Okay this guy I used to mess with (4yrs known) , he's all like he think I should wait and try to lose weight on my own first before I make rational decisions. First of all 2 yrs ago he claimed if he hadn't just gotten out of a relationship he would be with me. He played this lil games of saying I love you's;then when I caught feelings he had the NERVE to say..I don't like you like THAT I thought we were friends. now in 2010 he has this girlfriend he been with for 2 yrs that he previously lied about. He hits me up on IM all the time telling me i'm beautiful and blah blah.all I have to say is.I'm getting fit and fab, and will he have a chance? NO. He want to be FRIENDS, sure I can be FRIENDS because my feelings for him has been caught in the wind somewhere. I bet he is going to SO wish he never let a good woman like me go. And I SO can't wait to turn some heads. I want to be fierceeee by my birthday Jan 3rd!!!

You go girl, do this for you and no one else. He had his chance, you will look amazing and when you turn heads he will be in the back ground going.. man oh man, I should've hung on to that one. Good luck in your weight loss!

Right here! Im scheduled to be banded on 7/30! I am self pay which sucks but really excited to do this. I'm nervous and a little worried but keeping positive!

I also am scheduled for the 30th, hopefully nothing will change between now and then. Good luck to you on this journey.:thumbup:

Well I'm on day 5 of the pre-op diet and boy is my body missing carbs. Anyone else feeling crappy on the pre op?

I have my first official meeting (since the free seminar) on June 30th. I have to meet with a dietician, psychologist, and fitness person before I get approved. Then, I will have to see if insurance will approve me. I was told they require a 3 month doctor supervised diet before approving me. That stinks.:thumbup: I'm hoping to be banded before the end of summer. I'm really looking forward to dropping this weight. I've never been skinny before in my life and I want to know what it feels like!!!:Banane20:

July 28th for me! I attended the free seminar May 24th, and was told right there and then that my insurance BCBS Federal will almost always approve the procedure as long as you have a BMI higher than 40.

My PCP wouldn't sign off on the letter, so I made an appointment to confront, uh I mean ask nicely, WHY THE HELL NOT??!! I've gained 25 lbs in a year and a half, AND to add insult to injury I found out I'm actually 5'6", not 5'8" like I always thought. So...I actually have a higher BMI than I thought I was. Really good/crappy news I guess.

So I've had my bloodwork, EKG, chest X-ray, psych eval and meeting with the nutitionist who by the way stuttered and repeated the first sentence of every paragraph. I suppose sometime before I actually have my preop on 7/6 I'll get an approval letter from the insurance company.

I'm holding onto that date though, 7/28. Hopefully in approximately two weeks I should be starving, uh prepping myself with the liquid diet. It's great to have all this information and support from this group!:thumbup:

I've been told to lose 12 lb before my surgery date and I'm 1/2 way there. Never been so motivated, believe me!

Hi there. My surgery date is July 13. Just wondering why your Dr. has asked you to lose weight? My doctor didn't even put me on the pre-op diet I keep reading about here. Also, I've become so complacent that I've actually gained a few pounds. Getting nervous now.

July 25th is my date. I need to lose 25-30 lbs before the surgery. Will start today my liquid diet.< /p>
