That's super sucky! about Turkey day but it's not a real Holiday without a little emotional scarring right? ha ha! I used to have my Septum and lip pierced but ended up taking them out (they didn't like me). Family didn't like it either but it's what we're supposed to do at our age! YEAH BUDDY!! If you ever need someone to talk to you know where to find me Don't consider going off the plan a little "being bad" otherwise you'll end up punishing yourself. It's OK, and get back up but ya know, it's WAY easier said then done! lol Good luck !!

I've got my pre-op appointment on Tuesday then if all goes well ( I hope! ) then I'll pick a date! Do you know what they do at the pre-op?

How was your Turkey Day??

Lookin good girl! Congrats on your accomplishments! I hope to be there too someday!

Take care,

Steph

Looking good my friend! Keep up the good work! Has your journey been difficult at all? I am in the approval process. ~ Steph

Thanks for your advice I have decided I am going to TELL him I am getting the surgery (when I am approved) and if I am not for SOME reason, then he won't know I've been pursuing it.

Hi Karenn1,

I read one of your posts to "what you wish you would have known before surgery" sounds like you might be struggling. If you need advice, or help I am here We're all in this together Good luck

~Stephanie

Step one I'd say approach all of your concerns, questions etc to your Surgeon's nurse he/she will be able to give you all the correct answers. However, I am always up to telling you the information I know per my Surgeon's nurse. Food can only get stuck if you eat too fast and / or don't chew enough. Sounds silly but I use a small plate and a small fork. Subconciously you won't feel deprived as your plate will be full but with the appropriate amount of food. Good luck and feel free to ask anymore questions

well good luck to you! Hopefully I'll be hearing soon if I'm approved. I'm in a sticky situation however. Layoffs are happening all around and my "possible" date is 12/4 I"m hoping I'll be abe to get back to work the following Monday or Tuesday since I have no time off available. A lady at work got it done and was out for 3 weeks so I can't afford to have that happen to me. Yikes...anywho GOOD LUCK! I wish the best, let me know if you're approved! Also if you have any questions I have a lot of knowledge regarding the band so just PM me or leave me a comment and I'll respond I check this site daily ~ Steph

Hey I found your profile through a friend's page. You seem really cool Super cute too! Good luck with the band! Bandsters UNITE!

Hey long time no talk! Dang you are melting away! My insurance keeps going back and forth with me I hate it. They tell me I need a 5yr history of 40BMI+ then I don't, I need a comorbidity, and I don't. Grr man! Well congrats on looking devilishly good! w00t! <3 Steph
