september 16

:rolleyes:here it is sept 16. the nutrionist fax my records over to the doctor,s office. they were their a week from friday so i decided to give the office a call they were indeed there, i,m thinking the office suppose to call me for a appt. wrong she said i have everything except your evaluation i was shock if i had known you suppose to make your own appt. it would have been done earlier. so i ask who she recomend she gave me a name. but he,s in newhaven an dosen,t take medicare he charges $150.00 the one in my town charges$90.00 they are schedule for the 9/25/the other is for 9/24/08. i will stick to the one in my town wtby.so please don,t wait for the office to call you, you call them. i only waited untilfour days. then someone posted for me to call the office a i did.it,s next week so i hope everything goes allright. i don,t know if i,m going to be banded in sept. maybe oct at the most:thumbup:. so keeping my finger cross. good luck to everyone on our journey.:frown::cursing:

Hi today i had a doctor appointment but he said i did not need a fill, he told me i lost 15lbs between june-july.how happy am i.during july i took a vacation.down south(Tuskegee,Alabama).the hot south. but it has been 9 years since i seen my family i know that is a long time. but we always communicate over the telephone.boy were they shock,what a reunion we all had.i took my daughter an she do not want to go back,the temperture were in the hundreds. but somehow we survive.i did not know alabama was the second overweight state.i was shock.not to be mean but everyother person i saw had a weight problem.even my sisters.so i talk to them about the weight lost surgery.some say they don,t wanna take that route.but my niece is losing i am proud of her.for the fourth of july they cook out on the grill.an boy did we have fun food,food everywhere.but i thank my lapband i was not that hungry, i ate chicken,fish,coleslaw.watermelon.only small portions.an the thing about it i did not have a scale to weigh myself.so i did,nt even worry about my weight.that was a good thing.for two weeks.an it seems the pounds just fell off.hope everyone is doing great on your journey.but my total weight loss from 324lbs to 194lbs as of today.it is so good to hit onederland.my goal is to hit 180lbs.love you guys for all your support.:thumbup::thumbup::smile2:.
