Calling Dr. today

[pamla68 1]

Good morning,

I'd like to say hello. I'm new to the board. I have researched and made a descision this is what I want to do. I currently weigh 265. I have yo yo'd for several years. I want something that I can control or at least feel as though I have no choice but obey what my stomach tells my mind. I will call Dr.Virgina Weaver in Memphis. I hope everyone can be a support for me as I will be likewise.

Hey Pamla68,

Love your tagline--that's Jill Scott, right?

I'm new to all this myself-just had an information session last week and it solidified for me what I need to do to get going with this process of having the insurance approve me for the surgery. It's scary, but so worth it. i think it's a bit more scary to find out in 30 years that the extra weight was a contributing factor to your early demise. I'm scared of living in the shadows the rest of my life, I'm only 37 and I feel 10 years older. let's make this journey together, I'm ready if you are!

Best,

Mari

Hi everyone, I'm new to the board, was banded on Feb 16 although it still seems rather surreal. Until I start to drink something and the gas pains double me over! I am hoping to get a handle on my eating habits. I have yo-yoed all my life. After losing over 75 lbs 2 years ago, I started stress eating again, and gained back 30 lbs. I hope this is the answer, not only to lose the 40 lbs till my goal, but to MAINTAIN it in a healthy way.
