congrats MissMay... hopefully nothing will go wrong... ya, at the support group that's what people were saying... very unlikely. i think i just need to know what causes things, so i can avoid them. hearing over and over, either an inconclusive answer, or basically saying it's al left to chance has been a bit unnerving. i wish you the best of luck, and congrats on making it this far. hopefully i'll have the same type of post in a little while =)

oh ya... once i start losing weight.. i want one of those lil ticker factory things u all have =)... how do i get that? thanks guys... you're awesome!

i am pretty 'set' on getting the band... but i am nervous. i feel that doctors just Tell you things... they're not going to say anything bad, b/c @ the end of the day, medicine is a Business... and they want to cut you open, and get $. now, i'm not a doctor basher, my sis and brother-in-law are both doctors...not surgeons, but in the field...and i STILL don't trust it. i'm going through with it definitely... i want to prevent high blood pressure, and everything else. i don't have many 'symptoms' aside from morbid obesity (haha..lil' thing)... i don't have high blood pressure..yet, i know on this track, i definitely would...i'm not super woman. i'm sure i'll wake up from surgery (God willing..etc...) i'm sure the procedure will go well (God willing..etc...) but the part that i can't even say "I'm sure i'll be fine" is all this damn slippage erosion NONSENSE i'm goin to the 2nd support group tonight in mineola.... all of my questions @ this point are focused on "alla'dat nonsense" i really can't wait, i'm super excited n all.....but it's gonna happen, asap i'm definitely ready for the rest of my life... and just want to jump start a healthy adulthood, and on ....if you lose weight SLOWLY and workout...can u prevent all of this hanging skin? ugh....hopefully i can get some HELPFUL tips on avoiding allllllll that i truly want and know i will do my ALL to avoid

that all sounds amazing...unfortunately not in a good way. sorry to hear u had to go through all of that.. hope all is well i did want to know, was your band sewn in? some are not, and some are,..depends on the doctor are you aware of which you would have received?
