Hi denise, How did it go? I was at lehigh valley hospital wednesday night to for my info night. Im going to go with the lap band. Im not to keen on the cutting for the bypass. I am just waiting for the bariatrician to call and set up my appointment. :biggrin:

I would love to have a section for truck drivers that have been or are wanting to get banded. With the sedintary nature of the business and the lack of healthy food in truckstops I think it would be great to help each other to find a better way. Plus with the new 2010 regulations going into effect its more important than ever to start working towards better health! because with the new regulations your job may depend on it!!!

sent.......thanks for any help you can give!!:thumbup:

Thanks Anne :thumbup: Im thrilled at the thought of being at my ideal weight! I guess even the longest journey starts with the first step.

Ha haaaaa tossing the salad!!...my wife knows when I come upstairs with the bottle of maple syrup theres gonna be some salad tossing!!:thumbup:

It keeps telling me its an invalid url. I wasnt kidding bout the computer illiterate. I have used that pic in other places without an issue so im not sure how it could be invalid. hmmm......I even cropped and edited it to make it small enough. Im at a loss

Im trying to figure out how to take a pic from photobucket and place it as my profile pic......any help would be handsomely rewarded! thanks..:thumbup:

Hi everyone my name is Rob :thumbup: I just made the call for my Info night down at lehigh valley hospital in allentown. I went to my doctor this week and she did a BMI on me. I am 6-4, 466lbs right now with a bmi of 57.5!! I was shocked. she told me that I had almost 90 lbs of muscle and my ideal weight would be 265. That seems like a little on the big side still hehe. about 7 years ago I looked into the surgery...where they cut the intestine..roun-x-y or something like that but decided I wasnt keen on re-routing the plumbing!! so now im back bigger than ever and a little bummed out. but im taking the first step to finally making a change!! with better insurance this time to!! hehe "BCBS mass" hoping for the best! im looking forward to posting some positive results!!:thumbup:
