Hey everybody - I got my date today and it is June 11th. Good Luck to everybody.

Hey fellas. I have been reading on here for the last couple of weeks. I try to check this site a couple times a week, I find it pretty helpful. My story: I am a married 26 year old. I work for one of the local colleges and I am a full-time student. I have always been overweight, but never thought it was a problem. I always laughed it off. Early last year I decided I would have to do soemthing about it, when I couldnt get a job, because of my health issues. I hadnt weighed in more an 4 years and was afraid to do it now. My dad had the GB a couple years ago and lost 150lbs. I decided to go see a Dr about it. I went to the class and made an appointment. My wife and I went only to find out I needed to lose 92 pounds beofre they could do the surgery. I started the Atkins diet since it is the only thing that had ever worked. Within 6 months, by last August I had lost 120 pounds. After that I stayed the same until the hoildays. I gained back nearly 30 pounds over the last 6 months, so I am once again looking to do something. I was one of the guys who says I can do it myself, but i can slowly coming to grips with the fact I might not be able to. My wife and I are thinking about starting a family and I want to enjoy their childhood. I held that against my own dad for a long time. Anyway, I feel like this keyboard is some kind of therapy. I also have a lot of vain reasons. I guess just like everybody else. Anyway, I am happy to be here and to get to know all of you. I have another class scheduled for next Tuesday. We will see how it goes.

One more soon. Get my surgery date next week.

Thanks for the responses. I went to the LB class on Tuesday and my first appointment is tomorrow morning. They tell that with self pay the entire process could take 3 to 4 weeks. I couldnt find the answer to this question, so I will ask. What is slime? Also, I am a big Water drinker, who long did it take to get past sipping water. My doc said I can have water up to 30 mnutes before a meal, but the standard 2 hours after is off limits. Anyway, I was also looking at the bodybugg on another thread. Have any guys used this, what did you think, etc? Thanks in advance. I will try to post soemthime this weekend to report how the consult went.
