 :)

I AM BACK! 
After the let down of getting denied by my insurance for lack of 2 years of weight history and 6 MORE months of diets and doctor appointments...its FINALLY time to RE-SUMBIT for APPROVAL. Im so nervous. After waiting an entire year for this day makes me worry that something else will go wrong. ahhh!

All negative thoughts aside....I AM SOOOOO EXCITED! I feel like its a dream. If everything goes as planned I should have my date this week or early next week! Its starting to become more and more a relality every day.

I made this video of before pictures....I cannot wait to make an AFTER one. :)
And thanks to everyone for your AMAZING comments and kind words!
XOXO

 Everything is done on my part. Now its all left to the insurance company....and the waiting game begins. But it shouldn't take to long. A week or two they say. I'm so excited I cant even stand it. Ahhh. I should have surgery for end of May beginning of June. Yay. :) So Happy.

      Hey everybody. Haven't posted in a while. Been busy and stressed between changing colleges *again* , moving back home, and starting a new job. Crazy Crazy Crazy.lol. Anyways, a lot has happened. I have went for my consult, first meeting with nutritionist, and scheduled my sleep study. Woo Hoo! I can't believe this is really truely going to happen. Wow. :)
      So...with all of the insurance stuff moving forward so fast i have been thinking.... Okay so i usually date a lot and i get hit on..(even at 280lbs+...dont ask me how.lol ) Anyways...lately, i haven't had any desire to date or even begin "talking" to a guy. I just feel wierd i guess you could say. My thoughts behind this are...in say about  6-9 months im going to be ( at least i hope to be somewhat) a completely different person. I've always said... "The guys that I want, I can't get. And the guys I can get, I dont want"   And before you make me out to be a terrible and vain person understand something. I have been big my entire life. My self esteem (even though it might not seem like to others) has suffered. Because of this, I SETTLE. I settle for the guys that dont treat me right but have over looked it because i wanted to feel... loved i suppose. Im sick of looking at guys and instantly thinking that they are 'out of my league' because of my weight. So...basically the quote isnt about looks to me. Its about much more than that. 
              Well...that was my little rant or whatever i had to get off my chest.lol. But let me ask... am i the only one out here that doesnt want to date pre-op? 
Thanks for reading. :)

 Hey everybody. Im new here so I thought Id just post a little bit of intro stuff about me. My name is Brittany, Im 20 years old and live in NE Ohio. I am currently deciding on WLS (Im leaning toward the Lap Band more and more). I, like many on here have been overweight my ENTIRE life. My whole family is overweight as well. To be completely honest, Im simply sick of it. Ive tried everything in the book. Low carb, no carb, exercised, smaller portions, pills, doctors, and even done stupid things to try and beat this bad boy but nothing has worked. I dont look at weight loss surgery as a quick fix by any means.  I know its gonna be hard work and parts of it are gonna fuckin suck, but to me, its sooooo worth it. :) So this is where it all begins for me. And Im really excited about it. I would love to hear from others on here...comments, questions, ideas, whatever. =D
