  1. Thankx for the advice hun, What makes this soo crushing is I am a professional hairstylist.. AVEDA specialist and I know I always advised my clients on ways to prevent and deal with this issue. I shop at distributers weekly and I am gonna try the nioxin. So the vitamins you bought at sephora huh? Do they really work? A friend of mine recommended HAIR a supplement from walgreens. I get all kinds of info. I am the one that makes everyone beautiful and now I feel like I cant keep my own composure. Thanx again I appreciate it

    Someone from my past has no idea...

    Ok so I get this email from a former fling.. I say fling but this Man I have been sooo inlove with for years emails me. He says he's movin to my town. I am terrified!! I was like a body builder last time we saw each other. What do I do? He's an X USMC.. This totally reminds me of one of my previous jobs as a hairstlyist. My boss sat the team down and read this article from a mag about what people think when they see us. She went on to compare the pretty and the ugly in the industry then began to discuss weight. That B*tch went on to say when people see Obese women they immediatly think LACK OF SELF CONTROL and dont want them working on hair. Is this what he will see? I thought I was over this crap yet here it is creeping its Ugly head at me. I could have soo sued my boss since I was the largest women in the room. I want to be stong yet I feel Once Again in bondage to others idea of me......

    Praise God for this thread!!!

    I have had PCOS since I was 16 and it has been hell! I was told very young I would not conceive but after droping 30 lbs I was pregnant!! That was almost 8 yrs ago and I have been wanting another child ever since I had Halie. I want to have the band soo band!! I read that in Europe the band is considered fertility surgery. Women who had PCOS are getting pregnant. Several gyn's told me just loose weight and you'll be fine. Major Lie!! PCOS almost makes it impossible to loose weight. I am part of another site called SoulCysters.com. These women discuss treatments and they are soo informative. I learned about proper treatment from Discovery Health Mystery Diagnosis, to think that PCOS is on that show. I took the info from the show to my Gyn amd she gave me the right meds. I have had consistant cycles now. Weight loss is my next venture.. Its great to have you on here and I read every thread too. I am obsessed with this site. Thanks for reading and relating
  13. you are an absolute Dawl... Congrats on your success!!

  17. I havent had the surgery yet.. Hopefully by the spring

  18. you are such an inspiration!! What a Doll

  19. You look soo Amazing!!!

  20. I havent been banded as of yet. I am gathering as much info as possible. I had bcbs and started the process in nov. 08 and in 09 my company thought it would be swell to not cover the proceedure. I quit 6 months later when my manager asked me about my surgery on floor, she was not privledged to that info. I called HR on my day off from the surgeons office and here she is bringing it up to me months later full of opinions. So now I am searching for a new job and new insurance. I pray that God would allow me to have this surgery soon.

    before pics

    How much did you weigh here and what is your height?
  22. Sorry if this is too personal but what is your bmi and height? I am concerned because I feel that your denial process may be similar to mine. I am hoping to start a new job at Chase and I hear they have great ins. that cover Lap band. I would like to know what they discussed with you during your approval process. I had high blood pressure in the spring, PCOS for 15 yrs., & acid reflux. I am right at 40 bmi and I'm 5'2.. let me know what challenges your expirenced. I really appreciate it!!

  23. How many months has it been since you were banded?

    Do you have any new pics to post? I am soo excited to see your progress..

  24. Your post was soo informative and I thank you for that!! I am seeking surgery through Nix WLC in SATX. They have a great team. I am currently interviewing with JPMorgan Chase and I am on my 3rd interview. I hope its good news!! I hear they have great ins. and the group allows for WLS. You look amazing and your wife is a doll. Congrats on your progress and may God bless your journey.:thumbup:
