Thank you so much! Is it open to anyone? I'd definitely like to attend. I haven't been banded yet, but would like to get hooked up with a support group prior.

Thanks for your comments! Best of luck to you on this fantastic journey.

Thanks for your response Willow. He's one of my top picks so far. I'm also considering Dr. Snyder in Denver. Those are my two choices if my insurance covers it. If not, then I will probably go with Dr. Kirshenbaum in Aurora because his fee is so reasonable for self payers. I live in Monument. I will keep in touch. Thanks again.

Tiff, Thanks so much for your comment. I'm so glad to hear that everything went ok with your surgery. You are one of our mentors here and I know lots of people here care about you. Hoping you have a speedy recovery and are back up and bouncing in no tme.

Trish, I did have sleep apnea. Dr Aceves office asked me to bring my cpap to Mexico, which I did do. They do not offer cpap's there, so you will need to bring your own. The good new is that after losing 35 lbs I no longer stop breathing at night and have been able to sleep fine without the cpap.

We leave for Mexico early morning the 18th for testing, then surgery on the 19th. How are you holding up with the liquid diet? I'm not sure I would have done very well on that. I'm pretty much able to eat any meat, and some cheeses, a few veggies, but no carbs. Are you getting nervous at all? What time is your surgery? Keep in touch.

Well we do know it takes time to get adjusted and that having regrets is Normal. I think each day will get better and better. Hang in there. We can lean on each other. *hugs*

Willow, Are you still happy with Dr. Fisher? I'm searching for a surgeon in Colorado Springs, and can't seem to find much information on any of them. Did your insurance cover your surgery? Do you know how much fills are with Dr. Fisher? I'm just starting the whole process, so any information you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

You look fantastic. I'm so glad to hear you are doing good. 50 lbs? Wow...that's a lot. Congrats and keep up the good work. I'm down 75 1/2 now and only have 29 1/2 more to go. I'm determined. Keep in touch.

You look so great! Hope things are going well for you.
