How long for you guys between "approved" and "done"????

Dacry--I will definately take you up on the shopping spree--Lord knows there is no shopping up here in the woods--unless you like Carharts!

I was approved and had all my paperwork in by the middle of May and was just banded on Monday (7/26) at Theda Clark. I'm not sure where you are at in WI or where you are having your surgury, but I am having a great experience with Dr. Wasco at Theda and well.... i'm feeling good enough to be on the website WHOOOO HOOOOOOO!

Kimber, you lucky girl! It might have seemed like a long wait, but I don't think that approval took long at all! You'll be banded in no time flat.

Funny Carhart comment... do they have any plus size overalls?

Hey Kimberly,

It was about 6 wks for me... it would have been 4 wks if my surgeon wasn't attending a conference somewhere out of the state.

Hey Kiley... we are neighbors! There is a support group meeting in FDL the first Thursday of every month if you would be interested in attending. It is held at the Aurora clinic... I know I will be going in August. My sister had the gastric bypass with Dr. Wasco at Theda Clark as well.

Let us know when you get a date Kimberly!

Kimber-lilly, Don't buy too many clothes. You'll be having to buy new, SMALLER ones before you know it! Yeah!!!!

Hi All,

I am in the northwoods of Wisconsin--Florence County--up on the border of the Upper Penninsula of Michigan.

I think they DO make plus sized Carharts--seeing as how my brother in law wears them! ha ha

Anyhoo--now waiting for the phone to ring and window shopping--don't dare purchase anything YET!

Told my mom and my fave brother--both very supportive--as well as my super husband--he's so thrilled to get a "new hot wife"---I cautioned him and told him to watch out, it'll still be cranky old me!

[DeLarla 22]

Sorry, Kimber, but the "cranky" goes away... there will be days that you won't be able to stop smiling.
