YELLOW ROSE 0 Posted June 21, 2005 Hey Ya'll, You Guessed It I'm From Texas! Just Wanted To Introduce Myself. I Have Been Reading Posts For About A Month. I Am 32, Married To A Wonderful Man This Time, Lol.... I Have 2 Boys And 1 Girl. They Keep Me Busy! I Work As A Nurse So My Schedule Is Hectic. I Am Waitng On The Insurance Company To Say Git-r-done!!! I Still Have To Go For A Physical. Did My Bloodwork Already. Just Playing The Waiting Game. Anyway, I Hope To Meet Some People From The Ft. Worth Area. Maybe Make Some New Friends. Ya'll Know How Intimidating It Can Be To Try To Make New Friends Being What They Call "morbidly Obese". Hope To Talk To Some Of Ya'll Soon.. I WILL BE HAVING MY LAP BAND WITH DR. MARSDEN FROM LEWISVILLE, TX. I'M 5'5" AND 274#. I HAVE AT LEAST 125 LBS TO LOSE. I WAS ALWAYS BIG BONED NOT REALLY THAT FAT NOW THAT I LOOK BACK AT THE PICTURES I DIDN'T LOOK AS BAD AS I THOUGHT. AFTER GETTING PREGNANT THE WEIGHT NEVER CAME BACK OFF. I LOVE GOING TO CURVES TO EXERCISE, SO HOPEFULLY THAT WILL HELP THE PROCESS GO A LITTLE FASTER AFTER I GET BANDED. JAMIE Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mousecrazy 2 Posted June 23, 2005 Guess what?! I live in Sanger, and I am getting an appt. with Dr. Marsden in Lewisville, too!!! I am working on the 10 page form now, having letters written to the insurance company. My insurance will cover the surgery, if I qualify :rolleyes ...BMI 40 (estimate), joint pain, numerous failed attempts at weight loss, etc...I am 5'7" and weigh in the neighborhood of 280, so I have some serious weight to lose. I have a 7 year old daughter, and I'm kinda fond of walking, so must take off weight so I can prowl the parks at WDW again, without pain this time! Since you're a little ahead of me, would you mind being a bit of guide for me? You KNOW we both have that good ol' Texas hospitality! Let's "Git-R-Done!"
