:update: Heard from the Dr Haag's office my surgery date is May 12 friday.. :clap2:

I am so excited 51 more days

Congrats !! Soon it will be here. Try to stat practicing some of the banded lifestyle things so you're not in as much culture shock after (like drinking lots of water and taking small bites). Good luck to you!

:dance: Thank you..

You must feel so good losing all that weight:clap2:

So u have lost likle 10 pounds a month? sounds good to me..

I was at the dr's office the weight was 261 with shoes got home and I was 257 without shoes like this better:p it's a new digital scale my daughter bought for me for my journey..:nervous

I am so excited I cannot believe it..I am glad I live in Massaschusetts it sounds like we have more support then other cities like NY some strange stories I have read on another site..

We really get alot of support from each other on the sites then we kind of do in person at times...last support group I want to there was a man that was really being a jerk and too bad she didn't throw him out..

But besides all this experience is positive for me I wish to be around for while:girl_hug:

I will keep in touch with this group on my awaited journey..

rosa, congrats on your date! your on your way

Thank you Tess..:huggie:

How are things with you?:drum:

Hi Rosa, yeah slow but sure I'm taking off about 5 lbs a month and I'm happy with that. you can see my slow progress under my signature but it took me more then a few months to put my body in this shape. a life time to be exact
