      1. Wow. Your story is very compelling and interesting. A fighter. wow for you girl. I had my surgery last Wednesday. I had a little struggle with my blood pressure in the HP. couldn't keep the liquid down. It is all good now. Found out I was sick due to the pain meds. I got on the scale today, am down 8lbs. I am still on a soft diet. I hate mushy vegetables, but squash tastes great. I feel good physically. Have several holes in my stomach. the wrap came off fo one today and it is healed. So I am on the road to recovery. I went outside for a walk today. It is cold but it felt good. I am just looking forward to getting the weight off. I want to loose 80 lbs. The Dr said 70, but, It is mydecision. I will see when i get there. I started at 228. Keep in touch, Mary.

  1. Margarita,

    I am preparing for the diet. Is your big day still the 11th? What is a good liquid drink? I have not liked many I have tried.

  2. Where are you? I mis-understood you. I thought you lived in NY. Utah is one of my favorite places. I cannot imagine living anywhere more beautiful. I am just getting to hate the winter. It has been very cold and windy the past few days. Miserable and snowy. Skiers will love it.

    Tell me how much weight do you want to loose. My Doctor recommends I loose about 70 lbs. I am thinking more along the lines of 80.

    How old is your child and is it a boy or girl?

    My surgeon does not take my insurance...what?!!!

    I am glad it is working out for you. Insurance is such a problem. They take our premiums then hold us hostage. Good luck. Mary.
  4. Hello Alice, I am trying to decide for sure between the band and bypass. I have to make my final decision by Monday. Surgery scheduled for the 11th of Nov. I am not comfortable with such a drastic measure such as bypass. Would you do it again? Is it comfortable. How do you like having the port? Mary.

  5. Hi,

    got your message. I am having a struggle. I can't decide if I want the band or bypass. I am very nervous about the bypass. There is a slight mortality rate. That concerns me. I am going to give them the final answer on Monday. I am almost sure it will be the band. Less invasive. Have a great day. Mary

    I'm afraid of what my *belly* will look like after weightloss

    Margaritadlc, Hi, I am Mary and I am scheduled for surgery on Nov 11th. I am 5'5" and weight 228. I am very concerned about my belly, but also my boobs. I don't think there is anything i can do for them. My stomach however I believe exercise will take care of. How old are you? You are very pretty and I am sure when you get the weight off you won't notice a bellie that hangs a little. Don't sweat the small stuff. Keep me posted on you progress. Mary.
  7. HelloAlice,
