Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

CONGRATULATIONS! :clap2: hang in there its worth all the pain.

I cant wait to be banded!!!!!!!!!!

Amen!!!!!!!!! Lingerie always make me feel better, even though im single I still wear it just for me when i dont feel so happy

Wasa,

I never really know how to say what im feeling to these type of questions and i'll be damned if you didnt hit the nail on the head with your answers especially the last one!

Im so sick of going to doctors and getting the "LOOK". Dont pity me im FAT not stupid or blind! I human and have feelings. ARGH!

I have asthma just had my first attack this past JUNE and I was scared to death. My son has asthma and has had it since birth so i know what the attack looks like but i had no idea what it felt like. When I had my first attack it was a rude awakening the feeling is nothing like what i thought it felt like.(hope that makes sense)

I say all that to say I havent been banded yet but i hope to God my asthma goes away with the weight loss.

An asthma thread would be great

CONGRATULATIONS on LIAM's arrival!!!!!!!!!

I was having the worse day and I read this post all i can say is THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Im sorry that you had to go through all that but THANK YOU! RFLMAO

I have been a big girl most of my life and never very comfortable with my body, so i never had regular sex encounters. Thats probably why im single now!?!LOL

I cant wait to be skinnier so I can finally have all this mind blowing, balancing on the excersise ball sex i've been reading about!

<p><p>I havent had surgery yet but this is who i am! Hi every1 you guys look awesome!</p> <p> </p> <p></p></p>

Good Luck!

I went to have my consultation with my surgeon and oh my lord I cant stop smiling!

I had my nutrition report, PCP ltr, saw the pulmonologist, and psych eval visit(he hadnt received the report yet). He said my doctor kept good notes and I may not have to wait the 6 months! He also said there is a slim chance the insurance wont make me wait, I cant help but be excited:whoo:.

In the meantime I have to see the cardiologist for clearance and then I will be all set.

Now that I have come down from the clouds:faint:, I do realize that i will most likely have to wait until April/May but thats cool too. I have waited 33 yrs 6 months wont kill me but it sure does feel like it:eek:.

I had my eval today and it took about 30 minutes. She really didnt ask many questions about how much i knew about the band. Most of them were just to get in my head and make sure i was stable with eating disorders.

She did however say that i have post traumatic stress disorder from the bus accident i was in last year. Dammit!

oh well i passed !

GEMINI all day everyday!!!! June 4

My eval is scheduled for 12/4, so I will tell you about it then.

Just wanted to :welcome: you to the board and good luck on your journey!!

I hope your doing well! I had an impacted wisdom tooth and it was no fun. The best advice i could give is to keep the cold air out and take those meds!

Good luck

I just thought i would share that. It brighten my day and sickened me a little. LMAO!

Don't toot in Bed

If this story doesn't make you cry for laughing so hard, let me know

And I'll pray for you.

This is a story about a couple who had been happily married for years.

The only friction in their marriage was the husband's habit of tooting

Loudly every morning when he awoke.

The noise would wake his wife and the smell would make her eyes Water

And make her gasp for air.

Every morning she would plead with him to stop ripping them off because

It was making her sick. He told her he couldn't stop it and that it was

Perfectly natural. She told him to see a doctor; she was concerned that

One day he would blow his guts out.

The years went by and he continued to blast them out!

Then one Thanksgiving morning as she was preparing the turkey for

dinner and he was upstairs sound asleep, she looked at the bowl where

She had put the! Turkey innards and neck, gizzard, liver and all the

Spare parts and a malicious thought came to her.

She took the bowl and went upstairs where her husband was sound asleep

And, gently pulling back the bed covers, she pulled back the elastic

Waistband of his underpants and emptied the bowl of turkey guts into

His shorts

Some time later she heard her husband waken with his usual trumpeting

Which was followed by a blood curdling scream and the sound of frantic

Footsteps as he ran into the bathroom.

The wife could hardly control herself as she rolled on the floor

Laughing, tears in her eyes!

After years of torture she reckoned she had got him back pretty good.

About twenty minutes later, her husband came downstairs in his

Bloodstained underpants with a look of horror on his face. She bit her

Lip as she asked him what was the matter.

He said, 'Honey, you were right.' 'All these years you have warned me

And I didn't listen to you.'

'What do you mean?' asked his wife.

'Well, you always told me that one day I would end up tooting my guts

Out, and today it finally happened.

But by the grace of God, some Vaseline, and two fingers, I think I got

Most of them back in.'

I found this article about the Telemetric Band

LAP-BAND: Laparoscopic Obesity Surgery | Easyband

I just read your goodbye to her and I am balling my eyes out. I can see you strength in the letter. I hope that you can get through this without any more tears. You didnt deserve what she did and she definetly doesnt deserve your TRUE AND HONEST FRIENDSHIP!

God bless and stay strong ((((HUGS!)))))

Sorry you lost your friend but i think WANT is right. I have a co-worker who always makes mean remarks about people who have a WLS and she is the sole reason I have only told my mother(shes not happy either but whatever).

:clap2::clap2: congratulations :clap2: :clap2:

I cant wait until its my turn

Congrats :clap2:

Longhorn,

I thank you so much for this letter! I had decided not to tell my family until I had a surgery date(hopefully). I just didnt want to explain it or try and justify why i was doing this, but this letter (with some tweeking to fit my life) is just what I needed.

I have a habit of having a strong tone in my statements and tend to make people upset. I dont mean to but I get frustrated when they dont get what im trying to say.

Thank you again for letting us use parts of your letter to our own families.

Mich,

We are on the same schedule! I will hopefully be banded late April early May 2008, i've just started the 6 month diet.

:clap2: CONGRATULATIONS :clap2:
