Wow Jackal!!

Just a little improvement... LOL!

You look GREAT.

Hugs!

MusicalMomma - yeah - those insurance charts suck. I heard somewhere that your bones get more dense when you carry weight for a long time - and the insurance charts just don't take that into consideration.

Thanks to everyone for posting on this thread. I am 5' 1" and 325lbs making my BMI 61.5! I am scheduled to be banded on June 14th with Dr. Malley in KC. My husband is scheduled to be banded on May 24th, so we are taking the journey together. I am a nurse, an old OR nurse in fact, so there was no way I was going to have or let my husband have an open procedure. But even when lap bypasses came along, I did not like the nutritional complications that still existed with that procedure. I was so excited to find the LapBand - I truly believe it is the answer for both of us. We both need major help with Portion Control.< /p>

Tasha - I would encourage you to speak to your primary care physician as well as a gynecologist. My gynecologist is very supportive of my choice and wrote a very good recommendation to my insurance company. She helped me through 3 miscarriages and eventually a successful pregancy, so she knew more of my issues than my PCP. Even though I don't have outward co-morbidities at this time - it is only a matter of time before they start. If I could have made this choice at 20 I would have!

Good Luck to everyone no matter what stage in your journey you are.

And still single all you Texas girls! Go figure. LOL LOL LOL...

Thanks, living proof, you can do it!

Don't you worry, Sugar.

I would hazard a guess that you won't have nearly as much trouble meeting Miss Right as you might have in the past.

Smile a lot. Look women in the eye. Flirt.

You can do it! Just remember - the worst they can say is "No".

You have to kiss a lot of toads before you find your Princess.

No reason you can't enjoy the process....

Good Luck!!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
