Amen to that!!! So true!

Cheryl... you mean they are not used for starting fires in the fireplace? Dang... that's where I went wrong. No worries.... you get what you work for! Love the post!

I do eat pizza, just not like I use to. Someone recently was putting down the band and not being told about medications. I was told I would need vitamins, minerals, B12 and fish oil. These were mentioned more than once and I take all chewables and they taste fine. Also mentioned was having their gall bladder out, that was one of the pre op tests. I had mine removed 38 years ago so I didn't need it done.

Yay congrats to you! So proud of you! The pain will pass as you said. Just when you think it wont you will wake up and be like.. hey I feel awesome today! Just remember to walk walk walk those gas pains out. Welcome to the banded side =)

great to see you online ladybabies. welcome to the other side.

Sorry to hear that. It sucks when you have your heart set on something and it seems so out of reach. I started this process on Jan 30 of 12 and I will have my surgery Jan 30. It took some time in between appointments and I had to do the 3 mos Dr Supervised diet. I was lucky in the respect that it only took 30 days for Ins to approve me and the first time. I was really thinking they wouldnot because I have a lower BMI and no Co morbidities but it did help to have had a hip replacement ( born with Congenital hip displaysia) and GERD neither was a result of my being ovwerweight but the longer I was I am sure prob would arise. I needed this whole year to reaearch and process all this info and decide if I really wanted this. I hope time goes by fast for you. I know it all depends on what diff Ins companies require. Good Luck... Jan

Will keep you posted.
