Hello all, I have been on here for awhile but mainly just to get some reading information and answers to a few of my million questions! I am currently wainting for the insurance to approve me as I have completed all of the requirement that they had set, so wish me luck and hello to ALL!

I am in Keller, between downtown Fort Worth and the Texas Motor Speedway.

I am also waiting on insurance.

It looks like you've already dropped more than a hundred pounds in advance. Congrats!!

I'll race you to 200.

Good luck!

I have lost over 130 but as of now I am only down 90, I changed from second to first shift and BOOM instant 40lbs since september. I am back on track and dropping again but I have done this up and down crap for the last 10 years:thumbdown:. Enough about me, who is your doctor and how long have you been waiting on the ins. company? I chose Dr Carter but I have been reading about the way he does his fills and I think that it will take a year just to get enough in the band to make a difference, I also turned all of the paperwork about 1.5 weeks ago, so I am getting anxious. I am all for the race, now what are we gonna put on it to make it good?!

My surgeon is David Kim. He airs local TV commercials.

I was shopping around and he was the first I went with. I love the staff in his office. They are knowledgeable and have been nothing but helpful.

I was supposed to have a date on January 6th but my cardiologist didn't not cross all of his Ts and dot his Is.

Hopefully I will hear sometime this week. I am planning on surgery being early February.

I'm dropping weight in preparation as well. I want the lapband to be my safety net. So, I don't put it back on...again

"Again" I feel your pain there, I have been in the 400's and I really dont know how heavy I was but Low carbed it all the way to 285 in 10 months. I was soooo burned out by that time there was no way I could stay on it, so the yoyo dieting begain and before I know it I was at 385 again. I dropped back down to 280 from jan. to sept. of last year and I am at 325 right now. I changed shift at work and never could getback into a schedule or routine with the family and all of the sporting events and then the holidays. I am getting back on track i think.
