Congradulations on your time on the 5K. You can do anything that you set your mind to. I have never been 145 lbs. My whole life I have been about 250 lbs. By the time I had my surgey I was up to 273. I am now down to 235. I can't weight to see 200 lbs. I have small goals with an ultimate goal of 150. I will see it. But is going to slow. Good luck on the Jan. race.

Good luck on the marathon. Wish I could run a marathon. I am just getting over a broken foot that they have no idea how I broke it. I have been told that I can break it again if I walk on it the wrong way. I have been at a stand still. On the 1st of Dec. I started to work out. Have been doing the treadmill and bike last week and monday the personal trainer showed me the machines and I hope that I get to work out at least 2 times a week. I really did enjoy it. I am going to take it easy and work my way up to 3 times a week. It is hard to find time with my work schedule and my kids schedule. We all are on different time schedules. I had my surgery in April and only have lost about 50 lbs so far. Good luck and keep up the good work.

I too have had a loss in my family and I was constantly throwing up when I ate, even liquid stuff. My doctor told me that the band will constrict when I am upset. He suggested that I take it easy on my self and not worry about getting my fill at that time. He refused to give me a fill at that time. I am at a stand still at this time but with the holidays and family stress, I am holding off on a fill due to I still have trouble with throwing up after eating. Going to enjoy the holidays with my family.

Call you insurance company and get the confirmatin number. I got a letter from insurance stating that I do qualify, and they will pay, but no confirmation number. When time came they refused to pay:cursing:. Had to post pone my surgery and jump through more hoops and get a appeal before they agreed to pay for the surgery. Once I had the confirmation number I had 30 days to get the surgery done or I had to go through everything again. I was able to get the surgery done and insurance payed for it:thumbup:. Lots of prayers went up for me from my family and friends. I will say one for you. Good luck.
