I'm excited and I can't wait to get all my clearances so i can get a date!

I look forward to being able to get pregnant and looking CUTE when I have my baby belly - not just FAT. I look forward to wearing clothes which don't come from a plus sized store! I look forward to being able to walk and exercise without worrying about my asthma!

Good morning everyone! I'm doing pretty well with my pre surgery weight loss. With the group I'm working with you have to lose your 10% before you even get to see the surgeon. I'm in the process of getting all my clearances, and I've lose 21 lbs so far! From 317 I'm down to 296! I'm absolutely thrilled with my results so far. I'm on a 1200 calorie diet, and at first the weight kind of melted away, but I'm having to start adding exercise to see results now. Well hope everyone enjoys the rest of their weekend!

I'm from NY too - live about 40 miles west of Albany

Yup, lots and lots of hoops. Since my BMI is over 60 due to my being so short the nutritionist is requiring extra clearances. I'm determined to do this though, so I'm following my 1200 calorie diet, and making all my appointments

I'm working on losing my 10% weight so I can get a surgery date. I have scheduled all my many appts for clearances (Need Cardiology, Pulmonology and Psychology) except for Psych since I'm having difficulty finding a therapist which accepts CDPHP I also have an appt with a Gastroenterologist for a consult to have a GRD whatever that test is. And my husband and I are going to go for a sleep study. So I'm thrilled that I'm on my way. Since 9/8 I've lost 8 pounds

Thank you for the welcomes! I'm so excited to be beginning this journey My hubby is considering following in my footsteps after I have the surgery done (he's 6'2" and weighs 320lbs)

Hi everyone. My name is Melissa, I'm 32 years old, and I'm beginning the process to get my lap band surgery done. Tomorrow I meet with the nutritionists :yippee: I'm 5'0 1/4" tall, and weigh 313lbs which makes my BMI 60.6 I live in Upstate NY near Albany, and will be going with Dr. Paul Singh at Albany Med. I've been researching the Lap Band for about 3 years now, and have to get my BMI under 40 in order to qualify to get treated by Albany IVF so I can try to get pregnant. I'm looking forward to learning and having support from all of you
