortunate we all cant be like that.

* Yet again, the original poster is NOT 50 pounds overweight. ..UMMMM, AND HOW THE HELL DO YOU KNOW THAT? DO YOU KNOW ME?? NO!!!!!! She's barely 30.... YEAH!! I ONLY WISH!! YOU SHOULD SEE HOW MUCH FAT I STILL HAVE ON ME W/O 30 POUNDS!!! FUNNY HOW YOU THINK YOU KNOW PEOPLE...YOU HAVE NOOOO CLUE HUGE difference. AND she has apparently NEVER had weight issues, other than right now. SERIOUSLY??? I HAVE HAD WEIGHT ISSUES SINCE I WAS A CHILD!!! ALLLLL MY LIFE!! I WAS UP TO 190! SO HAVE MY SISTER AND MY FATHER.... BUT THAT'S RIGHT..YOU THINK YOU KNOW IT ALL!! This is not directed simply at low BMI people. But this poster has not "struggled" with weight loss, she simply wants a quick fix so she can be a size 4 again. AGAIN, SERIOUSLY?!! YOU DONT KNOW ME!! I HAVE STRUGGLED! MORE THAN YOU KNOW! DO I WANT TO BE A HEALTHY 4 AGAIN? OF COURSE! IS THAT THE ONLY REASON? NO!! I just dont want to wait until I am 100 pounds overweight! and everyone on here would be lying if they said they didnt want the vanity in addition to the health.... soooo for your information... 1) I have had and chronic asthma all my life 2) I had a HEAR TATTACK at age 26 and have been on meds every since! so you have some balls trying to tell me that I don't care about my health!! 3) My cardiologist stressed to me that i should be at my LOWEST WEIGHT POSSIBLE (115) before I start a family! So you think i havent TRIED ALL I CAN to lost the 50 lbs? since YOU think it's so darn easy? I cannot have a baby bc i cannot get this weight off. SO FOR YOUR EFFIN INFORMATION, HEALTH IS MY #1 PRIORITY! And you will be the one for a rude awakening when Kharma comes back to bite you :biggrin:

I appreciate that THANK YOU!!!

BINGO!!!! Thank you! YES! There ARE doctors that WILL perform my surgery in the US, however they are 17-30K... and after MUCH research, I have chosen Mexico, not only for the much lower cost, but b/c the doctor I am seeing is very experienced and has done over 7 thousand procedures and has trained many US Surgeons... and there are doctors in the US RIGHT NEAR ME that will take patients that have had the procedure done outside the US.

thank you!! Good luck to you as well!!

THANKS HUN!!!! It's good to hear that SOME people understand you!!

Good Luck!!! My Apt in July 8th! Excited and nervous...but the excitment def out weighs it!!!
