We need a place where we can support each other through our "more than most" journey. Just as turtles don't get much out of hearing us talking about fast we're losing, maybe it would give us a nice break from "I'm getting banded because I need to lose 60 lbs".

I think we have our own unique challenges, expectations, baggage, etc. -- and we need our own little niche to support eachother. We all have a very long journey ahead of us, and need to band together.

Hi Guys!

I am not a supersized bandster, but like to lurk on this thread. You all are so inspiring !! I hope to have the same success you all are obtaining when I am banded.

Back when I was researching WLS, I went to an RNY support group meeting. They would have a scale there for the larger patients, because I am sure most of them did not have one at home. You may consider calling a few support groups in your area to see if they do that too. Much better than trying to jump on the scale at your father-in-law's work when no one is looking!

Congratulations are in order losingjusme!! Do home scales go up to 350? I haven't been able to get on one in so long I have forgotten. If so I might think about buying one... I just don't want to be a scale whore.

You can buy an "obesity scale" on ebay that goes up to 550 pounds. I bought one back in November so I could weigh in between doctor visits. Think I paid less than $50.

Just to let you guys know, I made it to twoterville this past weekend. Sat. 1-20-07 I weighed in at 298 I was so happy that I cried. Now I have to continue to work hard at stepping:bolt:far away from 300 as possible. I haven't been at this weight in 12 years:omg: .

CONGRATULATIONS! I too will probably be a crying happy mess if I can just get under 300. Right now that seems almost an impossibility. I am still in the waiting for approval from BCBS process. My 37th bday is on 1/31.. maybe I'll get approved for my bday!

Awesome Tann- I hope to join you soon!!
