    55 focused and fantastic!!!

    Hi Miss Vicki, I am having my surgery on Feb. 13 at 9:45am. I am a mother & grandmother. My grandaughter lives with us and needs a grandma as she said, "That will be like the other moms and can go jogging and run around at the park with her". That's my motivation. I am 50 years old and let this weight take over my life, I wan't my life back. Just because we are older does not stop us from wanting the best life we can have.

    February Bandsters- New Poll

    Hi, I have started my liquid nutrition drinks that my doctor put's you on 6 days before surgery. They taste bad but are to help with a quick recovery. I know I will be ok, my daughter had hers done 2 years ago and she has lost 145lb.

    I am approved !!!!!!!!!

    What I can say is make sure you have a five year history of obisity, you must have done a 6 month diet and not have missed for any reason. Have a 40bmi or 35bmi but must have two of the comorbids that they require. I missed one month in my first 6 month diet (because I was admitted to the hospital and missed my appointment. :eek: Also I had history back to being 13 years olf of being overweight. But was a borderline diabetic, I turned diabetic on 9/15/07 and had then resubmitted.
