reverie

Pick me pick me! :smile: I sent you a message. Thanks for being so caring!

You should follow the instructions that your Dr. gave you not someone elses. And congrats lilhoot!! :smile:

Screenname: reverie Real Name: Ashley! Age: 19 State/Province: Maryland Date Banded: N/A Surgery Date: N/A Possible Surgery Month: Hopefully the end of April/beginning of May Lbs Lost: 4lbs so far..just exercising more and eating healthier. Anything you want us to know about you: I'm pretty excited but still very nervous about surgery, but I truly cannot wait to be skinny again!

My name is Ashley :laugh: My insurance is covering 85% and I will have to pay the 15% left over. So hopefully it won't be too much. :thumbup:

Hi Caitlin! I'm 19 (will be 20 in January) and I'm in the process of getting my band as well! I'm almost done all of the pre-op stuff (psych. eval, meet with nutritionist, etc) and hopefully I'll be banned by the end of this month or early May :thumbup: Good luck on your journey and if you ever need to talk or need some help you can always message me :laugh:

Hi all! I've been lurking for a few weeks and today I finally had the guts to call a doctor to make the first step and then post on here of course ! I have a bariatric seminar held by Dr. Singh on 4/14! I'm so excited but it's going to be a long wait because I'm plenty impatient. I've read a lot of the stories here and I hope I can be another success story! I'm only 19, but I've been overweight since the middle of middle school. When my parents divorced I really just blew up. My eating habits have always just been off. Recently with a full-time job I've been just waiting until I get home to eat, so no Breakfast or lunch, which I know is horrible. :thumbup: With my dad passing less than a month ago, I sort of had the final push I needed to get this process started. He had always wanted to help me get thin again, so his passing has really given me that extra oomph to go for it. I can't wait!!

Just scheduled the first appointment with my doctor today as well as one with the dietician. I only have to schedule the psych. exam and then I'm done! Woo. The dr. will be on 4/12 and the dietician 4/13. I'm excited! :cursing: Hopefully surgery is soon enough :thumbup:

Congrats and good luck!

Congrats!! I just started my journey. I'm nervous now and haven't even met my doctor! Don't go into surgery with a negative approach. While you may have failed in the past, you won't this time :Banane20: There are A LOT of resources to help you, especially here. Keep your head up and your mind positive and you'll do great.:Banane20:

Congrats!! I wish my surgery was tomorrow :tongue_smilie:Hopefully everything goes well for you :thumbup: and thanks for sending luck my way.

Thanks jerseygirl for the warm welcome:) I definitely will keep everyone updated. I'm plenty excited but scared at the same time.

Voted as well. Best of luck to you! Will vote again when I get home. :confused:
