Hi, I thought I was set on John Hopkins Bayview - but now I'm hearing different things that have me rethinking it... Has anyone used them? I'm in Harford County.

Hi, This is my first forum about weight loss surgery - the first one I am posting to I mean. I've finally decided to have the surgery, I've put it off for years, my doctor has been trying to get me to do it forever now... I'm in denial I guess. So I think I'm going with the band, I see the surgeon next month so I'm not sure yet. I already have pre-cert from insurance. My physical is this afternoon...... I guess I have two big fears, one some thing going wrong, I have three kids and they need a mother. Two, going through all this and still not losing the weight.... has that ever happened??? Thanks for having this forum, it looks like a really great place! Created by MyFitnessPal.com - Free Calorie Counter

I want to ask questions about the sleep study - I don't want to keep posting here and be a lazy thread hog, lol.

Hey Jetsy - that's great that you can do those things together! My youngest is my biggest concern. She's about 40 pounds overweight and she just turned 9. She's tall and is "big boned", she has bigger feet than I do! But she is definitely too large, I try to bribe her with clothes but I know I'm setting a poor example (at least in the past).

It amazes me that you're up and about and posting that soon after surgery! Are you sore at all? Are you actually hungry or just missing real food? ( I know I'll cry the first time I pass the milkshake shop! lol)

That's great! I'm so happy for both of you! I have three kids and the two youngest are overweight, I hope that if I have this done their eating habits will change by default and we'll all be healthier.

Thanks for the info - I'm glad you are doing well and happy with your decision. Was it hard for your daughter?

Hi, are you guys still walking? I haven't had my band done yet but I'm working on it! I'm in Belcamp.

Thanks for the reply, Kris! I had my general check up yesterday and found out I have to restart my 6 month process because she says it has not been documented every month........

Thanks, Jack!

Thank you! I do have my husband but both of my parents died when I was little and I'm always afraid of leaving my children... I guess it's the choice between being here now and watching them live or having the surgery and TAKING part in their lives from here out?? When are you having your surgery?
