Last of 2008 Weight Loss Challenge
MiniPearl#2 replied to FeliciaLevy75's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
HI just thought I would get in on this challange. If that is ok with you? I had mini gastric bypass but I was a lower bmi so Im up for a challange to get pass platue -
No Reggrets, I have been planning on gettiing lapband and everything,I got my pass to go to mexico, Im just waiting on the money, BuT..... Now Im considering Route y , it is reverseable, and my friend had it and is averageing losing 10 pds a month. I also hear you lose it faster, andthey use the side of you stomch with more muscle so you have a hard time stretching it back out. It is 17,000 around oklahoma. I hope to get enough money cause I would rather not leave the states.

Where is the cheapest selfpay Doc. in okla? Im planning on going to Dr. Ortiz In Mexico When my hubby gets settlement. I hope is very soon. Does anyone from okla. Have to go to Mexico?

What is the lowest Bmi a person can have and still be banded? I was just wondering, Oh Audrey your doing great Ive been watching on and off since you got banded looking good. You know I was waiting on husbands settlement, well I hear they are supposed to be ready to make an offer. I dunno if hubby will take the first offer so I know its getting close. I joined a gym 3 months ago, since then I have lost from 199 to182 a wholotta working out going on. I just wanna be in good shape for surgery, its actually motivating knowing for once in my life I may be able to lose the wait then acctually keep it off. I cant wait. Another question is Dr. Ortiz charges 8500-9500 is flight included or not?

Welp its me again whining like a little baby, my hubby called and they wanna check his shoulder now, guess itll be a lil while longer. It seems I have no sympathy by now lol lets just get this over so I can go to the doc. lol ! I cant wait much longer, of course no one in my whole family wants me to do this. But they dont live in my body and feel like I do. Mom said I spend all the money on my body. I could do alot with that money, makes me feel guilty but I cant get my mind off it, its always on my mind,I wanna see my skinny picture one day. Does anyone feel like I do? Sorry to whine to you all but you are my only support on this decision.
