texancowgirlali 0 Posted January 7, 2008 Simply Me, Thanks for replying. The reason I asked is because I'm 5`8 @ 215 and have been turned down by a couple of Dr.'s for not having a high enough BMI. Although, I did find another Dr. today who will do my surgery. But of course it will have to be self pay which I expected. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SimplyMe 0 Posted January 8, 2008 Yep! I was self-pay! Best money spent in a long time! Absolutely no regrets! Good luck. Let me know how it goes! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ja9va 0 Posted January 8, 2008 Simplyme you look great! I really need to figure out how to post a picture. I was never posted photo's on aol in the olden days or have a my space account, so I am not good at it. does anyone have a simple direction? you all look great. I am hoping to get a photo on here some day Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Suzzzie. 3 Posted January 8, 2008 Ja9va - for me the easiest way to to upload pics from your comuter into a Image hosting, free photo sharing & video sharing at Photobucket account and then use the code that is in brackets like these []. it will say something like [.img.] Just copy that code, then paste it in the window here that you type in.

marcar35 0 Posted January 10, 2008 Hello to all: I was banded June 01/07 in Toronto and thought I would share my pics with you. The first one was taken at my highest weight 3 months before surgery and the second one was taken on my 6 month anniversary of my banding. Celebrated on a cruise ship (I'm the one in the middle):whoo: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
