  5. I book my surgery about one month ago lots of people know i want to get it done but not to many knows that i actually book the date. No one though i would get the $16 000. I haven't told my parents cause they are just going to put me down about it anyways. My dad told my husand one of my mom friend got it done 25 years ago and it didnt work for her. Everyone that i told too are so happy for me and they just hope i will be happy and healthy.

  7. I have told so many people about the band its all i have been researching and talking about for the past year but now that my day is coming what if i don't lose any weight wow wont i look stupid, and broke.
  8. I am determined to show health care too since they are giving me such a hard time with the lap band. The doctor told me they should give me what ever $$$ they cover for the bypass that would be nice. Anyways you don't get anywhere without trying so I'm trying to fight health care.
