Anything you want us to know about you: I started my journey (lapband)1/5/10. I have struggled with losing and gaining weight for most of my life since I was a teenager. My highest weight at one point was 247 at 5ft 1inch yeah that is a lot of weight!!! I have come to a point in my life that enough is enough and i reallized that i need to be healty and all i need is a little help so that i don't give up on my self once again. I look forward to meeting friends so that we can help each other especially when we have are struggling moments.....

I am going to the seminar this weekend and so I don't have a surgery date yet, but I know my insurance will cover 100% of the in-network charges. I am looking for people who went to ...or are going to go to... the Del Sol Bariatric surgery location in El Paso. I want to talk to people who have had surgery there to get feedback on the surgeons and support staff. It's important to me that I know as much as possible about the people who will be taking care of me while I am under anesthesia!

I am so glad to have this support available online, anytime I need/want it! I am planning on going to my Dr's support group meetings, but those are only once a month! So far, I have been on a clear liquid diet for 6 days--I am SO hungry! 3 more days, and then on Friday I can begin Full liquid diet for the next 2 weeks! I have never been so thirsty for skim milk in my life! :thumbup: Good luck to all--let's keep each other positive! I am going to lose 108 lbs!
