ah yes i saw what you wrote about them thats great :cool2: i have my preop tomorrow im really excited about it.! well freaked out too i guess technically its later today but whatever right lol.. sorry nervous rambling i havent ever reall had a surgery before so im being a little girl about it :blushing:

Haha i must be pretty odd then i usually have my friends my age or younger than me altho i had one guy that was my friend that is like 35 or so now so i usually dont have off the wall ages for my friends but that might be because thats just who i run into :tongue_smilie:tp be honest i dont care what age my friends are i just figured posting here would be the appropriate place :blushing:

Omg long post but it was so useful thanks! I feel so much better about going in! You can send me a private message if you like always need more buddies

Going with a 401k loan we are paying off an old one so we can take out a new one however they say you have to wait 30 days before you can take another one it's kinda lame

Ah might have a slight snag getting our loan the paperwork may not be able to be processed till 30 days from now I hope I can find a way around it !

Oh yea I'm ending up paying like 15,300 for pretty much everything and fills for the first year. They are like 15 min away from my house too which is nice no travel expenses lol

Yea I'll be getting banded in a few weeks I'm terrified lol but I'm going to do it anyway! I'm going to that banding center in Kearny Mesa I asked around about it but nobody said anything about it so .. I'm not too great with the research I hope they are an ok bunch

I've been overweight since I could remember... Haha so I haven't even thought about a goal weight! I just have my eye on the prize being no more shopping In the big girl stores and no more misses section I want to wear cutesy juniors clothes..! I hope you get your date soon I already got mail from a few people on the board they seem super nice :wub:

Im going to my pre op appointment there Wednesday I was hoping to find some things on them too.. I'm self pay and they informed me it would be 15,300 for pretty much everything including the fills for the first year... So let me know how your experience goes I'll share mine too!

Hi I'm Lindsey from the San Diego area I'm 28 years old I have been lurking the forums here and decided I should post.. I would love to make some friends around my age that I could go through this with I'm a bit scared so I just thought having some support and maybe being some support would help me along.. I have an iPhone so I get free texts and everything and probably every messager under the sun.. I'm on the nerdy side I met my husband on a video game, I draw anime all the time, love karaoke.. Well if I could find a buddy on here great but I ramble on.. :rolleyes2: hope I meet a few new friends here.. Oh and I should have my band sometime in august.. Preop is on Wednesday!

This thread is a few months old but I'll post here anyways. I'm new to the board and have only been in the San Diego area for 2 years so I don't have many friends here for the support and it would be nice to have people around that know what in talking about.. My friends and husband are thin so none of them really get me alot of times. I'm having pre op appointment for my band on Wednesday so I'll probably be getting my surgery a few weeks later.. With all the horror stories and things I've heard I'm still going through with it anyway.. But yea back to the point it would be great to have some so cal buddies! I live in Santee :rolleyes2:

Hi i'm new and was just lurking the forum for a few hours trying to make up my mind.. I have a pre op appointment on wednesday.. well i suppose that would be me already with my mind made up right haha.. Umm but I have just heard so many horror stories and whatnot.. Its scary but im still going to go through with it! ohh and how about a real introduction! Hi i'm Lindsey and from California i'm 28 years old and married with no kids yet.. I hope to meet some good friends to go through stuff with me.. I'm planning on using a camcorder to make a kind of video blog so wish me luck..!
