TrishS

Thanks for bumping it, it helps a lot

I havent been banded yet so i dont know what good and whats not really.... as of yet any way.... but wouldnt like Trail Mix or a slim fast bar be good???? not to sure...

Oh Jamie, I hope you will hear something soon too... let me know when you do! Leatha, yes, long travel.... with the Psych and diet.. appt. they were so egar to do it for me... The Dr. even told the Asst. "Do what ever you can I will even call myself if i have to" so i thought it was good... I will see what happens... I took plenty of classes in Psychology so maybe it will help hehehe i doubt it hahah but you never know.... Im so suprized there isnt anyone in Albuquerque thats does it either... there was one in Santa Fe.. but i called and the number was disconeccted.. its okay i dont mind the drive... Take Care everyone

So You all know im new to this Forum.. Anyway being new i snoop EVERYWHERE LOL I have knoticed there is a Chat Room.. hmmmm went in and its Empty.. maybe its late and everyone is sleeping.. which I should be doing.. anyway does anyone go in there? if so.. is there a time? I love meeting new people and I love to talk talk talk... ( is that the same as chew chew cheaw?) hehehe Well let me know... If not we should start going in there and Chit Chat.... Take Care

Well my Appt. went really well... but was kinda hurt when i was weighed.. like being 320lbs wasnt enough I went all the way up to 333lbs... Im so ashamed! <hanging head> I told my Doctor I dont care what it takes I need this as fast as i could. He said he would do his best. Also since im 400miles away from him he is going to get all my appts witht he dietian and stuff out here in Albuquerque where i am, so i dont have to makes so much trips, he said that it could be.. no promises.. by the begaining of March.. Well during our talk he told me he would want me to be on a liquid diet for 2 weeks before surgery Ugh that will be hard.. also wants me to stop smoking for 2 weeks before just another added toughness to my life. He said this will be great for me now because im healthy as a horse and it will stay that way.. woohoo!!! Another thing is was a little scared about.. (im such a scarey cat) is that he has only done 25 Lap-Band surgeries AHHHHHH My heart started racing hehehe but he reasured me with the fact he has been a surgen for over 30years, and that he was a primary Gastric Bypass surgen. I dont know if it makes things better, but i some what felt a little better. I am his 1st out of town patient so he was treating me really good with things that will save me a trip or two... like after surgery he told me he will see me 3 days after instead of a week so i wont have to drive to NM and then back CO a week later... I dont know again with hotel rates it just might be cheaper... My poor hubby hes going to hate driving after all this is over. Well i will keep you all posted with everything... Thanks for being such good friends

IM BACK!!!!! hehehe Jamie, your so cute! Anyway just got back about an hour ago we stayed the night last night because the drive is just to long to make a round trip. Well hubby and I are going to go out and buy some food, fridge is bare, so if i dont get back to late i will write.. he told me lots and lots of stuff... i want to share with you all and get your advise too.. I told him about you all and how supportive you are.. he thought it was wonderful for me to have good friends that know what i am going to go thourgh.... Ugh i better go I will write soon!!!

Oh not banded tomorrow.... just my 1st appt with Dr. still hope all goes well Thanks

Ohhhh you guys look so cute... perect!!! the same smiles!!! I need me and my hubby to take pictures together soon....

I love this site too... that so DOES count hehehehe *wink*

wow well done said... i wish i would of thought of that.... then again I think you made me think in some sort of way... Thank you.. I went as far as to ask my Hubby (just now) if there ever was a time that he didnt love me... he said "No, i might have been mad or upset but i never would think of not loving you" wow Im soooo lucky!!! We also have been married before and I saw a picture of his X-wife and Oh my she ws so pretty, thin, long dark hair.. big breasted... come on you guys like that... I have big breast now because im so big... anyway he told me that I was the only "heavy set woman" he had been with and he wouldnt change a thing... He loves me now... so I know he will love me then... "thin" hehehe Thanks for listening to my rumbble

Congrats with being Banded on the 24th... You will feel GREAT!!! okay, i havent had the band yet but I just know its the best thing... Good luck with everything

Well thats a actually intresting question... but I feel thats its something that most cant answer, being you cant put LOVE on a % if you know what i mean.... I think it depends on your relationship as it is now... yeah things will change but I think and feel that getting the Lapband or not shouldnt be a question over weather you would lose your spouse or not... sorry if im blunt...

I have had questions like that myself of not losing as much or as fast as the Bypass... what got me to want the bad so much is that you do lose the weight slower and they dont give you a intestine make over.. and that is it reversable. Im planning on having a baby after my weight loss and was told that i can even get unfilled and have a baby then get re-filled again, thats sooo sweet! hehehe its just the question of what you are really looking for. Good luck with your decision

I think.. its because you dont want to get full while you are eating... I havent been banded yet.. so i guess I could be wrong, but this is just from reading and learning everything...

You are very Handsome either way, but I know "personally" so many health issue that can occur being over weight... Your almost there... Keep your head up!!! Good Luck!

Im sorry you are having to go through so much with your insurance. My Primary Doctor will not approve what I am doing... I hope i will not need a referral. Keep strong and so all you need to, to get it done... Im just starting myself so I dont have all the info that most can give on here. sorry. Good luck with it and let us know how it goes!! Take Care

woohoo Vera Thats awesome.. and I bet it was worth every penny!

Congrats on your date! your almost there... I still have a road to travel (for real hehe) Im seeing my Dr. for the 1st tomorrow. Your 3 1/2 weeks will go by fast Good Luck with everything!!!

You are a lot stronger then I am for wanting to quit... Good Luck with everything Keep us posted
