madpassion

One night years ago this guy I had been dating spent the night and the next day he was outside smoking with my roomate. My roomate asked him "So did you guys get down last night or what?" My guy replied with "Ya, didnt you hear the mad passion going on all night?" So after that they all started calling me madpassion and it just kind of stuck.

I got my Mirena in October 2008. I havent had a period since, but i've noticed that my face breaks out worse than before around the time of the month that I should get my period. I dont have the band yet, but prior to getting the IUD I was steadily losing weight. I had lost about 45 pounds, but once I got the IUD the weight loss just stopped. I was always missing my pills, and didnt like the nuvaring, so for me the IUD has been the best option.

Hi cherrygirl85, I've wanted the lapband for a while, and today came across your post in a websearch, i joined the forum and made an appt with Dr Krahn. My stats are just like yours 5'5", 315 lbs, although im starting to think thats just where the scales top out, cuz i feel like i've been piling on weight lately. Anyway, thanks for the inspiration. I've never been this excited to go to the Dr. :thumbup:

What was your first step? I also have Anthem Blue Cross PPO and on the provider finder its just too dificult to narrow it down. They dont have any options for this specialty. Did you start with a family dr or find a surgeon right off the bat?
