Hi arkansabandster,
It's so good to hear that you are successfully losing weight. No unfortunately, I have not been banded yet. However, on a more positive note I am in the process of getting my insurance company to approve the band. Things are starting to feel a little more real for me with actually being banded. I have alot of leg work to do on my behalf, but am excited that things are moving right along. It appears that you are doing a wonderful job with your weight lost. Keep up the good work and if you can post some pics. I am hoping to be banded by the end of May or the first of June.

Hi Sheryl,
I agree with you whole heartedly about trying to please everyone in my life except (me). Sometimes I feel my poor choices in my life have lead me to the point am at now. My 2 children are the center of my whole being, and they do need me more than anything in this world.I had my first official appointment today, and I feel really good about the choices am now making. I really do appreciate you being so transparent with me about somethings in your life. So many people betray having a perfect life and God knows I've never had one of those. My faith in God and loving support systems really keep me grounded.At this point in my life things can only get better for me. It is really hard for me to give back to myself, because am so accustomed to being there for everyone else! I really hope things continue to work out for you in your personal life and in your weight lost goals.

Hey DD2BB2,
Thanks so very much for your encouraging and kind words. I do know that my husband's issues are not related to my weight, but it is easier for me to use that as an "excuse" to deal with his unfaithful behavior. I do know that I can not give love or provide happiness to anyone else until I really have it for myself!
Again, thanks soooo much for your warm encouraging words. It is a blessing for you to have a loving and supportive husband in your life. That within it self makes the choice that much easier to make. I do pray that God will be able to deliver you off all of those medications really soon. I am so very thankful that I don't have to take any meds at this point. Again, be blessed and thanks for caring.

Hi Janet,
It's so hard for me to know so many people have lost so much in that very short period of time. The only thing that I can do outside of my donations is prayer. I do know God is able to do above and beyond the imagination of all man.
Have a wonderful and blessed day!

"You appear to be a warm kind hearted person. I tend to take on the concerns of the world sometimes and it can really get the best of me." (previous post)
I do understand how fast we mange several things at one time. (smile) I enjoy interacting with people with some of the same thoughts and concerns as I do. It is so very sad for me at times to cross the path of individuals who can't feel the hurts and pains of others. Lost is something that I am well aware of.
Be blessed and have a wonderful day.

I am new to the band world, and I have not gotten my band yet. All the paper work is in process and my first appointment has been scheduled.
You look so wonderful, and I viewed all the pics you posted before and current. You should be very proud of yourself. Seeing you really motivates me to work really hard on the new body I desire to have.
You really look amazing.
