  3. oh ok cool... you are happy with your lap band?
  4. where in cali do you live?
  5. Ha lol ya thanks... I need to remember that she is my mom... how would I feel if my daughter was going in for surgery. (My daughter is 3 though).
  6. I think in a way my mother is jealous also. We are both overweight and have done weight watchers together. she lost 20 and then gained it all back... i lost 60... i think she is concerned also that her daughter is having a surgery... and also she is just negative. she is never happy about anything that i do unless she can brag to someone about it. when i got my AA she was SO HAPPY! but anything else that is good i dont even want to share it with her because she always answers with pursed lips and eyebrows raised and a shrug. i am glad that i got the courage to tell her not to come to my last appt and i wish i could tell her not to go to surgery but there is no way. well i am glad i am not alone in this!
  7. Hey we are all in the same boat here... we are all looking this way and trying to change. i am going to put up some body shots right before... most of mine are all upper shots hahahaha... my mother is driving me nuts! she is so unsupportive and negative. everything i mention to her she has a negative response. i am just not even going to mention it anymore.

    Cool thanks! So i got my surgery date.... february 25th. my sponsor wants me to get my prescription early if possible and she will fill it for me and hold it for me. I am to get Darvocets if possible because I love me some viccoden... and then motrin. She wants to be in complete control of the meds so I am not stressing or questioning or mind effing myself on them...

    RHC thanks! I have been trying since April of last year. HMO kept denying me so in November at open enrollment I switched to PPO and it has just happened. Any idea what insurance you will be switching too? Whatever you do... choose PPO... or go to Mexico... no pre op testing crap. you are in and you are out. Dr. Kuri is supposed to be excellent and he adds all over this website. A woman that I met on here got it done my him and she said it was awesome plus you get weekend in a hotel and room service.... so if insurance doesnt work you could always go that route.
  14. Whats up girl? I got my date. February 25th. I cant wait. I am soooo excited!

  15. Thanks girly! I got my date... February 25th. I can't wait. The clock has finally began to tick!

  16. I dont think I have a pre op diet. But I am meeting with the surgeon next Friday so he might tell me then that I have too. You are doing pre op right? Why are they making you do that? I can't believe 5 more days for you! Are you gonna post up any pics?

  17. OK so i am scheduled for February 25th! I can't believe it! I am so happy! FINALLY!!!! SO i am 9 days after you...
