Good Luck !! You must be so excited. I can't wait to hear how it all went. -
Are you using fill centers USA in MN? I have been calling them, trying to find out about using them after my surgery. I live in Manitoba, Canada and will have to drive about 7 hours to the fill center in MN.

What a stressful day for you. I hope it all works out. You are in my thoughts today .

Hi there, I noticed that you are getting banded VERY SOON... you must be super excited. I have a few more weeks to go. Have you started your pre-op diet yet? Where are you having your surgery?
-
Hi there, I am a nurse in Canada and am getting banded on Sept,2 2010. I am sooo excited. have you been banded yet?
-
i feel for you right now. Although I have my husbands support, I do not have my mothers or my friends support. It is very difficult to go through this journey without support. Letting him know that YOU are DOING this for YOU is an important step. It's very hard for skinny people to understand. We are all here for you!

Has anyone read this book? I came across it when I was looking at amazon for some new books to read. By the way my fav author is "Jen Lancaster" she is way toooo funny. If anyone wants a funny read try, "Such a Pretty Fat" it is LOL funny. Well anyways let me know if anyone has picked up the "Weight loss surgery for dummies"?
-
Good luck I am sooo excited for you, Keep us updated on your progress
-
Amazing post. I loved every word of it.
-
Too funny.... I also love getting "tips" not "I told you so " advise. It's like when I was pregnant with my daughter, people kept wanting to grab my tummy. I HATED THAT. I sure didn't want anyone touching my soft spots when I wasn't pregnant so I REALLY didn't want it after I started gaining weight. People are just funny that way. Great job the exercising !

Hi there, I just read your blog. I too am playing for this myself. I am going to mexico on Sept.2 to have my surgery. It is A LOT of money where I am from, so 5000 seemed a bit better. I have found several amazing people on this site. Blogging is a way for us all to get things out there. I just filter out all the good. I wish you tons of luck and make the decision for you and only you.

Thanks so much for your beautiful words. They really meant a lot to me. I just got back from the cottage and your words made me smile. Thank you so much. You are such an inspiration!
-
thank you so much for your amazing words of wisdom. They actually brought tears to my eyes. I went to the cottage with my family for a few days and your words of encouragement have been just what I needed.THANK YOU!!!

I can't wait. It's funny, I actually had a mini panic attack last night. (I have never, ever had one in my life) My husband totally supports me but my friends and most importantly my mom do not support me.:closedeyes: I had another talk with my mom last night but she just kept telling me that loosing weight is all in my head and all I have to do is stop eating so much. With tears in my eyes, I just hugged her and thanked her for taking my daughter for few days when I have my surgery. Food has been my escape for all of my life. My mother was so obsessed with fat and "bad" foods that whenever I could get my hands on something, I would run up to my room and hide to eat it. Sad but true. I am so looking forward to this next step in my life. I know that this is only a tool and that the work is UP TO ME! But I'M UP FOR IT BABY !!

You are such a great motivator!! I want to be as clear as you post-op. Keep up the great work!

Great Job! I can't remember the last time I bought clothes that didn't have a HUGE "PLUS" tag on it. There is nothing plus about clothes that require a different type of hanger to hang them lol. It must of felt amazing to put on the "regular" jeans. I'm still stuck in the ugly "mom jeans" world -
Job Well Done! You made me laugh right out loud about the vodka. I will be starting my pre-op diet in about two weeks and am also bidding farewell to some old favorites. Good Luck on your journey!
-
i am so proud of you! GREAT JOB! Thanks for all the great updates!

Hi, welcome. I also am a Canadian girl getting banded in Mexico. I live in Winnipeg but lived half of my life in Vancouver. I am getting banded Sept.2. Good luck to you in your journey! Nikki

Well..... I just got back from visiting some very skinny relatives. Since I scheduled my surgery (sept 2) I feel like a new person. I am feeling strong and proud. I am not looking at every thing I put in my mouth as the "enemy". Lord knows I am heavier than the last time I saw everyone but it wasn't as big a deal as I thought. I just keep telling myself that I am NOT DEFINED by my weight. Sure the airplane seat belt was snug and sure my seat was a smidge too small....but I know I will take control of my life and will no longer feel ashamed to let the sun shine down on my dimply body.

Well, I am off to toronto so see my thin brother and his VERY thin and fat obsessed wife. I hope that this will be last chubby (hate the word fat) vacation. The heat, the bathing suits , the eating in front of very thin people. Ahhh the pain. I am not telling them about my up and coming surgery as they just wouldn't get it. I just hope to hold my sweaty head op high and have fun with my husband, daughter and extended family.

I am going Sept.2 for my surgery. I am taking a big risk because there is NO doctor here to do my fills. We have a clinic but they won't touch me because I didn't get my surgery there. They were charging around 18,000. +++ for everything. I will have to travel to MN for my fills about an 8 hour drive. I am super motivated about this surgery but food has been my best friend as well as my worst enemy all of my life. I really want to make this work.:rolleyes2:
