I saw you were looking for a buddy, maybe thats me. I'm 39, married, mother of 2 and 240lbs. Surg scheduled for 12/3! Hope you are well.

What great news!!!! I am happy for you. Are you ready???!! WoW that was quick. I have a six month wait, and next week will be my three month visit. I have to have another sleep study w/the c-pap on Thursday. I had the blood work and I need the EKG. I (hope) will be ready for surg in November.

Congrats to you!

How are you??? Great I hope.

I enjoy reading your posts, thanks for sharing. My info session is next week...wish me luck!

Hi! Today went well, he said I'm not crazy and that I am a good candidate for surgery. It took almost three hours!!! I feel good about it and am happy thats over with. Tomorrow night I have a sleep study....I'll let you know how it goes. Take care:)

Good luck girl!! Dont have a date yet but I have my hopes set on late November. Best wishes on your journey.

22lbs thats great! I am from MD too, not banded yet keeping my fingers crossed for a November surgery date. Keep up the good work.

SO, sleep study last night...I didnt sleep well at all and the tech told me he was pretty sure I will be back soon for another study w/the CPAP. I'm not sure of the count but he said if I had gone to sleep sooner I would have reached the number of times I had a respiratory disturbance, and that I need a CPAP. Don't know how I feel about that, does that mean I dont have to wait 6 months for my surg? Because sleep apnea is pertty serious-I'm learning. Apnea would exlpain why I'm soooo tired and cranky most of the time. This has been a pretty productive week; psych eval and sleep study DONE.

I hope all went well today and congrats on your PCP's support. My insurance didnt require PCP approval but I'm hoping she is in favor of it.

Have you decided if you are going to tell everyone? My husband, sister and a few friends know but I'm afraid to be ridiculed by people who dont understand what its like to be overweight.

WOW Dawn!!! Good for you. Congrats.

Good job, you are looking great!

cute shoes too!

I havent been here for a while but I'm good. Banded 12/3/10 and have lost 20lbs, so I guess I'm on my way.

54!!! Thats great keep up the good work.

You are an inspiration! Congrats.
