WOW.. I can't believe you are back at work already. I was banded yesterday at 2 30 in the afternoon. I am fairly uncomfortable but nothing too horrible, but I cannot imagine having to go back to a job in a day or two.. Good for you! Best wishes to you!

We will be triplets!! That is my date also. I am excited and nervous all at once! What kind of Protein Drink are you going to use? I am glad I found you both! Oh, btw, I am in Missouri. Good Luck!! Teri

I have an appointment tomorrow and I feel overwhelmed. The paper work asks for all this information I don't have. When I tried all the other weight loss things over many years, I never thought there was a reason to keep track of everything I did and document it all. I don't have high blood pressure, but I do have other problems. I am just so worried that I don't have enough information to get approved and I have a hard time even imagining what a finacial burden I would place on my family if we self pay. DO I even have half a chance at having my insurance cover me if I don't have documentation of everything I have tried? Ahhhhh! Thats how I am feeling right now.

Could I be this old and this nieve all at the same time. Oh the things I learn reading these posts!! I am blushing MADLY! ehhhheheheheheheheh

I have an appointment in a few weeks, but as I am filling out the paper work I am afraid I don't have enough else wrong with me to get the insurance company to even consider it. I feel discouraged to even try. My husband is totally supportive and says we will self pay, but I feel so guilty putting that strain on my family. Ugg.. How can I get to the point where I know I am worth the money???? Anyone else ever feel this way?

Tell me how you got started. I don't think insurance will cover me. Although my bmi is high enough, I have no other major issues. We are planning to go to Mexico, but I don't even know where to begin.

Dancing Queen, Tell me how to get started..I want to go to Mexico to have the procedure done....

Wow, I really loved reading what everyone has discovered about themselves!! I wish I could put my finger on why I am fat. My mother of course claims it is just genetics, so I should just learn to be happy. Other than never feeling satisfied after I eat ( I think my " i'm full " button is broken) I don't know why I over eat. Or maybe I should say, I don't know why I cannot seem to excersise the self control to stop eating. I know in the end the eating will only make me miserable and disappointed with myself, but I do it anyway. I have never really binged on anything. Never eaten a carton of ice cream or a bag of chips, I just over eat at lunch and dinner. I have no reason to be unhappy. I have an amazing family. A good husband, 5 great kids that I gave birth to and a step son. Great friends, active in my church. I got a roof over my head and enough money to meet my needs.... so why would I need to medicate myself with food? I am not sure. How do you figure out the reason?

I have been reading posts for days now. You all make me laugh and really inspire me. I have been researching the info to get the band. I have been heavy all my life and I really want to move past it. I am 37, I have a wonderful, very supportive husband and 5 kids. 4 boys and my youngest,a little sweetie girl. I want to teach them better than I have about taking care of their bodies and finding their self worth by whats on the inside, not the out! But thats hard to do when your own brain won't let you think that about your self! Ya know?? I am looking seriously at Mexico. The price is so much better than here in the states and from all the information I have recieved, and read, it is a state of the art place and the Dr's are great. I can't wait to get it all planned and done. I am thrilled to go to a place( this website) with all the encouragement and support a gal could need. I look foward to making some friends along the journey. Wish me luck!!

I love the bribery idea! I just know if he would try new things he would like them! And he is VERY in to cold hard cash. I will check out that link! I need all the ideas I can get!! Thanks!!

Thank you all for relplying. This actually was my get away yesterday. Two kids have the flu and one is COVERED in poison ivy!! Ahhh the joys!! Here is a question for you. We eat really healthy. We cook everything from scratch, grind our own wheat for bread and stuff. Eat lots of chicken, not too much red meat.. you know the drill. But how do you get your KIDS to want to eat it? You think with 5 I could have figured it out. But so far, with the oldest one, it is not working. What do you all do? Plus he is from my previous marraige, so when he goes to his dad's he eat anything. I am sorry.. I talk to much!! hheehe.
