Hi!

I just recently started my "permanent" weight loss journey. Here's some info on me:

I've done the psych evaluation and met with the dietitian. I'm scheduled for my first surgery class next week.

I see Dr. Nagle at Northwestern Memorial Hospital in Chicago for my second visit on 8/10/05. All of my information should be sent to the insurance company right after.

I'm presently 248 lbs. I want to get to 150ish.

Employed Full-Time

Full-Time College Student (3.8 GPA Yipee!)

Wonderful husband and three year old.

Great parents who have helped out soooo much!

Good luck with your "red tape" stage. The surgery will be here before you know it!

Full-time college, full-time job, full-time 3-year old? When will you find time for surgery?! :-)

U go girl and drop it like it's hot! I too am awaiting the band. I can drop it like it's hot now , just can't pick it up worth a damn!! lol Give us about 6 months after the band!!! lol

Hi Zaks mom, Welcome to LBT!! It is a wonderful site isn't it???

Good luck with your new journey!

Hello!

Met with Dr. Nagle today (great guy) and we decided that I'm going to do the gastric bypass. I'm a little squeamish about having a foreign body in my system. :sick

Guess it's time to go back to obesityhelp.com. It was a blast!

Zaksmom, if you change your mind again, stop on by. You can still stop by even if you go for the RNY. We don't discriminate! Whatever you choose, good luck from another Chicagoan.
