Yep, I do.

Lol. I'm only laughing because you called him an ass. Not the situation.

Congratulations to you! HUGE accomplishment.

I watched it, also! I watched that entire series of "my 600 lb life" I think is what it was called. Huge eye opener. My heart ached for all of them. But it was great to watch because it followed 4 people over e course of 7 years. It showed the struggles they continued to have over that entire time frame. I highly recommend it for anyone who thinks WLS is an easy way out.

Congratulations! Very happy for you and what a great achievement.

Keeping you in my thoughts. Wishing you a speedy recovery.

Wow! I have 38 days left! I completely remember when I had 124 and decided not to watch the days! Getting excited!

Thanks for keeping us posted and so glad to see you on the "up" side of this! Sending you healthy vibes and smooth sailing from here on!

Congratulations and wishing you a speedy recovery!

Same here...I'm headed to Mexico.

Congratulations. You'll be amazing and sleeved in no time.

Is that 35 BMI for lap band and no co morb? I went through VA here and for sleeve or any other WLS it was BMI of 40 or higher and no co morbs. I was told they would do the lap band at 35 BMI. I say "told," but I was given this booklet with my denial letter. Lol.

Congratulations. That's great news!

You look great!

Great questions to ask and great blog!

Aaaawwwwww, it stinks. I am pre-sleeve. My hair is mid-booty and thick and curly and I suffer with finding a ponytail holder to go around twice. Once is not enough,twice is too much. I am also a cosmetologist. I have approx. 15-20 clients that have weightloss surgery. I FINALLY convinced approx 1/2 of them to cut their hair due to how thin it was. Those women now have their thick hair back! Cutting it helped to put it in a trendy hairstyle, keep a shape to it so it can grow back out again. so yes, it appears thicker and trendy. The few that opted to just let it hang, looks more thin than before. It's really only because the new hair that is growing back in hasn't been enough to "fill in" where it had all come out. All of them have their hair growing back, it's only what they do with it in the "in-between" that makes it better. So, yes, rock your new 'do and love it with all the weight pouring off. The hair comes back. Eat your Protein and take your supplements. Hope this helps.

I am pre. My date is January 11! I'm so excited, as I'm sure you are, also. and a fellow cosmetologist!! At least I didn't have to take all the class hours again. That's what they stated initially but I appealed and it worked out. Taking the tests was the easy part. But, it's amazing the "textbook" material you don't account for daily. But, I passed them first time through and was grateful.

I'm just now seeing you had responded. That would be no problem at all. (Talking on the phone)

Very happy for you! You look great and you look VERY happpy! Congratulations on your success!
