GOODNESS GRACIOUS! 9 PAGES. I feel yer pain! I'll say a little prayer for you. Might not hurt if you do the same. YOU will be fine. They make money helping folk out, not sending them home. Youve just got tot shake it off. Take some good brisk walks. Do a food menu,or diet for a week or two and even pre-pack as you can to take yer mind off of it. Do ANYTHING to get your mind off of it.Keep posting here to for reassurance! Hang tough. You will need to be strong for all to come! Good Luck! Sincerely, Sandy PS. A little note to Ms Chicago. Great job! Keep up the fine work, and feeling good about yourself! Sandy

Jesus is the reason for the Season! And what you said, all very true and worth posting. Holidays are HARD on folk! If they allow it. My wish for ALL on this forum this Holiday Season is that they be kind to themselves. Moderation is everything. Presents are just stuff, so if ya dont get one, its less to clean, and please be kind to others. Take time to visit a homeless shelter, with out empty hands. Adopt a family in need. Happy Holidays to one and all, from Me and My Family to you. Thanks Cheryl, again Great Post!!! Woo Hoo!! Sincerely, Sandy

looks like you just had surgery tfm. how are you feeling? Sandy

Good idea TFM, but it aint the same. The granola I buy isat Sams Club, and a tropical type and if kept to 1/3 cup per yogurt, calories arent that bad, but who am I kidding. Ive never measured much in my life. Dont even have a scale as of yet. THAT's what the Doctors Office is FOR!ROFL!: Daily Chef Fruit & Nut Blend - Tropical Mix - 44 oz. Divinity in a BAG!

Well, last time I checked I was wanting a lap band. Skinny Girl cocktails didnt get me there:) Just sayin....OH! Nice weight loss Red!

I LOVE the chobani greek. I will NOT like giving up the granaola/nut type mix that I stir in it after lbs, as a lot of it is nuts, seeds, etc. I dont think one can eat that.Actually theres a LOT I'm gonna miss. LOL! Sandy

Ive been told that Insurance wont pay for fills. Or that floks just pay for their own fills. Ive heard 600 a fill. Whats the deal. I dont want to get a surgery and then not be able to afford the fills to make the toll Ive been given work! Sandy (no relation to Hurricane:)

Its my thread, if you had bothered to read.Yer book was a waste of money.Oh well Goodwill will get a great price for it! Sandy

w/out calling my doctor to ask her what the competition charges. puh leeeeeeze! im outta here, i dont enjoy participating in games grown ass women play.

A, not true. I got my answer .

by the by, who died and left yall in charge of statements here on forum. I thought that was Alex's job. N YEAH I WILL stand up for myself, every time. Thats my civil right. Thats one of the reasons I wasnt major keen to get started here, because of knowit alls. Alex, now do you see why it tokk me a while to participate? Sandy

what does one call the others who has let the weight loss go to there head. I wont say it, yall 3 smarty pants figure it out! IDK, but dont call me.

All 3 of you. If ya dont like WHAT I HAVE TO SAY Bugger off. I dont need to be told by a few people with the wight goin to their head to tell me a grown ass woman what needs said done, whatev. So mind yer business. Not mine. Ill have to make sure and give yall more unwanted advice. Thats the equiv of this. So ya know what you can do with yer opines. Sandy-USN VET!

What ev...... I could get it done at the Va Med Ctr. for virtually free if I trusted them to do a good job. But I am going to use the Private Sector instead. Im still filling out this stack of paperwork. Lets see, "Hoiw many times do you go to the bathroom.......rofl JK!! But it COULD BE there. This is comprehensive to say the least! Sandy-USN VETERAN

This is my BEST Chris Rock impression: Good Lawd its expensive w/out Insurance! and MIS73, I hate it when people tell me what not to post, even if its well meant, its bossy. Hmmph! Thank you all for giving me a ballpark set of figures. That way I'll know if mine is way to expensive or very cheap, hoping of course that it is the last one. Sincerely, Sandy USN-VETERAN

ideally and if i could do anything I would like the sleeve w/ plication. did i say that right. yep, uh i think, lol!

what a hoot! thats a great thang!penis!

keep us informed. every minute you can, what is going on. Im half tempted. the plication doesnt sound bad either. good luck! Sandy

I havent actually dont the band diet, but some similar strict diets. I think it'll get much easier the last half. Good luck, hang tough, and I admire yer bravery and determination! Sandy

you make some valid points. good post! Sandy

You made some good points. sorry this is redundant. Doh! , as H SIMPSON would say!

WOW! I made a VERY SIMILAR statement on this thread, titled:" It's time I told my story now" or something to that effect. I SOooo agree with YOU and it IS SO VERY SCAREY, if you believe what ya read, or read what you believe or something like that one will start thinking as you and I obviously do. Total confusion, frustration, or AT LEAST SOME, SOME mixed emotions. N I had at least one griping (or so it seemed) because I aired these feelings, to see if others may feel the same emotions. So NOW I KNOW that my feelings are NOT SO UNUSUAL.t least we are able to weight he pros and cons, when given that option, and thats whats important. Not jumping in with both feet till we are good and plenty ready! LOL! Sandy

Love the, You have made a statement for me that will do a lot of good for MANY people, not JUST ME. I appreciate your observations, right or wrong. We all have our indiviudal issues with these weight loss tools. I happen to be one that shared. Please dont make me regret sharing, with this personalization approach. Id rather just be sharing my thoughts, feelings, etc. ,with those that can relate. I hope you understand, and thanks ahead for doing so. Sincerely, Sandy "just one of the guys"
