hey girl! I love your "about me" section. I know exactly what you mean!! How are things with you? Are you on your way to being banded?

Hey Hun!! Have you been banded yet? I'm going today to see my PCP. My insurance covers it and after a year of contemplating I am taking initiative and doing what I know is best for myself especially since I want to live a healthy long life! Let me know your progress and what not. I always think it's great to talk about the process and have people who understand what you are going through!

Good luck & ttys

Hey! I am going today to meet with my PCP. My insursance company covers it and I have the proof of dieting and being up and down in weight for longer than I can remember. I can finally talk about it (I have told my 2 best friends who I know will be there and support me) and can talk without crying--so I know I am ready for it! I am hoping to get some good news today..(fingers crossed)...we can def keep in touch! And about the "rolls" spanx are my best friend under garment!! Haha. I also carry alot of my weight in my legs :/. Good luck Hun--

Hey Debbie,

Thank you for the message about my picture. I am going tomorrow to see my PCP to talk about my Lap band options. My Insurance covers it and all I need is my PCP to give me a recommendation. I have been wanting this for over a year but did not pursue it because I still felt "nervous" and thought I could do it on my own. Within that year I gained 40lbs. I am so excited to talk to my PCP and find out what the next steps are to do and *hopefully* schedule a surgery within 2 months. If there is any words of wisdom you can give me that would be great!

Good luck and you look great!

Thanks, Kate
