Hi everyone I just wanted to check in. I am doing great down 44.5 pounds since surgery on July 2nd, and I am down 10 inches! Yeah. I have been so busy lately, and my sons 3rd B'day is Sat. so I will miss another meeting. I hope everyone has a wonderful, dry weekend. God Bless!

Hey everyone!

Kanina - the best I could say is have a consultation and see if you can scratch up any info from previous patients. With you working in healthcare, you can sometimes have a little better insight than others. Let us know how it goes. I am hoping to start meeting with Plastic Surgeons after the first of the year. I spoke with one at the Obesity walk and he made me feel better about the procedure and insurance. I would like to have it done around the end of June, because July is our least busy month here.

Great loss ReadyforChange!! You are doing so good!! We will miss you at group tomorrow!!

I will definitely be at support group tomorrow (to cold and dreary for outdoor portraits). My husband is coming with me. This will be the first time his schedule has allowed him to attend. =)

Looking forward to seeing everyone!

I really enjoyed group today. Jody, the exercise trainer was awesome. Sure helped me with those moves.

I met Ford's hubby today. He is a very nice looking man. She is a lucky lady.

Jason was there checking us in today. When he got up to speak, a lady near me said "he sure is an attractive man" and was amazed that he had lost so much weight. Be careful, Jason, those ladies might kidnap you! LOL

We missed the rest of you guys. Maybe next month.

Just checkin in to see how everyone is doing? All is well here. Mom made it through her surgery fine. I have been consumed with that for the last couple of weeks. I went to see my primary care physician yesterday to discuss my excessive hunger. I am having horrible issues with PMS. 2 weeks prior I have an incurable hunger that is excrutiating. It didn't start until I hit my 30's and I think that is when I put on most of my weight. Well now it is just torture. She has super-supportive through my lap band journey, so I knew that she would work with me. She has decided to try me on zoloft. She said that your body really does change during "that time" and she has found zoloft to be a good treatment. Keep your fingers crossed. My scale has been dormant for the last 2 months. Does anyone on here take it, if so, does it have any weird side effects? I am only on 50mg. She said I could take it for 2 weeks prior or if I think it works really well I can take it for the whole month. Sorry guys for all the girl talk.

Zoloft is a pretty well tolerated drug it can make you drowsy, some ppl it causes insomnia. go to drugs.com and you will find a good bit of information.

I hope this helps you, its a great medication it will just take it a bit for you to start noticing an improvement. GOOD LUCK keep us posted.
