Topic: New here! hello
I am new to this board.
I am researching lapbanding in Mexico, and hope to get it done soon.
Can you share your experience, if you had it done in Mexico,
Heidi

HI! How is the WLS journey going? Have you gone to any of the support group meetings at OHSU? Are you still waiting for approval and then surgery date or did you already get approval?

Topic: RE: Kaiser Permenente in Salem
Peggy congratulations on your awesome weight loss! 
Brick walls are hard-I'm rooting for you!
I've been going to the support group every month, I'm going to the pulmonologist next week, I've been keeping a food diary. went to the orientation.
unfortunately my class doesn't start 'till November-but it's only five weeks.
I've lot 17 lbs, and I'm starting water aerobics in October.
So I'm hoping for the best and I am very, very impatient.

Alicia contreras 
thanks so much... I thought about trying alli but wasnt sure how it would work unfortunately i dont think my insurance will pay for it,id like to lose weight before i have my surgery. I don't have a surgery date yet, i've been waiting for years for this and it just never seems to move fast enough... Ya i'm nervous about when i'm all done all the hanging skin,are you gonna have it removed??

I have Kaiser, It took me 18 months to get from orentation to having a meeting with the surgeon. I too went thru the 12 week freedom from diet class, then had many meetings with Brenda, ( the dietician) and Julie ( the social worker). I had my durgery done at Kaiser Sunnyside in Clackmus. I had surgery on August 22, 2006. I started out at 526 lbs and currantly weigh around 236 lbs. I have hit the brick wall.
Good luck on your journey

Topic: RE: over 500 pounds
I started my journey, weighing in at 526 lbs. I currantly weigh around 236, and have hit the brick wall. I had open RNY on August 22, 2006. I lost approx 156 lbs before surgery. My dr. prescribed xenical ( now Alli) I went into surgery ay 370. I have Kaiser insurance. I was so scared about having this done, but I am so glad I did. I work out 4x a week with a trainer at LA Fitness. The only thing I really hate, is all the hanging loose skin, and no matter how much you diet and exercise, it won't go away.
good luck on your journey,
Peggy
