Hello Everyone, I have been thinking about surgery for a couple of years now and have never gone past the step of attending a seminar. This time I'm determined to follow through. I feel I can't wait any longer and I haven't been able to do it on my own, I'm so tired of trying and failing.

Been Awhile
on March 17, 2008 11:29 am

Guess I should have wrote something sooner huh.  Ok had the surgery 12/10/2007 everything was ok stayed 3 days went home only took 1 pain pill the 1st night. Went back to work 1 week later felt fine just tired easier so did 1/2 days for a 3 days.

Wasn't really hungry hard getting all the liquid in. As time progressed tried different things some didn't stay down some did.

Now, I have been back and forth in the months with holding stuff down any liquid or liquidy stuff ie yogart, TG for SF fudgcicles. I kept trying chilli, beef, chicken, turkey the chilli and tunafish was ok for awhile, The last 3 weeks I haven't tried any meat cause no meat will stay down. I am still trying to slow down the eating, I know this is some of the problem. I've tried bad things too of course my luck they stay down but I'm staying away (I hope). 

Happy with the weight loss (how can I not be) though it's less then I expected by now, I wouldn't have lost it with out the surgery. Clothes are lose and I can fit in some that I haven't fit in for a long time and that's good enough for me now..

Meet the Dr
on October 24, 2007 11:44 am
On October 9th I met with Dr JB. The staff was nice (especially the nurse) the nutritionist talks about 100mph thankfully every thing she says is supposed to be written down and given to you later ($150.00 for a 15 minute speed hearing class) . Dr JB was quiet and answered questions, my sister liked him his credential are fine for me I don't need hand holding.

Since then I've been cleared by the PCP, Psych, Pulmo, Cardio. Gastro, still need test the first week of Nov. I haven't heard if Insurance has said yes yet wish me luck.

My Story

My story is similar to most people here. Chubby baby, chubby kid (always picked on) As a teenager I hardly ate I was somewhat happy with my look (not weight) from 17yrs to 20yrs and never again.

Had my first child at 21yrs gained 80pds with him didn't lose much before my daughter came around 18 months later.  Soon came a divorce and depression.

I've been on pills (including the ones recalled) Found a doctor that gave me thyroid pills (when I didn't need them) I was so happy I lost weight then he retired. Been on pills (prescriptions,TV, OTC ), Nutrisystem, Doctor diets, weird diets, Atkins. I've used TV exersise gimmicks and Bally's Fitness. Some I've had success some not, always gained it back to the same weight sometimes more.

As I've gotten older I've had more and more health problems. I can't even walk up 7 steps without feeling like I've hiked a mountain, 14 step to get in the office everyday and I'm breathing like a horse that ran a race.
